By Dean Jones
We are now in the summer break period of the offseason and every Washington Commanders fan is eagerly awaiting further concrete information about the NFL's upcoming vote to approve the team's sale. This will be a landmark occasion in franchise history and something that's been a long time coming.
The speculation, headlines, and everything in between continues to flow regardless. Among the stories causing conversation recently include Kamren Curl's debut in a prestigious list, a bold prediction that sees Chase Young traded, Ron Rivera on the hot seat, and the Commanders taking a formidable offensive tackle in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Let's delve into each topic in more detail.
Commanders S Kamren Curl debuts in top-100
While nobody was all that shocked to see wide receiver Terry McLaurin feature in CBS Sports' top-100 list, the presence of Kamren Curl came as something of a surprise at No. 86. But according to writer Pete Prisco, anybody not paying attention to the gifted young defensive back should be.
"Who? Pay attention. This kid has developed into one of the best young safeties in the game. He's good in both the run and against the pass."

Curl can take plenty of heart from this, even if it is only one person's opinion. It might also add some extra dollars to his demands when the time comes to begin contract negotiations once new ownership gets the green light.
The former seventh-round selection out of Arkansas is a true rags-to-riches story. One that could make Curl a rich man with any further growth during the 2023 campaign.
