I can't believe we're here. Terry McLaurin is popping off on the team at car dealerships. National reporters are suggesting the team isn't close to offering him a market rate. Now he's holding out of camp. I would have lost so much money on how this played out. That said,…

Here's something I never thought I'd say this season: I think the Nats are going to be able to find suitors for Josh Bell at the trade deadline. He's hitting .317 with a .912 OPS over his last 30 games. He's hitting over .300 over his last 45 or so. Gets on base with BB's too.

Great base-running by Brady House to score a run on a throw that got away from home plate in the 7th. He does a lot of little things well. Good ball player. His average is now up to .280 in his rookie season.

Jay Gruden says it’s time to pay Terry McLaurin. He says the WSH offense falls off big time without him. 👂 🔈

Jay Gruden on McLaurin's worth on the open market: "I don't put Terry up there with Chase and Jefferson.. but Terry's an excellent player. I think he should be in the $30M, $28M range, hopefully he understands that too." Adds that McLaurin's in a great spot with Daniels right…

Jay Gruden says he's "very surprised" his former No. 1 WR hasn't been paid yet. "If you take him off this roster, it makes this receiving corps look way below average. I would try to get him in as soon as possible."

Adam Peters' job is to not give out bad contracts. McLaurin is likely asking for more than a soon-to-be 30 year old WR should get. He probably wants a deal longer than he should get. I don't doubt that AP is making a smart business decision by not caving. But sometimes, you…

Holding out is the least Terry McLaurin thing Terry's ever done. This has to be killing him. Nobody's more professional, team-friendly, or a better locker room guy. He was a grown man in a sea of children for a long time, always stayed above the fray. That said, it's…

Terry McLaurin update.

Just talked to @ChmnMendelson on the show. He suggested the past DC opposition of the team moving back into the city while named Redskins had more to do with Dan Snyder than the name. Suggested he would have no problem with DC welcoming the team back with the name Redskins now.

The DC Sports Bog was one of the most brilliant and important DC-based journalistic creations of the 2000s.

Adam Peters discussing why the McLaurin discussion has proven complicated.

Adam Peters on this season's roster compared to last year's: "I'd like to think we're better.. I think we have a better roster."

Adam Peters on adding veterans this offseason to help in the short-term: "You always want to build your roster to win now and then win int he future. The moves that we made allow us to do both." Peters said Jayden Daniels' rookie deal gives them more financial flexibility.

Adam Peters on paying Terry for what he's done but also what he will do: "That's the tricky part of any negotiation. In terms of understanding the market, understanding our team, our financial situation.. I don't think I've been part of a negotiation where it's been linear and…

Adam Peters on on signing Von Miller: "Not only is he one of the best pass rushers of all-time but he's equally incredible in the locker room."

Adam Peters said WSH was always going to circle back to add a pass-rusher before camp: "We set some money aside in order to do this, and find out the best guy out there. I've had a lot of history with Von.. his play speaks for itself. "When you turn on the tape from last year,…

Adam Peters says he's expecting McLaurin to report. They haven't heard otherwise: "We haven't spoken about that. Just like with all of our players, we expect everybody to be here today." "We've had conversations recently. We're going to do everything we can to get deal done."
