@DeclassifiedWft I hear ya. I get wrankled when "media" is thrown out like this because some people are not really "medi" and others don't actually value their opinions for anything beyond engagement. But, that's all I got. Carry on.

Um, yeah...

Good news: Trey Amos (fractured fibula) is out here for stretch.

Other news: The baseball cap suggests he won't be participating.

OTA2 has begun.

Not pictured: Laremy Tunsil. He was a surprise participant last week. I mentioned then that he would be up and back from his training base in Alabama.

The Commanders signed TE Anthony Firkser and released... WR Ja’Corey Brooks.
