Two surveys; one question<\/p>\n
Last week, in a survey published on March 10th (the day after the \u201clegal tampering period\u201d started), we asked Hogs Haven readers<\/a> to grade the roster moves to date. They responded with a tentative thumbs up, with over half the respondents assigning a \u201cB\u201d grade to the early free agency moves, but with more people assigning a \u201cC\u201d than an \u201cA\u201d.<\/p>\n We repeated the survey a week later, in an article published on March 17th.<\/p>\n In the newer survey, 93% of respondents gave the Commanders a grade of \u201cA\u201d or \u201cB\u201d, and only 7% gave a grade of \u201cC\u201d or lower, compared to 28% in the initial survey.<\/p>\n Visit our partners at FanDuel<\/a><\/p>\n By the time of the second survey, a great deal more had happened in free agency.<\/p>\n Re-signed\/extended (13 players)<\/p>\n P Tress Way<\/a> – 1 yr, $1.65m cap hitOL Nick Allegretti<\/a> – (one year added @ cost of $1.59m)OL Andrew Wylie<\/a> – 2 yrs, $7.5mDL Deatrich Wise<\/a> – 1 yr, $1.45mDL Shy Tuttle<\/a> – 1 yr, $1.175m cap hitWR Treylon Burks<\/a> – 1 yr, $1.99mEDGE Drake Jackson<\/a> – 1 yr, $1.26mK Jake Moody<\/a> – 1 yr, less than RFA tender price of $3.52mQB Marcus Mariota<\/a> – 1 year, $6.94mLT Laremy Tunsil<\/a> – 2 years ($30.2m) early extensionLT Trent Scott<\/a> – 1 yearLG Chris Paul<\/a> – 1 yearJeremy McNichols<\/a> – 1 year<\/p>\n Free agents signed from other teams (12 players)<\/p>\n EDGE Odafe Oweh<\/a> – 4 yrs, $100mLB Leo Chenal<\/a> – 3 yrs, $24.75mCB Amik Robertson<\/a> – 2 yrs, $16mDT Tim Settle<\/a> – 3 yrs, $24m (2nd stint in Washington)EDGE K\u2019Lavon Chaisson<\/a> – 1 yr, $12mTE Chig Okonkwo<\/a> – 3 yrs, up to $30mS Nick Cross<\/a> – 2 yrs, up to $14mDE Charles Omenihu<\/a> – 1 yr, up to $7mRB Rachaad White<\/a> – 1 yr, $2m + incentives (up to $4m)WR Dyami Brown<\/a> – 1 yr, up to $3m (2nd stint in Washington)WR Van Jefferson<\/a> – 1 yrRB Jerome Ford<\/a> – 1 yr<\/p>\n It seems that fans are much more impressed with free agency now that the first wave (and much of the second) is complete.<\/p>\n There will be plenty more players added between now and training camp. Washington currently has 72 players under contract or agreed to terms. With a camp limit of 91 players, 19 more will be added. Six of those should come from the draft, and the bulk of the remaining 13 are likely to be undrafted college free agents, but don\u2019t be shocked if Washington\u2019s front office adds a veteran wide receiver or another defender between now and the draft.<\/p>\n The free agents and extensions<\/p>\n The approach to the offseason has added 4 players who seem to generate some level of excitement from the fan base, and who seem likely to fill key roles for the team: edge rusher Odafe Oweh, LB Leo Chenal, TE Chig Okonkwo, and safety Nick Cross, who are all seen as ascending players.<\/p>\n In addition, the team seems to be confident that CB Amik Robertson will be an upgrade for a secondary desperately in need of one, while fans seem to be pleased that DT Tim Settle is back on a 3-year deal, and conditionally confident that Rachaad White will fill a key role in the running back room.<\/p>\n There seems to be some cautious optimism about the addition of K\u2019Lavon Chaisson and Charles Omenihu, each of whom is signed for significant dollars, but also for just 1 year.<\/p>\n While the return of Dyami Brown has had mixed reviews and the signings of Van Jefferson & Jerome Ford have been met with shrugs, the sentiment surrounding the extensions of 13 players from the 2025 roster has mostly been positive \u2014 in particular, the early extension of left tackle Laremy Tunsil.<\/p>\n The only sour note seems to be the handling of the center position, with the team releasing 2-year starter Tyler Biadasz days before the start of free agency, and giving a 2-year extension to Nick Allegretti, who seems to be the current default option to replace Biadasz. I doubt the team is completely finished with the center position, but we could easily see a Day 3 draft pick in camp as Allegretti\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n Overall, fans seem to feel that AP has made more good moves than bad, that the defense has a real chance of significant improvement this year under new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones, and that the roster is nearly complete enough to be able to select the best player available for each pick in the draft at the end of April.<\/p>\n You might find this week\u2019s survey results from Arrowhead Pride to be of interest.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/TEMP-REACTS.jpg\"\/)
