Proposed 2019 NFL Rule Changes https://t.co/NiJI0juv16 #NFL pic.twitter.com/qxgjNMeB25

— NFLTradeRumors.co (@nfltrade_rumors) March 9, 2019

Imagine this for a min Skins fans:
QB - Rosen/Lock, Keenum
RB - Guice, CT
WR - RD2 draft pick, Sims
WR - P Rich
Slot - R Cobb(FA), Doctson(yeah, I'd try him there), Quinn
TE - Reed, Jesse James(FA)

That's a heck of a lot better than 2018...

Well, @RapSheet on NFL Network saying that the Cowboys are "by no means out" on Earl Thomas. So, the 49ers might have to win a bidding war.

Ronald Darby to @RapSheet on Philadelphia: "I love it here. It’s one of the best sports cities in the whole United States."

More on what Darby had to said about his impending free agency and the possibility of returning to the #Eagles: https://t.co/An3vNQLxht

Agent Brian Murphy of @AthletesFirst with a statement: "Despite rumors, #Vikings are not in negotiations with Kyle Rudolph, have not asked him to take a pay reduction and have told us explicitly that Rudy will not only be on the team this year, but hopefully for years to come.”

Source: The #Chiefs are releasing pass-rusher Justin Houston after trying to trade him.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 10, 2019

Another EDGE on the market. Obviously #Redskins would be interested if the price is right. Not sure that it will be. https://t.co/2HejC80Hxb

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) March 10, 2019

On #Seahawks pass-rusher Frank Clark: He won’t be signing his franchise tag or showing up to training camp unless the Seahawks give him the deal that he has earned, I’m told. If they don’t, they’ll only have him for another 16 games... when other top FAs are up, too.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 10, 2019

#Browns are releasing TE Darren Fells, source says. They were shopping him, as @ProFootballTalk said last night. Not a deep TE class in FA so should get some solid interest.

Raiders have an agreement in principle to trade G Kelechi Osemele to the NY Jets, sources tell @josinaanderson and me. Trade cannot be processed until Weds, but two sides have agreement in place. Another Raiders’ trade.

People will have their opinions, but having Mike Mayock in Gruden’s ear is one of the best things going in Oakland right now... https://t.co/my5FCdUndi

— Raiders Beat (@RaidersBeat) March 10, 2019

After the Antonio Brown trade to the Bills collapsed, three teams continued to engage with PIT and Brown's agent - the Raiders, the Skins and the Eagles. Raiders were the team willing to re-do the contract to this extent. And they have the highest 2019 draft picks

— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) March 10, 2019

The gist: "Thank you Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock for saving the Redskins from themselves..." I agree 100%. @HogsHaven @HunterLoganX https://t.co/4K0S4cOpuK

You might hear about other teams "in on AB" but reality is they weren't.

Redoing his deal to where he wanted it was out of the question for the half dozen plus teams that did cursory inquiries.

— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) March 10, 2019

The Antonio Brown saga is finally nearing a close. Sources say the #Steelers are dealing AB to the #Raiders in exchange for a third round pick and a fifth round pick in this 2019 draft. Brown will also get a reworked contract that makes him the NFL’s highest paid WR.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 10, 2019

Raiders are adding money to Antonio Brown’s deal: He now will have three years worth $50.125 million - with incentives to go to $54.125 million, per source.

Where there was no guaranteed money there’s now $30.125 million guaranteed, per source.

Antonio Brown since 2014:
* 576 catches; 52 more than any other player
* 59 receiving TD; 14 more than any other player
* 2,204 receiving yards and 21 TD in the 4th Q; both league highs
* At least 100 catches in each season, 1,529 yards per season

Amari Cooper went for a first, but Antonio Brown didn’t? https://t.co/xQ0kEqrDtX

— Derek Carr (@derekcarrqb) March 10, 2019

Mike Mayock’s first deal as @raiders GM is to acquire Antonio Brown and make him the highest paid WR in the game just 2 months after he was reported to leave his team hanging in a must-win game.

Now that’s a sentence I never thought I’d type.

— Rich Eisen (@richeisen) March 10, 2019

Antonio Brown is gone from Pittsburgh, but not forgotten. Brown will leave the Steelers with a dead-money salary-cap charge of over $21 million this season, thought to be the biggest one-year salary-cap charge in NFL history.

1. Trade for Antonio Brown.
2. Sign Le'Veon Bell?https://t.co/gmSm28lUqt

Antonio Brown will arrive in Oakland as the highest-paid receiver in the NFL, but that may not last long -- especially with Tyreek Hill on deck for his second contract https://t.co/LZTEhJwOsq

Only player with more actual dead money than Brown is Suh at $22.2M on the Dolphins. If we include salary paid during a year before a trade Dareus is the highest at $24.2M

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 10, 2019

Great question! I gotta be honest - I love Jamison personally & think when he's right, he's a 75ish catch per year guy BUT certainly the injuries are one part that has hurt last two seasons. Also, the butter hands w/ the punts affected him two years ago as both a PR and WR . https://t.co/90h4o7rjY5

So with Jarrett Stidham gaining some positive reviews, and even being linked to the Redskins(I know - every QB these days is linked to the Skins), here is the piece I did on @HogsHaven on him in Feb:
