“Landon Collins didn’t come here to be good in 2034. He came here to be good and compete and win a Super Bowl this year."

As far as the #Redskins QB situation is concerned, Jay Gruden is focused on how the team can win now: https://t.co/NdPjY4RHBY pic.twitter.com/W7Kk4ZySU4

Speculation around Rosen heating up. Chargers, Giants and Pats all believed to be interested. Chargers even rumored to have offered a second. If I’m the #Redskins, I’d be all over this https://t.co/amx76vx4Ff

Still trying to understand why Jay Gruden was so upfront about Drew Lock being able to compete now and Dwayne Haskins having to sit. If they are ture thoughts, what do you gain by giving behind closed door thoughts to media? Is it Reverse psychology?

.@CraigHoffman asked Bruce Allen about being transparent with the fans, like the last business regime led by Brian Lafemina was. Bruce responded by saying that they won't be sharing the draft pick with the fans before they pick.

It cracks me up that there are concerned tweets about Ed Oliver weighing 281 today vs 287 in Indy. It might take him 36 whole hours to get those 6 pounds back. Better move him to linebacker

Oklahoma WR Marquise Brown, a projected first-round pick who underwent Lisfranc foot surgery, had the boot on his foot removed and has been cleared to begin running, per source. Brown still could be ready for post-draft mini-camp.

Sources: The #Cowboys and Dolphins have parameters in place on a trade to send pass-rusher Robert Quinn to Dallas. There are still minor issues to work out with Quinn’s agent, but the #Cowboys are expected to land a big piece on the edge of their defense.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 28, 2019

The #Vikings lost Sheldon Richardson in free agency and Tom Johnson is a free agent. They signed Shamar Stephen but still could use another defensive tackle and they've inquired about free agent Ra'Shede Hageman, who is trying to get back into NFL after sitting out two seasons.

Losing millions of dollars each week and unable to secure NFL practice squad players on a loaner/minor league type of agreement, the AAF could fold as soon as this week. https://t.co/YpHqW8uxwI via @usatoday

So that AAF-Eminem Twitter exchange might actually lead to something, like Eminem having some involvement in the league or an expansion franchise in Detroit. I talked to the league's founder last night. My story https://t.co/Qq37kW2luD via @freep

The AAF is not in any danger of folding.

They're just trying to leverage for NFLPA cooperation in securing players.

Hyperbole ftw, though.

Statement came directly from a well placed AAF source. I'll run it back and see if he wants to clarify.

You couldn’t make this up. Thailand’s junta re-wrote the constitution to hobble the ability of big parties to win seats & create a system that favours coalitions — and then gets all outraged when its opponents form a coalition against them

Election Commission comes with new numbers again. A sudden rise in the number of prom junta voters and a turnout that is suddenly up with 10 points on the same 95% votes counted as Monday. (Were some of the 5.2 million spare vote ballots mixed in?) #ElectionFraud

— ThaiMythbuster (@thaimythbuster) March 28, 2019

As ever, the EC has confused everyone.The most startling revelation from the EC is that voter turnout, reported at about 65% when it had counted 95% of all votes has miraculously become 74.69% with the counting of the last 5% of votes. Maybe the EC can explain this; we can't.
