Commanders' free agency frenzy: In-house updates, external targets, cap constraints

The Athletic’s Ben Standig is here and ready to talk Washington Commanders and free agency with Pro Football Focus’s salary cap analyst Brad Spielberger. The “legal tampering” period begins Monday with the official start to FA on Wednesday,

Ben opens the show with the latest intel on the Commanders’ in-house free agents J.D. McKissic, Tim Settle, Cornelius Lucas and Danny Johnson plus why free-agent TE Zach Ertz makes sense for Carson Wentz.

Brad joins the discussion (17:40) as the fellas assess Washington’s options with limited cap space following the Wentz trade. They look at all sides of the Wentz move/expense, releasing Landon Collins, ways to create more cap space and potential external targets.

ICYMI – Three episodes dropped last week including a deep dive into what happened to Wentz in Indianapolis with Colts insider Zak Keefer.
