BGO Blind Pig: Questions for Galdi?

[Boone]

Our favorite Washington podcaster Al Galdi will be joining us on the Blind Pig podcast in a few weeks to discuss the state of Washington's roster and outlook for 2026. If you have questions or topics you would like us to include, let them fly here and we will do our best to use them.

As always, we are super excited to have Galdi join us

There have been stories about how Sam Hartman and JD are close. Perhaps similar friendship is why Aiyuk wants to come to Washington. Does he feel that such relationships may have some input in final roster decisions? ie does this put Greeced Lightning at a disadvantage in making the team?

Does he believe that the team told JD5 to avoid being photographed with Aiyuk so as to avoid further dragging out the situation with the 49ers?

With Dallas potentially getting better defensively, Giants with a steady and capable HC but some roster questions, Philly slipping slightly in personnel and now some open dysfunction and us with a healthy Daniels and upgraded roster (that might be yet to be determined) will the NFC East be wide open this year and who does he see primed to take the division and could we see two NFCE teams in the paloffs.

Some kind of question about the Commanders' budget issue issue we've been dithering about might be interesting. Is Adam Peters constrained by cash limitations each season? How does the team develop its spending budget for free agency? I don't know that Galdi would actually know, but it might be a fun area to explore what happens before they make their decisons and how each decision impacts other decisions.

Greeced Lightning

Is Greeced Lightning not the best nickname in sports history?

Yeah, the question of a spending constraint or not from ownership is the number one issue for me right now. Lots of smoke about it being the case. And it certainly would explain some of the mysterious actions on the part of the front office that have been perplexing us… Not being aggressive in free agency, the Biadasz thing, etc. Doubt Galdi has any inside info on it, but it would be interesting to hear his thoughts regardless.

Follow that up by asking why Hartman was on the roster at all last year...I mean he was QB4 and then they signed Driskel with JD and MM down making Hartman actually QB5

Just a bump... if you have a specific question you'd like to hear Galdi's feedback on, let us know and we will try to work it into the pod next week.

Is Paul really going to be the starting LG again? He and Allegretti appeared to be the weak links last season, how did they earn starter status?

And a simple question - WR2, WTF?
