"Hitting the open market at 27 years old following a second-team All-Pro season, [Devin] Lloyd will generate interest from a number of teams looking to upgrade at the off-ball linebacker spots. This allows him to get a deal that just tops the one Zack Baun got from the Eagles in free agency one year ago, from the team he played for last year."
"Jacksonville didn't tag Lloyd, either. This suggests they are not keen on bidding against themselves, so they might want to see what he generates on the open market before deciding to match. Either way, Peters should keep a close eye on this situation and be ready to strike if he's free to speak with other clubs."
The Washington Commanders need significant defensive improvements this offseason and have the financial resources to pursue high-caliber players. General manager Adam Peters should aggressively target proven performers. However, ESPN insider Dan Graziano predicts Pro Bowl linebacker Devin Lloyd will re-sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars rather than test free agency. Lloyd, a 27-year-old second-team All-Pro selection, will likely command substantial compensation around $20 million annually. Jacksonville did not franchise tag Lloyd, suggesting they may allow him to explore the market before matching offers. Peters should monitor this situation closely and be prepared to act if Lloyd becomes available for negotiations.
