In this episode we discuss three key topics: 1) We take a look at the upcoming contract extensions of three players, Jonathan Allen, Logan Thomas and Terry McLaurin. What could their contracts look like? 2) At what positions does the team need to upgrade or need a young player to step in order for this team to become a Super Bowl contending team. We look at last season's winner to get an idea of what positions are lacking. 3) How long should Ryan Fitzpatrick's leash be? If the team is 2-5 and his stat line is shaky, will it be time to pull the plug and insert Taylor Heinicke?

NBC Sports Washington Reporter JP Finlay joins the show to answer our questions about OTAs, minicamp, St. Juste, Dyami Brown, Jamin Davis, Taylor Heinicke and the culture with Ron Rivera.

In our latest episode we take a look dissect some of the latest news and notes from minicamp this week. After that, we choose who we think is "in" and who we think is "out" at the WR position.

Matt Miller, of Bleacher Report and ESPN fame, joins the show to breakdown the Washington Football Team's 2021 NFL draft class. He talks about his favorite picks, his sleeper for most productive rookie, and how the team is viewed in a different light under the leadership of Ron Rivera.

The Washington Football Team world was shocked by news of a potential Morgan Moses trade or release on Tuesday, 5/18. It appears his time with Washington will soon come to an end. We break that down and talk about what Ryan Kerrigan going to the Eagles means. 

After a 2 week break, we're back to discuss the draft, examine the teams offseason and review the schedule!  We each choose our favorite pick from the draft and dive into why we like the selection. After that, we look back at the offseason and talk about how the team has improved going into the 2021 season. We close out the episode by discussing what stood out most for the teams schedule.

In our last episode before the 2021 NFL Draft takes place, we go from pick 1-32 and look at what position/player/move each team will pursue. We also make our final predictions as to what we think Washington will do in the 1st round of the draft.
