Warhead36 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I was ok with letting Mckissic go but I'm also happy he's back. He does fill an important role. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 11 minutes ago, Skinsinparadise said: Ionnaidis agent is pissed but bottom line is things changed from the combine clearly https://apnews.com/article/washington-commanders-nfl-sports-brandon-scherff-jonathan-allen-a3bfc9a9a65e81750b5838413930bc6c Herman told The AP that Washington senior VP of football administration Rob Rogers lied to him and fellow agent Jared Fox during a meeting at the scouting combine earlier this month by saying the team had no plans to release Ioannidis. “We don’t particularly care to be lied to our face,” Herman said. “They took him out of the free agent market now for two days. That puts us now at a disadvantage because other teams have paid other defensive linemen contracts, and (Ioannidis) hasn’t been able to take advantage of that. That’s not the way you conduct business in the National Football League.” A Commanders spokesman said the team had no comment. The conversation at the combine occurred before the Commanders acquired Wentz and his hefty cap hit from the Indianapolis Colts. Wentz counts $28.3 million against the cap this season, and adding him gave Washington limited space to use in free agency. They gave themselves plenty of room by cutting ties with Flowers and Ioannidis and will have even more when they formally release Landon Collins after June 1. The veteran safety was midway through an $84 million, six-year contract. Ioannidis had one year left on his deal. A 2016 fifth-round pick out of Temple, he played in 73 games and started 40 for Washington, making 175 tackles and 24½ sacks. Dirty if true. This is why this team misses Eric Schaffer. All that knew Eric knew he was one of the best cap gurus in the NFL. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAskins Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I'm glad J D is back. I am actually most upset about losing Tim Settle. I think his best days are ahead of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Wow, they cut Ioannidis? Was there a bad former Panthers DT that became available? So they've given up their #3 and #4 players from the teams one strong position. Now they have to replace Ioannidis 55% of snaps last season, as a good DT. Ron seems to be getting closer to his end goal of truly recreating his perennial 7-9 panthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that knew Eric knew he was one of the best cap gurus in the NFL. To play devils advocate, if an agent is asking a team if they plan on releasing him they already have an inkling that its possible. They have to know that if the team picks up players requiring cap room later then this might be an outcome. If the team does not at that time have a plan to release him then I would not expect them to tell the agent that they were planning on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought this top safety would be impossible for us to get but we talked. Saw an unexpected opportunity and had to make room fine. But NFL is part about having a deep roster. Players will get injured. You need depth. We don't have a lot of picks. So you need to have a plan if you cut good depth players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that caused their plans for Ion to change, then I want a FO that makes the best decision for the team.... that doesn't make it dirty. On top of that, they are releasing him prior to the official start of FA at 400 today. That's not really late... dropping him a week from now would be late...

FLSkinz83 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I'm confused. I thought there was a new rule from a few years ago that allows a team to release one player prior to June 1st and get the cap savings immediately as opposed to June 1st.
