00:00The Washington Commanders, what a season 2024 was with a first

00:04year head coach in Landover in Dan Quinn, Cliff Kingsbury back

00:08in the NFL, and the second overall pick a rookie signal

00:12caller in Jaden Daniels that by about week five, already started

00:16having his name engraved on the offensive Rookie of the Year

00:20Award, a historic rookie season for Jaden Daniels and regular

00:24season performances. But of course, in the postseason, even

00:28more leading the commanders to the first NFC championship game

00:32appearance since 1991. In more than three decades, a 12 and

00:38five season for Washington, a 23 to one price for the

00:42commanders entering 2025, the 29th overall pick, because they

00:48played in that conference title game in the NFC $75 million of

00:52cap space, that's got to be up there with the best of them

00:56around the NFL. So big question number one DRS for a team that

01:00brings everybody back or a lot of the key figures at least Dan

01:03Quinn in a year to Cliff Kingsbury is back as the OC and

01:08Jaden Daniels. Where should the commanders spend in free agency

01:13to bolster up the roster?

01:15Yeah, you need cornerbacks, obviously. But again, the hard

01:18part about this is teams have played it correctly. Like

01:21Washington has their quarterback on a cheap salary for the next

01:24couple years. And it looks like he's gonna be a wonderful

01:26quarterback all the way through his career. So you do see that

01:28cap number 75 million. But it's like, hey, let's spend the wide

01:31outs. Well, let's just say T Higgins never makes it out of

01:34Cincinnati. Who are you spending this money on here? And you say,

01:37hey, great cornerbacks. Who are you spending this money on here?

01:41Because there's not great cornerbacks out here. It's

01:43almost like you have to build more for the draft and maybe

01:45make a trade or two, which they could do. But if we're just

01:48using it as an overall layout, yes, I need a true number two

01:52slash number one to go with Terry McLaurin. You give that to

01:55me with Jaden Daniels, that offense is going to cook. If you

01:58can stay healthy at the running back position, which Austin

02:00Echler is getting up there and age a little bit damage goods a

02:03little bit, you see the injury, see the concussions, they do

02:05have a solid running game behind them. Zach Gertz was a great

02:08tight end last year, but he's not a spring chicken at this

02:11point anymore. So some of those minor upgrades here were maybe

02:14the best offseason acquisitions, just letting Jaden Daniels

02:17actually even be a better quarterback. But I do think you

02:20need the minimal upgrades, a couple cornerbacks to go along

02:22with it, find a true number two wide receiver. That's probably

02:26the best of the bunch. But again, just because you have

02:28money to spend doesn't mean you're going to spend it

02:30correctly. And also, are you just going to blow it on a guy

02:32that he's not even worth that much money, but it's a free

02:34agent market with not a lot of wide receivers. I got to

02:36overspend. I don't want to see Washington do that because the

02:39game plan is bringing the head coach, bringing the general

02:41manager, bringing the front office, which they did to blow

02:44out everything we saw from the Washington franchise over the

02:46past 25 years. They are way ahead of the game already.
