*Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Washington Commanders fans and fans across the country.Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.*
Today, we have just one question in the Reacts survey, having to do with — of course — free agency.
Last Tuesday morning. we invited readers to grade the free agency period to-date. At the time, the Commanders had agreed to terms with just 4 external free agents on the first day of the “legal tampering period”: Odafe Oweh, Leo Chenal, Amik Robertson, and Tim Settle. The signing of K’Lavon Chaisson was reported late on Tuesday, while poll voting was ongoing, but late in the process.
If you remember (and you may not), that long lull on Tuesday was driving many Washington fans crazy (certainly on Twitter, and even here at Hogs Haven) after they had been given to understand that Adam Peters would be very active in free agency and that fans could expect “fireworks”.
In our poll last week, many comments indicated that the four (or five) players that had been signed represented a good start, but that there was a lot more work that needed to be done.
Well, free agency is not closed (it never truly closes) but all NFL teams have substantially completed most of the offseason free agency work that they will accomplish. There will still be activity going forward (Brandon Aiyuk, anyone?) but we’ve probably seen enough to judge the Commanders free agency plan and execution at this point.
Released/signed with another team (5 players)
Re-signed/extended (13 players)
Free agents signed from other teams (12 players)

Now that you’ve got a lot more information, we’re asking the same question today that we did last Tuesday — how do you grade free agency to-date?
Of course, we invite you to answer the survey question below, but also feel free to expand on your answer and provide nuance in the comments section. While you are certainly free to simply share which choice you made in answer to the survey question, the most interesting comments will explain why you answered the way you did. I rely on those comments when discussing the results of the survey when they are posted in a separate article the next few days.
