.@NFLprguy on #Redskins LB Reuben Foster, whose domestic violence charge in Fla. was recently dropped: "We are monitoring all developments in the matter which continues to be under review by the league."

Doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen, or that it won’t happen again. But that won’t stop him from working in the NFL. Only kneeling does that. https://t.co/DXaJWZ7NyG

Just heard back from the #Redskins.

They do not have any comment at this time on Reuben Foster.

They also declined an interview request to discuss their investigation.

The misdemeanor charge of domestic battery for #Redskins LB Reuben Foster has been dropped, as @TMZ reported. At this point, Foster remains on the Commissioner’s Exempt list. Here is the document. pic.twitter.com/0aCGYhFlSe

Re: Foster. Claiming him was always a low-risk, high-ceiling move from a football standpoint, but also a guaranteed disaster from a PR standpoint. Dropped charges a positive development for the first part, but will not reverse the second part. Question is: Do you care? https://t.co/8Exfq0eimA

I still expect Reuben Foster to be suspended. League has a precedent (6 games for Ezekiel Elliott even though he was not charged). Charges being dropped do not mean he is innocent. That said, better for the #Redskins they got dropped than didn't.

Internally, #redskins have been optimistic about having Reuben Foster after the investigation concludes. He’s had a locker and been around the facilities. pic.twitter.com/yuT4a7tHaj

VERY early prediction… Redskins, draft Daniel Jones in the first round and start him Week 1.

Jeez I'm just quoting from the story. Trying to provide some counter-programming. Can't believe I'm being accused of being too positive. About anything. Mark it down. Trust me, I'm scowling as I type this.

Would love to see Leonard Hankerson get some attention for the WR coaching position. After 5 years in NFL and record setting career at the U he has spent last 2 years as WR coach at UMass coaching #1 WR in country. Grad of STA where we need help in recruiting

It's already iffy fairness that a 12-4 #Chargers team has to travel to a 10-6 #Ravens team. Making it a 10 am PT game is extra bad.

Philip Rivers is the best QB of his generation without a Super Bowl. At age 37, this may be his last chance. I talked to Rivers about the times he’s fallen short, about the GIFable antics, and about what it would mean to stand atop the mountain just once. https://t.co/puFivHCYbF
