Charles Davis just said anything less than 3 first round picks for Skins #2 is a waste of time.

— I’m Dre (@MrDcSportsBack) February 27, 2020

Chase Young said he watched the NYG-WAS overtime game in Week 16 in December. The loser of that game was likely to get the no. 2 pick and likely him. But he said he wasn’t rooting for a particular team and was just watching bc he always tries to watch the Skins.

— Tom Rock (@TomRock_Newsday) February 27, 2020

The slot you would assigned would be the amount of money you'd make. Relative to the most talented players in the league. I don't think he's going to get it here. I honestly don't think he'll get that anywhere. Thirty-two years old with an injury history....

Thoughts?

— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) February 28, 2020

No way should #Redskins spend “astronomical” $$ to keep Trent. And no way should Ron be wasting time trying to convince #Skins who don’t wanna be here to wanna be here. Trade Trent & move on. No hard feelings. But as Mike Rizzo once said, “You’re either in, or you’re in the way.”

— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) February 28, 2020

Apparently the rumor mill is really cranking up for the #Redskins & No. 2 pick with Tua...i hope they remember he's had SIX different injuries of some kind at #Alabama.
Don't say i didn't warn you!https://t.co/ybR73FKlVe

— Chris Russell AKA "The Rooster" (@Russellmania621) February 28, 2020

So while I still think the odds are the #Redskins are going to go with Haskins, I would say that if the staff doesn’t believe in him and does think Tua is special, then drafting him is the right move. I still think most likely scenario is rolling with Haskins and drafting Young https://t.co/zUHx7JH45w

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) February 28, 2020

You think it’s that close? I’d still think 90% chance they go Young and Haskins.

They’re being smart and giving themselves all the options. Option to draft a QB, option to build leverage for a trade back. But I still think the likely option is they sit at 2 and draft Young

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) February 28, 2020

Wow. Some from @JPFinlayNBCS on latest @RedskinsTalkPod:

-Believes team is working hard to get deal done w/ Scherff, tho tag initially probable

-“I believe Trent will be traded.” The amount he’s seeking is “astronomical” & wouldn’t disclose because it would “incite a riot”

— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) February 28, 2020

Rivera on taking Chase Young with Sweat, Kerrigan, and other first round d-lineman already on the team: “that would give us four really quality football players, so we feel really good about that”

— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) February 28, 2020

Sources tell me Trent Williams may be done in DC. He’s looking for a long term deal at top of the OT market, something the Redskins are not willing to do. If talks stay this way, a trade may be the best option. #httr #Redskins

— Julie Donaldson (@JDonaldsonNBCS) February 28, 2020

Mentioned in here the top of market $$ TW wanted. That means 19-20 mil. Talked about that too on the podcast. Many in org I talked to last year always felt was about $$$ https://t.co/4sk1lHGVMf

— John Keim (@john_keim) February 29, 2020

Think like this: there are multiple tackles available in the top half who could be good. As good as him? Maybe not. Browns need a good LT. Can win without a great 1. He’s also hurt a lot. So now u have a LT for FAR less $$ and healthier and u can invest that $$ elsewhere.

The #Redskins should not/will not offer Trent a mega deal that makes up for his lost $$ a yr ago. The millions he lost last yr isn’t their problem, it’s his. If Trent’s agent told him that a lengthy/costly holdout could be recovered w/next deal, he did his client a disservice.

Walking out of Lucas Oil, a few quick thoughts:

- QB3 battle (Herbert/Love) still alive and well
- WR Justin Jefferson had the best night
- However high you have WR Denzel Mims, it’s probably not high enough
- Lamb still WR1

Writing a full recap tonight. #NFLCombine

After speaking to multiple #NFL sources in Indianapolis this week, strong sense from executives and evaluators is Dave Gettleman is “very serious” about trading back in the #NFLDraft. The #Giants’ target: Derrick Brown. @ZackBlatt w/more on #Auburn DL: https://t.co/0p3oAQwQpM

USF TE Mitch Wilcox popped a blood vessel in his left eye when he took a ball to the face in the gauntlet drill Thursday at the combine, source said. Amazingly, Wilcox finished the workout, but clearly wasn’t himself. He’ll be ready to redo everything at pro day March 30.

I should also stress that the new CBA really needs to change franchise/transition tag position designations so we can reduce these potential disputes.

Instead of OL/DE/DT/LB, it should be OT/interior OL/interior DL/edge rusher/off ball linebacker.

But I'm not holding my breath. https://t.co/qCVd0DB5Tc

— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) February 27, 2020

Another notable change under proposed CBA: Practice squad players elevated to the active roster may be returned to the p-squad twice *without* having to go through waivers. Two p-squad players may be elevated each week, increasing the active/inactive roster to 54 or 55.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 27, 2020

Negotiations are ongoing, but the NFL and NFLPA are projecting a salary cap of roughly $200 million per club for 2020. If new CBA is ratified, revenue would increase from expanded playoffs, which could cause the cap to rise somewhat. Bigger jumps expected in 2021 and beyond.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 28, 2020

With a player vote to ratify the CBA expected as soon as next week, the new league year and free agency are on track to begin as scheduled March 18.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 28, 2020

It helps the lower paid players a lot . I think the owners hope they can sway the vote .
Also expanded squads from 53 to 55 , means 64 more players make NFL squads .

There is one way the #Cowboys can make sure Dak Prescott doesn't go anywhere & that’s to give him the exclusive franchise tag. Sources say that’s the tag — roughly $33M — they are likely to use.

You only know one stat from a game that has been played.

That stat: Team A threw for more passing yards than its opponent.

Would you bet that Team A more likely to have won or lost that game?
