As @RapSheet reported Washington is expected to release QB Alex Smith per source. Could come later today or tomorrow. No surprise; as mentioned on podcast with Rivera back in town the moves start happening.
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 1, 2021
If designated as a post-June 1 cut, Washington's cap space after releasing Smith is projected to be $56.5M, 4th most in the league.

Washington will move up to over $50 million in cap space once the Alex Smith release is officialhttps://t.co/kDExgeKRzV

Alex Smith's comeback was amazing and should be celebrated.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) March 1, 2021
But he is 36, threw more interceptions than TD's last season, and is expensive. This is an easy decision for @WashingtonNFL. https://t.co/wAIjNn6mrq
While Smith’s time in Washington appears to be coming to an end, I don’t think we should undervalue what he brought to his organisation. He was a constant source of calm and determination amongst all the chaos. Plenty for everyone in the organisation to learn from him. https://t.co/kzjQB153Hk

#WashingtonFootball releasing Alex Smith is 100 percent the right move. Great dude. All-time-great comeback. But he as a quarterback is a costly road to nowhere for this team at this point.

Washington is expected to part ways with QB Alex Smith, per @RapSheet

Alex Smith’s family giving him a standing ovation when he returned to the field for the first time in nearly 2 years is still my favorite moment of the 2020 season. pic.twitter.com/36RtTl0nHT

They had already moved in this direction before the GQ comments. Maybe sped up the process but didn’t sound like it impacted their decision. Word came out today with Rivera back in town and back to work.
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 1, 2021
Those comments shouldn’t take away from any of that. Big shame for this season was having no fans in the stands when he first returned or when he started. But what he did in his 6 starts was special from watching an intense competitor work his way back. Wasn’t about stats.

Another gem from @BenStandig. The WFT attempted to acquire Raiders QB Marcus Mariota, but talks have “cooled off.” #WashingtonFootball pic.twitter.com/13eMmnKMoS

Last Friday, @WashingtonNFL QB Taylor Heinicke virtually visited w/ patients at @ChildrensNatl to talk all things football & most importantly how to stay strong when facing adversity.

We're beyond proud of Taylor for his inspiring messages to these incredibly strong kids! pic.twitter.com/wAPJGfNcYt
I think my least favorite part of the NFL calendar year is the period when we think about all these interesting players who will hit free agency and then they all get franchise tagged

me gettin traded... them rumors better stay rumors... a man go on a bus tour wit his family for 2 weeks and Russ becomes available and social media rumors got my name in a pot pic.twitter.com/xT2gGlrq5n

Russell Wilson said he’s frustrated of getting hit too much. Adding JJ Watt to a division with Chandler Jones, Aaron Donald and Nick Bosa won’t help.
— NFL Update (@MySportsUpdate) March 1, 2021
Most sacks in the NFL since the start of 2012:
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 1, 2021
1. Chandler Jones: 97
2. JJ Watt: 95.5
Now teammates in Arizona.
While the 2017 group is nowhere near inept as the 2009 group, it would definitely provide closure in Watt was an unsuccessful draft class. pic.twitter.com/eHfGDapR4c

I did seriously consider your argument and almost gave Williams my vote.
— Aaron Schatz (@FO_ASchatz) March 1, 2021
I was going to cite how Terrell Suggs and the Ravens were able to reach a settlement on this back in 2008...and this article said a new DE/LB designation was created as a result!
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) March 2, 2021
Why wasn't this codified in either the 2011 or 2020 CBAs?https://t.co/7M1IoPu1rT
Yeah, maybe something was lost in translation between what Clayton heard and what he wrote.
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) March 2, 2021
In any case, this hybrid designation obviously and wrongly wasn't codified beyond the Ravens/Suggs settlement.
One position commonly misevaluated in draft is WR. Big reason is college slots are generally matched against safeties and have tons of zone space to work with. Rarely see them have to separate or make contested plays vs sticky nickel CB, which are main NFL job requirements. ➡️

In my latest QB evaluation post I took a look what Justin Fields has to offer, where he needs to improve and how the team that drafts him can find success with him early in his career: https://t.co/2l6jXdiFvh
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) March 1, 2021
This is what I’m talking about with Matt Corral. He maneuvers so easily within the pocket, keeps his eyes in the flat to draw Marco Wilson (#3) down, snaps them back to find Elijah Moore and throws a heater. pic.twitter.com/z1xlXAwfrv

The Eagles are saddened to learn of the passing of Irv Cross.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) March 1, 2021
I am saddened to learn of Irv Cross’ death. As the first Black analyst on national television, Irv was a trailblazer. He was a person of faith, high character & kindness. To collaborate with him on the book, “Bearing the Cross”, was a joy. His friendship was a blessing. RIP. https://t.co/WG6g2N7c7a
