Standig Room Only: A show about the Washington Commanders and D.C. sports
Commanders OTA countdown: Why do folks insist on ruining Carson Wentz's contract?
•
The Athletic's Ben Standig is back from vacation and ready to take on Commanders OTA this week with guests Brad Spielberger (PFF) and Chris Russell (Team 980).
Ben opens the episode with some vacation details that intersected with his day job and reacted to a report about NFL owners growing tired of Dan Snyder. Then Brad joins (10:20) a ranting Ben for a lively discussion on what everyone has wrong about Carson Wentz's contract and Washington's salary cap scenario in connection with ownership and lack of spending.
The Wentz talk continues with Chris (43:10), but the fellas also get into pure football talk. What can we expect from a Scott Turner offense with a QB capable of making all the throws? Did it make any sense for Washington even to consider signing James Bradberry? Plenty more Commanders/OTA topics as well.
