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 smattering of other things.

Here’s an interesting one. The #Raiders are working out free agent G Richie Incognito today, sources say. Incognito didn’t play last season after he retired, un-retired and then was cut by the #Bills. But word is he’s in shape and feeling well in all aspects. Wants to play again.

Throwback to one of my favorite pieces from 7 years ago... and one I still think about every month or sohttps://t.co/7wTi7LrVrr
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) May 6, 2019
6. As far as I know the May 7 tender isn't guaranteed, so if Ajayi signs it, or is unable to find a contract with another team, the Eagles could just cut him or rescind the tender and move on. I'm sure that Ajayi would find that frustrating if he's no longer in the Eagles' plans.
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) May 6, 2019
7. But Howie Roseman has proven himself to be devoted to manipulating the compensatory pick formula. He tried to get an extra 6th rounder with the shenanigans he did to Mike Wallace's contract. I could see him going to lengths to get a 4th rounder.
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) May 6, 2019
I hope to have my 2020 compensatory pick update up on OTC tomorrow afternoon, but it might be delayed if the details of Maxx Williams's contract with ARI do not come out by then. That's a critical contract to determine if the Ravens will have 2 or 3 comp picks on the board.

UDFAs and late round picks cost less than $1M a year. Nick Mullens has a salary cap hit of $570K this year.

Suspended former Steelers/Raiders WR Martavis Bryant told me he’s planning to apply for reinstatement in the coming weeks. Bryant has been arguing with the league that its drug program is not set up to offer players access to proper treatment for mental health issues.

Incognito pled guilty last month to misdemeanor disorderly conduct, stemming from an August incident at a funeral home after his father’s death. He has been out of the NFL for over a year, so may take a bit for league to gather info and hand down a decision.

How does one evaluate if a kicker has a good grasp of the game? Don't they have 2 jobs? Make FGs and hit touchbacks?

I have the all of the kickoff hangtime and touchback data readily available plus tons of other. They basically said he didn't really understand the game that well if you really want to get right down to it. No real feel for the sport - at least at that time.

1. The Eagles need to lose one more compensatory free agent before tomorrow if they don't want a 4th round 2020 comp pick for Jordan Hicks to get cancelled out by a 7th rd CFA signing.
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) May 6, 2019
If they don't, I wonder if they'd try to extend hopes by placing a May 7 tender on Jay Ajayi.

The Preakness gets a big hit with no rematch for Maximum Security. No juice with Country House winning the Derby by DQ as a long shot. And he'll probably hit the board in a loss, but the race is as wide-open as it gets with a probable 12 to 14 horse field.
