Sam Cosmi, speaking for all us, on keeping up with the Commanders’ roster overhaul: “Free agency has been ridiculous.”
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) April 3, 2024
Sam Cosmi is up at the mic. Said the first two days are focused on getting to know all the new faces and getting to know each other. The vibe in the building is very positive and uplifting

Tress Way said in their meeting today Dan Quinn had the returning players stand up, then find a different seat to get to know the new guys. “I just love that mindset,” Way said.

Commanders DT Daron Payne is looking forward to this new era of Washington football.
He told me, “it’s like a new feeling. I really got this feeling when I was a freshman at Alabama and I got it again when I was a rookie coming here. It feels like the same type of energy.” pic.twitter.com/xzfkmS96By

Tress Way is the most optimistic guy you will find in an NFL locker room.
He is so fired up for this new season with new head coach Dan Quinn.
I asked Tress about the new personality’s in the locker room and his interactions with Quinn.

Way: “I see him walk into the building, I’m like, that’s fricking Bobby Wagner. And he’s just approachable, smiling, humble, excited to be here. Same with Zach. Zach sits down first day he and I just had some breakfast together… it is just so cool to see these guys.”

Terry McLaurin said he started training after the Super Bowl and is already in football shape.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) April 3, 2024
There’s “definitely” an adjustment to learning a new offense, McLaurin said. Schemes are relatively similar in the NFL, but the difference comes with the names and formations. He hasn’t learned anything yet, but he’ll have some time to dive into the offenses soon
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 3, 2024
Cosmi said he can tell Dan Quinn wants to do things the right way and build a special culture. “It’s gonna be huge for the team.”
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 3, 2024
Commanders G Sam Cosmi on the team’s rebuild: “It’s like you went to a new team. It’s definitely a breath of fresh air.”

NFL analyst Adam Rank says that the #Commanders should trade the second overall pick instead of selecting a QB
“It’s better off to build a team and build a squad and approach it that way…”
Rank believes a trade with the #Vikings makes sense.

We’ve agreed to terms on a trade that will send WR Stefon Diggs to Houston for a 2025 second round draft pick.

The Texans are the 1st team in NFL history to add a player coming off a season with 100+ catches (Stefon Diggs), 1,000+ rush yards (Joe Mixon) and 10+ sacks (Danielle Hunter) in the same offseason

Whatever you think of the Texans trading for Stefon Diggs, the lesson here for the Commanders is clear:
When you nail the No. 2 pick and have a stud QB on a rookie deal you are able to ‘go for it.’ That’s what the Texans have done all offseason. Could be Washington next year.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) April 3, 2024
The #Bills will carry about $31.1 million in dead money for Diggs. Pretty much a disaster extension for them. Wound up paying an extra $20.9M in 2022 and 2023 to come away with a net of less than a 2nd rounder next year.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) April 3, 2024
The Bills are taking on a $31M dead cap hit to trade Stefon Diggs.
Think about that. They’re in ‘SB or bust’ mode and one of the top teams in the conference and they’re trading their WR1 despite taking on a $31M cap hit to do it. They reeeeally wanted out of the Diggs business.
