NFC Notes: Commanders, Eagles, Daniel Jones, Giants

Commanders

  • Ryan Fowler reports that the Commanders hosted UCLA OL Atonio Mafi on a top-30 visit and also met informally with Oregon OL Alex Forsyth.

Eagles

  • Eagles OT Lane Johnson, who re-signed to a one-year extension, said it’s his goal to retire in Philadelphia: “My whole goal is to retire an Eagle. That’s what I’m going to do,” via Zach Berman. 
  • Eagles recently signed S Terrell Edmunds said he grew interested in the team’s culture following his visit with the organization: “I’m ready to come here and just give everything I got,” per Eliot Shorr-Parks. 
  • Edmunds’ one-year, $2 million deal includes a $250,000 signing bonus, $1.08 million base salary, $350,000 of which is guaranteed, and up to $670,000 in per-game active roster bonuses. Another $850,000 in incentives is available for team improvement and individual stats. (Aaron Wilson)

Giants

The Giants ultimately felt okay giving QB Daniel Jones $40 million a year and foregoing other options because they have confidence Jones can continue to improve. He made a lot of strides in his first season under HC Brian Daboll and it’s rational to expect that to continue in Year 2, which Daboll says is their expectation. 

โ€œItโ€™s his second year in the system,โ€ Daboll said via NFL Media’s Bobby Kownack. โ€œI donโ€™t think heโ€™s had continuity since heโ€™s been there. We all can do a better job. I think that he really adapted to the things that we were asking him to do. We tried to implement a lot of the things that he likes to do. Thatโ€™s just another step going into the offseason of adding some more pieces. More players around him. And also him growing into the quarterback that we think he can be.โ€

  • New Giants WR Jamison Crowder and CB Amani Oruwariye each signed veteran salary benefit deals which means they’ll count as minimum salaries toward the cap at about $1 million. It also means they’re not guaranteed roster spots. (Dan Duggan)
  • Crowder got a $27,500 signing bonus and can earn up to $100,000 in per-game active roster bonuses, as well as a $25,000 workout bonus. His base salary is $1.165 million. (Over The Cap)
  • Oruwariye got a $1.08 million base salary, a $52,500 signing bonus, a $25,000 workout bonus, and a $75,000 roster bonus if he appears in any game for the Giants in 2023.
