All aTwitter: 17 March 2021 - Special lunchtime edition

Unfortunately Coach informed me that I’m not in the plans moving forward. I understand this is a business but I’m still sad to close this long chapter with the Washington football team. I look forward to the next opportunity in my career, wherever that may be. See you on Sundays. pic.twitter.com/jPbIo6vQXQ

Contract breakdown for William Jackson III:

Low cap hit this year that more than doubles in 2022. But in 2022, Washington has an out in Collins' contract (no more gtd. salary by then). pic.twitter.com/mJRuhGeyLF

There are 95 CB's who have played over 1,000 snaps in coverage since William Jackson III entered the league in 2017.

Jackson's 82.4 coverage grade is the 17th highest over that span. The CB right below him is Kendall Fuller with an 82.2

Washington now has the 11th and 17th most expensive cornerbacks in football (Jackson and Fuller), in terms of average annual value.https://t.co/MQSd9Y5M9U

If memory serves, Del Rio has a history playing man. (Whereas Rivera's defenses have mostly been zone, historically.)

Interesting thought from @RossTuckerNFL on the pod re paying Brandon Scherff or any o-lineman huge money. The thought: Maybe don't since an OL is only as good as your weakest player. Better to spread out the $.

Meanwhile, Ross does believe in FitzMagichttps://t.co/3X1MgWI78G pic.twitter.com/1yvQrGUnZB

not sure how often it can be said but: The coaches like Barber and what he adds. can improve here but they're not close to being at a point where saving 900K will make a difference.

— John Keim (@john_keim) March 17, 2021

Thought this was interesting. For all the "do something" tweets, Washington has spent the fourth-most in guarantees since the Super Bowl and eighth-most in total value. That includes Brandon Scherff's tag, but the team is using cap space: https://t.co/QgS4mw1NT7

Trent Williams exact new contract number on his record-setting six year deal with the 49ers: $138.06 million.

It included $55.1 million guaranteed and a $30.1 million signing bonus.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 17, 2021

Thats a great contract for Williams. Teams paying this much for their left tackles are going to compromise themselves.

Andy Dalton was drafted in the same class as Cam Newton.... so far in his career, he has started more games than Cam Newton and that might continue into 2021. As uninspiring as Twitter may think Dalton is, he's had a really nice career as a 2nd round pick.

Chicago offered 3 first-round picks, a third and two starters for Russell Wilson. Seattle declined, per @dpshow

Could Russell Wilson still be traded?@RapSheet: “I would never say never.” BUT…"I’d be surprised.”@MikeGarafolo: “Anything could happen. Russell Wilson could get traded. You could grow a foot tomorrow."

Bill Belichick getting all kinds of praise and slobber because of free agency. Didn’t his drafting put them in this spot? Best coach but what if he didn’t get lucky with Brady? Hmmm.

With Chido headed to Cinci, there’s no denying that 2017 was a pretty brutal hiccup for a Cowboys team that typically drafts very well. Noah Brown may be the only member of the class that lands a 2nd contract with the team. pic.twitter.com/jJBWJFg16t

Any free agent player visiting a team must undergo a coronavirus test within 72 hours of arriving in the team's city and must test negative in a rapid-result test before entering the facility.
