With the Washington Commanders coming to town last week for a joint practice and pre-season game, I posted the following question-
If you could steal any player from the Washington Commanders roster to place on the Miami Dolphins roster, which player would it be and why? Who would you then cut from the Miami Dolphins roster (someone who we at least assume will make the regular season roster at this point), and why?
Well, I screwed up and cut and pasted the question from the same post about the Atlanta Falcons and forgot to change the name of the teams, but luckily, you all knew what I meant. Below are some of your best answers and thoughts on the question of the day-
Alley Gator wants an exciting rookie quarterback as an insurance policy.
Jayden Daniels. He’s on a cheap rookie contract and will play this season, because no one can survive behind our IOL.
Saskatchefin would like to steal a couple of defensive upgrades/depth pieces.
Daron Payne as he would fill a spot at DT where Wilkins left. I would also look at Jeremy Chinn as he would be someone to fill one of the 3 Safety positions.
sdphinsfan wants a possible star rookie tight end.
Ben Sinnott. This rookie is going to be a star at the TE position. He blocks (really well), has great hands, great at YAC.
The Earl says to go get this “most underrated” wideout.
Terry McLaurin. He’s produced 4 straight 1000 seasons & narrowly missed his 5th one as a rookie with 919 yards. He produces despite having had mostly trash at QB. He’s a solid route runner & has missed 3 games total in his career. He may be the most underrated WR in the league. If Miami added him as WR3 in this offense, they might score 40 ppg.
Yarganaught already got his wish fulfilled.
I would totally steal Fuller… Oops, looks like we already did!
JKBMia has a list that includes the rookie QB, a center, a tackle, and a defensive lineman.
Liked Biadasz a lot coming out of school was bummed we didn’t draft him then.
Likely him, Cosmi or DPayne. Something to plug the holes we have in the middle.
Looking at cutting Driscoll on OL or Pili/Gallimlre on DT.
dedstrk316 would like to execute the old steal and trade move.
I love Jayden Daniels but would I steal him since we just signed Tua? Yes, steal him and trade him for picks.
Dolfanjoe is down with taking Sinnott away from the Commanders.
They drafted a young TE who may be the real thing! All around and young!
21Dave wants a nasty defensive tackle.
D.Payne we can always use an upgrade on IDL!! Not sure any OL would be a up grade from what we have.
phinette wants an upgrade at center. Me too, me too!
Hands down Tyler Biadasz. It will be interesting to see how Luke McCarthy does. I noticed he is taking first team reps.
TheRoo1 wants a new name for the Commanders that fits their region. I suggest the Washington Con Men!?!
Teams names should reflect the city it represents. Dolphins fits Miami. Likewise Cowboys fit Dallas and so on.
For DC, the Federal fuqqups would be appropriate.
72Phins4ever wants to trade a crap backup QB for a center. If Grier could pull that off, he would deserve the GM of the year award. Is there an award for that?
Tyler Biadasz give them Mike White and his cap hit.
SuperG!, we are all with you. Literally every Miami Dolphins fan agrees with you!
Which Commanders would I steal? I have no idea. Who do they got on the IOL? It’s gotta be better than what we got there.
daytonadolfan must know something that the rest of us do not.
Can we get their water boy?
There are a lot of great suggestions, especially for anyone who can play along the offensive line. I can not tell you how concerned I am that the entire season could be derailed based on the lack of quality across the offensive line. I’m still hoping for a trade or two to upgrade the line. As always, thank you to each of you who took the time to answer the question of the day.

Jayden Daniels Reacts to Being Named Washington Commanders Starting Quarterback

ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Commanders announced Monday that Jayden Daniels will be the starting quarterback this season.
It’s not a result that surprises anyone, but the announcement is big regardless as the expectation becomes reality for the Commanders and general manager Adam Peters’ first ever NFL Draft selection.
For Washington head coach Dan Quinn, the announcement is a culmination of the process the team started back in April when Daniels was first drafted, and was rooted in growth, competition, and earning everything – with nothing given.
Daniels said after the announcement he appreciates earning the job based on his NFL merits and not what he did in college with the Arizona State Sun Devils and LSU Tigers, where he won the Heisman Trophy.

“(It’s) just a blessing that DQ and AP trust me to go out there and lead the team, lead the franchise to hopefully win some games,” Daniels said in his press conference following the announcement. “So big ups to them. It’s a blessing. Something I dreamt about as a kid to be at this moment, to experience this moment.”
Daniels also called the experience surreal, thanking God as well as his family and teammates – basically everyone who has supported or helped him along the way.
Unlike No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, who the Chicago Bears crowned internally before drafting and externally not long after, Daniels was expected to prove he was ready for the job before getting it. Something he says he appreciates, and speaks to the authenticity in both Peters and Quinn.
“Everything in life – you got to earn it. Nothing’s given,” Daniels said. “You got to earn your right to stay. You got to earn your right on the field in the position. So to be able to go out there and compete, it makes everybody better. So what they preach, they hold true to that.”
And that means Daniels will get to compete even more. Maybe not as much in the team’s preseason finale this Sunday, but in the regular season, where it’ll start with Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and end as far as Daniels, Quinn, Peters, and all the Commanders involved can take the franchise.

Celebrity Hosts for This Week’s DNC Revealed
The Democratic National Convention will play out like an awards show in Chicago this week, with four hosts set to helm the event in total—one for each night of the convention, officials told CNN.
Those hosts are; Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn, Mindy Kaling and Ana Navarro.
Each is expected to open the night with their own introduction, then will return throughout the night to anchor the event and introduce new segments. The convention will hold a different theme each night, including: “For the People” on Monday, “A Bold Vision for America’s Future” on Tuesday, “A Fight for Our Freedoms” on Wednesday, and “For Our Future” on Thursday.
Washington, who helms her own political nonprofit, Influence Change, will host the convention’s big night on Thursday, when Vice President Kamala Harris will formally accept the Democratic presidential nomination. Harris officially became the Democratic Party’s nominee for President on Aug. 6 after receiving a majority of votes on a virtual roll call.
Goldwyn will host Monday night, Navarro on Tuesday and Kaling on Wednesday.
All four have been vocal supporters of the Democratic Party. Washington, star of Scandal, opened the third night of the 2020 convention. Her Scandal co-star, Goldwyn, recently attended an event with then-presumptive nominee Joe Biden, while Kaling appeared alongside Harris in a 2020 video where the pair cooked a South Indian dish.
Navarro, a co-host of The View, is a Republican, but has been more friendly to the Democratic side in recent years and says she supports Harris.
Joe Biden is scheduled to deliver Monday night’s keynote address, while first lady Jill Biden is also expected to speak that night, according to The Washington Post.
“Our convention is an opportunity to bring the story of our party to the American people — not just the story of what we’ve achieved under the Biden-Harris administration, but how the Harris-Walz ticket is planning to build on that historic record for a new way forward into the future,” said Convention Chair Minyon Moore. “The story here is simple and it’s one that will resonate with Americans across the country: Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are fighting for the American people and America’s future — Donald Trump is only fighting for himself.”
Also on the speaker list, according to The Post: former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton; former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton; Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer; House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries; and former first lady Michelle Obama.

Falcons release James Washington
Safety Justin Simmons is officially a member of the Falcons and wide receiver James Washington is officially off the team’s 90-man roster.
The Falcons announced Simmons’s agreement on a one-year deal with the team on Sunday. They also announced that they have released Washington.
Washington signed with the Falcons in late July and did not catch a pass in either of the team’s first two preseason games. The veteran spent time with the Colts and Saints last year, but last appeared in a regular season game with the Cowboys in 2022. He also played 60 games for the Steelers and has 114 catches for 1,629 yards and 11 touchdowns for his career.
Simmons joins Jessie Bates, Richie Grant, Hellams and Micah Abernathy as safety options in Atlanta.
