Washington signed vet QB Jeff Driskel, the team announced.
Driskel, 30, was a 6th rd pick by SF in 2016 (before Adam Peters got there). He’s played with seven teams over his career. Started 12 career games. Stats aren’t great.
Peters said he wanted four QBs for camp.

Adam Peters last week said the Commanders would have four QBs in camp. Marcus Mariotta, Jake Fromm, Jeff Driskell and a rookie make four. https://t.co/lnwPWAqgOm pic.twitter.com/y4zm15zZAG

Dear @OmarRashonBorja was Jeff Driskel at LTU ahead of his time in the swag department? That’s a Revo Speed and untucked sleeves in 2015 and he made it WORK https://t.co/gtVmPcqZvv pic.twitter.com/rmj34Em4zj

Commanders add some running back/special teams depth by signing Jeremy McNichols, who most recently played for San Francisco. Another 49ers connection for new Washington GM Adam Peters.

The Washington Commanders signed running back Jeremy McNichols for the 2024 season. Peters, the GM, previously worked with him at the 49ers. McNichols had limited playing time with the Niners but had a more significant role with the Titans. https://t.co/SWolu7uDGs

It’s insane how widely ranging, the Drake Maye takes are. Quite a few guys whose opinions I trust, think he’s got crazy potential, but needs a TON of work. True boom or bust. Then you have fans on here, even some lesser draft community types, who think he’s pro ready. Right now.

Rewatched a bit of the top 4 QBs again this week. Right now I’m feeling 1. Caleb, 2. JJ, 2. Daniels, 4. Maye. Wasn’t gonna say it publicly yet because don’t wanna deal with the backlash, but hopefully replying to you here will hide it a bit

Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. will have a pre-Draft “30” visit with the Commanders.

Iowa TE Erick All.
If the medicals (knee rehab, past back issues) are behind him, he is a starting caliber TE in the league that will be a problem as a route runner, and a very solid, versatile run blocker.
The tape is that good. @HawkeyeFootball

The NFL announced their top 25 performance-based payouts, with former #Ravens G John Simpson leading the way.
Performance-based pay is a system the league has in place for players for players with high snap counts and low salaries.

Good breakdown here.
What I would explicitly say is that it’s always better to trade a player for a guaranteed pick now than to have to play the compensatory pick game later.
This is what the Eagles and Chiefs did w/Haason Reddick and L’Jarius Sneed, for examples. https://t.co/K9pyEYUhiu
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) April 1, 2024
The weird one with Philly is the complaints about the compensation being low. If they let things play out they lose $14.5M or so in cap room, have an unhappy player and, at best, probably get a 4 in 2026. Now they save $14.5, lock in a 3 for 26, and could get a 2. Its a steal
