Names mentioned include Josh Conerly, Laremy Tunsil, Kain Medrano and Ja'Corey Brooks.The Terry McLaurin contract negotiation continues, and John Keim added an interesting piece of information, saying that the team could end up getting to $28 million a year, but that may not be enough for Terry's camp. Keim went on to say that the team would potentially feel that getting to $28 million would already be over what they were expecting to pay McLaurin. Given that information, Amit gives his final assessment of the situation. KDot maintains this is part of a standard negotiation.The Washington Commanders play the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium later tonight at 7:30pm ET on CBS locally and on NFL Network later on.

The thought is that he is looking for a contract above $30 million per year, more specifically in the $32-34 million per year range.

Terry McLaurin spoke to the media for 32 minutes on Tuesday after shooting an Eastern Motors commercial to express his disappointment and frustration with how talks have gone so far, saying that his representation and the team have not spoken in over a month. Amit and KDot react to Terry speaking to the media, and Amit does an analytics deep dive on McLaurin's age being just a number. Amit expects Terry McLaurin to produce at a high level for the coming years.

The Commanders also made an EDGE signing in Von Miller that signals a shift in the way we think about the coming season. Miller, an 8-time Pro Bowler and former Super Bowl MVP and Champion, joins Washington on a 1-year deal. What are your thoughts on the deal?

Jayden Daniels and Frankie Luvu both found themselves at number 5 on ESPN's list of Top 10 at their position, in a survey run by Jeremy Fowler where he asks coaches, scouts, and executives to rank players at each position. How do you feel about their position in the rankings?

Art Monk will have his jersey retired Week 9 on Sunday Night Football vs Seattle Seahawks. Monk was a 3-time Pro Bowler, 1st team and 2nd team All-Pro and 3-time Super Bowl Champion with the franchise and his #81 will be retired on that night. Congratulations, Art Monk!
