Former Panthers’ TE Greg Olsen is signing a one-year, $7 million deal that includes $5.5M gtd with the Seahawks, per source. Olsen visited and negotiated with Buffalo, Seattle and Washington but felt most comfortable with the Seahawks.

Honestly, if the Redskins had offered Greg Olsen $7m I probably would have lost my shit. Seahawks deal seems overly generous to me.

While many Americans were enjoying their holiday off today, I noticed @dh_simba7 working hard in the weight room during my visit to Redskins Park today! He is doing all the right things to be the QB the #Redskins need him to be! Keep working DH7! #HTTR pic.twitter.com/Er78vxGhTc

Detroit (No. 3 overall pick) and Miami (No. 5) are the co-favorites (-110) to land Tua Tagovailoa, according to Caesars Sportsbook. They are followed by the Chargers (5-2), Bengals (7-1), Panthers (7-1) and Jaguars (9-1).https://t.co/f1ZUZ5mKcA

Very, very interesting that Nigel Bradham was outright cut, instead of having his option declined.
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) February 18, 2020
This lends more creedence to @BradOTC's report that declining options will no longer allow players to become compensatory free agents--esp. since the Eagles really care about this. https://t.co/bTc1S9IPQ7

With Drew Brees official announcement that he will return to New Orleans, there is the unofficial news that Teddy Bridgewater will not.

#Raiders looking at options 1st. Not sure they see Bridgewater as an upgrade over Carr. https://t.co/rFlnoECFch

The #AZCardinals have agreed with OT D.J. Humphries on a three-year, $45 million deal with $30m over the first 2 years, $29m guaranteed, sources say. Jon Perzley and Brian Mackler of @SPORTSTARSNYC were able to strike a deal with the Cards on David Johnson and now Humphries.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 18, 2020
Crazy the shortage of offensive tackles in the NFL. Humphries has been hurt most of his career and spotty when he’s healthy. Yet he still gets $15m a year... https://t.co/U7yaRbhuJu
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) February 18, 2020
The only real reason I can come up with for doing something like this is to give Arizona some flexibility in the draft so that they aren't forced to taking a tackle in the first round no matter what.

I'd still take one anyway if I were them...but that's just me I guess. https://t.co/b41kuDPtOw

He's your OT1? I personally think he'll be an perennial All-Pro G. Think he'll succeed at OT but will be better as a guard.

First a foremost I want to give well wishes and prayers to @RyanJNewman. I had absolutely NO IDEA of the severity of the crash until I got to victory lane. There’s very little communication after the finish and i had already unhooked my radio. It’s not anyone’s fault. Rocket
