• Ertz on Commanders TE John Bates re-signing with the team: “The most dominant blocking tight end I’ve ever seen and studied in my career. I knew he’d have an opportunity to make a lot of money. I’m glad it’s in Washington.” (Ben Standig)
• Ertz on the team adding WR Deebo Samuel and LT Laremy Tunsil: “You love to find a guy like Jayden or Mike or Johnny, but oftentimes they take a few years to develop. For a guy that wants to win now, it’s a shortcut to get proven commodities…. There’s no guessing or projection.” (John Keim)

Eagles

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley told reporters that he hopes younger running backs in the NFL surpass the value of his contract and continue to maximize the amount of money they receive from teams.

“I hope it does what it’s supposed to do,” Barkley said. “Every other position, the value increases each year. For the Bijans and the Gibbs — I know Cook is up, too. All those guys who are up need to get paid. I hope they beat it. That’s kinda how I look at it. I’m not one of those guys, I don’t care for this guy’s getting paid more than me or not. That’s what the sport is about, building the position up. All of those young guys that’s underneath me, when there’s a time, hopefully they beat it and max it out even more.”
