2019 NFL Scouting Combine: Doug Williams doesn’t think the Redskins starting LG is on the roster. https://t.co/3VERXg7jBk pic.twitter.com/BkO0YNQBNC

Williams said he doesn't anticipate the #Redskins moving up in the draft because they have too many holes to fill.

They can't give up picks to get one guy because one guy won't fix their problems.

Gruden revealed Josh Johnson is still recovering from an ankle injury. He's a free agent they will look like, but it certainly sounded like they would like a better option to compete with/back up McCoy.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 28, 2019

Gruden was asked why he’s confident McCoy could get the job done. “I’ve just seen him throw the ball for five years in the offseason and training camp,” he said. (Interestingly, Gruden also mentioned McCoy’s need to dial it back a bit w/ regard to staying healthy). #Redskins pic.twitter.com/S410WeD04I

.@PriscoCBS on the Kyler-to-Arizona chatter: "It’s unfair to Josh Rosen. He played with the biggest bunch of garbage that you’ve seen on the football field in a long time. So now all of a sudden after one year you’re going to get rid of Josh Rosen? I don’t buy it." #NFLCombine

Gruden on evaluating edge rushers: "Can you stop the run? If you can't stop the run, you don't get to rush."

Brett Rypien, Mark’s nephew, knows all about his uncle’s importance in Redskins history, but he’s only seen him play on old tapes. He grew up rooting for the Colts where Mark was a backup. pic.twitter.com/gfsH8avJjk

I don’t believe they will cut him. Was merely what they would save if they did. Told it was unlikely which is in the story.

Redskins should take an O lineman w their first pick. Just one mans opinion.

— Joe Theismann (@Theismann7) February 28, 2019

A somewhat underrated part of Kevin O'Connell becoming the OC is his ability to delve deeper into what colleges have been doing and incorporate that into the Skins' O. Did some last year (jet sweep from shotgun). expect more concepts this year.

— John Keim (@john_keim) February 28, 2019

Skins had contact a while back w/Peterson. nothing new. Not much movement there entering week. still think tricky deal: how much $ should be guaranteed? How much should be about incentives? depends on how they want to handle Guice's work load upon return. AP still has value

— John Keim (@john_keim) February 28, 2019

One thing that should/could help Geron Christian this offseason: He will be working out with Trent Williams in Houston. GC signed with TW agent during the season.. GC needs more "functional playing" strength. will be curious the impact come August.

— John Keim (@john_keim) February 28, 2019

Unless something changes at combine, still hard to see Preston Smith returning. There had yet to be any contact as of the other day. Skins have known for a while he could get big $$ -- and that they could draft one this spring.

Cody Ford also mentions that he’s already met with the #Falcons and #Redskins. He has a meeting tonight with the #Texans.

— Jordan Reid (@JReidNFL) February 28, 2019

Chris Cooley on Dwayne Haskins - “I wouldn’t take him in the first round.” Says there’s a lot to work with him on... also said he’s easily rattled.

Interesting breakdown on his pod.

— manny benton (@manny_benton) February 28, 2019

This is huge. He's going top 10. He's probably going top 5. I'm still not at all convinced he's not going 1.

Murray comes in over 5-10, over 205 and his hand size is just fine. https://t.co/jVTWKgZO1Q

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 28, 2019

"At 5'10", I think Kyler Murray would be an excellent slot receiver." pic.twitter.com/ZGzX5yCKun

— Doug Farrar (@NFL_DougFarrar) February 28, 2019

Hearing some things that lead me to believe if Giants take a QB at #6, they're leaning towards Daniel Jones over Haskins or Murray

— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) February 28, 2019

(1/2) "It is also why the team turned down several requests to talk to Smith and his bosses, about his speedy rise in Washington’s front office for this story. The less attention on Smith the better the chance Washington can keep him around as he continues to add responsibility."

— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) February 28, 2019

From @granthpaulsen via @TheAthleticDC on Kyle Smith & #Redskins.

I can PROMISE you - this plan is NOT going to work by the #Redskins. It's immature, stupid, and a complete lack of common sense. AS usual, under Bruce Allen. It also has not gone un-noticed by #NFL people. https://t.co/94MM2isDHq

Hello @ESPNNFL,

I’m pretty wide open next fall. Something to think about.

Before you ask, Tony Romo is not coming back and neither is Dez Bryant. Get all that out of your sentimental heads.

A reverse of last year: Jets are open to dealing the No. 3 pick for a draft haul.https://t.co/sn6WATwRwR

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 28, 2019

Dave Gettleman clarified on his original lukewarm comments about Eli Manning returning by stating “The Kansas City model really worked well.” It’s clear the Giants are looking at Eli starting with a rookie first-round pick waiting in the wings.

— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) February 27, 2019

Sources: The #Chiefs have had trade talks centered around star pass-rusher Justin Houston. With Houston’s cap number and the potential to franchise tag Dee Ford, Houston appears to be a rare top pass-rusher available. Teams have been calling with real interest.

The Bryce Harper saga was both tediously long and super unsatisfying.

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) February 28, 2019

We have no idea what the sports landscape will look like 13 years from now. It’s really easy to say “WOW $330 MILLION!” but he’s 26. Why not sign for 6 years and become a FA again at 32 when you could set the market again? It’s also less AAV than the #Nats offered in September. https://t.co/4hOSnO0Hp4

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 28, 2019

I get more tweets about how much this pissed people off than anything. And that's a point I made in my blog, Bryce never fully immersed himself into DC. He's a hired gun. A mercenary. I think that's why most people are like "k cool see ya, Soto's better anyway". https://t.co/o8K3MaV96q

— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) February 28, 2019

Clearly Harper never wants to go through this again. This process had to be brutal for him. I don’t see how this isn’t viewed as a giant botch by Boras.

The only reason you sign for 13 years at 26 is because you literally never want to go through this again.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 28, 2019

"He can go to hell." "I never wanted the clown." "If I had a chance, I would spit in his face.” "It’ll be the biggest boo in Philadelphia history." Phillies fans are already melting down over Bryce Harper and it's too beautiful for words https://t.co/glU1MkGcuX

— Dan Steinberg (@dcsportsbog) February 28, 2019

With Bryce finally signing somewhere, what are my family members, friends, strangers, internet trolls, random acquaintances from my childhood, and Twitter bots going to talk to me about now? Will I just live the rest of my life in silence? Interested to see how this plays out.
