Here's the first #Redskins FA signing https://t.co/9zhs3K3O36
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) March 16, 2020
#Chiefs FA CB Kendall Fuller, a versatile defensive piece, is headed to the #Redskins, per me and @TomPelissero. He gets a four-year deal worth roughly $40M.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 17, 2020
The #Redskins have so many secondary issues to sort out I wouldn't just assume Fuller is definitely an outside CB. They like that he can play nickel and think he could play free safety as well.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) March 17, 2020
Bottom line, they think he's really good and will help a lot.
Yes the Redskins have agreed to terms with CB Kendall Fuller. He’s coming back. @JasonLaCanfora had it first.
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 17, 2020
Gotta wonder if Fuller will just stay inside or move him around. Fabian Moreau played much better on the outside last year, but I don’t know if that’s a viable solution long term (or even short term)
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) March 17, 2020
This will introduce the Chiefs to the 2021 compensatory pick board, and remove the Redskins from it for the time being. https://t.co/w5bwrZygFS
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) March 17, 2020
One thing to remember for any long-term free agent deal announced in the next few hours and days -- some portion of that deal will include 17-game seasons, a 6% increase, and is based on a salary cap that will be significantly larger (48% of revenue next year instead of 47% now)

CB I think will draw interest by the Skins: Byron Jones. But there will be multiple suitors so interest of course doesn't equate signing
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 16, 2020
The #Vikings have traded WR Stefon Diggs and a seventh-round pick to the #Bills for a first-round pick, a fifth-round pick, a sixth-round pick and a fourth-round pick in 2021, source said. @JayGlazer first on the trade
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 17, 2020
Stefon Diggs on the move. This convo was about him deciding to come out of Maryland early after injury and his draft stock falling as a result. Ended up 5th rd. #lookatmenow #stefondiggs #FreeAgency #terps (A rather surprise move by MINN, they didn’t want to let him go) pic.twitter.com/Fvzg2Jl6lZ

This was the aggressive attempt I’d anticipated. Would’ve been good for Haskins; ability to win quick etc. But he’s staying in Dallas. https://t.co/SD89hJ30zX
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 17, 2020
Here’s a twist: the Washington Redskins pursued Amari Cooper today and tried to pry him away. Dallas prevailed. https://t.co/DNuD48VV0B
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 17, 2020
Why are people so shocked that Cooper got a $20M a year deal? Adjusted for cap its slightly under Thomas and OBJ and may wind up being for 17 games during most of it.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 17, 2020
If the Redskins offered Cooper significantly more than 5-years, $100M then the Cowboys did them a favor. (Cooper is outstanding. But paying a really good WR $20M plus a year seems foolish at this point in their building process). https://t.co/8G0jkNcpNk
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) March 17, 2020
So, in 2020, it will cost the @dallascowboys 63 million and change to field Dak, Amari and Zeke.
— Rich Eisen (@richeisen) March 17, 2020
Unless, of course, Dak makes a long term deal.
Then its more.
For the three of them.
Alone.
The Cowboys restructured the deals of both RB Ezekiel Elliott and OT La'El Collins earlier today.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 17, 2020
Any extra cap space adds up when your offseason to-do list includes an extension for Amari Cooper and (potentially) Dak Prescott.
What's interesting is a number of top FAs seemed to sign for $1-3M less in AAV than what many were projecting...except Cooper. Redskins must have made a big push to force Dallas to meet that $20M AAV
— Steve Shoup (@Steveospeak) March 17, 2020
DeAndre Hopkins.

Finally have a second to take a breath and soak this in. Thanks to the @ravens for brining me in and giving me a chance in the league. Baltimore was always great to me and I’ve got love for the city, always. This is what we sign up for ! Let’s get to work @AtlantaFalcons #RiseUp

This Dolphins stuff signifies either one of two things:
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) March 17, 2020
1)They are using free agency to fill needs and will trade up to get their QB
2)See Above
Source: #Bears are focused on acquiring Andy Dalton or Nick Foles - both veteran quarterbacks who have played for either Matt Nagy or members of coaching staff. There’s a sense in the organization that Mitchell Trubisky should be forced to compete for the starting position.
— Ed Werder (@WerderEdESPN) March 16, 2020
Worth keeping in mind that none of these trades or free agent deals can be official before Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. There's one just about every year, it seems like, that unravels after being supposedly done.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) March 17, 2020
Plenty of cap space, especially with new CBA, lot of players franchise tagged and it continues to open up the trade market, which used to be non existent a few years ago. This is...fun!

With a league high 13 draft picks the Vikings can now do some major damage and for cheap w rookie deals
— Luke Inman (@Luke_SpinmanNFL) March 17, 2020
Don't count out Spielman trading up for a blue chip player or trading DOWN to stockpile even more picks. He now already has an extra 4th next year to play with regardless.

The league and NFLPA are working on plans to allow free agent players to undergo physicals in their home cities upon signing with new teams. Free agents are barred from traveling to meet with their new teams, and club officials are barred from traveling to meet with free agents.

A glimpse of our world: With free agency on track for this week, some teams are planning to use private planes to fly in premier free agents. Still, those flights require pilots to leave home and work, and teams are not pleased about this. Teams NOT happy free agency this week.

The #Chiefs plan to pick up the contract option for RB Damien Williams, source said, keeping the player who rushed for 104 yards in the Super Bowl in the fold. Williams will make $2.3M in 2020.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 16, 2020
For the #Vikings and QB Kirk Cousins, it’s a 2-year deal worth $66M, source said. In all, it’s 3 years, $96M. $61M guaranteed at signing.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 16, 2020
Summing up the #Vikings deal for Kirk Cousins: 2 new years worth $66M. So 3 years in all for $96M. He has $61M guaranteed at signing. An additional $35M is guaranteed for injury but converts to a fully at the beginning of the 2021 season. They won’t cut him after 1 year and $61M.

Nope. The grand majority of the compensatory formula was never released publicly until Appendix V of the new CBA.
