NFL Trade Rumors
Commanders DE Von Miller said he ended up exactly where he needed to be after signing a contract with Washington.
“I really hate not being sure,” he said, via Washington Post. “I hate not knowing what’s about to happen next, but at the same time, it creates this inner peace in me where I can only control what I can control and I can be present. It just puts more emphasis on the now, to be great right now. Nothing in life happens by coincidence, so I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
Miller hopes to conclude his career with a third championship.
“It was the best team with the best quarterback,” Miller said. “That’s usually the math for me to be able to go and do what I do.”

“The de-escalation is contractually spelled out,” Jones said, via PFT. “When he decided to train in South Florida, he understood what the consequences would be.”
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he expects Diggs to be at the facility training and leading by example.
“He didn’t earn it; he didn’t come,” Jones said. “*That’s in his contract that he doesn’t get that unless he’s going to be here. . . . Those are contractual things as Stephen said. It would be very detrimental to the team not to abide by the agreement. We expect a player paid like Trevon to be here all the time. We expect him to be leading. That’s not new. That goes all the way back to Deion [Sanders]. Deion was not necessarily given to come to the weight room. I explained to him that...
