He’s got the Daniels connection from back in their ASU days together too.
That would be an asinine way to spend cap money early into a rebuild. They aren’t a couple of players from a Super Bowl.
I still can’t believe so many have this mindset after 30 years of losing with it… is it trauma at this point?
No f***ing shortcuts.

They have about $50M this year. If they don't spend it on good young players that they could lock up long term, what should they do with it instead?
No one thinks they are one player away right now. But adding all pro talent to long term deals makes sense when you have the opportunity.
That said, I would not trade for Aiyuk, but if he were a UFA I'd be on that.

Based on the amount of DL free agents we’ve brought in, plus we seem to be looking hard at DL in the draft too, Allen could well be a trade candidate.
Lets flip him to SF for Aiyuk. Then we can keep the precious picks

NFL insider gives strongest hint yet at which QB Commanders will draft — FanSided
Jan 12, 2024 Follow Fansided It's a new era in Washington. After over a half-decade of the Washington Commanders being without a clear franchise quarterback, they finally have a chance to draft one. Armed with the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft, the Commanders will almost certainly select their new...

Adam Schefter gives strongest indication yet at which QB Commanders will draft
"It's safe to order a Jayden Daniels jersey."
It doesn't get much clearer than that, folks.
Schefter doesn't say outright that the Commanders are going to make that pick, but he sure hinted at it.
This is an interesting thing for Schefter to say just days after it was reported that Daniels' visit with the Commanders went poorly. Smoke screens are always prevalent this time of year so it's hard to know who and what to believe, but these reports coming days apart is interesting.

I tried to dig into this rumor about the meeting going poorly. The dudes that tweeted this, did so before JD actually came to DC for the 30 meeting. Evan Silva never tweeted this, or he deleted it. Sounds like a baloney rumor.

A lot of smoke screens going on this time of year and not only by front offices
I keep coming back to the Vikings. They’re built to win now. Trading up for Maye or McCarthy makes little sense. Daniels could not be a better fit. Indoor stadium. Vertical passing game.
Whereas Washington getting a massive package and moving back and taking the Shanahan QB in McCarthy makes a ton of sense for them.
Cosmically, this should be what happens.

Commanders news: Jay Gruden, Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota and Efe Obada — Riggo's Rag
Delving deeper into the latest Commanders news and rumors from around the media. Apr 15, 2024 It's a big week for the Washington Commanders. Those in power will welcome the top three quarterback candidates in contention to be the No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. Jayden Daniels...

The latest to nail their flag to the mast was Jay Gruden. If the former Washington head coach was part of the decision-making process, he'd be banging the table hard for LSU stud Jayden Daniels based on comments via USA Today Sports.
“I like Jayden [Daniels]. Personally, I just think that he has an elite trait, the speed, and I think he’s gotten better as a passer the last five years from Arizona State to LSU.
“Obviously, he had some better players around him at LSU, but his completion percentage has gone up, and I’ve been impressed (with) the way he stays in the pocket and, when he gets to a second or third progression, throws it accurately. He doesn’t have a natural gifted arm, but he has athletic traits that are very good and he does have a strong enough arm to get the ball to the right people. And, I see him do some good things inside the pocket and outside the pocket. The biggest concern you have on him is his ability to stay healthy, because for him to be a special player in the NFL, he’s got to utilize his legs and be able to take some hits.”
Still wouldn’t trust Jay
…
Ugh. Just got major RGMe flashbacks

Meh. That’s misleading. If they are meeting w each guy for 3hrs. Then it means nothing. If Daniels is like 9hrs, well then ok….
Well if any of them want to quit and not compete, let them. Its not like we know the intimate scheduling details here... maybe these were the days the guys were available due to other meetings they had?

It's a bluff! They're projecting JD because they know someone (Vikings?) want him DESPERATELY!
This drives up the cost!
I am very smart!
