That action didn\u2019t get to the Washington Commanders until reports came out that they had agreed to a 2-year extension with LT Laremy Tunsil. The first free agent \u201csigning\u201d from another team was a letdown if you were expecting the promised fireworks from Washington when free agency started. Lions CB Amik Robertson agreed to a 2-year deal, but only provided sparklers for a fanbase looking for top talent to revive a team that went 5-12 last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The fourth hour of legal tampering only gave the fanbase another re-signing, but it was an important one. Backup QB Marcus Mariota is returning for another year, and the crowd went mild. If you were one of the many fans asking for proof that Adam Peters was alive, had access to Josh Harris\u2019s password for the salary cap funds, and was willing\/allowed to spend it; the good news came with the announcement that Chargers DE Odafe Oweh had agreed to terms on a 4-year, $100 million deal. Adam Peters lives! The first day of legal tampering ended with a homecoming. Former Redskins 5th-round pick Tim Settle Jr. agreed to return to Washington on a three-year deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The new league year starts tomorrow at 4pm. Contracts reported for free agents with expiring contracts during the two day legal tampering window won\u2019t be official until the new league year starts. Washington was still signing a few of their pending free agents before they hit the market, and none of their FAs agreed to deals with other teams.<\/p>\n<p>Commanders pending free agents 2026<\/p>\n<p>Commanders News and Rumors:<\/p>\n<p>Hogs Haven Media Information<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL\u2019s legal tampering period started yesterday at noon, and there was plenty of action.
