NFL Free Agency: Commanders' Busy Offseason

0:00On March 9th, NFL free agency negotiations kick off Monday at noon Eastern time when players can start talking deals with new teams. Nothing gets signed until the league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. Eastern. All eyes are on the Washington commanders who look set for their busiest offseason yet, under General Manager Adam Peters. Reports say the Eagles are pushing hard to keep Edge-Rusher Jalen Phillips, but the commanders have him high on their list. Dallas is also chasing past rushes like Phillips, Odoffe O.A., and Boy A Mafe, putting those teams in direct competition. Wide receivers are drawing big interest, too. The Colts are working to retain Alec Pierce before he hits the market, while Washington, Las Vegas, and Tennessee wait to jump in. Green Bay's Romeo Doves has multiple suitors, making him a tough get for the commanders. Running backs can shake things up as well. Teams like the commanders, giants, and Titans plan to chase Seattle's Kenneth Walker, last year's Super Bowl MVP.

1:02Don't count out Denver, or Kansas City grabbing Walker, or Jacksonville's Travis Etienne. Carolina's Rico Dowdell is another name on Washington's radar. With so many targets across the board, expect the commanders to make waves this week, even if they don't splash cash everywhere.
