0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred twenty-four of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Friday, August 1st, 2025. It is the first day of a new month. It is the day after we on Thursday evening had reports that Commander's receiver Terry McLaurin has requested to be traded. Amazing that this situation has gotten to this point. Unfortunate that
0:41.1	this situation has gotten to this point. Terry McLaurin has requested to be traded.
0:48.0	The contract extension negotiations between him and the team seemingly are going nowhere.
0:57.1	And so this situation now has gotten even uglier. Now, just because he wants to be traded, doesn't mean that he will be traded.
1:03.6	I want Siddy Sweeney to return my DMs, but that ain't happening. And I would be surprised if
1:10.0	Terry McLaurin is traded.
1:12.2	And the reporting has been that the team is highly unlikely to trade them.
1:17.4	But you can't dismiss anything at this point.

1:57.7	into much more about the McLaren situation, as I have said and will continue
2:02.6	to say, the leverage is on the side of the team. McLaren can hold out, he can hold in,
2:09.6	he can request a trade, he can do whatever he wants. That doesn't change the reality that the
2:14.4	leverage is on the side of the team. So we'll talk with Tony Pauline next segment.
2:19.7	The following segment, discussion of 2025 commanders training camp is we on Thursday morning
2:25.0	had the second padded practice of camp. We'll address the continued rise of running back
2:30.8	Jacori Kroski Merritt, aka Bill, the growth of quarterback Jaden Daniels as a leader,
