The Washington Commanders own the second pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and one of the quarterbacks they like is J.J. McCarthy from Michigan. With the Chicago Bears most likely to take Caleb Williams number one overall, it feels like the NFL Draft really begins at number two with Washington. They do need to draft a quarterback. The betting odds went up on Monday for McCarthy to be drafted second overall by the Commanders. This could be seen as a major surprise with Washington potentially drafting him over Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels. It seemed all along that Daniels could…

Roger Goodell and the NFL have yet to release a schedule for the 2024 season. However, according to a source that told NFL on CBS, NFL Insider for NFL on CBS Jonathan Jones posted on Twitter as follows: “The NFL plans to play on Christmas Day again in 2024, even though the holiday falls on a Wednesday. This is a reversal of the league’s previous stance. Christmas Day games draw massive TV ratings. @andrewlbeaton first on the report.” This comes as a huge surprise because Wednesday is a day where no one usually plays games and where everyone practices.

With the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, they will have the option to take one of those quarterbacks or they will have the option to trade up for one. It is going to depend on what happens during the 2024 NFL Draft. General manager Joe Schoen told the media about what goes into scouting these quarterbacks by saying: “It’s not, ‘OK, if this guy fails at corner, we can move him to nickel or he’s at least our third tackle or our…

The New York Giants have quarterback Daniel Jones under contract for the next few years, but they can opt out of the contract after next season. With the Giants bringing in Drew Lock and potentially drafting a quarterback with the sixth overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, New York could then maybe move off of Daniel Jones’s contract. One of those ways is a trade and General Manager Joe Schoen would have to find another team to trade him to. He has already said this offseason that they believe Jones will be the Week 1 starter for the Giants…

The Washington Commanders could very well trade the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Washington would have its choice of quarterbacks to choose from, but general manager Adam Peters may want to trade down and accumulate more picks.

New England Patriots Could Be the Most Likely Team That Trades Up With the Washington Commanders The New England Patriots own the third…

It is no stranger that Washington needs to find its next franchise quarterback after moving off Sam Howell and trading him to the Seattle Seahawks earlier this offseason. The Commanders have a new head coach Dan Quinn, a new general manager with Adam Peters, and a new offensive…
