Sam Howell is sharp on the first day of camp. Quick decision making and his deep ball when thrown has been pin-point. He looks really comfortable in the pocket. #httc

If my count is correct, 4 INT’s from the Commanders defense today. 1 from Jacoby 3 from Fromm

Chase Young with NO knee brace…he’s going off this year for sure pic.twitter.com/ECgXGEd2XU

No brace for Chase Young. His get off looks good. Again: no stutter stepping. Big key for him. Allows him to maintain power with his hands

Ron Rivera press conference highlights:
– Lot of focus on Josh Harris, who briefly addressed the team
– Chase Young has ditched his brace and so has Logan Thomas
– Opportunity for Sam Howell and everyone else to make an impression in front of Harris— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 26, 2023
Daron Payne has a minor toe injury and won’t practice today per team spokesman. Payne considered day to day.

This is real cool – if you want some Commanders tickets, no fees for next few days. I hate ticket fees. Just a blatant cash grab. pic.twitter.com/2241OKSWZz

Per the wire, Washington hosted DBs MacMcCain and John Reid on visits today, and tried out G Yasir Durant and DB Tae Hayes.

Every quarterback should want to be part of the Quarterback series on Netflix. Sam Howell, like Justin Fields, is not interested. https://t.co/tEfWQUbu2W

I am very clearly not a writer, but I felt it was necessary to share my thoughts about the way Andy Reid (and his tree) weaponize pre-snap motion in the pass game. This is literally just one small part of it that I love, and it’s motioning in & out of stacks/bunches. pic.twitter.com/0KeOtOND8b

Another deal: Bears and TE Cole Kmet reached agreement on a four-year, $50 million extension, including $32.8 million guaranteed and $20 million in new first-year cash, per me and @FieldYates.

#Jets QB Aaron Rodgers agreed to take a whopping $35M paycut in a new adjusted contract, per @TomPelissero. The Jets inherited a 2-year, $110M deal and Rodgers is dropping it to a 2-year, $75M contract.
Gives them a 2-year window to try to win it all — and now with more money… pic.twitter.com/28Oh69p3DV
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) July 26, 2023
That’s a terrific deal for the #Jets. Have to imagine packers brass would be a little peeved at it given all they went through the last few years.

#Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa told reporters that he declined an opportunity to be on season 2 of ‘Quarterback’ on Netflix.
Tagovailoa explained that he’s more of a private person, and the series would show too much of what’s going on in his personal/family life. pic.twitter.com/Pd5e2qUSNz

Update: Jalen Hurts turned down the opportunity to be on the Netflix show ‘Quarterback.’ on Season 1.
Who should be in it for season 2?
Hurts: “There’s a lot of the journey to be told and there’s a lot to unfold that will be told one day. That time will come.”
We already know… https://t.co/KjK3MHG5A7 pic.twitter.com/MjTUSxrYrv

Another big-money OT deal in Houston: Former Texans 1st-round pick Tytus Howard and Houston reached agreement on a 3-year, $56 million extension that includes $36.5M gtd, per source.
