Commanders practice update: The team will gather tomorrow but for a light workout/positional meetings. No official OTA. Good news for the players. Avoids injury risk after a mostly clean offseason.

Bad news - The session is closed, so no media/fans.

That's a wrap until TC.

This should be noted: You aren't going to find many team presidents, GMs or head coaches who WANT "Hard Knocks." But there's just not as much of that resistance with the Commanders compared to the other teams.

The Commanders would make for compelling TV. If Josh Harris' isn't approved by the start of training camp (when filming begins), it's all but a lock he'd be voted in by the end of preseason. We have already seen new coaches and even a relocation (Rams in '16) featured.

Kazmeir Allen has the Commanders' attention for the skill set he brings to the roster. He'll be one of the options they'll consider as a return specialist during training camphttps://t.co/AvzbPrEa2p

Saquon Barkley on the RB market: "They tagged the top 3 guys. We didn't even get a chance to hit the open market. They put the cap at $10M. And when they have the tag, they have all the leverage. That's the reality."

Honest answer here:

The whole rookie contract system should be overhauled, but: a) owners lurve the built-in price control of 4-5 year deals and b) unions tend to capitulate on items that impact INCOMING members, not the folks voting. (See, teacher starting salaries vs top-of-scale salaries). https://t.co/nadkneKclv

Push for an 18th game would be my immediate guess. Players need to be prepared to ask for a ton of concessions in return if the owners go that route.

— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) June 12, 2023

It's why last time was perfect because they had the 17th game to work with. I get it. As Mike said it's about what the guys under contract get to help them but if you want to help the players as a whole you need free agency sooner

Three-time Pro Bowl DE Danielle Hunter plans to skip the #Vikings’ mandatory minicamp, per sources.

Quite like all these hidden details in the team logo. Makes a plain W logo feel a bit simple https://t.co/wFrWUnZeam

I fundamentally don't understand the need to Easter egg something to death. Rather than have eight hidden elements, how about a good helmet stripe or consistent, symmetrical shading. pic.twitter.com/4ssw7bu4CU

I play the long game in business and XFL is no exception. We saw some nice successes and took some L’s in our first season that we learn from.

When it was founded in 2016, The Athletic prided itself on covering local beats decimated by newspaper cutbacks. Some of those beats were eliminated as 20 journalists (4% of the newsroom) were laid off by the NYT-owned site on Monday. My @FOS story. https://t.co/gjLL9Dh713
