#Commanders CB Emmanuel Forbes says he’s worked out and ate “a lot” over the summer.
He says the dish that has been helping him bulk up is Steak & Rice.

Interesting nugget here from Andrew Wylie.
The Commanders right tackle giving some high praise to the new coaching staff and their training camp schedule.
Andrew said, “this is my 8th training camp, this kind of the first time that a recovery period has been on the schedule.” pic.twitter.com/VskP8OBucc

The Washington Commanders will look to Dorance Armstrong to help with the pass rush.
Dorance joins Washington after spending the last 6 years with the Cowboys.
I asked him if the Commanders have some “dogs” on the D-Line.
Great response from Dorance pic.twitter.com/4xBJ5ASdBz

Bobby leads off every drill. He’s immediately followed by Luvu.
And they do this over and over throughout practice. Very clear that Wagner is that mentor for Luvu. pic.twitter.com/GninNfYwPm

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel on Odell Beckham Jr. injury (PUP list to start camp):
“It wasn’t recent. It’s something we’re working through. We don’t want setbacks… We signed Odell to be Odell. We are making sure we get him back on the field the right way & hit the ground running.”
— Cameron Wolfe (@CameronWolfe) July 26, 2024
Sources: #Packers QB Jordan Love has agreed to a 4-year extension worth $220M, which makes him the highest paid QB in NFL history despite only starting 1 full season.
Deal was negotiated by David Mulugheta and Andrew Kessler of @AthletesFirst. pic.twitter.com/5JNuryNkr6

There are now 12 starting QBs earning at least $45M a year.
7 earn between $33M and $45M and 1 is at $25M
The other 12 teams all have QBs at $12.5M/year or lower. It is such a massive gap if one of these QBs pans out.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) July 27, 2024
Of the last 12, how many are rookie contracts?
— Àngel (@El__Messican) July 27, 2024
Probably 10. Minshew and Darnold (Im assuming hell start) would be the most expensive and they arent rookies. Brissett may start which would drop it to 9.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) July 27, 2024
The 2020 Draft produced five of the biggest QB contracts in NFL history
No. 1: Joe Burrow: Five years, $275M
No. 5: Tua Tagovailoa: Four years, $212.4M
No. 6: Justin Herbert: Five years, $262.5M
No. 26: Jordan Love: Four years, $220M
No. 53: Jalen Hurts: Five years, $255M pic.twitter.com/hiEN6SakNA— NFL (@NFL) July 27, 2024
The $53.1 million average annual value of Tua Tagovailoa’s contract extension with the Dolphins falls just below the record $55 million-per-year deals of Joe Burrow with the Bengals and Trevor Lawrence with the Jaguars. https://t.co/oxJLeASUJM
