We kick things off with the latest on Terry McLaurin, whose frustration with ongoing contract negotiations has become increasingly clear, especially with his absence from OTAs. According to Jordan Schultz, this holdout sends a strong message, and we break down whether it’s surprising and what it means for McLaurin’s future in Washington. Using DK Metcalf as a benchmark, we compare stats, play styles, and overall impact to determine where McLaurin ranks among NFL wide receivers and what his next contract should look like. We also explore whether McLaurin belongs in the league’s elite tier, opening the discussion to fan opinions and player comparisons. From the gridiron to the diamond, we recap the Nationals’ dominant shutout win over the Cubs, led by MacKenzie Gore, who rebounded from a rough first inning to pitch seven stellar frames. The Rooster breaks down Gore’s performance and what this means for the NATS moving forward. Then it’s time to “do that Hockey,” as Leon Draisaitl scored the game-winner in the Oilers’ 4-3 Stanley Cup Final victory but The Rooster missed the dramatic finish, and his reason might just surprise you. Plus, breaking NFL news: Aaron Rodgers is reportedly signing a one-year deal with the Steelers, setting up a must-watch Week 1 matchup against Justin Fields and the Jets in what’s shaping up to be a fiery revenge game. All that and more, right here on The Team 980.
