OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

[Roric]

aiyuk is not coming here this season. you'd think his former GM would be in the mix but there's been almost no smoke

wait till off-season fa and you can really lock him up long term

All I'm seeing is smoke ever since this dotson deal

 

[ynotcaps]

Chase would be insane. I won't let my hopes even gets lightly up on that front.

Chase is an unreal talent, but going after him seems far more like a Snyder-era move than something the current regime would do. I can't imagine us blowing up our salary structure by adding an outside guy who would immediately become our far-and-away biggest contract.

Ive stoppe3d doing fantasy football but if anyone wants to set up a $50 or 4100 league .. id be down to join.

I would start the league and see who joins but im a tech idiot.

big idiot .. currently on day 3 of trying to replace a toilet seat

 

[RandyHolt]

We traded Desmond Howard 2.0 to Philly?

All in on Luke to take over that WR2 spot by midseason.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Chase does have LSU ties. I dont think thats going to keep him away from Burrow

All in on luke as well especially if they don't go out and get aiyuk. Been trying to draft terry everywhere but will also go for LMC as a sleeper this year

Commanders' trade speculation for prolific wide receiver gains fresh legs — Riggo's Rag

The fans are being flamed once again. Aug 23, 2024 The Washington Commanders traded wide receiver Jahan Dotson to a division rival when Adam Peters struck a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. A parting of the ways seemed possible, but moving the player to a team they're going to see twice a year...

Dotson is going to be really motivated when he plays us twice. If we're not careful, he could go off, like 3 receptions for 26 yards, or something slightly above his career average.

I'm way more familiar with NHL trade tendencies, so I guess my question on the Aiyuk front would be whether Dotson -- a still-promising WR that's put up good numbers with a dysfunctional team -- is perceived as worth more or less than a (likely late) 3rd and change? Getting a WR back as part of the swap might save SF some hassle, no?

I just don't see the direct connective tissue between the Dotson trade and another swipe at Aiyuk. Seems speculative to me at best. I think they just cut bait on a guy that wasn't fitting here and got what they could.

 

[Roric]

Unless they just didn't want Dotson, so peters decides to turn him into something that San Fran might want instead.

Firstly, good job AP.

Secondly, if this was a few weeks ago and the rumors that talks with SF have recently opened back up are true, I have to think that means SF is willing to lower the price.

And while obviously no one near the level of BA is going to hit the waiver wire, in less than a week it's going to be a buyers' market on cut-down day. There are always surprise cap casualties that could fill a need for a team not willing to part with draft assets.

There’s been a lot of smoke out here. About the Skins and Aiyuk. He really seems to want to be in DC w Daniel’s.

Seems like a serious Bromance going on between the 2.

Send them McCaffrey, and that 3rd they just got. Reunite the brothers. What a story.

(Hell, throw in Leadfoot Davis and Twiggy Forbes, for good measure)

All I'm seeing is smoke ever since this dotson deal

SF wanted a 1st and Terry McLaurin for Aiyuk

Turn that deal the f*** down.

 

[Kazer]

Turn that deal the f*** down.

The way I read it, it's a 1st OR Terry (not both). Would still turn it down, but that's a much more reasonable price.

UPDATE: The Washington #Commanders are in fact 100% in on Brandon Aiyuk IF MADE AVAILABLE. The 3rd round pick the Commanders received from the Eagles would be a part of the Aiyuk trade package, plus additional capital. If a deal cannot be made in San Francisco, the Commanders have the edge...

[hotpaws]

they're really putting the cart before the horse if the give the assets needed to get BA , this team is at least 2yrs away and that's only if we hit on most of our draft picks and can get the right pieces needed in free agency to fill holes

we need 2 x OT/CB/DE so while it would be great to add a top end receiver to go with Terry it won't mean shit if JD doesn't have the time or worse he gets killed because our o-line is trash

 

[usiel]

I'm going to ignore all this receiver trade BS it makes NO f'ing sense at this point.

 

[Langway]

Even if OT/CB are trash it makes sense to add another key core offensive weapon to the mix for the sake of additional competitiveness/stability. Ideally you'd hope to get that more on the cheap from their breakout Round 2/3 rookies but if they've got room in their cap planning...Have to think they'll add someone, right? On the waiver wire if nothing else.

Mark Tyler’s Washington Commanders 53-Man Roster Projection

The Washington Commanders final preseason game is on Sunday night against the New England Patriots. Cut-down day is two days later. This has been a fun training camp to monitor as there has been...

www.hogshaven.com

Definitely think there's more fat to trim to make claims at WR/OL/CB. And with second claim positioning it seems inevitable that they'll be active.

 

[g00n]

I like the idea of putting a hot shit rookie QB in a position to succeed wrt weapons. Having really one WR the safeties and LBs can shade doesn't do that. Having 2 top WRs does.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

We only got a 3rd for Chase Young. So those carry some value in the NFL

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I was very against Aiyuk but if they can get him at a reasonable cost they should. More weapons hopefully puts less pressure on the OL since in theory the WRs could get open more quickly, plus the defense would need to focus more resources on coverage forcing them to be a bit more apprehensive in terms of pass rushing. They also couldn’t stack the box and bracket Terry.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I’m on Team Add Weapons….if BA is there to be had for less than a 1st, hard to resist. Would like to see TM with a legit threat opposite him and an elite arm distributing the ball. $30 mil a year bugs me, but he’s in his prime, just turned 26 in March.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Our 1st is prob a top 10 and could be higher if things go wrong. We should never trade that pick.
