Again, you gold members, you know I'm going to be taking care of you soon. Got to get through a couple of things. I think next week, hopefully before that first preseason game, we can have a little session for you and also stay tuned for that. There you go. And then here's another camp report, folks, but it starts with Terry McLaurin because he, of course, showed up to to training camp today I'm sure you know that now

what does this mean so there's a few things you need to know this is not a sign of progress for a

contract extension it is not that at all I've been told by multiple people there's there doesn't seem

to be a lot of movement both sides are pretty firm in how they view the situation. So it's a good

thing that he's here, but it is not a sign like, oh my gosh, something is imminent. That is not the

feeling I get from really anybody involved. So just understand that. He is, the commanders placed

him on the PUP list, the physically unable to perform list because of

an ankle injury that he supposedly was dealing with at the end of the season.

All I know is I checked the Eagles game and the championship game.

He was not on the injury report.

So I don't know what the ankle injury was.

I do know that I do recall that there was something he was dealing with

later in the year. So it could just well be that, but make no mistake, this is a hold of it. And

that, so that's what he's doing, but he is here. So that's a good sign for that he's here,

and for him, that you're not being fined $50,000 every day for sure.

So again, it does not mean that they're close to a deal.

In fact, I still think this, you know, the way both sides are dug in, it does feel like

this could take a few weeks.

They definitely see the value of McLaurin differently.

Again, a lot of it is for Washington side is due to,

not just that he's turning third of this year, but when the extension starts, he'd be 31 years old.
