SAD NEWS :Washington commander’s announce the sudden resignation of head coach…
Here’s the way an NFL roster works for an elite team — you build a nucleus of 15-20 guys and build around that. Simple as that. Year after year. Outside of that group, everybody else is in a constant state of prove it or lose it.
The Washington Commanders showed they were already trending in that direction by how they constructed their 2024 roster, dumping over half of the roster from 2023’s disastrous, 4-13 campaign before they even began training camp.
And it’s worked. The Commanders are 7-2, in first place in the NFC East Division and off to their best start since 1996. As the Commanders continue to build their nucleus in the years to come — a group centered around rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels no doubt — you can expect more of the same. And with players wanting to come join a team on its way up and with an estimated $104.3 million in estimated cap space in 2025, that could mean some high-profile free agents taking meetings with general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn.
Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox thinks one of those players in 2025 could be longtime Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who is in the final season of a 3-year, $40 million contract extension he signed before the 202s season.
Lawrence, who previously signed a 5-year, $105 million contract extension in April 2019, could be looking for a new home as an unrestricted free agent. Lawrence played 3 seasons for Qunn while he was the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator from 2021 to 2023.
