Summary

Ben Standig joins Kevin Sheehan to break down the Washington Commanders’ biggest roster needs, expectations for the 2026 season, and how the organization is positioning itself after an offseason filled with growing national attention and heightened expectations. The conversation explores Washington’s remaining concerns on both sides of the ball, the pressure surrounding the team’s difficult schedule, and how the franchise’s long-term outlook continues to evolve around quarterback Jayden Daniels and head coach Dan Quinn. Later, Kevin reacts to comments from Eli Manning during an appearance on Bussin' With The Boys, where the former Giants quarterback detailed why he refused to play for the San Diego Chargers over 20 years ago, a decision that ultimately led to one of the most famous draft-day trades in NFL history with the New York Giants. The show wraps with NBA draft discussion as scouts debate whether they would rather build around elite prospects AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson, sparking conversation about upside, fit, and which player projects as the better long-term franchise cornerstone.

So I was literally just trying to prep my brain for what you're

were the top two teams. He thinks one year, $10 million.

I'll ask the question this way, because, I mean, we've only had, I don't know, a dozen

1:17.3

or maybe eight dozen conversations about Iuk and Diggs over the last couple of weeks.

But if I told you that they definitely signed one of the two, which of the two do you think
