Dorance Armstrong could have a stronger market than some expected

[big dog cowboy]

This will be a bigger loss than most expect. Some think he is a jag but that simply isn't true.

 

[Reality]

I think at this point we have to assume that if Armstrong fits the defensive scheme that Zimmer is implementing they would actively try to resign him, and if not, they won't.

It is not always about whether a player is good but whether they fit the requirements of the defensive scheme.

Sometimes the position itself is a lower priority to the defensive scheme, meaning it may be easier to find suitable replacements for that position because money has to be spent on other defensive positions which impact the defense more.

For example, Quinn liked smaller and faster linebackers, so they didn't put a lot of money into that position since they could slide in safeties and other hybrid players.

Oh I always expected him to have a strong market. Free agency is where everyone gets overpaid. And Armstrong is a part time player for us. But someone will pay him to be a full time player for them. Tough spot. I think you have to let these caliber of players walk in free agency and find their replacements in the draft. Unless they think he has a higher ceiling than he's shown.

Armstrong is quality depth and special teamer. He’s actually been one of our more successful 4th rounders in recent history.

I fully expect him to sign with the Commanders.

Should be a nice comp pick for 2025

Yep. He will go day one to Washington in a massive overpay

Sam Williams time

Time to see what Sam has at this point anyway.

If he continues making silly mistakes, he could find himself in Zim doghouse real quick .........

Not that it's up for debate but I'd keep Armstrong over stupid Sam every day of the week. Maybe Zimmer is the coach to get through to Williams though.

Well the thing about Sam is that he tells you rather soon in the offseason if he's learned from his past mistakes or not lol.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Armstrong is a little above average.

Let him walk. He will want way too much money. Let Washington over pay.

Our pass rush went WAY down at the end of the season. We need an upgrade opposite Parsons.

No doubt. A late third rounder that could potentially become the next Nashon Wright.

 

[darthseinfeld]

21 sacks in 3 years, and 16 in 2 is pretty decent production.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Armstrong is a good 3rd DE glue-guy type, but he's not a starter, and I don't think he's going to do well with a starter workload.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

I think the Commanders will sign Fowler before they sign Armstrong. Fowler has a very close relationship with DQ

Probably a 4th if he gets a nice deal.

 

[Creeper]

Maybe Zimmer will bring in Danielle Hunter.

 

[Risen Star]

Not me. I'd imagine he's the premier free agent available. Special, special player.

 

[Risen Star]

Maybe Zimmer will bring in Danielle Hunter.

You don't want to be the guy who replaces Dorance Armstrong. You want to be the guy who replaces the guy who replaced Dorance Armstrong.

Incoming compensatory draft pick ... Bring it !
