Ron Rivera expects Terry McLaurin and Daron Payne to be at minicamp next week “because it’s mandatory.” Terry has missed all of OTAs, while Payne wasn’t present today

Ian Rapoport included Terry McLaurin on a list of players he expects to get new contracts this summer, possibly as early as June

Commanders break the huddle, Curtis Samuel to the side field #HTTC pic.twitter.com/cam2hJjaFg

Ron Rivera said Curtis Samuel sat out today’s OTA session because the WR told trainers he’s feeling sore overall following his work to date.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) June 8, 2022
Asked Ron to clarify if Curtis is specifically sore in his groin. Instead, he said that Curtis is generally sore from all the work he’s accumulated in the spring, especially at the start of this week https://t.co/kXGRG1gs92

Sammis Reyes is getting something “taken care of” in his knee. According to Ron, it should be “easily” fixed. It stems from an old screw in his knee from way back. He hasn’t been involved at all in OTAs
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) June 8, 2022
Jeremy Reaves just crushed Dyami Brown in the middle of the field. Ron Rivera lost his mind. He grabbed the entire team for a full huddle and yelled at them louder than I’ve ever heard him yell in his time here. “THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.” Dyami is walking off and looks dazed
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) June 8, 2022
Jeremy Reaves laid out Dyami Brown with a hard hit. He was down for a while.
I’ve never seen Ron Rivera more upset at a practice. Dropped about 10 F-Bombs. Huddled team together to yell about discipline & doing things right way. #Commanders
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) June 8, 2022
Ron Rivera was disappointed in Jeremy Reaves’ hit on Dyami Brown because he feels that Reaves “knows better.” Says he would’ve been fine with Reaves pulling up, since it was clear he was in position. Jeremy took full ownership for it pic.twitter.com/cw78tfoYy1

I actually said something similar to this a few days ago. Glad Dotson is thriving. But take it with a grain of salt. No pads.
One of his criticisms is that he is small and struggles with press. He hasn’t been tested yet. Let it unfold organically. Hopefully he balls. #HTTC https://t.co/49Tb9X9aUX

Carson looks like he wore the shorts, Nike socks, and sperry combo to middle school. That’s my qb tho.

Interesting. If Snyder doesn’t have fluid assets, is that potentially limiting the #Commanders free agent acquisitions and player retention? #HTTC https://t.co/UbNN3mZpkE

I’m pretty sure that Dan Snyder does actually believe himself to be a feudal lord for what it’s worth

Here are the only @NFL teams to sell in the past decade. Two ways to look at these numbers:
1) Wow, prices are soaring! The NFL is unstoppable.
2) Who is going to be able to afford the next one? pic.twitter.com/bHFsOksLSc— Eben Novy-Williams (@novy_williams) June 8, 2022
Source: Josh Harris would have paid $5 billion for the Broncos, if he’d gotten an assurance that the Walton-Penner group wouldn’t have trumped the bid. https://t.co/ubXI0xQRJ7

After winning the Super Bowl and retiring in 1998, John Elway was offered a 20% stake in the Denver Broncos for $36m.
He declined.
Today, the Broncos sold to the Walmart family for $4.65B (Elway’s stake would have been $930m, a 26x bagger).
LESSON: Always take the first offer. pic.twitter.com/AIakgI4zTC

The Browns bet $230 million on Deshaun Watson because they hoped everyone would just move on. But the NY Times did something that the team arrogantly refused/pretended to do: They actually investigated what happened. pic.twitter.com/7p5f9ofv71

#Browns say they’re excusing Baker Mayfield from next week’s mandatory minicamp. Mutual decision. We’ll see what happens as we get close to training camp. Lot of moving parts.
