The Commanders completely 'recalibrated' their franchise, but they did it without going on an unhinged spending spree.
The rebuilding — or recalibration of the Washington Commanders, as new coach Dan Quinn calls it — was never going to be a small project. There was too much work that needed to be done on a franchise that hasn't had a winning season since 2016 and hasn't won a playoff game since 2005. What was most interesting about what new general manager Adam Peters and Quinn went about it, though, was that they underwent a major renovation with mostly small-ish moves.
Even all of the additions they made to their defense were basically second-tier free agents. They stayed away from all the big-ticket stars. Quinn is hoping to piece together a pass rush without an expensive, stud pass rusher. Or, to put it another way, he's going to rely on Payne and Allen and hope the others can contribute in their roles. Biggest addition Daniels is the key to everything for the Commanders. There's just no understating the importance of a franchise quarterback.
