Hundreds of Washington Commanders fans made their way to Ashburn, Virginia, on Sunday for the first day of Commanders Training Camp open to the public.
Star wide-receiver Terry McLaurin reported to camp for the first time still without a deal. He鈥檚 no longer being fined $50,000 a day for holding out, and has been placed on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list with an ankle injury.
While he remains under contract for this season, he’s aiming for a new long-term deal.
McLaurin spent the day on the side fields with trainers. He even took some time to sign autographs for fans.
Aaron Hill is at his third consecutive training camp. When asked what he鈥檚 most looking forward to this upcoming season, Hill said:
鈥淢cLaurin being back. But I’m waiting to see that fine line print 鈥� 34,聽 nothing less than $34 million a season. He deserves it,鈥� Hill said.
Several other fans agreed with the sentiment, including Christian Smith, who鈥檚 been a fan for 29 years.
鈥淜ey for us to get [to the Super Bowl]? Sign [McLaurin], pay the man. Pay him. Everything else, we good to go,鈥� Smith said. 鈥淭here’s nothing else, man. If we want to get to another championship or even in the playoffs, we gonna need our number one guy.鈥�
Akeisha Gray, who鈥檚 visiting from Baltimore, said she got up at 5 a.m. to secure her spot close to the practice field.
鈥淪o, we actually ended up being number 10 in line. So, it was all worth it. Early bird gets the worm,鈥� Gray said.
She predicts Washington will end up with the same record as last year, and while McLaurin鈥檚 contract hasn鈥檛 been finalized yet, Gray said she鈥檚 ecstatic he鈥檚 even at practice.
鈥淛ust knowing he’s here in the building, I think that builds a lot of goodwill with the fans. Everybody just wanted his presence here,鈥� Gray said.
Meanwhile, Kenny Busic said he鈥檚 too superstitious to make a prediction for the season, but one thing鈥檚 for sure:
鈥淚’m hoping that [McLaurin鈥檚] ankle injury is fake,鈥� Busic said.
