They’ve also signed an army of free agents, re-signed three and have more moves to make.

Efe Obada says that while in the hospital after his significant leg injury and “at his lowest” point emotionally, heard from Dan Quinn, who he’d met years before. Quinn texted “You’re a warrior. You’ll get through it.”
Obada: “It met the world to me.”
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) March 14, 2024
Efe Obada said the Commanders facility feels different now — “electric” and “new” and “genuine.”
“You guys aren’t even in the building, and you can feel it, right?”

His media company is currently working on another feature-length film to share the true life story of Efe Obada, a Nigerian-born NFL player who overcame human trafficking and homelessness at the age of 10 when he and his sister moved to London https://t.co/IgYu2zbkMp

I’ll be the first to admit my initial take on Dan Quinn was wrong. I didn’t know bro’s gravity was this real. The man is friends with everybody lol

2 games into watching Bobby Wagner. May not be the elite level he once was, but he can definitely still play. Far far better than anything Washington has had at linebacker for the last 4 years that’s for sure.

They really let Dan Quinn get this demon pic.twitter.com/uFFdgmQJVc

The signing of Bobby Wagner by the @Commanders is huge on many levels. For one, he’s a great player (don’t @ me about his age). Secondly, he can show Jamin Davis how to be a solid pro. Finally, Wagner, Davis, and Luvu are now a possible strength as a position group. #NFL

Jeremy Chinn was drafted with pick 64 of round 2 in the 2020 draft class. He scored a 10.00 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 1 out of 1000 FS from 1987 to 2024.
Shown here with all time scores, new #Commanders safety, 1 of 1,000 even.https://t.co/jgFkYllnCm https://t.co/7poyUcG6Wr pic.twitter.com/kcPn6GO9tS

Marcus Mariota said Brian Johnson being in Washington as assistant HC/pass game coordinator factored heavily in his decision to come here. “I think very highly of Brian. … I just want to surround myself with good people.”

You have to be impressed by what Peters and Quinn are doing for the @Commanders. Not over spending for FAs and signing some who now might be reaching their best days. Also, signing leaders in Ekeler and Wagner. Trading Sam for a 3rd. They are doing great in my book #NFL
— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewisJr) March 14, 2024
Some people (very reasonably) pushed back on the idea that Washington’s net gain from the Sam Howell trade was only a 7th rd pick.
So, a quick explanation on NFL draft trade value charts.
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) March 14, 2024
There are five main public charts:
Jimmy Johnson
Harvard
Chase Stuart
Rich Hill
Fitzgerald-SpielbergerEvery modern chart finds that draft value declines more slowly than in the JJ chart, which was devised in 1991 and remains unchanged.https://t.co/JGCh8HDZbL
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) March 14, 2024
How much does Jimmy Johnson undervalue middle-round picks? Depends. Look at the return estimates for Howell by chart:
JJ: 3-95
Rich Hill: 4-111
Chase Stuart: 5-147
Harvard: 7-218
F-S: 7-241— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) March 14, 2024
Of course, all charts have flaws. In their book, @Jason_OTC and @PFF_Brad acknowledged that, even though their sample size is small and curve is flatter than others, the data clearly shows picks in the top 100 are very valuable.

— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) March 14, 2024
So, what’s the Howell trade worth? Probably somewhere between @PP_Rich_Hill and F-S.
