Here's Ron Rivera, on why getting players vaccinated is personal to him. He said he's 'beyond frustrated' at the team's low rate.https://t.co/cl66EMcn4Z pic.twitter.com/8VdFO9COVo

“We have a group of young guys that want more information. The frustrating part is we’re trying to provide it, as quickly and as much as possible. But they still have to make their own decisions.”

A QB turned TE conversion that did work out.

Former #Cardinals QB turned #WFT TE Logan Thomas is rewarded with a new 3-year extension, per @MikeGarafolo

Thomas scored 6 TDs on 72 catches for 670 yards last season. pic.twitter.com/hyivvMqd8R

TE coach Pete Hoener in June on Logan Thomas: "Confidence is a crazy thing; it can really bring out the best in people. You saw that up close and personal last year how he started out. All of a sudden he made a few plays... and all of a sudden his whole persona changed."

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) July 27, 2021

What a catch by Logan Thomas. Nice ball by Smith too, gave him a chance to go up and get it, and boy did he ever pic.twitter.com/qrR91FQzwc

Washington rewarding their good players with contracts? What a time to be alive

— Jordan Asri (@wfteamjordan) July 27, 2021

Logan Thomas' three-year extension with @WashingtonNFL is the culmination of an amazing story. The journeyman, former QB flourished last season and earned stability. The team scouted and coached him well.

Washington has re-signed two core veterans in as many days. Impressive.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) July 27, 2021

Even if all Logan Thomas does is play the way he did last year for the next three seasons, this turns into a solid deal. Finally arrived in a position he had been chasing and has even more room to grow. Solid two business days for @WashingtonNFL

— Pete Medhurst (@PeteMedhurst) July 27, 2021

In his first year as a #1 TE, Logan Thomas finished 3rd in the NFL in most of the major statistical categories behind only Kelce & Waller. That’s impressive, and much deserving of some new cash.

After signing iDL Jonathan Allen to a four-year contract on Monday, here's when each of Washington's DLs on multi-year contracts will become free agents.

We asked longtime NFL scout, front office executive and GM Scot McCloughan for his thoughts on the Dyami Brown (@deuce2_) draft selection.

His response: "I think he's the steal of the draft"

There were two players that stood out above the rest in terms of how effusive Ron Rivera was in his praise of them on #GrantAndDanny today.

DB Bobby McCain and WR Cam Sims.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) July 28, 2021

We're now at a point where if #WashingtonFootball can add a legitimate starting QB next offseason - and they'll be in really good financial shape to do so - there's a very clear path to them being really good.

Like, really, really good.

With Aaron Rodgers back in Green Bay, the Packers are releasing veteran QB Blake Bortles, per @RobDemovsky.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 27, 2021

The #Packers indeed are working on a trade with the #Texans to bring WR Randall Cobb back to Green Bay. A reunion in the making with old friend Aaron Rodgers. https://t.co/3EfcARaJ1B

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) July 27, 2021

So the #Packers are about to begin their 30th consecutive season with either Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers as starting QB but they have so far combined for just two Super Bowl titles.

Good read here that clearly explains NFL rules for vaccinated and non-vaccinated players https://t.co/VPUW6MwCyK

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) July 27, 2021

One thing’s for sure: The draconian holdout rules the NFL won in 2020 CBA talks are working. Looks like there won’t be a single veteran holdout this summer after much cage-rattling in the spring.

We’ll see if that changes down the line. It did in the later years of the ‘11 CBA.

As of July 26, Washington had the lowest player vax rate in the NFL, with 60% having received at least one dose, per source. Indy is 2nd-lowest at 63%.

Overall, nearly 84% of NFL players are at least partially vaccinated. https://t.co/EUkEdsRZx5

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 27, 2021

Basically, the Vikings and Rick Dennison have agreed that both sides will comply with whatever protocols apply, whether he's vaccinated or not.

The latest on Simone: https://t.co/oad7s62Oxf

— Al Butler (@ALaboutSports) July 27, 2021

Simone Biles is 24. She's lived through the same disaster. of a last year as we all have, but has done it under the stress of this being her last hurrah.

Separating her mental and physical health is impossible. You need both to perform. That's why they're both called health.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) July 27, 2021

Official statement: "Simone Biles has withdrawn from the team final competition due to a medical issue. She will be assessed daily to determine medical clearance for future competitions."

Simone Biles, on feeling like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders:

"Yeah, that shit's heavy."

Simone Biles: "I'm sorry. I love you guys, but you're gonna be just fine."

"You guys have trained your whole entire life for this, it's fine. I've been to an Olympics, I'll be fine. This is your first — you go out there and kick ass, okay?" pic.twitter.com/r2RxWQ2Dsy

— Kendall Baker (@TheKendallBaker) July 27, 2021

This is what I don't understand...

You think Simone Biles wanted to walk away? She knows what kind of scrutiny it brings. Plus, you don't think she likes to win?!

She's stepping aside in spite of all that, not because of all that.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) July 27, 2021

Simone Biles bowed out of the team competition. People attacking her is INSANE to me.

The expectations & pressure is so high because she IS THE STANDARD. I hope she gets back to feeling GREAT like the GOAT she is #PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com/0QqTbSG6lj

— Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) July 27, 2021

It remains to be seen if Max Scherzer will be traded, but a source said the pitcher “strongly prefers the West Coast” to waive his no-trade clause. Given the state of the NL West, he could be the difference-maker in that race if he landed with the Dodgers, Giants or Padres.
