A traditional telecast will air simultaneously on NBC Sports Washington. The network offered similar contests last season for the NBA’s Washington Wizards. Increased ratings and fan engagement were among the benefits from the eight gambling-focused Wizards telecasts, NBC Sports Washington General Manager Damon Phillips told the Associated Press.Throughout the Redskins’ four preseason games, viewers can tune into NBC Sports Washington Plus and play the interactive game for free as $1,000 is given away to one winner each quarter.These interactive in-game gambling challenges promise to liven up the preseason, which has traditionally been a snooze-fest for casual football fans due to the unknown players and lower level of competition. With no cost or risk for fans, it’s hard to see a downside to what will likely be an exciting new development for Redskins fans. Those who aren’t interested in viewing the innovating telecast can tune into NBC Sports Washington and avoid it entirely.Hardcore, committed fans will likely watch preseason football either way, but casual fans or individuals interested in sports betting could become engaged like never before. Lifelong Redskins fans feel attached to the team and will be locked in regardless Earnest Byner Jersey , but for others, having a chance to win money will draw in and keep their attention in an otherwise meaningless game.For NBC, the decision appears to be a no-brainer and a can’t-lose situation. The network can draw more viewers and expand its audience, increase engagement, and appeal to what’s likely to be a younger demographic without risking alienating people uninterested in the new telecast, since there’s an option for both.

Speculation has been running rampant that the Cardinals, with new head coach Kliff Kingsbury Dustin Hopkins Jersey , want to take Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray with the #1 overall pick. This becomes an issue for the team, because they just traded a 3rd and 5th round pick to move up 5 spots in the 1st round of last year’s draft to take QB Josh Rosen.We have heard all the rumors about what Arizona plans to do if this happens. They are reportedly looking to get a 1st round pick, unless they’re actually not planning on taking Murray. Teams aren’t that interested, unless multiple teams have already offered 2nd round picks. The Redskins lost two QBs to broken legs last year, and Alex Smith might never return to the field. Colt McCoy is still recovering, but should be ready for the offseason programs. Washington traded for Case Keenum, but none of these QBs are a long-term solution.We’ve already covered the rumor that the Redskins were openly discussing trading for Rosen at the Combine. They have also been linked to every top QB, and almost every mid-tier QB in this year’s draft. The consensus is that they’re going to add a young QB this year Tress Way Jersey , despite what Bruce Allen says. The Redskins hold #15 overall, a 2nd, and two 3rd round picks. Speculation has it taking at least a 2nd this year, and a mid round pick next year to acquire Rosen. But everything can change depending on how many teams are bidding(and if the Cardinals really want to move him).Here are some of the latest Josh Rosen rumors.The Cardinals aren’t a lock to pick Kyler Murray #1:The Cardinals aren’t shopping Rosen, and he will report to Arizona’s workouts on Monday:The Cardinals have received two offers, but are holding out for a 1st round pick:Todd McShay says the Redskins are the most likely team to trade for Rosen:Benjamin Allbright also thinks Rosen to Washington is most likely:The Cardinals could keep Rosen even if they draft Murray:The Redskins are still in on a Josh Rosen trade:
