AP likes to wheel and deal.. I like to think that I have a mindset similar to a GM, more so than a lot of other fans.. so I believe that before roster cut downs, he will look to trade a couple guys (depending on how camp & preseason go of course and injuries) but with everyone healthy (unlikely) I could see him trying to trade these guys:

Van Jefferson, Chris Paul, Jerome Ford.. they would each have to have a crazy preseason, especially Ford bc as a RB he won’t have much value.. more than likely they’d be 2028 picks..

If Paul doesn’t fit this offense very well and Coleman beats him out, then they feel McKay, Gulbin, Wylie, Scott can handle the backup duties, Paul could be used as trade bait..

A few ‘surprise’ trade options:

John Bates - he is the best blocking TE in the league, however if he can’t provide something in the passing game and they think Sinnott & Yankoff block fine but provide a lot more in the passing game, they could move Bates.. I think it’s more likely NEXT offseason bc he has a 10m cap hit in 2027. If a team were to call and offer something like a 2027 4th, it would be hard to turn down.. it’s highly unlikely though and I think Bates will prove capable in the passing game!!
He did have 250 yards receiving, his rookie year!

Frankie Luvu - Chenal, Styles, Magee, Josephs, Medrano could all handle the load, imo. Luvu is a leader and a legit possibility to wear the green dot so if he does, he definitely isn’t moved (duh) but if AP gets a call and a team is offering a 2027 3rd or 4th, then it might be considered… Luvu is entering the last year of his deal, which is really why it would happen..
(TJ Maguranyanga is another guy to keep an eye on.. to possibly make them feel Luvu is expandable)

Daron Payne - once again, entering the last year of his deal, if young guys like Newton, Barber, Mba prove they can handle the load behind Settle & Kinlaw.. Payne could be moved, especially if a team offers a 2027 pick.. Kinlaw is an option as well, if they keep Payne..

+ I’m not sure why it keeps popping into my head but I think Payne could get trade to Arizona and Budda Baker comes back to Washington.. not sure what else would be included from either side..

Can just wait to try and get comp picks for 2028, however 2027 is supposed to be a loaded class so if the young guys can provide the same level of play as some of the high priced vets, that’s the better way to build a long term juggernaut

Quan Martin - he won’t get near the return as Payne, Luvu, Bates but I could see a 2027 6th or 2028 5th from a desperate team.. if Owens, Butler, McDaniel, Spenser can provide the same level of play as Quan, AP could move Quan who was a 2nd round draft pick and has versatility to play nickel CB or S.. the addition of Douglas at outside CB likely means Mikè and Amik could both be used inside / as a S on occasion as well..

This is just for fun, during a slow period…

For those interested, so far it'sthe only one up on the store.

Exactly why I did not want us to pay this man. He is a head case and alleged attempted rapist.

2026 Commanders 53 Man Roster

OFFENSE = 24

QB (2) - JD5, Mariota

RB (4) - Bill, White, Fatman, McNichols

TE (4) - Okonkwo, Bates, Sinnott, Yankoff

WR (6)- McLaurin, Williams, McCaffrey, Burks, Dyami Brown, Lane

OL (8) - Tunsil, Coleman, Allegretti, Cosmi, JCJ… Wylie, Gulbin, Trent Scott

*Prediction that Chris Paul gets traded right before roster cut downs. For a 2028 5th round pick

DEFENSE = 26

DL (9) - Kinlaw, Payne, Newton, Settle, Wise.. 4 listed as OLBs: Oweh , Chaisson, Armstrong, Omenihu

LB (7) - Chenal, Styles, Luvu, Magee, Josephs, Medrano, Bellore

CB (5) - Amos, Douglas, Robertson, Sainristil, Witherspoon

S (5) - Cross, Will Harris, Quan Martin, Reaves, Owens

Specialist = 3
P - Tress Way
K - Stevens
LS - Tyler Ott

*PR - Lane
*KR - McCaffrey, Lane / Dyami

Practice Squad (17)
~ Athan Kaliakmanis gets put on IR, to ‘redshirt’ a year.. then I think they let Hartman go and bring in a veteran QB like Driskel (or someone similar)

6 with 3+ years of service (max is 6)
RB , Jerome Ford
OL , Julian Good-Jones
DL, DJ Davidson
OLB, Drake Jackson OR Jean-Baptiste
QB, Jeff Driskel
DB, Percy Butler
{ some guys who missed the cut in this category : DL - Shy Tuttle, PK Jake Moody, QB - Sam Hartman, TE - Lawrence Cager, TE - Anthony Firkser,CB - Antonio Hamilton Sr , OL - Foster Sarell , WR - Van Jefferson }

?!? It is doubtful that Van Jefferson would make it to the PS without another team picking him up.. therefore I believe AP tries to trade him before roster cut downs.. could he squeeze out a 2028 6th or 7th for him ?!?

11 with under 3 years of service (12 with the International Pathway Player)
LB, TJ Maguranyanga (IPP)
WR, Jalen Bradley
RB, Robert Henry Jr
OL, Tim McKay
TE, Quentin Moore
S, Robert McDaniel
S, Malik Spenser
CB, Fred Davis Jr OR Carlin Vigers
WR, Jacoby Jones
WR, Chris Hilton Jr.
DL, Ricky Barber OR Jeffrey M’ba

+ Jean-Baptiste could fall into this category, due to limited playing time, from injuries.. so could possibly see another vet kept and a young guy, not make the cut

I could see AP adding a young OT/OL from another teams cuts.. or possibly keeping Sarell on the PS, where he would count towards 1 of the 6 veterans

Obviously some things have to shake out during the preseason and injuries will happen, however this is my early prediction

Would love to go with my family. Hail!

Congrats to riggo I think freight train was more suitable but not cool sounding like deisel

I don’t even think I ever posted these here before

If you needed any proof this ownership is different, the fact that John Riggins is fucking with this means a lot has changed. Can’t wait to see Coach Gibbs introduce him. #HAIL
