We’ve announced a stadium naming-rights deal with @NWFCU

Something to consider – Commanders with a lifetime 1-0 preseason record at Commanders Field

FedEx ended the agreement in February, two years early. That eliminated $7.5M of annual revenue.
The new financial terms were not shared, but the AAV exceeds the previous deal, per source. https://t.co/FOUlmlK9U9

On the #Commanders and Northwest Federal Credit Union naming rights deal, per sources:
— A deal that exceeds the average annual value of the previous naming right agreement.
— It does not include any options on a potential new stadium.
— It’s an 8-year deal that does not… https://t.co/7JayuKTAfw— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 27, 2024
Sorry to anyone that this offends – it is DUMB to criticize the @Commanders organization for selling the naming rights to Northwest Credit Union, because the stadium is in the Mid-Atlantic.
Just a corporate advertising deal that largely means NOTHING@team980 @AudacySports app

Tell me a time when you’ve ever seen Ridgeway get busy like this as a pass rusher?! Lol pic.twitter.com/qJZZHk72aa

Got to develop as a pass rusher and get off blocks better. But a smart, disciplined player. Probably PSquad shawty if he makes it through waivers. https://t.co/2qAmwhlbgP

Gods Plan Grateful for the opportunity to play for the Commanders , praying for another shot
— Austin Jones❄️ (@rockwitaust) August 27, 2024
The Commanders continue to stress the word “initial” when discussing the 53-man roster. They clearly expect it to change at least a little bit by tomorrow afternoon. Waiver claims must be submitted by noon tomorrow.
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 27, 2024
Five of the 7 members of the 2023 class were released: Turner, Braeden Daniels, Chris Rodriguez Jr., K.J. Henry and Andre Jones.

2 great stories this summer – undrafted rookies Tyler Owens and Colson Yankoff making initial 53. Both impressed at every opportunity.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) August 27, 2024
The Commanders keeping two undrafted free agents is a great sign of Adam Peters and Dan Quinn establishing a meritocracy.
Doesn’t matter how you got here. If you can play, they’ll keep you.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) August 27, 2024
Dan Quinn says players on the initial 53 know that there is still a lot of work left as waiver claims come in and then plenty of roster changes to come: “It’s not set here but were starting our 53.”

Noah Brown had a bit of a breakout year in 2023 (567 receiving yards). The 6-foot-2 WR also played for the Cowboys during Dan Quinn’s time. https://t.co/0uEsdx0zhI

The Saints waived linebacker Khaleke Hudson, per source. He’ll have an offer to join the practice squad if he can’t find another team.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 27, 2024
The #Bears have informed veteran CB Greg Stroman he’ll be released, source says. Stroman had a strong preseason but it’s a numbers game in a deep Chicago secondary. Should have interest from teams immediately, as he’s not subject to waivers.

To the rookies especially. This day does not mean you aren’t good enough. You just gotta get back to the drawing board. I got told no 4 times straight. Find what works for you and master it. The strong will always win in the end
— Jeremy Reaves (@JR1ERA) August 27, 2024
One of my regular wishes for a CBA change is to allow players and teams to agree to waive termination pay rights, so that we don’t have to go through this silly roundabout circumvention that prevents a player meant to be on the 53 from playing in Week 1. https://t.co/mYbGh42CF6 pic.twitter.com/N4S8IjA2a2

The NFL’s Walt Anderson says there were no flags thrown by the on-field officials for hip-drop tackles during the preseason but the league later observed two violations of the new prohibition.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) August 27, 2024
The NFL’s Walt Anderson says there could be small tweaks to the kickoff rule but there is not consideration of changing the provision to place the ball at the 30-yard-line on a touchback.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) August 27, 2024
“It’s a learning process for all of us,” the NFL’s Walt Anderson says of the new kickoff format.
