Stephen A. Smith appeared on his show First Take on Monday and brought up a hypothetical situation where the Commanders could team up with the Baltimore Ravens to construct a shared stadium that would be similar to what the New York Jets and Giants have done, as well as the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams.
