The new deal is said to be in the neighbourhood of $71 Million in new money and contain $53 Million in guaranteed money. McLaurin’s agents Buddy Baker and Tony Bonagura managed to put McLaurin into the top five bracket of wide receivers.
Coming off a busy Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Commanders continued their search for new talent this week. Washington have signed more than a dozen undrafted free agents already. In doing so, they hope they can find a gem or two to plug into their lineup.
The descriptive word you heard most for this year’s draft was “deep”. So it only makes sense that even after 7 rounds of selections, the Commanders still had work to do. Take note of how many “academic” mentions there are – obviously something that Head Coach Ron Rivera was looking for.
Here is a list of the players that Washington have signed as UDFA’s already:
Dwayne Haskins would have turned 25 today.
Nobody should die that young. What a terrible loss for his family and everybody who loved him.
The Haskins family are inviting people to participate in a moment of silence tonight at 8pm. They hope that others will “reflect on the memories that Dwayne brought to our lives with his affectionate smile.”
The Washington Commanders went into the 2022 NFL Draft having just six draft selections. They would make eight selections over the weekend, and a strong day on Day 3 would help them fortify a solid 2022 draft haul.

Incredibly, it has been 25 years since The Squire passed away.
The Washington Commanders have taken the opportunity to flex their legal muscles and try to beat down the latest ticket revenue scandal. Or so it seems. The latest public statement from the organization is making its rounds today, and once again, the public perception of it appears less than favorable.
“In America, it’s about how much justice you can afford.” – O.J. Simpson.
It’s unfortunate who the source is, but it is a very accurate legal statement. And who knows it better than O.J.?
Perhaps Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder. He is surely one of the most litigious individuals in the history of football.
The hardest part of following the Washington Commanders’ scandals, has become tracking them all. That says something in itself. The latest allegation is that Washington did not share home ticket sales with opposing teams. Is it true?
A report from A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports alleged that, “the Commanders did not pass along the required 40% share of ticket sales to visiting teams.”
