As Draymond Green told Warriors GM Bob Myers, there are 82-game players and then there are 16-game players.
And right now, Julius Randle is looking like an 82-game player.
Andrew Luck retired from football in 2019. But the Washington Commanders were hoping they could change his mind.
Before the 2022 season, the Commanders didn’t have a solid plan for the quarterback position. With Taylor Heinicke at the top of their depth chart, the team scoured the market.
