We had such a good time at the back to school event yesterday and were able to distribute 100 @nike backpacks filled with school supplies and of course a little swag. Thank you to everyone who contributed. We appreciate you. @kinggroup_nc #kinggroupnc #backtoschool pic.twitter.com/RlPlKxDQTh

Always love the emotional stories of athletes buying a home for their parents. Commanders' 2nd round pick, @PhidarianMathis, joins the club. https://t.co/i7zKpdqDqw pic.twitter.com/QK9lwfAna2

Can you get comeback player of the year based on slander as opposed to injury? If so, Carson Wentz is my pick to get that award! pic.twitter.com/YMwZhOiaey

There was prob not a Washington fan out there who Championed for us to acquire Carson Wentz more than me.

So yes - as a fan and Washington Football contributor, I feel as though I personally have a lot of skin in this game and am not afraid to admit that...

Wentz ranked #1 in deep ball IQR in the entire NFL last year... and that was with limited deep ball threats in INDY

Which one do we like more for Carson Wentz?

Jamin Davis has pass rush ability. I've seen him green-dog at Kentucky, and we saw some flashes of it last year in limited attempts.

He's no Micah Parsons, but he's no slouch either.

I swore off of buying active players' jerseys, ever since I bought a Brian Orakpo jersey. Since then, I've only bought two: Dave Butz and Sean Taylor. Well...I'm gonna break my rule and buy a Terry McLaurin jersey, a black one.

My gut tells me that Scot Turner is going to have a bright future in the NFL. The offense went from 28th in 2020 to 20th in 2021 with limited resources. I think he's a keeper, and I think Ron knows it judging by the extension he got.

#NFL #Giants are expected to kick the tires on #49ers Jimmy G. Garoppolo has proved to be a good mentor and could be valuable to QB Daniel Jones. Jimmy G could also take over the reins if needed.

Jared Goff went from SB QB to nearly winless because he switched to a talentless team

Matt Stafford went from nearly winless to SB Champion because he switched to an actually talented team.

But keep thinking wins are a way to measure how good a QB is. Nerds.

Just because a player goes undrafted doesn't mean they weren't worth signing. Here's the highest-earning players in the NFL who started their careers as UDFAs.https://t.co/SKKx4sZkOv

A source just confirmed to me that the Nationals did in fact offer Juan Soto $440M over 15 years without deferments and he has turned their offer down.

The offer would have been the largest in MLB history (topping Mike Trout's $426.5M)

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) July 16, 2022

(2) AAV for deal he tuned down is 'only' is $29.3M. Player side won't like that. 14 players make $30M or more this season. Soto (Boras) would likely prefer him to be up closer to the $35M per year Trout/ Correa make at top of MLB.

Nats want to pay him a little less for longer.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) July 16, 2022

(4) If they really don't think they can sign him, or maybe more accurately that he is willing to sign, they should trade him. Not a question of if. Question of when.

I don't think now is the time. I don't think you can get ENOUGH back for him to make it work.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) July 16, 2022

(6) If I'm trading Soto I want your house, car, your 2nd car, your couch, etc. I just don't see teams doing that without a long-term deal in place. And why should we believe they could get one done?

So to get what you need to back is going to be really hard right now.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) July 16, 2022

(8) My preference is still to make him a Nat forever. But when you're being turned down at 15/440 2.5 years out, I don't like your chances. Takes 2 to Tango.

Trading him would be very painful. It will also turn a very thin system into 1 of the best in MLB literally overnight.

This Soto stuff is just so depressing. That parade feels like a different lifetime
