Episode Description

Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss if Lamar Jackson is a historically great passer and Terry McLaurin requesting a trade.

In a recent interview with ESPN’s This Is Football, Harbaugh emphatically called Jackson a "historically great passer." He emphasized that the long-standing narrative that Jackson was only a runner has been completely erased: "He is as good as any passer that there's ever been, and I think now the numbers have proven that." Is Harbaugh right?

Yesterday, Terry McLaurin formally requested a trade from the Washington Commanders, citing stalled talks and dissatisfaction with the terms of his upcoming season’s pay—just $15.5M in base salary and limited guarantees. Despite this, the Commanders have shown no clear inclination to move him if possible and reportedly still hope he’ll finish his career in Washington. Is this McLaurin situation troubling for Washington? Should Commanders fans be worried?
