It's March 29th, you're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. The Washington Commanders been on a free agency tear since March, resigning their own guys and adding 12 outside free agents. General manager Adam Peters swung big, but missed out on top receiver Alec Pierce, who went back to the Colts on a 4-year, 114-million dollar deal. They also bid for Senator Tyler Lindrbaum, who shattered the market with a 3-year, 81-million dollar contract averaging 27-million a year. Two of their deals stood out big time on salary cap analyst Joe Cory's list of the 15 most notable contracts this off-season. Left tackle Laramie Tonswell signed a two-year extension, becoming the first offensive lineman to average 30-million per season he's hit new highs. Before, and like short deals to chase rising markets. Fans and experts are buzzing because Tonswell's main gig is protecting Ricky quarterback Jaden Daniels, and if he keeps dominating, Washington might.
Reset the market again in 2028, when he's 33. Meanwhile, Ed rusher Odafe Oase, 4-year, 96-million dollar packed, made the list too, aiming to fix a pass rush hit hard by Doran's. Armstrong's torn ACL early last season. Oase flashed with 7.5 sacks in 12 games after the charges got him from Baltimore, plus three more in a playoff loss to New England. He's been solid over five years, peaking lately, and the commander's bet he's just getting started, could be a steal if he delivers. That pass rush boost pairs perfectly with their line investment, setting up Daniels for a real shot this fall.
