Ron unprompted just told @juliedonaldson_ that Dwayne has “transformed...as a person” in addition to his physical changes. I hope Alex takes his comeback as far as he can. But even if cleared by @WashingtonNFL, QB1 is Dwayne’s to lose. Ron’s actions & words have made this clear.

Note here: see the body language. Confident/loose. See the results. Started to see that late last season. Remember talking to him about that. Could tell he felt better. Makes a difference. Based on the offseason he’s had... he’s feeling good. https://t.co/HKwcey9b5Y

The Chiefs have agreed to a one-year deal with G Kelechi Osemele, a source tells @YahooSports.
— Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) July 26, 2020
The #Chiefs are giving OL Kelechi Osemele a 1-year deal worth $2M max, source said. After a truncated year with the #Jets, he’s healthy and fills the void left by Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, who opted out.

Let’s be clear about something with Alex Smith - he has not been cleared by Washington team doctors. That can’t happen until July 27th at the earliest, if it happens at all. Everybody take a deep breath.

We’ve agreed to a trade with Seattle.
— New York Jets (@nyjets) July 25, 2020
We receive:
S Bradley McDougald
1st round pick (2021)
3rd round pick (2021)
1st round pick (2022)
Seahawks receive:
S Jamal Adams
4th round pick (2022)
https://t.co/bwpcMjj6x6 pic.twitter.com/1vdNb9zshY
“Let’s just trade all our 1st rounders because we can’t draft anyway” is some of the dumbest shit you will read. Those draft picks cost very little money for FOUR years. Not only are they parting with the draft capital but have to pay Adams a crippling contract.

1 thing to keep in mind- It's important to make aggressive moves at the RIGHT time. This is the right time for SEA to be bold. If you're a NYJ fan, the hope is your team is on the other side of a trade like this once the foundation is built. These picks will form the foundation.
— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) July 25, 2020
Oh, and the biggest winner in the trade: Jamal Lee Adams. Goes to a contender, where he'll play for one of the best DB coaches (Pete Carroll) on the planet AND gets an enormous amount of leverage ahead of negotiating his second NFL contract.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) July 25, 2020
Sometimes scorching some earth works.
If you're a Jets fan you have to be thrilled about getting two first rounders for Adams. He is outstanding but he did not want to be there and had become a problem. https://t.co/OImOtesBVa

Two general managers I touched base with praised Joe Douglas for his return in the Jamal Adams trade.
— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) July 25, 2020
Then, one of them asked:
“What’s he going to do about the coach?”
Too early to say but file away: Joe Douglas now has an extra 2022 1st round pick, putting the Jets in the drivers seat to control that draft to grab the top QB... if they want.
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) July 25, 2020
At that point, Darnold will have four years behind him and would be gone or playing on his 5Y option.
Our guy @MikeFrancesa left us with a final parting gift yesterday. The Jets "are never gonna get" two #1's for Jamal Adams.
— Funhouse (@BackAftaThis) July 25, 2020
Less than 24 hours later, the Jets got two #1's (and then some) for Jamal Adams. The man was magical until the end. pic.twitter.com/27d8oc0iDc

Dalvin Cook’s agent, Zac Hiller: “First, congrats to Coach Zimmer on his well-earned extension. However, Dalvin has not spoken to him in regards to reporting to camp. We are unsure why this was said. I hope Dalvin can continue to play a major role in the Vikings future success.”
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 25, 2020
Some clarity: #Vikings RB Dalvin Cook told RBs coach Kennedy Polamalu he plans to report to training camp, per source. Polamalu relayed that to coach Mike Zimmer, who has texted with Cook tonight to straighten things out.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) July 26, 2020
Bottom line: Minnesota expects Cook in camp Tuesday.

I've said this a few places: I know of multiple teams that have discussed having QB meetings remotely. In other words, they'd have their QBs in separate rooms for meetings over the computer.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) July 25, 2020
Sounds crazy, but ... Nothing would be worse than getting your whole QB room wiped out. https://t.co/ta4AkhNA7O
NFL/NFLPA agreement restricts "high risk Covid-19 conduct." Includes attending: indoor night club; indoor bar other than food pickup; indoor house party with more than 15 people; indoor concert; pro sporting event; indoor religious service with more than 25 percent capacity.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) July 25, 2020
Under NFL/NFLPA agreement, a club may discipline a player for conduct detrimental to the team for engaging in the listed "high-risk Covid-19 conduct." Any player disciplined can challenge the penalty.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) July 25, 2020
A team also can challenge that a player diagnosed with Covid-19 suffered a football-related injury (requiring the player to be paid) with a grievance contending the diagnosis resulted from one of the listed high-risk behaviors.

No practices with players in pads allowed for NFL teams before Aug. 17, following mandatory acclimation and ramp-up periods for players. A team can have a maximum of 14 practices with players in pads.
