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, along with a sprinkling of other stuff.

Tipping the cap to Rich Tandler, if I had a "$100 dollars in poker chips" I'd put my money on this scenario for Thursday #Redskins
— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) April 22, 2019
$60 on Rosen to Skins
$30 on Haskins
$10 on Lock
Pretty confident we are walking away with a QB.
Thoughts? How would you bet?
From @gmfb: The #AZCardinals have two parallel universes, one where everyone thinks they are taking Kyler Murray, the other with Josh Rosen on the field for veteran minicamp. ... By the way, they have not recently made trade calls centered around Rosen. pic.twitter.com/vadyltBZi2

The Redskins, sitting at 6-7 in early December, tried to hurry rehab on Colt McCoy to "get him back for the playoffs."
Thus he didn't heal properly & as a result just had a 3rd surgery on his leg. Only in DC.https://t.co/mmI9oVCazS via @JPFinlayNBCS
The Redskins met with Maryland safety Darnell Savage today, per source.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) April 23, 2019
Savage's range keeps moving. Heard 20-40. Redskins currently own 15 and 46. @jeffzrebiec first reported.
#Redskins hot takes:
— manny benton (@manny_benton) April 23, 2019
- They’re going offense round one
- Rd1 QB, Rosen or nothing
- Three of the first four picks will be offense
- Their first pick on defense will be a DB
Interesting. Common belief is that the #Redskins are the favorites for Josh Rosen. From what I've heard personally, I think all of the top-three here are very much in play: #Redskins, #Chargers and #Bengals. https://t.co/f4ozpqtfe0

Seahawks agreed to trade their franchise player, DE Frank Clark, to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2019 first-round pick, a 2020 second-round pick and an exchange of third-round picks this year, per league sources.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 23, 2019
Chiefs and Frank Clark reached agreement on a 5 yrs, $105.5 million contract - greater total than DeMarcus Lawrence, with $63.5 million guaranteed, per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 23, 2019
Frank Clark and Chiefs now will finalize their long-term deal. Chiefs have two second-round picks in 2020 - theirs and the one they acquired from SF for Dee Ford. They will retain the better of the 2’s, and the lower one will go to Seattle as part of the trade for Frank Clark.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 23, 2019
Mentioned on @nflnetwork I wouldn't think Frank Clark's pending deal would stop the #Chiefs from following through on a Chris Jones deal as well. They've been talking. He's going to get paid a ton. Somewhere close to $20m per year.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) April 23, 2019
Based on @SportsInfo_SIS charting, Dee Ford had 48.5 hurries to go with his 13 sacks last year. Frank Clark had 33.5 hurries to go with his 13 sacks. The two KC moves in conjunction just seem odd to me. https://t.co/dbjXnWNXMN

I'm still wrapping my brain around letting Dee Ford and Houston leave, then dropping so much draft capitol on Frank Clark.

In reporting on the Frank Clark trade to KC over the weekend, I asked a lot of folks on whether he was THAT big an upgrade over Dee Ford.

The universal answer: Yes. Without question.
Probably better than Carr, though Im not sure by how much.

Relax about the NFL paying big money contracts with rapidly ascending salary cap and much more money beyond the next (pending) CBA. Seems like everyone was crying about NBA and MLB contracts shaming the NFL. Just would like to see a stronger middle class but stars get paid.

The first #NFLDraft was held on Feb 8, 1936 at @RitzCarlton Philadelphia. @UChicago RB Jay Berwanger was the 1st pick, but never played, becoming a sportswriter instead. Only 31 of 81 choices signed, but two who did were @NDFootball Bill Shakespeare and @AlabamaFTBL Paul Bryant.

On Ovechkin non-goal, as I wrote https://t.co/3Xghk5H9ue, if the puck is under control or Mrazek "saved it" - the whistle should blow if the @NHL official can't see it. They didn't. To me, that indicates puck is loose. The #NHL has to allow some incidental contact IMO. #Caps
