I have no idea whether Rosen will develop into a winning QB, but I do know he had no chance at succeeding last season. His story is a reminder that a draftee's success/failure has as much to do with his circumstances (coaching/culture/support) as his abilities. #ContextMatters

— Jim Trotter (@JimTrotter_NFL) March 5, 2019

Honestly, @josh3rosen has had a carousel of coaching and people since he left HS. He had instability at UCLA and now in the #NFL. Someone’s gonna trade for him and grab a steal IMO as long as they provide some concistency for the dude!

At age 33, Alex Smith was traded for a 3rd round pick + stud young corner.

If you think you can get 22 year old top 10 pick Josh Rosen on his rookie deal for a cheaper trade price, you're crazy. https://t.co/cX4KaVZhlJ

— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) March 4, 2019

A team is going to "overpay" for Josh Rosen just to ensure they don't get sniped.

The #Redskins are a team that fits that bill perfectly. https://t.co/RZ5tsVQsEk

— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) March 4, 2019

There's $6,239,388 in the 3 remaining years of Josh Rosen's rookie contract & a 5th year option that can be exercised. The breakdown is: $1,279,898-2019; $2,079,796-2020; $2,879,694-2021. https://t.co/WPTYPByUHF

There has been a lot of speculation about what the #Redskins will do at the QB position this offseason so what do you want to see happen: #HTTR

— PFF WAS Redskins (@PFF_Redskins) March 4, 2019

The #Redskins are reportedly interested in Josh Rosen. What would you be OK with them giving up for the QB?

— NBC Sports Redskins (@NBCSRedskins) March 4, 2019

It’s a lifeline for Washington. A no brainer. Rosen is going to be a stud. McCoy will never call plays again. He neutered David Johnson. Look at Trubisky after Fox, Goff after Fisher. Related, are the Giants still in the football business or awake? https://t.co/ER3iF3RCuv

Ball placement was a big part of Rosen's game in college. Two strong examples of that accuracy here. Tight windows, no hesitation to make the throw. pic.twitter.com/AcFq84ehY3

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) March 4, 2019

Only watched 1 game of Josh Rosen so far, but already seen two significant drops by his receivers. Both of these passes were dropped. Second one was slightly underthrown, but both very catchable. pic.twitter.com/orm8FjiyBi

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) March 4, 2019

Two plays from the Vikings game. No real chance for Rosen on either of these plays. No real hot option. pic.twitter.com/xOEnNOBRK5

This could work and would be wise... But: Threat of teams maybe going elsewhere in FA prompts AZ to give in now? AZ doesn't hold all power. If he's one of a few options? Sure, patience. But what if you lose those other options in FA while waiting? My sense is eyes on others 2 https://t.co/HfmNONcwQu

— John Keim (@john_keim) March 4, 2019

If the Redskins can't acquire Josh Rosen this offseason, then Teddy Bridgewater would make the most sense to me.

I thought my man crush on Drew Lock was big. Cooley is crushing hard on that guy.

— manny benton (@manny_benton) March 5, 2019

Not concerned at all.

I (genuinely) had a good conversation with former DBs coach Torrian Gray about how difficult it is to come in mid-season at Safety and play to your best.

With a full preseason/training camp behind him, I believe in HHCD. https://t.co/VJ5BabbEpr

A representative for C.J. Mosley said he has been told that Baltimore will not use its franchise tag on the Ravens' linebacker, per a league source. Mosley expected to be an unrestricted free agent, without a tag.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 4, 2019

The Redskins acknowledge they need help at ILB.

They also like players from the University of Alabama.

Here's a strong veteran ILB who played college ball at Alabama. https://t.co/e8KvOcoMzc

NFL teams announce they’ve “placed” franchise tags on players.

NFL media reports teams “slap” franchise tags on players.

Which term do you think players agree with more?

— Rich Eisen (@richeisen) March 5, 2019

Already tagged:
* Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence
* Texans DE/OLB Jadeveon Clowney
* 49ers K Robbie Gould
* Seahawks DE Frank Clark
* Falcons DT Grady Jarrett
Expected:
* Bucs OT Donovan Smith
* Chiefs OLB Dee Ford
To be determined:
* Giants S Landon Collins

— Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 4, 2019

If I'm the #Redskins GM, my top free-agent targets would be Landon Collins and C.J. Mosley. Currently LSU LB Devin White would be my top draft target at No. 15. Signing Mosley would lessen the need to draft White and create more options in the first round. https://t.co/6cQd1zwhDN

In the year 2019, Dave Gettleman “doesn’t value the secondary highly,” over-drafts a running back, is open to moving his game-tilting wideout, mocks analytics, and has shown no urgency to replace a half-decade-washed quarterback. Good times. https://t.co/ObraOOkhA0

— Pat Thorman (@Pat_Thorman) March 4, 2019

Potential #Redskins free agent target Landon Collins is unlikely to be tagged. Could he be in burgundy and gold next year?https://t.co/zp5uml8FY1

— Riggo's Rag (@RiggosRag) March 4, 2019

I'd imagine if the #Redskins were to make a big splash in free agency, it would be on Collins. Clear need at SS, already have half a defense full of Alabama players, Collins fits with that. https://t.co/QIqRQuErFR

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) March 4, 2019

More good news for the #Redskins. If they play their cards right, this could shape up to be a very good offseason for them and not in the sarcastic and cynical "offseason champs" kind of way. https://t.co/bVle5YQgEh

— Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) March 4, 2019

All signs point to the Redskins cutting some players to create cap space. https://t.co/fGTa7OTYoA

— Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) March 4, 2019

If the #Redskins were willing to go with a pure box and free safety combo next season, Cyprien could be an option as a box safety. They tend to like interchangeable guys at safety though. https://t.co/oUuKINYzLB

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) March 4, 2019

Yes, the #Redskins reportedly engaged with the Dolphins about Ryan Tannehill. No, that doesn't mean they will trade for him (nor should they). https://t.co/ZzOfFQXujv

— Riggo's Rag (@RiggosRag) March 4, 2019

And this is why Smith will sign elsewhere. Just too much for the Skins. ...Good draft for edge guys. https://t.co/U4yuF3F6E4

For the night crowd: My article answering the question... "is D.K. Metcalf actually good at football?"

Film GIFs, some NFL comparisons, and why his combine story is so unique. https://t.co/AFVAFbRpLQ

— Chris Trapasso (@ChrisTrapasso) March 5, 2019

Once again,

This combine was definitely full of beasts like DK Metcalf, Miles Boykin and Montez Sweat

However, I saw this in person

Vernon Davis
6'3 255
4.38 40
4.17 shuttle
33 reps
42 vertical

I will never be impressed again #NFLCombine @nflnetwork @NFLDraft

At the combine, I asked a lot of prospects how they prepared for interviews with teams. Check it out: https://t.co/LotrwH0Izk

Before officially re-signing him to a one-year deal, the Cowboys had to cut tight end Jason Witten from the reserve/retired list. Procedural move. pic.twitter.com/g8fr7fw9iq
