Daily Slop – 15 Jul 24: Stay in touch with the Commanders and the NFL as training camp approaches
A collection of articles, podcasts & tweets from around the web to keep you in touch with the Commanders, the NFC East and the NFL in general
Commanders getting an immediate upgrade with free-agent signing Frankie Luvu
The former undrafted free agent out of Washington State wasted no time in making an impact over offseason workouts. Luvu received widespread plaudits for his on-field production and early emergence into the heart and soul of Joe Whitt Jr.’s defense. Something that was highlighted further by ex-team cornerback Fred Smoot based on comments via Fan Nation.
Luvu promises to form a highly productive linebacking tandem with Bobby Wagner. This looks like a tone-setting duo who can provide stability to a position group that became an ongoing source of frustration under Ron Rivera. Their arrival could also give Jamin Davis some extra freedom to maximize his outstanding athletic attributes on the edge.
The Commanders gave Luvu a three-year, $31 million deal with a $11.5 million signing bonus and $19.12 million guaranteed. He was one of very few who received long-term commitments from Peters, which is a testament to the esteem in which the second-level enforcer is held in league circles.
