UPDATED: Washington Commanders Free Agency MOCK Targets $85M, Jayden Daniels, Laremy Tunsil

Our second mock off season, we get a little bit more active than the last

leaving no stone on current as we try to get the commanders back to the post

season in 2026 you are locked on commanders your daily podcast on the Washington

commanders part of the locked on podcast network your team every day this is

locked on commanders part of the locked on podcast network the number one sports

podcast networking I'm David Harrison your guy on the ground credential

member of the media covering the Washington commanders for W USA 9 also writing

for commanders on SI here with you five days a week and coming up on today's

episode it is our second and our final mock off season of the 2026 off season

because free agency right around the corner less than a week away so we're

gonna take one final stab I would love to tell you this is exactly what's

going to happen but that's just not possible because I don't have a crystal

ball and even if I did it's not legit so it's not gonna be something I can do

for you but it's just an idea of kind of how I may be think the wash commanders

might try to attack this thing leaning on some intel from the NFL scouting

combine things like that all that coming up on today's episode of locked on

commanders part of the locked on podcast network your team every day and it's all

brought to you by Fandall Fandall is giving you a way to turn your energy

and it even bigger potential wins with college basketball parlay profit

boost head to fandall.com to get started so come out of NFL scouting

combine week was over the weekend last week and into the weekend of course we

now have the open negotiating period opening up on Monday for the NFL

that's when all the deals are gonna start getting agreed to they can be

finalized on March 11th but barring anything kind of wonky which hasn't never

happened but doesn't usually happen the deals you hear about agreed upon on the

ninth-tenth and even in the eleventh will be signed as early as the eleventh

not necessarily on the eleventh but can be signed starting on the eleventh

Tyler Beatish his official release or his release was made official by the

wash commanders that move processed by the National Football League on Tuesday

the March on ladder more move has not been processed yet but no hitches no

hiccups on that as of right now still gonna come off the books still gonna

come off the books were told 18.5 million dollars that number could get

adjusted later on down the road we're not really gonna get into that here on

this episode but as we jump into this full mock off season so if you're part of

mock draft Monday yesterday we did kind of a wonky kind of a weird I kind of

manipulated the timeline a little bit mock off season but this is a full blow

mock off season where to start with our starting roster I'm gonna take you

through free agency I'm gonna take you through the NFL draft and then we're

gonna come back and I'm gonna let you tell me all the places that I messed up all

the places that maybe I nailed it as well and when we look at the current state

of the wash commanders 2026 NFL roster you got your number one receiver in

Terry McClore and obviously have your starting quarterback in Jaden Daniels no

veteran backup quarterback Marcus Mario to not currently on a contract

Jeff Driscoll Josh Johnson et cetera Sam Hartman your number three-quarter

back I'm not gonna pencil him in at number two if you want to that's fine but

for this purpose we're gonna keep him at number three on the offensive line

you got Laramie Tunsell he's still he's under contract for 2026 the extension

hopefully coming soon or rather than later but make no mistake about he is

under contract for 2026 so he is your starting left tackle no left guard as of

right now Chris Paul depending for agents more and more I'm getting the vibe

that he's going to hit the open market and he's probably going to price

himself out of returning to the Washington commanders though big fan of the

dude would love to see him back center obviously is vacant because of the

release Tyler Biotis right guard is Sam Cosmier right tackle Josh Connelly

Jr. looking at some depth here obviously Brandon Coleman I feel like he's

proven to be better at left tackle than left guard so right now I've got him

penciled in as your backup left tackle behind Laramie Tunsell you got some

other depth Nick Allegretti agreeing to a new two-year deal has not

officially signed that deal yet but talking to Andrew Wiley who did

officially sign his contract on Tuesday we had a press conference with him

shared that on the channel if you haven't caught that press conference yet you

can do so on audio or on YouTube wherever you choose to do so he kind of made

a comment about being happy for Nick Allegretti being able to play the

position he wants to play the most which tells me potentially Nick Allegretti

coming back for those two years to be a backup center or maybe compete for

the starting center job who knows but for right now we've gotten Nick

penciled in as the number two center Angie Wiley is the number two right

tackle though you know he's got guard tackle versatility as well beyond that

you've got guys like Tim McKay Tyler Cooper young guys on futures contracts at

the Washington commanders are looking for his additional depth as well some

receiver depth you've got Nick Nash to Cory Brooks to Kobe Jones on futures

contracts Luke McCaffrey and Jay Lynn Lane who can both play a little bit

outside by the both of them also operate out of the slot really really well so

that's where I've gotten them kind of penciled in but again with receivers

especially these position groups like just don't get too bogged down into

where they're assigned to line up or whatever these guys are going to line up

all over the place tight ends John Bates Benson at Colson Yankoff Lawrence

Cager is on a futures contract and then to Cory Croskey Mara is your only

running back under contract right now trust ways your punter Tyler

Rochester long snapper no kicker to speak of on the roster right now

flipping to the defensive side of things start with the interior defense of

wine Javon Kinlaw Doran pain pencil didn't just started Johnny Newton is

going to be penciled in as a depth defense attack a Ricky Barber is returning

on a futures contract as well Javon Kinlaw is interesting because Dan Quinn in

our conversation last week in Indianapolis mentioned him as a big end I have

not officially moved him there on my personal depth chart if you want to

fantastic before this exercise just so you know where we're coming from

Javon Kinlaw still list as an interior defensive lineman and that's going to

have an impact here Doran's Armstrong Javonte Jean Baptiste two year

defense events you're two most established defense events you got TJ McGurran

Younga returning on a futures contract Andre Carter the second which is

interesting prospect came out of army ended up undrafted he was really kind of

an enticing prospect ended up with a Minnesota Vikings there's some

experience there he's on a futures contract as well so I'm leaving that

starting that opposite starting edge position opposite Doran's Armstrong open

as a vacant spot for right now cornerbacks Trey Amos has one of the outside

positions Mikey Sainter still has the slot position and I've got the other

off outside position open because of the March on ladder more move you also

got guys like Carl and vigors Trey Hawkins Quantra's Knight Darius Rush on

futures contracts there linebacker no off-ball linebacker no Mike

linebacker starter penciled in here I'm not pushing Jordan McGee to the top

until I see the commanders do it themselves so right now Jordan McGee is your

number two Mike Ali Kaho behind him Nick Bolor we all know this he's he's a

special teams guy but he's officially on the roster linebacker so I saw him

in there behind Kaho and McGee Frankie Luvu is your outside lineback just

call him your move linebacker I don't know Frankie Luvu is your guy there

Kane Modrano kind of a safety linebacker Hydra but I'm a slot him in here

behind Frankie Luvu DJ Johnson on a futures contract there as well free safety

Juan Martin Jeremy Reeves are your two there Will Harris Percy Butler

Tyler Owens holding down the strong safety position with Rob McDaniel an

undrafted for agent from last year holding down a futures contract for the

Washington commanders there so that is what the initial starting or initial

depth chart looks like as of right now as of Tuesday night that's what the

Washington commanders look like for 2026 I think they're gonna tender Chris

Rodriguez Jr so throw him in there as well but overall right now the Washington

commanders over eighty five million dollars in projected salary cap space

second most in the NFL and I don't think this is an offseason where Adam

Peters is just going to be single we've seen him make a lot of moves to free up

some cap space March on a lot of more not just a cap move but all that cap

money obviously is in a help Tyler be honest I don't think it was just a cap

move but some of that cap money is obviously going to help getting Andrew

Wiley in on a good veteran deal doesn't burn a lot of cap room brings a lot

of experience in the Nick Allegretti by reworking his deal you're going to

go you're going to go through and clear some money as well and then of course

the Laramie tonsil extension when that comes through you're talking about

pushing the Washington commanders cap space to close to one hundred million

dollars so they got a lot of room and we're going to put that room to use

heading into free agency cool stuff there moving on into our second phase

of this mock off season here on Lockdown Commanders this is where we get

fun but we don't want to get too cute right we're not just going to assign

every single top shelf free agent in the National Football League for agency

pool we are going to sign some top shelf guys don't get me wrong here guys the

washman is very attractive organization don't get anything

confused there Dan Quinn still a very attractive head coach and obviously

money talks a whole lot too so for David blouse offense we're looking at like a

Ben Johnson style of offense right not going to be a carbon copy but certainly

going to be similar there which is interesting because if Tyler be honest was

removed or was released at all for fit purposes

he visited the Chicago Bears on Tuesday so Ben Johnson bringing in the

center that the washman is just cut to potentially fit in his style so

like I said not the exact same style certainly

either the holder types of drawn to Jones super multiple super aggressive

type of defense you're going to want guys to do that so as we go through

free agency here's what we end up coming up with first big move

that we're going to make for the Washington commanders is actually on the

defensive side of the ball targeting off ball linebacker middle linebacker

Devon Lloyd we're doing all these deals at market value and let's

understand that some of the market value numbers are not going to be met some

of them we're going to be a little bit higher some of them might actually even be

a little bit lower sometimes we get surprised by that too we're keeping it

market value I'm not getting too deep in the weeds in this thing the good news is

as you'll see at the end plenty of cash space still left over so if some of

these deals end up being over market value we can still absorb those hits

from this exercise standpoint we're not finishing this thing with like two

million dollars left in the bank so if Devon Lloyd's deal comes in five

million dollars over the market value projection

you know then this whole thing is bust that's not going to happen here so

Devon Lloyd comes in from Jacksonville Jaguars young off ball linebacker he's

had the experience setting defenses he's got the playmaking ability he's at

the left to right mobility that I think you really want

and you put him in there you love the athleticism Jordan McGee has but this

team is going to have the opportunity to use multiple guys remember defenses

are not just 11 dudes defenses are 16 17 sometimes 18 different guys

being used in different ways rotating in rotating out but Devon Lloyd's

going to come in here kind of be that new crown jewel of the DeRonte Jones

defense right off the top of the whole thing now moving over to the offensive side

of things we got to address those offensive line holes and we're going to do

that with a center and a guard not top shelf center we're not going we're not

going Tyler Linderbaum here over 25 million dollars a year expected all that

kind of stuff but we are going to go Conor McGovern and Conor McGovern

that center coming over from the Buffalo Bills very familiar face and name for

Dan Quinn Conor McGovern Dan Quinn we're in Dallas at the same time Conor McGovern

played guard there why because Tyler Björnish was the starting center now Conor McGovern

ends up leading Dallas to go to Buffalo and I can't tell you it's the sole reason

obviously if this signing actually happens we'll get the opportunity to ask him

but I can't tell you at least part of the reason is that he always felt like

center was kind of his more natural position Nick Allegretti happens to

agree and so he got the opportunity to move to center with Buffalo made that move

he's now a free agent again the Buffalo Bills are in salary cap hell

so not a lot of people expecting them to be able to bring him back so he should

be available again the familiarity there Dan Quinn all that stuff Conor McGovern

Pro Bowl caliber center bring him in there in front of

Jayden Daniels to make that whole thing work then

sticking in Buffalo let's just bring his teammate over to David Edward starting

left guard for the Buffalo Bills bring him on over along with Conor McGovern

and really secure that inside of your offensive line now you got Conor McGovern

David Edward Sam Cosme as your guard combo guard duo in center

Laramie Thompson playing opposite side of there Josh Conorley Jr is your I guess

your most wild wild card right but looking at the way he was able to develop

towards the end of his rookie season pretty solid offensive line there

for the Washington commanders shaping up let's go back to the defensive side of the ball

Odife O.A edge rusher coming over from the Los Angeles Chargers former Baltimore Raven

you bring him in there to line up opposite of Doran Armstrong line up

opposite of Javante Jean Baptiste both those guys coming off of injury Odife O.A

and things going to fit in a highly aggressive defensive scheme like what

Doran T Jones is going to bring and he's not going to break the bank he's

going to be one of the more expensive adressors out there don't be wrong

but he's not going to break the bank you might notice no trade Hendrickson on

there we'll talk more about that in the next episode of Locked On Commanders

we're going to go over the franchise tag transition tag results

who did get tagged who didn't get tagged and i'll tell you why

i don't have trade Hendrickson on my free agent mock offseason free agency bore

even though he was not franchise tagged by the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday

moving outside to the cornerback position Jamel Dean veteran cornerback from the Tampa Bay

Buccaneers listen i'm not telling you the Jamel Dean is like the most lockdown corner in the

national football league you're also not going to pay Jamel Dean lock down cornerback money

for the national football you're going to pay him about six million dollars less than what

Marshawn Latimore was set to get and for remember when Marshawn got that deal that the

commander's are releasing him from he was one of the best for cornerbacks rather in the national

football league so Jamel Dean very solid he likes to play aggressive is at his best in press which

is what we think Dorontay Jones is going to do so it makes a lot of sense for Jamel it makes a lot

of sense for the commanders as well gives you it raises the floor right raises the floor of your

secondary what give you the opportunity if you need to to develop talent behind him as well as

get back over the office aside things Brandon I you coming in from the San Francisco 49ers has

not been released yet so this one's a little bit of manipulating the time space continuum and all

those things but there's there's no reason to think the 49ers are going to change their mind no

reason to break right now you guys going to change his mind so it's going to happen the question

really is when is it going to happen but all indications do point to San Francisco 49ers making

brain in IUK a post June 1st cuts at the beginning of the newly year that means that will come March 11

so this will be a March 9th move this would be a March 11th move and really we'll be able to talk

pretty early if I'm right or wrong here if we hear about the commanders being in on some of these

other receivers out there like Alec Pierce who was not franchise tech on Tuesday more about him

on the next episode locked on commanders then you kind of get you know read between the lines a

little bit right like Brandon you could probably comment if they go heavy after Alec Pierce and bring

him in then obviously the brain IUK thing a little bit less likely anyway I wouldn't say it's

guaranteed not to happen if they bring in another guy but certainly less likely to happen right

they go after a guy a guy like Alec Pierce but already I think that contracts high end like high

high end is like $12 million but all of it if not or most of it if not all of it is going to be

non guaranteed money Z receiver type to play opposite term and corn again I want to move

term and corn in the slot however for these purposes because we have no verification or

indication that's actually happening outside of my own podcast pipe dreams we're going to leave

him out there as the X Brandon IU comes in as your Z Luke McCaffrey has your power slots you

got a pretty decent receiver group going on there we're also gonna go back to the end but we brought

in Jamel Dean we're gonna bring in Rashad White and yes we're gonna reconnect the three sun devils

Brandon IUK Jaden Daniels Rashad White all sun devils at the same time at one point in their

respective collegiate careers Rashad made no secret about wanting to come to Washington

as soon as the off season hits he comes in he's got that three down back ability he can run

between the tackles he can catch he can block he can do a little bit of everything it gives you

a guy to rely on while also helping you continue to develop Chkory Krasky Merit bringing Chris

Rodriguez Jr see where he goes this off season after he's been working out and doing his thing

I think it's a pretty good start to a stable running back room Breeze Hall I know he was a lot

of people's favorites he has been franchise tag and I know Travis ETN K9 Kenneth Kenneth Walker

wow Kenneth Walker has not been franchise tag and I know some of you are gonna be like go get Kenneth

Walker not a third down back guys Seattle doesn't use them on third downs for a reason I don't think

the commanders are necessarily looking for another back they can't use on third downs so Rashad White

for me is the guy if it's not Rashad White Travis ETN certainly makes a lot of sense as well but just

reading the tea leaves and of course how much the quarterback probably wants them and we've heard

Adam Peters and Dan Quintau about right everything is done with Jayden Daniels in mind so Jayden

wants for shot Jayden wants Brandon probably gonna happen we're gonna bring Jake Moody back for

this scenario here filling that kicker spot obviously you can look at another kicker you know I wouldn't

mind the bringing like three kickers just bring dudes in make this a legit competition man I'm

sick and seeing like one kicker just ride through training camp with the job no I want this thing

to be stressful every single stinking day and figure out who the best man is but for this purpose

we're in a slot Jake Moody in there for right now did not go after Tyden you might notice that

kind of stand out did not go out of Tyden we thought about going after Isaiah likely likely I have

some misgivings about Isaiah likely about whether or not he's a true why Tyden like if I needed to

rely on him as a starting number one Tyden who can block and catch I just don't know that Isaiah

likely's gonna hold up David and joke you just a little too old for my liking a little too injured

recently for my liking as well so I decide not to go the why Tyden route in free agency and after

all these moves that we just made the wash the commands are left with an estimated 51 million

dollars in effective cap space yeah effective caps 51 million dollars ineffective cap space not

accounting for the draft class to come speaking of that draft class we did make a move at the top

at number seven things get a little bit crazy we decided to get a little bit crazy last time we

did a mock offseason I traded with the New York Jets and I did not like the way the board fell so I

came into this one said you know what I'll listen to trade offers but I'm not going outside pick number

15 Ruben Bain Jr. David Bailey Carnell take among others Jeremiah love off the board by the time

number seven came so I looked at the prospects I looked at the telephone the Kansas City Chiefs came

calling and I executed a trade at the top of my mock draft for this mock offseason moving back

from number seven to number nine picking up number 74 in the third rounds we move back two spots

then we pick up a third round pick I think it's pretty good deal it fits the rich hill chart for draft

pick value numbers as well the Kansas City Chiefs move up they get an offensive tackle which we're

not drafting anyway now sunny styles did come off the board at number eights but I was still pretty

happy with the guy I got at number nine that and the rest of the draft class coming up next on

this episode of Lockdown Commanders part of the Lockdown podcast network your team every day

and today's episode is also brought to you in part by Fandall college basketball is non-stop

parlay your style now with more upside behind it head to fandall.com to get started as fandall.com

fandall play your

wrapping up our second and final mock off season of the year we have made some moves we've made

some impact here and in the NFL draft I have traded out of number seven with the candidacy

chief moving back to number nine so we're still in the top ten moving back two spots

sunny styles comes off the board an offensive tab comes off the board that I wasn't going to

draft anyway at number seven sunny styles number eight to the noranland saints but at number nine

we do get a guide that I think we're going to like here in Washington as we get to cover him and

watch him and you get to cheer for him and I get to tell him how good or bad he's doing at his

job and that is Ohio State linebacker or vel Reese we talked about the jack linebacker position

if you're an everydayer you might remember that conversation jack linebacker position is something

that the Brian Flores and so therefore we believe the Doronte Jones defense is going to feature

it's a linebacker then play the off ball play coverage do those types of things but can also be

an edge rusher when you need him to be our vel Reese is that kind of a guy he's kind of like

Frankie Louvoo if Frankie Louvoo was a first round pick but Frankie Louvoo is 29 years old

I hope you turn in 30 in September it's his contract year and while in the initial phases he might

be kind of looked at like a little bit of a backup behind Devon Lloyd Frankie Louvoo I think

really what you're looking at is you give Doronte Jones three linebackers that he can really use

in a whole lot of different ways you can put all these eyes on the field at the same time you can

rotate them in rotate them out keep them fresh and just keep coming after the quarterback and if

and when you decide to move on from Frankie Louvoo in 2027 you have a guy there and then you have the

potential duo of Devon Lloyd and our vel Reese for a long long time if you want them in the second

round second round in the second round we did nothing but in the third round pick number 71 the

one that the washman has already owned we did go back to the defense side of the ball we want

a cornerback dailin Everett interestingly enough last mock draft Monday actually had a Georgia

fan come through the YouTube comments and say if they would not take dailin Everett I asked why I

had not seen a response yet but from everything I'm seeing nice stout perimeter defender doesn't have

the greatest recovery speed that is the question but you're looking at him coming in as a developmental

guy because you have Jamel Dean you have Trey Amos of dailin Everett not coming in the last mock

draft he was coming and penciled in as a starter that made me a little bit nervous maybe that's

where the comment was coming from either way dailin Everett in this version he comes in as a backup

coming as then a depth third down or third string or third round wow type of guy and you have

that potential there that upside there you teach him how to play a little bit more savvy so that

that lack of recovery speed doesn't burn him when he does get on the field 74th overall pick three

picks later the one we got from the can see chiefs we're going interior offensive line here with

Conor Lou the guard center combo capable Auburn Tiger we're going to slide him in here as the

third center behind Nick Allegretti but by the time camp is over and everything else he could be the

second left guard behind David Edwards or something like that who knows but Conor Conor Lou

very technical good anchor all these things I think you you add him to the group of Brandon Coleman

Andrew Wiley Nick Allegretti and now Conor Lou that's a really good base for your backups if Tim

McKay is a guy that we know the watch planner is really liked last year come out of the draft he

was injured through the draft process so this is kind of he kind of like a red shirt season so this

kind of is if he develops then when you end up with is a three man you know depth group of Brandon

Coleman Conor Lou Tim McKay lose got the guard center combo thing going for him Coleman's got the

guard tackle thing going for him obviously you're going to want to build more to that in 2027 but

you also have Andrew Wiley Nick Allegretti under contract in the next two years so unless they fall

off a cliff you have a really good five man depth rotation for the office of line right there in

your locker room at pick number four our fourth pick in the fifth round getting all twisted up with

these rounds and numbers fourth pick this one comes in the fifth round 146 overall Eli Raridan

Tyden at a Notre Dame joining our Tyden room six seven two hundred and fifty pound he's got

why Tyden all over he's got why Tyden written all over him I saw him in here as the third Tyden

we're not coming in here thinking a fifth round pick is going to take over the starting job

but John Bates Ben Senate I I slot Eli Raridan in front of Colson Yank off as a tight end special

teams will see how that plays in and things as well but we go to Tyden there and address the group

there sixth round our fifth pick Ephesians Priceock cornerback at a Washington six four boundary corner

obviously he's got some project to him because he's a six-rounder but you're starting off with the

frame the length all the things that you really like in a developmental corner speaking of developmental

guys Colby Young White receiver at a Georgia six three two hundred fifteen pounds has the

build of an extra receiver going after him to try to develop him into a future above the

rim playmaker you don't need him right away you got Terry you got Brandon hopefully Brandon's

healthy again obviously that is going to be a big part of this but you got Luke Jalen coming

back wouldn't hate necessarily seeing maybe another free agent there in the mix as well and then

with our final pick of this mock draft coming in the seventh round we go Lorenzo styles junior

safety out of Ohio State he's a hybrid athlete former wide receiver could potentially turn into a

future center fielder type of coverage safety for you he's got gunner experience because you play

a special teams do all those things for you and kind of help improve your safety group so after

that mock draft after that mock free agency we're looking at given the wash commanders about 33.026

million dollars in functional cap space and the only vacancy we have left is backup quarter back

I didn't go I didn't get a backup quarterback I don't know what it's like I didn't do it maybe

Marcus comes back maybe it's Josh Johnson maybe it's chef Driscoll maybe it's somebody else

altogether as long as it's not Tyler Murray Aaron Rogers or two I'm talking about Loha I can

probably be fairly happy with whatever happens but the wash commanders 62 at a 90 roster spots filled

after this mock off season typically teams add anywhere from like a dozen to 15 undrafted

free agents that takes you up to about 75 to 77 it's really about 13 other kind of guys like maybe

Jacob Martin comes back you need a backup quarterback so that brings somebody in and then you have

other like maybe that's where you go receiver and get a veteran receiver to come in maybe it's

trailing birds who knows but you got 33 million dollars to do it and I think that when you look at

it not a lot of holes here I mean the receiver position again Brenna yukes health is a big

question there lute McCaffrey they seem to have a lot of confidence in Jaylen Lane I think

did more it's not the best receiver group in the NFL but certainly a solid unit offensive line

I mean by the end of the season this offensive line if Josh Connolly takes a step and Sam

Cosming is a healthy you could see this offensive line being called at least one of the best

in the national football league obviously Jayden's back tight end room didn't go heavy here

was I know some of you are probably going to be a little disappointed in but again with the 33

million like look if you want to throw Jaylen likely in there you got the money to do a running

back room I think I could see the Washington there's if the right running back is there the right

spots I can see them going there in that position group it just didn't fall that way for us

defensively the safety positions probably the one where players like the biggest bugaboo

man sort of Lane was available at number seven I will tell you that but after going to

Jamal Dean I was like you just don't rotate corners enough right like if you could man sort of

Lane Trae miss Jamal Dean Mike Sanders like someone's going to be the odd man out in corners don't

typically rotate that way if man sort of has like maybe some safety versatility things like that

I would go a little bit different but because of what we did in the off season the free agency

I went ahead went with Arvall Reese and then that linebacker room looks really good

and again that safety room is also going to be bolstered by some of these guys like

Camadrano seeing if he can develop into that kind of hybrid safety knuckle type of guy so that's

our mock off season let me know what you think let me know what you would have done differently let

me know what you would have done exactly the same it's going to do it for today's episode next time
