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.

Noah Brown carted off field at minicamp in Commanders injury concern
The Commanders' receiving corps could be getting thinner. Wide receiver Noah Brown was carted off the field after going down during a 7-on-7 drill at minicamp Wednesday, according to multiple reporters. Brown, 29, made a catch on the ground, stayed down and then slowly walked to the sideline before getting carted into Washington's facility, The Athletic reported.

Geoff Burke-Imagn Images In his first season with Washington last year, Brown made 35 receptions for 453 yards and one touchdown in 11 games before suffering a season-ending kidney injury.

The news of Brown's injury comes as Washington finds itself in a contract dispute with star receiver Terry McLaurin, who did not attend the last two weeks of voluntary OTAs and is now skipping minicamp as he seeks a new deal.

The team will hope that both Brown and McLaurin will be back with the team by July 23, when veterans report for training camp. Brown — who spent five seasons with the Cowboys (2017-22) and one with the Texans (2023) before arriving in D.C. — had figured to be the third receiver for the Commanders this year, behind McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, whom Washington acquired via trade in March.

How the Boston Celtics can benefit from Jaylen Brown's early surgery
How the Boston Celtics can benefit from Jaylen Brown's early surgery On Wednesday, June 11, the Boston Celtics reported that Jaylen Brown had undergone arthroscopic surgery on his right knee via a press release. The Boston Celtics All-Star was reportedly dealing with a partially torn meniscus. Fortunately, the release noted that Brown should be fully recovered in time for the team's preseason training camp later this year. Brown's availability is undoubtedly a critical issue for the Celtics. With Jayson Tatum ruled out of the rotation due to an Achilles tendon tear, Brown will likely assume a leading role for the franchise. As such, his decision to undergo surgery so early in the summer is encouraging, as it could allow him to be at his best throughout the 2025-26 campaign. During a recent episode of the "Taylor Talks Celtics" podcast, hosts Adam Taylor and Billy Calabrese discussed Brown's potential role next season and why surgery could propel him to an All-NBA-level season. The duo also explored the changes he could see in his role and why his point-of-attack defense will be a key factor in the team's chances of success.

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.
