Jon Bostic with the first INT of today’s open sessions Case Keenum tried to hit Chris Thompson for the screen. Thompson bobbled the pass and Bostic who was all over the play, concentrated and hauled it in #HTTR

Deshazor Everett just jumped the route and pick-6’d Keenum. The Redskins have had some problems in the red zone here and there

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said they threw a lot of concepts at Dwayne Haskins this spring. “Long way to go but I like where he’s at,” Gruden said.

— John Keim (@john_keim) June 11, 2019

Gruden hopes Haskins will be more natural when calling plays in training camp. Haskins is still getting used the verbiage on the NFL level.

Donald Parham and Jermey Sprinkle have had some nice catches in the red zone today. Both physical and used their size

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) June 11, 2019

Vets have cleared out after last week’s mandatory mini-camp. Missing at today’s voluntary OTA:

Landon Collins
Josh Norman
Adrian Peterson
Paul Richardson
Vernon Davis

Others like Jordan Reed are not on the field thanks to injury. Trey Quinn (hamstring) is back.

Special Teams coach Nate Kazcor at the podium. He says the top 3 traits for a special teams player are:

Smart
Physical
Fast

Says Terry McLaurin is the epitome of those three things.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) June 11, 2019

He was drafted in part because he was the best special teams player in the draft. Yes, you do. https://t.co/kSfzq0jfCD

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) June 11, 2019

No Trent Williams update. Gruden simply said he expects everyone to be in Richmond for training camp.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) June 11, 2019

Gruden at the podium. He says Geron Christian hasn’t had a setback. The plan was always to bring back him back slowly. Christian has work to the side this offseason after tearing his MCL last year.

This was the most telling quote from Pat Shurmur today. My sense is deep down he really would prefer to play the QB who gives the #Giants the best chance to win. If he were convinced that is and will be Eli, he could have said that. He didn’t. https://t.co/MYeNckvsP6 https://t.co/Rs9j0VheTp

While you were sleeping... the #Vikings and TE Kyle Rudolph reached a contract extension to keep him in Minnesota. A major piece of business before the summer https://t.co/gxX7rAbFgS

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 11, 2019

Be interesting to see how Rudolph deal is structured. Vikings were desperate for cap space but they are really locking into this specific group of players

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) June 11, 2019

Reports of four-year, $36 million extension for Kyle Rudolph without more detail as to guarantees, cash flow, and structure make me wonder how real the $9 million per year new money average is.

I had NFL teams tell me that Jadeveon Clowney was on the trade market during draft week which is not a surprise after the trade haul landed by Seattle for Frank Clark. It's hard to imagine a scenario where the Texans give Clowney a ton of guaranteed money with this knowledge.

Has two years left on his deal (this year plus the option for '20). So not exactly a "sound the alarms" situation. Unless someone makes it one. https://t.co/hiwt821jAz

The return of Travis Frederick should significantly improve the Cowboys’ offensive line!

A commercial real estate agent looking for a change of pace after 18 years on the job thought about getting a gig in the sport that he loved — football — but didn’t know how to go about it or what to do.

So, the real estate agent, also the son of a Philly-based football coach...

Good thing here for young people to watch -- "The Turk" from the 2001 Ravens, shown during Hard Knocks, was just introduced as GM of the New York Jets.
