While the Gruden/RG3 interaction is funny af, it is pretty sad that it’s been almost a decade and RG3 still refuses to take any accountability for not working out in the NFL.

I know I’m in the minority, but I really hope they don’t make a trade for Aiyuk. Trading a high draft pick for a player and immediately giving them $25+ mil per year is not ideal. They have McLaurin and Dotson. Just draft a WR today and that room is set.

We have to have the only head coach and front office in the league that has a great WR trio and decides they want to be a run heavy offense. I genuinely don’t understand drafting Dotson last year if they just want to run the ball 35+ times a game.
