Washington Commanders Free Agency: CB Michael Davis signed to a 1-year deal

Washington Commanders Free Agency: CB Michael Davis signed to a 1-year deal

Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports New CB Despite having signed Noah Igbinoghene over the weekend, there was still broad acknowledgement that Washington needed more help at cornerback before the draft. It looks like Adam Peters and company agreed. This morning, the team added cornerback Michael Davis from the Chargers. Davis has played for the Chargers for seven seasons, and started 13 games for them last year. Per PFF, #Chargers CB Michael Davis finished the ‘22 season 5th in forced incompletion %, 15th fewest yards allowed, & the 13th lowest passer rtg allowed...

Flight of Fancy: Could Adam Peters and company pull off the draft trade of the century?

Flight of Fancy: Could Adam Peters and company pull off the draft trade of the century?

Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports There’s just a little more than a month until the draft in late April. The Combine is over, pro days are underway, and we’re basically a week into free agency. There’s not much for fans to do other than to speculate, and nearly every front office move is scrutinized to death at this point. The recent trade by the Vikings with the Texans is no exception to that chattering. On Friday, the Vikings acquired pick #23 and #232 (7th round) in exchange for #42 (2nd round), #188 (6th round), and their 2025 second round pick. The...

Film Session: Jayden Daniels NFL draft prospect profile

Photo by Jonathan Bachman/ Pro scouting report of LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels LSU quarterback and reigning Heisman winner Jayden Daniels is a top prospect in the upcoming NFL draft. Daniels's success in 2023 caught many by surprise, but it elevated him into the conversation of being drafted number two or three overall. What to make of Jayden Daniels as a quarterback? Here are my takeaways from Daniels's LSU film. Daniels showed a good ability to play on structure from within the pocket. LSU's offense primarily deployed half-field concepts with effective pre-snap...

Draft Prospects Who Arrive Violently

Photo by Peter Aiken/ A roundup of players who align with Joe Whitt’s defensive philosophy As the initial excitement of the first wave of free agency begins to wane, and Commanders’ fans come to terms with the departure of familiar faces like Kam Curl, Kendall Fuller and Sam Howell, I thought it would be a refreshing change of pace to talk about draft prospects the Commanders might consider taking after their pick. Next week we can get back to the ongoing discussion about which QB to take 2nd overall, or whether it would be better to trade back and pick an offensive...

Washington Commanders Free Agency: CB Noah Igbinoghene signed

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports New CB Washington lost out to 49ers on CB Isaac Yiadom a couple of days ago, and quickly turned their sites on other options at that critical position for the organization. They’ve settled on adding another Cowboy, Noah Igbinoghene, a former first round draft pick selected by the Dolphins in 2020. Igbinoghene has never really lived up to his initial billing, and likely comes to Washington as a depth option. The Commanders are signing CB Noah Igbinoghene, source confirmed (1st by @john_keim).— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala)...
