McKissic's reversal, Commanders chaos as free agency gets weird

The Athletic’s Ben Standig is right back on the mic with guest Nicki Jhabvala (Washington Post) after a bonkers day with the Washington Commanders.

Ben opens the show with a quick transactional recap including J.D. McKissic changing his mind to and staying with the Commanders, multiple surprise releases (Matt Ioannidis?) and angry agents.

Then Nicki enters the fray (7:45). Topics include moving on from Ioannidis and Ereck Flowers. Is the team making these post-Carson Wentz trade moves with a plan or haphazardly? There are also some positives like McKissic and Cam Sims staying. Plus Ben and Nicki ponder what the team does with their new cap space — and react to live breaking news!
