| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's going on all? |
| 0:10.8 | Welcome in to another episode of the Checo Daily. |
| 0:13.7 | Andrew DeCechko here. |
| 0:15.5 | Eagles beat reporter for Inside the Birds.com. |
| 0:17.8 | The NFC East preview series rolls on with the Washington Commanders, and I'm going to |
| 0:24.0 | take a look at where they stand after a couple weeks into free agency. And so if you remember back to |
| 0:30.2 | last season, there was a lot of optimism surrounding the commanders because they made that deep |
| 0:35.3 | postseason run, got to the NFC title game, but we're not |
| 0:38.9 | quite ready to make that leap. And there was a lot of eyes on the commanders as to what they were |
| 0:44.6 | going to do entering the 2025 season. And if they were going to be able to build on that, but they |

| 1:30.3 | They sign him to a big contract. |
| 1:32.0 | He's going to be called upon to front their pass rush and compliment what they have there |
| 1:38.5 | in Dorrance Armstrong, who they re-signed. |
| 1:41.8 | They have Duran Payne and Javan Kinlaw a tackle, so their mainstays there. |
| 1:46.0 | They also brought over Kalevan Chason from the New England Patriots and Free Agency. |
| 1:51.6 | I like Chason. I'm not sure that he's an every-down player, but Adafay-O-Way, I look at what he was |
| 1:57.8 | able to do earlier in his career, and it left a lot to be desired. |
