While this doesn't initially seem like a good move, I'm going to wait and see. Peters has done a great job. Many people complained about the Dan Quinn hire.

"Javon Kinlaw, a defensive tackle for the New York Jets, has had inconsistent run defense, but he has shown flashes of brilliance. "
watched more kinlaw tape than any sane person should. 3/45 is an insane overpay considering he didnt even play up to his 1/7 contract for NY. also calling him a philly killer after the tape he put up during the 2023 NFC championship game is hilarious
Huh?!?! You can probably draft DT on day 2 of the draft and get similar or better production than Kinlaw. I get that he was a first rounder, but nothing he has done suggests that he’s ever going to be anything more than an average rotational guy.

The Commanders just spent... 60%? of their rookie QB extra cap space on players the Niners don't want anymore.
