Based on the parking lot and the early AM crowd there are way more fans here today. Spoke w team folks that expect good crowd Saturday too. Obviously some quirks w new camp setup but I think yesterday was kinda fluky pic.twitter.com/KOEBCoqLy0

Story time: Terry McLaurin is the real deal. Hundreds of fans waited to get an autograph or picture w/ him. He went to the end of the row, looked back up at all the people and said “I’ll go all the way up!” He’s signing EVERY SINGLE ITEM & taking time to talk to EVERY SINGLE FAN pic.twitter.com/vDrrfamXA3

Ron Rivera said Chase Young will miss the season opener. Initially said he’d start on PUP list to open season then backed off that and said only knew it would be the first game. Maybe starts on IR. But Rivera said he doesn’t want to give a number of games yet; doesn’t fully know.

Compressed sets in 11 personnel are great because QB EPA/dropback goes up when defenses put players in the box. So, make them put players in the box and throw it.
What if the #Commanders are creating explosive 12 and 13 personnel groups?

Carson Wentz has been genuinely accepted by all of the players on this team. Looks like he has finally found a true home and it shows. I’m happy for him. https://t.co/wteHztlWp1

Team owner Dan Snyder is testifying today in front of Congress.
I asked @Commanders fans about the Snyder situation.

Seahawks’ WR DK Metcalf is signing a three-year, $72 million extension that includes $58.2 million guaranteed, per source. Deal includes $30 million signing bonus, the highest ever for a WR. Metcalf will be a free agent again at 27 years old.

Four WRs taken outside the first-round in 2019 have gotten paid this offseason:
AJ Brown: 4-years, $100M
DK Metcalf: 3-years, $72M
Terry McLaurin: 3-years, $71M
Hunter Renfrow: 2-years, $32MDeebo Samuel and Diontae Johnson are two more 2019 wide receivers still waiting.
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) July 28, 2022
Through two years he will rank 3rd among wide receivers and through all three years he will also rank 3rd. Without a doubt the best contract for a young WR even if the funny money years are not there to bump it up.

Cardinals say Murray homework clause was “perceived in ways we never intended.” Huh??
They mandated a clause saying their adult quarterback could lose up to $150M in guarantees for not doing team-monitored homework every week for the next 7 years.
What exactly did they intend?— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) July 29, 2022
Panthers’ WR Robbie Anderson told reporters today that he now will be going by Robbie as opposed to Robby. “I kinda like how it looks It’s better on paper with the ‘ie’ on the end,” Anderson said. “That’s what it was when I wore No. 3, too.”

Hmm, I wonder what he was “largely truthful” about and what he forgot. I’m sure he conveniently forgot about #thegoodbits and the sexual assault, but why not #ReleaseTheReport and let the public decide?

The only thing more absurd than sports shows discussing video game skill ratings would he sitting on hold with the Madden hotline to voice your displeasure about them. https://t.co/Iq6IpNKmg7
