Source: One team has offered the Commanders a 2024 3rd-round pick that would turn into a second-rounder if Montez Sweat agrees to a contract extension.
The Falcons are among the teams interested in Sweat, who grew up near Atlanta. Tuesday’s 4 pm deadline should spur activity. https://t.co/3izO43eyAh

Ron Rivera on all questions about possible trades or anything related to it: “Once we’re past Tuesday we’ll probably have some answers to those questions for you.”

After the injuries this week to QBs, the Commanders have just as good of a chance at the 7th seed as any of these other teams. Ron isn’t going to pass that up so don’t expect anyone to get traded. pic.twitter.com/GiENbTFh15

It’s a trips look to get Terry singled up. They liked what they had and trusted Terry to get two yards. It was never going to anyone else, it was never going to be a full field read on 4th and 1. https://t.co/ncW6L6KBt4

Lots of good stuff from Sam Howell yesterday after watching the All-22.

Howell is 5th in passing and 7th in TDs while being sacked 40+ times already and we got mfs still drawing up mocks for Caleb https://t.co/VOil7TckF5

The Commanders ran variations of some of my favorite concepts yesterday…some basic and others more complex, but mostly well-executed. I’ll post the film when I make actual diagrams for the plays they ran. pic.twitter.com/qCP0liqCaL

What’s your assessment of Sam Howell so far as someone who has observed the team this season.
— CommanderChocColumbo (@Mr_ChocColumbo) October 30, 2023
I like him. If he keeps growing in the offense, I think there’s real potential for him to be a Foles-type of QB who can master a system and win as much as the roster allows. Unless they get a high pick and EB isn’t there next year, there’s not much more upside they’ll find in the…

Chase Young’s dad Greg called into @1067theFan to discuss his son’s play.@granthpaulsen asked whether he expected Chase to get traded tomorrow.
Greg: “I don’t care, as long as my son is fine.”
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) October 30, 2023
Since Greg Young brought up double-team rates — I think he said Chase is getting doubled “90 percent” of games — these are the most recent rates (as of Oct. 24) for some edge players, via ESPN: pic.twitter.com/GosRBiIc8m

Howell holds the ball for 5 seconds: “OLine sucks”
Howell gets the ball out in under 2 seconds: “OLine played great!”
I’m sorry offensive lineman, I’ve tried my hardest to help explain the nuance of the position but you’ll now have to make the QB throw the ball as well as block
— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) October 30, 2023
Paul struggled a bit. Little bit lungy, struggled with quickness. Anchor’d vs power a few times, but overall a drop off from Charles at LG. Larsen was perhaps slightly better than Gates’ average level at C. Perhaps handled calls better
Real difference was Howell being efficient https://t.co/0bvs0b2ADL

Will be interesting to see how the O-line plays out the rest of the season. Keep in mind:

I know and respect the rule of giving every draft class time before judging. Around a 3 year mark. But Washington’s 2023 draft class just feels different. Like it’s easy to say give a class time every year when the draft class is actually on the field. But these boys barely…

If the #Giants are picking up the full tab, and I believe they are, for Williams they will wind up paying a total of $17.35M. #Seahawks would be responsible for $657K. Williams should be one of those rare players in line now to play 18 games since Seattle had a bye already
