#Redskins President Bruce Allen speaking live at the NFL Combine:https://t.co/kgTd62y4t5

Quarterback?:
Bruce Allen at #NFLCombine says "we have a unique setting" & that they have the infrastructure to handle the QB position. "Our evaluations are strong." #Redskins
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) March 1, 2019
Bruce Allen says Redskins will meet with all the QB prospects during the Combine.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) March 1, 2019
Allen said Redskins will meet with the obvious top QBs in this draft and those we don't know about.

Bruce Allen explaining how they could approach the financing of another QB with Alex Smith already counting $21.4 million against the cap in 2019. (And some fancy camera work...) #Redskins pic.twitter.com/nMHxTRAinG

Joe Flacco trade:
Bruce Allen "We don't allocate by position. It's based on the player."
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) March 1, 2019
On Joe Flacco "We were NEVER involved in the Joe Flacco.." then he changed course on the answer. #Redskins
Bruce Allen says the #Redskins we’re not involved in Joe Flacco talks. Also said they’ve listened to multiple trade offers pic.twitter.com/MURa58ZxS3
— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) March 1, 2019
Whether or not the Skins spoke to B-more about Flacco, it never reached the point where the team spoke to his reps about a desire 2 restructure his deal -- which they would have wanted to do b/c of his 18 mil cap hit. That's when you would know something would have been serious.

New Stadium:
Bruce Allen says Redskins are still looking at “everything” for new stadium options.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) March 1, 2019
Bruce Allen: "We're still looking at everything. We support whatever is good for the DMV on any issue." Says they have no political involvement. Lease at FedEx he says ends in 2026. Thought it was 2027. Maybe, that widely held info is wrong. #Redskins
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) March 1, 2019
Re Allen’s assertion that #Skins have “no political involvement,” he is leading lobbying effort on Hill. Team can’t leave FedEx til 9/13/27. https://t.co/oYgfx1ilU4

Allen says that all options are on the table as far as the stadium goes. Maryland off it for now per Hogan’s comments, but they’re not closing the door.

Restructuring contracts:
Redskins haven’t started restructuring any contracts for veteran players but Bruce Allen won’t rule it out
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) March 1, 2019
Bruce Allen says Eric Schaffer is very adept at maneuvering the salary cap and Redskins will make moves as they need to.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) March 1, 2019
Brandon Scherff:
Allen on Scherff: “We definitely want” to extend him. “The sooner the better.”
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) March 1, 2019
Alex Smith:
Bruce Allen seems very optimistic on Alex Smith's future & rehab. What you can never tell about Bruce (because of his ability to constantly manipulate any message) is he saying that because it's real & legit or because he doesn't want to be gloom & doom with the message.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) March 1, 2019
Does salary cap crunch from Alex Smith injury remind you of $36 million cap penalty? Bruce Allen: "No. No. We're okay."
— Chris Lingebach (@ChrisLingebach) March 1, 2019
Bruce Allen "In our room, it's a great debate" when talking about the #Redskins war room. He says "that was a picture of it" when they acquired Alex Smith, in terms of what they're looking for. #Redskins
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) March 1, 2019
Reuben Foster:
Bruce Allen on Reuben Foster: Charges we’re dropped. No complaints. “It’s time for him to play football.” #redskins
— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) March 1, 2019
Bruce Allen says they are very hopeful that Rueben Foster will be able to play right away. They have big plans for him. #Redskins
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) March 1, 2019
Kyler Murray:
Bruce Allen just mentioned a meeting with Kyler Murray. Said he didn’t bring his Heisman
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) March 1, 2019
Bruce Allen said this morning that the #Redskins have met with Kyler Murray and the other top QB prospects. “He’s very confident in what he can do,” Allen said of Murray. #NFLCombine pic.twitter.com/cjxhJPCc33

Close?
Bruce Allen when asked if #Redskins are close, with potential key free agent defections..."Yeah - we don't play a game tomorrow. We'll find 9-12 players (in draft) that are going to help us get better. "
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) March 1, 2019
Allen says the #Redskins will add 9-12 rookies as well as players in free agency and their healthy players back. That’s why he feels comfortable saying “they’re close” though he hasn’t said close to what.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) March 1, 2019
Free Agency:
Redskins will have their free agent board done by next week.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) March 1, 2019
Bill Callahan:
Bruce Allen "Never had that conversation with Bill" on Bill Callahan at one point potentially leaving for the #Bengals to join his son. Says Callahan is happy. #Redskins
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) March 1, 2019
Business Exec replacements:
Bruce Allen speaking to reporters. He says they’ve hired new people on the business side. He says we’ll get the names from the PR department, but they’re already planning fan forums and other things to engage fans.
