when you tune and don't forget you can read my work on espn.com kind of at a quiet part in the summer

here right now folks so there's not a whole lot going on there is an nfc east roundtable that we

had with that i did with my other

reporters. So that should be up on ESPN.com. So look for that. Just kind of a little Q&A for each of us.

We all answer some questions, but you get a sense of not only the commanders, but also the other

teams in the division, which is kind of important to know about as we get into closer and closer

to training camp. So anyways, today I'm joined by Bram Weinstein, the voice of the commanders. And what

we want to talk about today is like taking a look at five players. I recently wrote about them for

ESPN.com about five commanders who are entering key contract years for different reasons. It could be the last year they're dealing. It could be looking for an extension. It could be looking basically maybe to get guaranteed money. Hello, Marshawn Lattimore, for next year. So a lot of reasons, but they're entering key years and they are key players. So that's like there's a lot of guys who are in a contract here because they have a lot of one-year deals. I mean, Zach Ertz and Bobby Wagner are too. But if they have good years and want to come back, they're going to be back. But with some of these other ones, there are a lot more questions with it. And so Bram and I get into each one of those five and to discuss like their importance and what we see for them this season, et cetera.

So not, I don't have a whole lot to say before I get to Bram.

I know there's still talk about the RFK Stadium bill and the site.

And I told you last time and, you know, what you consistently hear from people is that

the July 15th deadline is going to be difficult.

I do know that if it creeps too far into the fall,

it could impact whether or not the commanders go to the RFK site.

And they,

I think one of the things that's most important to them is that 20, 30 a year to get this settled.
