Outside of the beltway and they won't be able to hold the Washington market intact. Big gamble on getting lost support elsewhere.

Lived in Dumfries as a kid for more than a few years. Unless something has changed, this area was behind the times in the early 80's. What a logistical nightmare this will be to get in/out of.

So " behind the times" and a "logistical nightmare" huh? Well, if you know this, they must have some clue so it has to give you pause to think that they looked at this spot and said to themselves "perfect!"

No one thinks this latest news isn't funny considering a couple of days ago the rumors of Dan being fired started?

That is no lie there. I live in a part of MD where I can take 301 to Fredericksburg or keep going further south on 301 if I want to go towards Richmond.

For now I think the land is a dodge because of the talk about outing him. I'd like to see it next to the river near MGM. Not to mention his
$48 million dollar house is right across the river.

Commanders Rumors: Terry McLaurin, Washington 'Remain Far Apart' in Contract Talks

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is entering the final year of his contract, and there is reportedly plenty of work to do if the team that drafted him in 2019 will keep him long-term.

According to Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post, the two sides "remain far apart" in contract negotiations.

Jhabvala also reported McLaurin was not present for Monday's first workout of organized team activities and has been absent at workouts since the end of April's NFL draft in "an indication of the dissension in negotiations."

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports previously reported the talks between Washington and the Ohio State product "could get explosive," with reason for concern for Commanders fans.


"The fact that we haven't heard a peep about them getting anywhere near a trade should scare Commanders fans, given how much the WR market has shifted this offseason and how much turmoil we have already seen at that position," La Canfora wrote.

There has been no shortage of offseason movement at the wide receiver position. Davante Adams went to the Las Vegas Raiders, Tyreek Hill ended up on the Miami Dolphins, A.J. Brown was shipped to the Philadelphia Eagles, Amari Cooper was traded to the Cleveland Browns, Marquise Brown was dealt to the Arizona Cardinals and Allen Robinson joined the Los Angeles Rams, among other moves.

If McLaurin is the next pass-catcher to be traded, he will immediately bolster any team's aerial attack.

The 26-year-old finished the 2021 season with 77 catches for 1,053 yards and five touchdowns in his second straight campaign with more than 1,000 receiving yards.

His contract situation makes Washington's decision to draft Penn State's Jahan Dotson with a first-round pick all the more notable.

While Dotson could team with McLaurin and make a formidable one-two punch in the NFC East, he may also be asked to quickly develop into a go-to option if the team can't make something work with its No. 1 wide receiver.

Yes indeed. Now I'm hearing a spot in Woodbridge? Which is it?

They gotta get that done.

Holding out , far apart and when it does. Get done or he reports and a pulled hamstring that stays with him throughout the year . Wash rinse repeat

Winning will help, but they will have to do something that simply hasn't been done for well over 30 years now.... solve one of the worse traffic situations in the country.

 

[Stymietee]

I can't call it, but anywhere outside of the Beltway will be problematic for the new Washington metro area. Gentrification has changed the demographic and economy in the area. People want convenience and being stuck in traffic for several hours in both directions for a sporting event doesn't seem to fit that desire.

We talked about this prior to the draft. The NFL has changed once again and now pass catchers are premium gets in the league. When you have highly valued WRs, your choices come down to paying them market, and rising market value or trading them. The only other option is letting them walk away as free agents. (after tagging)

Why was WR the top priority in this past draft? Well, because they needed one to not only play alongside TM, but become a possible replacement in the event that paying McLaurin became problematic. There were those here who wanted to debate the need to draft a guy who was talented enough to make TM the #2, Instead, they drafted Dotson who actually projects to do his best work as a slot receiver. If they can't make something work with TM, there's no one on the team to be that go-to guy. (square peg, round hole)

Read the ESPN article. Nothing is decided, he is leaving all avenues open. This why I said I think it is a reaction to the news he might get fired by the NFL.
