Standig Room Only: A show about the Washington Commanders and D.C. sports

The Athletic's Ben Standig welcomes NFL insider Adam Caplan to the podcast to talk about the Washington Football Team and the NFC East. Ben opens the episode with a behind-the-scenes look at his third annual NFL agent survey which is live on The Athletic (2 parts) and shares his view of Washington's roster bubble. Think 21 players for eight spots. Then Adam joins the conversation. What do league sources think of Washington under Ron Rivera? What's the latest with Cowboys QB Dak Prescott? Are the Giants a sneaky division pick or a losing battle? What would it take for the Eagles to shock the world?
