0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred forty two of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Wednesday, August 27, 2025. It is the day of not one but two big press conferences for the commanders. Press conference number one, a joint press conference for general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn. Press conference number two, a press conference for receiver Terry
0:38.3	McLaurin as the team on Tuesday afternoon announced having signed them to a contract extension
0:44.1	in news that broke on Monday morning. Wednesday, a big day this off Tuesday, which was
0:50.0	cut down day. It was by 4 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday that each NFL team had to have its active roster
0:55.3	at a maximum of 53 players. So, low and welcome to this Wednesday installment of the Al Galdi
1:00.4	podcast in which we talk commanders on every episode, no matter the time of year. The team on Tuesday
1:05.3	evening on X posted a brief video of Terry McLaurin with a message for fans. Here you go.
1:13.2	Commanders fans, what's up? It's Terry McLaurin. I'm back. I'm excited to be here with you guys.
1:17.8	Man, I call this place home. I can't wait to see you guys out there week one. Let's work hard this year.
1:22.5	We need y'all loud each and every week. Appreciate y'all. Let's get to it.
1:30.7	Yes, sir. Let's do that. So good to have Terry McLaren signed to a contract extension. So good to have this whole saga over and impossible to
1:38.9	have ill will toward McLaurin. He's a high-level receiver. He's extremely durable. He, by all indications,
1:45.0	is a good dude. I enjoyed seeing that video on Tuesday evening, anxious to hear from Adam Peters, Dan Quinn,
1:51.4	and Terry McLaren on Wednesday. Next segment, analysis of the commanders cut down to 53. We will go
1:58.1	position group by position group examining who made the roster and some notable
2:02.5	players who did not make the roster. Also, are the commanders about to make another trade?
2:07.6	We on Tuesday morning had a very interesting report regarding cornerback Noah Igbenagody.
2:12.4	And also on the show, I'll talk nationals and Dorials. The Nats, they on Tuesday night lost
2:16.7	their fourth consecutive game,
2:18.2	a 5-1 loss at the New York Yankees, his starting pitcher McKenzie Gore struggled for a six-time
2:22.9	at eight starts. The O's, they on Tuesday evening, suffered their 14th shutout loss in MLB's
