One thing I'm sure of is they have a plan for center.
I don't think they are going to have a sudden revelation at training camp and say "OMG! We don't have a center on this team! What do we do? What do we do?"
I don't know what the plan is. Whether it's to promote from within, or to get...
The money argument doesn't make sense if you equate whoever they replace Biadasz with to Biadasz's play.
If Washington gets what they believe is an upgrade at center, they'll be will to give that upgrade $8.3 million.
Maybe even more.
They just didn't want to give to Biadasz because they...
I guess so.
Apparently the team thinks more of Payne and are willing to pay him.
At least that is what they are saying in early March...But they weren't willing to pay Biadasz because they think he wasn't worth it.
I'll be watching and waiting to see them execute their plans at OL because...
No one is pivoting. I'm just relating what the article said.
It's not an either/or thing. It's both things. They freed up the cash for free agency. Also they didn't want to pay him that cash because they didn't think he was worth it.
It's not that hard.
It wasn't just cash for free agency. It was because they didn't feel he was worth the $8.3 million he was going to get.
Some fans think he was. They apparently didn't.
I'll trust them over random fans.
As the article said, it wasn't just cash.
Apparently they didn't think he was worth the money he was going to make.
As I said, fans on message apparently think more of him than Washington did.
Everyone has a finite amount they can spend in free agency.
The team didn't want to spend the cash on Biadasz this year, I suppose.
Apparently, fans on message boards thought more of his play than the front office and the coaches did.
They put up this article on Commanders Wire about what's behind Biadasz being let go:
https://commanderswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/commanders/2026/03/01/washington-commanders-salary-cap-cash-tyler-biadasz-released/88927268007/
Seems it was more of a cash move than a salary cap move...
Looks good.
Blends in with a lot of the architecture of historical buildings in D.C. along with a nod to the old RFK stadium.
If they stay with this, it'll look impressive when it is built.
