Commanders' Dyami Brown: 'It wouldn't be problem staying'
Will Dyami Brown be wearing Burgundy and Gold next season?
Does Brown sincerely want to return next season to play for the Commanders?
Brown and his Commanders teammates were at the Ashburn facility Monday, clearing out their lockers.
7 News DC's Scott Abraham caught up with Brown and chatted briefly. The former North Carolina Tar Heel expressed gratitude and appreciation for all of his Commanders' teammates.
"Every locker room is different every year," noted Brown. "You have new guys coming in and some guys leave. At the end of the day, we just want to show that gratitude to each other and wish them the best of luck."
Brown completed his rookie contract and now becomes a free agent this offseason. Knowing this, Abraham directly asked Brown, "Let me ask you this, do you want to stay here?"
Brown laughed and said, "It wouldn't be a problem staying."

Well, that was certainly not a very persuasive response. Brown had the opportunity to express he wanted to play for Dan Quinn and with Jayden Daniels. Yet he laughed, and then the best he could offer in response was, "It wouldn't be a problem staying"?
Brown continued, "But you know, at the end of the day, it is still a business. So, we'll see."
Brown was sixth this season in team receptions (30), receiving yards (308), receiving first downs (13). Averaging 10.3 yards per reception was seventh best, and he was one of four to have one receiving touchdown.

NFL Trade Idea Lands Aaron Rodgers a Disgruntled Commander
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Since last week, it became clear the Washington Commanders aren't on the greatest of terms with their star wide receiver, Terry McLaurin. Heading into the final season of his current contract, McLaurin wants a new deal before he gets going for the 2025 NFL season. The Commanders fired up OTAs in the spring, and McLaurin made a silent statement by not being around the team. Since the sessions were voluntary, McLaurin's absence didn't hold that much weight. The same can't be said about McLaurin's decision not to show up for this week's set of offseason practices. Right now, there's a bit of a standstill going on. As a result, there's at least some level of doubt surrounding McLaurin's future with the Commanders. Without a new contract in place for the veteran wideout, Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox kicked around a trade idea that would gift the Pittsburgh Steelers and their new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, the disgruntled star pass-catcher. In the hypothetical deal, the Commanders would acquire a 2026 first-round pick from the Steelers and a 2027 fifth-round pick, which would come from the Dallas Cowboys.

Aller/Getty Images "If the Steelers were ever going to go all-in on a season, this is the one," Knox wrote. "...Though Rodgers had a largely forgettable season with the Jets in 2024, he was coming back from a torn Achilles. In theory, the 41-year-old will be an upgrade over last year's duo of Fields and Russell Wilson. If the Steelers hope to make a legitimate run at a Super Bowl with Rodgers, however, they should look for all of the receiver help they can get. McLaurin, who is a pristine route-runner who can attack all areas of the field, would complement Rodgers well." Acquiring McLaurin certainly wouldn't come cheap for Pittsburgh. However, if they want to maximize the gamble of bringing on Aaron Rodgers, who could end up being a one-year rental, McLaurin could bring a lot of value to the field. Last season, McLaurin appeared in 17 games for the Commanders. He formed a solid connection with Washington's first-round rookie, Jayden Daniels. The veteran wideout caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and scored 13 touchdowns. McLaurin added a second Pro Bowl nod to his resume and became an All-Pro for the first time in his career. While picking up McLaurin in this scenario would be a move to stack up weapons for the 41-year-old Rodgers to try and win right away, the Steelers would get an opportunity to secure a proven star receiver for years to come. So far, the Commanders haven't reached a point of no return with McLaurin. Comments from Jayden Daniels and the head coach, Dan Quinn, suggest that everybody but McLaurin's reps and the Washington front office are on the same page. McLaurin might be a holdout right now, but the Commanders seem confident that the situation will get resolved soon.

NBA Player Sends Message After Being Released by Celtics in 2019
NBA Player Sends Message After Being Released by Celtics in 2019 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Back in 2016, the Boston Celtics had a major rookie class that consisted of a few important names. Most notably, with the third overall pick that yet, Boston drafted Jaylen Brown. Brown is still a part of the Celtics and was crucial to their championship victory in 2024, earning Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals MVP honors. Advertisement In addition to Brown, the Celtics also drafted another notable player that year in Guerschon Yabusele, who they took 16th overall. The French native spent two seasons in Boston before the team waived him in 2019. Nearly six years later, Yabusele sent a message regarding his time in Boston. Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele (28).© Kyle Ross-Imagn Images After getting waived by the Celtics in 2019, Yabusele played overseas and did not return to the NBA until last year. Following an impressive run in the Olympics, Yabusele joined the Philadelphia 76ers and appeared in nearly every game for the team. Recently, the 29-year-old spoke about how different his mentality is now compared to his Celtics days, and he admitted to it being "completely different" (h/t Cyro Asseo de Choch of HoopsHype). Advertisement "It was a completely different mentality than when I was in Boston, because when I was in Boston, I was drafted first round, 16th pick, so my standards and what I was hoping was completely different from right now," Yabusele said. "I didn't have that much experience, too. I was really just young, and I wanted just to play." Despite being a first-round draft pick for Boston, Yabusele did not play much. During his two seasons with the team, he averaged just 6.6 minutes across 74 games. Yabusele is set to hit unrestricted free agency this summer. It remains to be seen whether he will remain in Philadelphia or go elsewhere. Regardless, he has done a fantastic job of reviving his NBA career after his release from the Celtics, and his status will be a fun one to follow throughout the offseason.

Celtics-Spurs Trade Report Surfaces Amid Jaylen Brown News
Celtics-Spurs Trade Report Surfaces Amid Jaylen Brown News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Antonio Spurs have a window on their hands with Victor Wembanyama. He is one of the league's best young players, and it is expected that he will take little time to be considered among the league's best players. Advertisement This increases the urgency to build the best team around him. San Antonio already started doing this when it acquired De'Aaron Fox from the Sacramento Kings. The Spurs may try it again with another NBA star, like Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown. There's no telling if the Celtics have made Brown available in trade talks, but if they do, the Spurs have the assets in their arsenal to offer, like the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. What makes that asset even better is that it's the second overall pick in a loaded NBA Draft class. Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (7)© Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images NBA insider Chris Mannix revealed on The Kevin O'Connor Show that, should Brown become available, he believes the Spurs may look into acquiring him. He also outlined the deal the Spurs could offer the Celtics for him. Advertisement "If (Brown's) in play, that's someone I think San Antonio will look at and will go after," Mannix said. "That's someone, I think if you're the Spurs, you're willing to give the No. 2 overall pick plus that kind of pu-pu platter of players... in the Kevin Durant conversation." Mannix also made it clear that the Spurs' pursuit of Brown would be contingent on the Celtics' deciding what to do with him. "That's interesting. Jaylen Brown, if he's available... I would expect San Antonio to be among the teams that would make a run at him." However, just one day after this report, the Celtics announced Brown underwent a right knee procedure. He is expected to be ready by training camp, but will this make the Spurs hesitate on inquiring about his availability? That is a decision they now face.
