The Daily Twitter will be posted at the beginning of every day (at midnight in Washington, DC). The goal is to give readers a handy spot to check the Redskins beat writers & bloggers, and national sports journalists to keep up on the latest news about the Redskins, the NFL, and sports in general.

P. Smith is No. 13 on this list. Crowder, Clinton-Dix, Nsekhe and Peterson also make the cut. #Redskins https://t.co/YNdSEJyLbe

No. Have never felt they would use one. If for ex used on P Smith would cost around 15-16 mil in cap space. Not doing that. Crowder would cost around 16 as well. Nope. Nothing to see here folks. https://t.co/oPtFMETcFA

I’d be surprised if the #Redskins are able to retain Smith if he hits the open market. Should get priced out of the market pretty quickly. Will be a leave another hole on the defense. https://t.co/QcWWPiK4Vi

My breakdown of the top 50 pending NFL free agents. Thoughts on each player, scheme fit, stats that matter and more.

I will update this over the next several weeks as new players get released and we see which teams use the franchise tag.https://t.co/Y9f1009T3w
Releasing Zach Brown with a post 6-1 designation will free up $7.25M in cap space. He'd only result in $1.5M in dead cap money.

#Redskins have a huge need at safety and Collins went to a college that the Skins are rather fond of... https://t.co/3jWygCbJGt

On #Giants S Landon Collins and @JosinaAnderson’s report, I gather he took personal items from his locker. He doesn’t expect to be at the facility for a while. Why? The franchise tag he publicly said he doesn’t want. But the smart money remains on Collins with NYG this year.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 20, 2019
Where were you when you first heard about Landon Collins’ locker?
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) February 20, 2019
And with the Steelers announcing they will not use any tag on Le’Veon Bell, his time in Pittsburgh officially is over. He is free to go, and he will.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 20, 2019
Bell is gone and Antonio Brown, too. Interesting off-season and regular season ahead for the Steelers.
In a parallel universe not too far from our own, the Redskins are trading for Antonio Brown and moving up in the first to grab Kyler Murray #OffseasonChampions
— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) February 20, 2019
The #Bears are expected to release TE Dion Sims, source says. The two-way tight end was due $6M in 2019, a cap casualty. This early release before the league year should help him.

Okay, I couldn't resist and charted this out now. Draft position by round of current projected starters at QB going into 2019:
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 20, 2019
1st: 23
2nd: 5
3rd: 1
4th: 2
5th: 0
6th: 1
7th: 0
UDFA: 0
So yeah. Starters come in round 1. Maybe 2. Others are Brady, Dak, Kirk or Wilson. That's it.
(this list would include Kendall Fuller if Bruce, not a college scout, hadn't traded him away)
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 20, 2019
oh for sure not, but the point is they are bad at bringing in players other ways.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 20, 2019
Jay wasn't "left home"
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 20, 2019
He was hiring his coaching staff, which was more pressing than him seeing some guys he will meet with again at the combine next week. https://t.co/hpOI5JQUHN
And if you use a 4th round pick on a QB because you're "waiting for next year" then you've wasted a 4th round pick on a guy that is probably never playing for you. So that plan kinda sucks, too.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 20, 2019
Which is why no one ever has that as a plan. That's not a real thing.
Here's how you can step your game up, @PatrickMahomes...

Antonio Brown and Odell Beckham Jr. both play with QBs in the twilight of their careers. Trading away the wideouts could create more problems https://t.co/z5zToZrqMf
— The MMQB (@theMMQB) February 20, 2019
Antonio Brown floated the idea that he'd only play for guaranteed money, and teams won't get the opportunity to talk to him while the Steelers work out a trade. That might be enough to push the #49ers away. https://t.co/Z84aF74Iuw

The AAF missed payroll in Week 1. They told agents that it was a glitch with switching to a new administrator. They told players would be paid by today the latest.
— Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) February 19, 2019
This is so shocking to me. It was obvious there would be financial trouble with any new league, but from week 1, with all the high profile names attached and clearly some sort of TV exposure is troubling. Hopefully they can move on now https://t.co/jwu8L6Vnvn

If Manny Machado really got 10-years and $300M as is being reported, all the hand-wringing about he and Harper getting wronged is about to look foolish. They're both about to break records. Just took a while to get there.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) February 19, 2019
I was told all along he would wait until after Bryce Harper signed because he would make more money by doing so. He must have gotten tired of waiting for Bryce. https://t.co/oK0gv3QFeu
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) February 19, 2019
Now we just need Bryce to go full Price is Right and get $1 more. Would be a huge win for Team Petty.

A Dayton win over Davidson just before tipoff of VCU vs. Rhode Island opened the door for VCU to take sole possession of first place in the A-10 standings.

Scherzer just “practiced” pausing for the anthem in his bullpen warmup, as he does, and Gomes has no idea what the hell was happening. Scherzer stopped, took off his hat and started kicking the dirt around. Gomes was looking around to see if someone was singing.
