Commanders

• Commanders LT Laremy Tunsil on being traded to Washington by the Texans: “What I learned is don’t take anything personally because it’s business…I think I can make a huge impact in Washington in what I bring to the table.” (JP Finlay)
• Tunsil continued: “I can make a huge impact… pass protector, damn good run blocker…. They traded for me for that reason.” (John Keim)
• Tunsil was asked if he would re-sign with the team, with two years remaining on his contract: “[Adam Peters] and the front office know where I stand on that.” (Nicki Jhabvala)

Cowboys

• According to Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys will likely consider drafting a quarterback such as Texas QB Quinn Ewers to replace former backup QB Cooper Rush, who signed with the Ravens.
• New Cowboys CB Kaiir Elam on why things didn’t work out for him in Buffalo: “Coming to Buffalo, I was a kid that just wanted to improve and learn and really show off my talents. But I was always put in the back seat. I continued to put my head down and work, continued to make plays throughout the season and in the playoffs and stuff like that. I just took everything I learned from there and all the baggage and improvements I felt like I needed to make and just packaged it up and worked on it every day. I don’t really see it as a negative. I really just see it as a growing opportunity for me to go shine somewhere else.” (Todd Archer)
• Elam continued: “It was a blessing and a privilege to be traded to the Cowboys. The big market and the tradition here is something that I’m in love with right now. Being able to just go prove myself and help this team win, that’s all I’m committed to right now.”
• TCU WR Savion Williams is expected to take an official visit with the Cowboys. However, he will count as a local prospect and not against the 30 visit limit. (Ryan Fowler)
• Arkansas DE Landon Jackson met extensively with the Cowboys at his pro day. (Tony Pauline)
• Syracuse LB Justin Barron got dinner with the Cowboys the night before his pro day. (Tony Pauline)
• Jordan Schultz reports South Carolina LB Demetrius Knight Jr. met with Cowboys coaches at his Pro Day including DC Matt Eberflus.

Eagles

• Eagles LB Zack Baun spoke for the first time after re-signing with the team: “I didn’t want to leave. What we built here. The culture here. I was just the piece of a puzzle of what was already a great culture that was established … It just felt right for me and my family as well.” (Brooks Kubena)
• Eagles edge rusher Azeez Ojulari says he is trying to put his injuries with the Giants behind him and has the goal of playing 17 games with Philadelphia this season. (Kubena)
