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.

The NFL is still investigating the Reuben Foster situation according to a league spokesperson told a couple of us at the NFL’s annual meeting. They’re still gathering information and there is no timeline. The decision on Kareem Hunt has no bearing on the timeline for Foster.

Redskins' Colt McCoy: Still laboring with crutches https://t.co/G7jREydu2r via @CBSSports
— Scott Jennings (@HunterLoganX) March 24, 2019
Colt wasn’t on crutches at the end of the season. He is today. Complete silence from people I’ve asked about this so far. That silence will last until Tuesday morning at the latest when Jay Gruden has the coach’s breakfast here at the owners meetings. https://t.co/qEFNkJS9Zs

The #Redskins currently have more QB’s on crutches (2) than not (1).
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) March 24, 2019
I really want Josh Rosen. Dude had a practice squad roster around him with a defensive minded first year Head Coach. He’s young, talented, and going to have a huge chip on his shoulder if AZ does get rid of him after only one season.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has announced his retirement from the NFL.

Rob Gronkowski announces his retirement after 9 years.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) March 24, 2019
That means Brady, who was already 32 when Gronk was drafted, who’ll now have a pre-Gronk, Gronk and post-Gronk stretch of his career. That is wild. https://t.co/947JNpsYb3
Rob Gronkowski has retired. Announced it on Instagram just now. pic.twitter.com/5fUqqIcAgd

I wouldn't advocate trading Jordan Reed. I think he's far too important to the #Redskins offense, even with his injury history. He also probably doesn't fit the Pats because he doesn't block. But he could fill some of the Gronk void for the Pats as a receiving TE
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) March 24, 2019
Of course @RobGronkowski is retiring now.
— Rich Eisen (@richeisen) March 24, 2019
If he’s a first ballot Hall or Famer, that means he’ll be enshrined in 6 years after playing 9.
As Matthew Slater said when I asked him about Gronk on Super Bowl week:
— Mike Jones (@ByMikeJones) March 24, 2019
“Certainly, no one has had MORE fun ... No matter what he accomplishes or what he’s done, accolades, he’s always the same old fun-loving Rob, just having a good time playing football.”https://t.co/vvHr1EmWvT
Best way to describe his legacy: For a period of time @RobGronkowski played tight end at a higher level than it had ever been played.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) March 24, 2019
And he fought his ass off, through injuries, to keep it going the last few years. Good for him, that he gets to go out on his terms.
We (I'm guilty as well) use the word dominant too much when discussing players. That word should be reserved for the rare talents like Rob Gronkowski. He was unstoppable! In the passing game AND the running game. Special, special player. A dominant force.

Brief respite from vacation to check Internet. Gronk retirement is a bummer. I now return to ignoring everything until next week.

Jeremy Maclin announced his retirement today at his wife’s baby shower. The #Eagles’ 2009 first-round pick had 514 catches for 6,835 yards and 49 TDs in his career. Has been battling a nagging hamstring injury of late. https://t.co/HNV2uP839j

The #Steelers contract talks w/ Ben Roethlisberger are “still ongoing,” GM Kevin Colbert said. “This is probably his last contract as an NFL player, so it’s significant” - to the player and club, he said.

Now that more contracts have been added in OTC's database, the comp pick program is now showing players who signed for the minimum salary benefit amount of $895,000 as not qualifying as compensatory free agents.

The list now up on OTC's draft page is closer to what I expected. pic.twitter.com/ur8YuVtvyq
NFL competition committee voted, 7-1, in favor of Broncos’ fourth-and-15 proposal. Only dissenting vote was by Giants’ John Mara, who said: “What are we, the Arena Football League?”

NCAA wi-fi story, since it's a thing...VCU once brought a recruit into town and put him up at a downtown hotel. The kid billed the wi-fi to the room, so the school paid the bill. It was deemed an impermissible benefit.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) March 25, 2019
VCU self-reported, promised to do better, and the NCAA didn't pursue it. But...yeah...it's a thing.

There is a rat in the kitchen. Voter turnout was estimated above 80% and is now at 66% lower than in 2011. Election Commission chairman Itthiporn Boonprakong refuses to explain why he does not want to announce the results and Future Forward Party cancels news conference.
