Commanders Offseason Wish List I BMitch & Finlay

38 comments

1. I wanted to focus on the offensive and defensive lines first and foremost then LB’s (specifically Middle) a bonafide No. 2 WR and a home run RB scat back

2. Thats why the patriots had so much success with Tom Brady because they kept the same staff for years and won 6 superbowls..so when you have a successful staff like Washington is best to keep all of them

3. Finlay, you’re also mentioning 99% of 1st round picks last year. This year doesn’t have that many top flight receivers.

4. I agree we draft a wide receiver. Also the panthers have 2 stud rookies legette and jalen Coker out of holy cross he was balling out towards the middle to end of the year. I know this because hes on my dynasty football team lol

5. I’m not on the Higgins bus. Never have been.

6. Focus on the Defense and OLine…

7. Tons of Cap, Top 5 Rookie Contract QB, HC and Team hype that will get us some breaks in Free Agency, Faith in team that would let us restructure and extend contracts in team-favorable ways to boost more cap so we can capitalize on a SB window, and Brandon Sosna who knows how to structure contracts for supreme cap advantage. Along with the very underrated factor of all the ending contracts opening the door to upgrade those positions without the Dead Cap that usually accompanies swapping in a better player. We will get Super team-friendly deals on retaining Wagner, Ertz, Way, Fowler, Bates, and Dyami.
   Upgrading Noah with Tee Higgins will be a huge hit but well worth it. Laviska Shenault could be like a Discount Deebo over OZ.
   Upgrading LT with Alaric Jackson lets us kick Coleman to RT and recoup a little toward his contract from cutting Wylie.
   DJ Reed wanted to come here at the deadline, so we'll likely get a bit of a deal on him to upgrade Davis/BSJ at CB2.
   If Lattimore isn't open to restructuring to stick around he can be cut to save the Full $18m which would let us pay for Reed and a chunk of Carlton Davis's contract to pair with him, who's a better physical matchup for the likes of AJ Brown.
   Getting NT Poona Ford to reunite with Bobby Wagner would be an Insanely huge upgrade in the run defense department that would be insane value even if we have to pay him TRIPLE what Sheldon Days' getting(would still only be like $3m)
   We could make more big upgrades to the OL on the relative cheap(all probably under $5m a year) by signing Teven Jenkins( who is close to Cosmi level when healthy, but injuries should bring his price down along with escaping the frustration of Chicago) to push Allegretti to a more fitting role as a high-quality depth piece to replace leaving Trent Scott, Mekhi Becton to return home to Va. to replace Lucas in the Swing OT Role, and Robert Hainsey who showed a ton of promise in limited work at Center to replace Dieter so our OL doesn't completely fall apart when Biadasz gets hurt.
   If the NYJs cut Davante Adams as many predict we definitely have the inside track on him because of his Vocal desire to play with JD5 and all the money his previous team will be still paying him set us up to make Davante Adams WR3 on a Vet Min kind of Ring Hunting contract. If we could convince Khalil Mack to do the same and join Poona Ford to come over here to replace Ferrell we can make it a Ring Safari and be Really set after putting an edge Rusher from this deep class across from him with pick 29.

8. Cb first and foremost. Then 2 o lineman. 2 defensive ends and 1 or 2 wide receivers. Then go from there

9. Brian Mitchell is always chomping on bits and bites 😅😅.

10. Adam Peters is great, the draft was great all 8 players in the draft played this year mostly on special teams but they played and it’s a learning experience, it takes time for young player. Peters need to focus on Free agents Edge Rusher, CB, OL, Bring back Wagner, Ertz, Fowler Jr, Lucas both browns, Chin. I Would trade Allen to see what we can get in return Cincinnati Bengals need Def players really bad. I think we need to move St-Juste to safety SMH LOL.

11. Last year we core in the he draft isn't this one

12. Kliff did us a real solid by staying another year. It sets us up Perfectly to replace him with some of the previous crop of "next offensive minds" Kliff's set up to take Johnson, Lynn, Blough, and Raih with him and for DQ to replace them seamlessly with a newly fired Miami offensive staff reuniting with McDaniel at OC, and Bevel at QBC/Passing game Co, along with Studesville, Embree, and Frank Smith. If not them then our pick of OC Brian Daboll, Shane Steichen, Kevin Stefanski, Zac Taylor(that's the Job Kliff wants after all) hell maybe a Daboll OC, Steichen to Passing Game Co, and Taylor as QB coach Stefanski TE coach super staff. Guys will be lining up to rebuild their stock with Jayden at QB.
    Shane Waldron caught a bad rap because Caleb short-circuits within structure, but he worked wonders with Geno.
    Jayden is better with timing and structure than Geno and 10-times the playmaker, he'd shine with Waldron and show Caleb up even more. Hell, a Doug Pederson/Frank Reich Reunion could win with Jayden and what we're gonna add to this offense.

13. Need to get one the receivers from Colorado. Great speed, routes & hands.

14. Good QB on a rookie contract is the most valuable thing in the NFL need to be aggressive in free agency. If Jayden keeps getting better he will be looking at getting 60 mil+ a year in the future. Cant just wait for guys to develop and let that window close.

15. We are picking late in every round of the draft but 3rd? What great receivers are we getting in the draft this year that late? Also our drafted receivers this year did nothing. Luke and Sinnot did absolutely nothing this year. You can’t have money and say oh let’s just draft a rookie and depend on him when we had veterans we couldn’t depend on this year.

16. Why sign Tee Higgins for 30+mil, when you can get Chase Claypool for 1-3mil and get better on the Oline and DLine??? Claypool is 25/26 years old and better measurables then Higgins, I know his stats in the pros so far, but, with Kliff and this coaching staff I trust in getting Claypool to reach his full potential!!!! There are a lot of great players available Rodarius and Greedy Williams, Chase Claypool, Matt Henningsen, Zack VanValkenberg, Tanner Muse, Isaiah Simmons are all undervalued and under appreciated, still very young and exceptionally talented players that not only address our needs now but, for the long run!!!!
    Trade for Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs and sign Stefon and our offseason is a SMASHING SUCCESS!!! And we still have 50mil to roll with into the year and maybe roll into next season with…. This offseason sets up the next decade of this team, smart trades, great picks and signings and we are contending every year for the next 10yrs!!!! JMTC, Awesome show guys, thank you for your great analysis and positivity week after week.

17. Question tell who left the chiefs beside EB

18. I don't want Higgins, get a receiver in the draft. He stays hurt

19. What Diyami said was FAR from the same thing! He chuckled and said “I have no problem coming back but…”. Very non-committal. I hope DB comes back but Ertz sounded like he wants to come back, Diyami was much more meh about it.

20. We only have 34 rostered players in 2025, which is extremely low (thanks for all of the trash picks Rivera). Point is, that $87m won’t stretch too far for studs with that many players needed.

21. I’m more focused on the other side of the ball. They need to clear cap space to sign Myles Garrett like yesterday!

22. They will draft talent first then fill holes in FA which is the best way to go.

23. Tee is a must for the right price. This offseason is gonna be great.

24. Yes get Tee Higgins and a elite pass rusher

25. The one thing JP is wrong about is all them rookie wr’s he named that got drafted last draft we’re all big (ish) names. There’s one maybe 2 big names wr’s coming this upcoming draft. I think the more important thing is to hit a 2-4th round RB like Kyren Williams or Achane.

26. If not Higgins I love the WR14 from Denver as #2 w/Terry

27. How many full seasons has t Higgins played

28. Once upon a time it was “In Ron we trust”. That didn’t go so well, but I think Peters and the personnel dept have definitely earned my trust. So whatever they want to do is fine with me.

29. If you watched this team this year compete because of the team meshing despite a lack of starpower, you should be ok when we don't sign the most expensive player at every position of need.

30. Offensive defensive line edge rushers on the d-line and definitely the offensive line couple of spots that we need to address httr always and forever

31. Don't care about a full page ad to fans get us our name and Logo back! Quit fooling around and fix the last wrong by Dan Snyder* turn the page and start addressing the real issue*

32. Wagner don’t need to be back maybe as a coach he can’t run sideline to sideline

33. The Eagles beat us in the trenches. OL and D Front 7 is where we need the biggest impovements from.

34. I can understand people saying tee would be too expensive but he would be worth it since you don’t need to spend draft capital. His high point catch ability would be a serious weapon for Jayden. Spend rest of cap money and draft on oline/defense. I really hope they can find a good rb in late rounds as well.

35. I would Trade Down From 29th in the 1st Rd Target 2 DTs , Rylie Mills 6'5 Notre Dame AKA Dave Butz , & DT Deone Walker 6'7 Kentucky , Switch to a 3-4 vs Eagles , put a LB/S , Linebacker/Safety on both RB Saquan Barkley also QB Jalen Hurts for the rematches in 2025 !!!!!

36. We need to Address Trenches in FA and speed and Flash in Draft

37. Realistically we get one MAYBE two guys on a nice contract… rest is draft imo

38. We need to draft O lineman. Get another Jon Jansen or Trent Williams. A career lineman.
