This is interesting considering Reaves is a free agent.

Starts about the about 1-1/2 hr mark in the show so you can skip all the Russell babble https://www.audacy.com/podcast/the-chris-russell-show-b96bf

Good listen if you get a chance. One big take-away, Quinn said guys are calling wanting to come here. Fans would be proud to know what was going on behind closed doors. It was in relation to a question asked by Russell about filling out the coach staff.

I kinda hope we keep the current run game coordinators in place. Always thought they did a good job and couldn't help it that the last OC didn't wanna run the ball.

Aren't we kind of in the "cat bird" seat at #2? Williams or Maye out of whoever goes at #1 to whatever team that's there, right?

Brain Johnson likely wants to stick it to the Eagles 2x a year. Plus it kinda protects us from losing Kliff for a HC job (college or pro) if he balls out this year.

Tim Hasselbeck has been plugging Drake Maye for months now. This from back in November and he did it again on GetUp this morning.

Yeah, Magic Johnson knew they had interviewed Kliff and had interest in him but this SI article kind of explains the situation best. Per Rapaport, "This is as big as it gets for the Washington Commanders. To look at the flop that happened when he was with the Raiders, my understanding is Magic Johnson, who is a limited partner with the Commanders, was actually the one to kind of step in and pull Kliff Kingsbury back and go, 'You know what, if this deal with the Raiders isn't perfect, maybe there is a home for you in Washington." Meanwhile, hilarious

Probably and who knows but it's damn funny

Chris Russell is saying they have interest in asst TE coach Chase Haslett from Dallas to be TE coach.

Howell has a lot of value (cheap and NFL experience now) as a backup here for 2 more years. 54 different QB's started last year and 60 the year prior.

Yup, you have to keep trying to draft them and hit on one, even with the low first round success percentages. https://www.businessinsider.com/nfl-draft-first-round-quarterbacks-busts "There have been 38 quarterbacks drafted in the first round since 2011, the year the NFL changed the collective bargaining agreement to set a wage scale for rookie deals, making it extremely affordable to draft a quarterback," he began. "These 38 first-round quarterbacks have made a total of 1,909 starts. Their record? 1034-1035-7. Almost exactly break-even." "Only one of those 38 quarterbacks led their team to a Super Bowl victory: Patrick Mahomes," Sharp reported. "Of these 38 quarterbacks, 10 are still on their rookie deal, so set them aside. Of the other 28, only 11 (39%) were even given a second deal with the team that drafted them. Most were cut or saw their rookie deals expire."

IMO - It's best to pair a first time GM with an experienced HC and not 1st year HC Hard to have both GM and HC be super Alpha's because it causes a lot of unnecessary friction They appear to get along well and share the same vision I listened to a former GM, forget who but said GM and HC are literally like a married couple that spends every moment together, outside their family time. I actually believe its a great pairing that can be productive and successful. Adam Peters in one of his 1-1 interviews, maybe Chick said he did reach out to Shanny to ask about Quinn

Man, those offices are sterile looking dumps! LOL

Sounds like Witt is already making the rounds calling players. Ryan Clark said on NFL Live that he talked to him today and he had just talked to Payne, Allen and Forbes.

Chris Russell on The Junkies just said a Cowboys insider came up to him after the last Commanders/Cowboys game and said Quinn wants your teams HC job really bad. Nice to have guys that want to be here for more than money.

Very good read on the entire process!
