Commanders
Commanders owner Josh Harris was asked about some of the things he was most proud of this season.
โI think I made the right leadership choices, and [Team President] Mark Clouse is now in the building, in the business, and weโre going to be a leader on the business side,” Harris said, via CommandersWire.com. โMy most important three jobs were picking a coach, picking a GM, and then picking someone to lead the business. And I feel great about where we are and the leadership we have in place. I feel super proud obviously of how excited and happy the Washington community is too, and the reawakening of Washington football. And thatโs everything from how we played on the field and what we did on the field. And really, I mean, obviously, we won four games last year, and to be going to the NFC Championship, how can you not be proud of that? Thereโs very few things in the DMV that unites the whole DMV, and the Washington Commanders is front of the list. And so, thatโs probably the thing I feel most proud about, that people here are appreciative of Washington football again like I felt when I was growing up. And so, letโs keep it going.โ
Eagles
Eagles LB Zack Baun has proven himself to be a game-wrecking player this season and spoke about his return to New Orleans for the Super Bowl. Previously, he called the city home after the Saints moved up to draft him in 2020 but he was eventually relegated to playing special teams.
He is now expected to have plenty of suitors and a large contract waiting for him when he hits free agency this coming offseason.
โComfortable, good to be back,โ Baun said, via The New York Post. โBut itโs only special if we win this thing. I was role player here in New Orleans, but the thing is I just kept working and working and working and knew that itโs about the circumstances sometimes. Everyone wants to be wanted in some capacity. That was the Eagles for me. Vic had a plan for me from the start. I was never frustrated. Partially because thatโs on me. My slow development and transition from position to position. But I just trusted the process.โ
Baun won the Butkus Award for the best linebacker and is also up for the Defensive Player of the Year award.
โItโs really cool to be even mentioned with those guys,โ Baun added. โItโs a credit to a lot of people I couldnโt have done it without.
Giants
Browns free-agent QB Jameis Winston said he would welcome an opportunity to continue his career in New York.
โWould I really sign with the Giants? Absolutely!โ Winston said, via NJ.com. โI want to keep playing and do what I do best.โ
Winston said he has a lot of respect for Giants HC Brian Daboll and believes the team is on the upswing.
โI have a ton of respect for coach Brian Daboll, the things he does offensively,โ Winston said. โI think we have a youngโ woah! They have a young roster. But they have a young roster thatโs ready to win. Theyโre ready to bounce back. I know theyโre hungry over there.โ
