Watching the 2020 season back and Cam Sims really did make some good plays and provide a spark for the team this year. It was great to see him finally get an opportunity and make the most of it. He deserves to have a supporting role on this team. #WashingtonFootball pic.twitter.com/gqO4fQaDmL

From @NFLTotalAccess: WFT QB Alex Smith will be a free agent, likely today, and he becomes an intriguing option in the QB world. pic.twitter.com/8je0UVB5aJ

Has been made clear: they don’t want to overspend (esp with picks) to get someone with a roster they still need to build. Perhaps in another year in a different spot based on how this offseason goes. https://t.co/zBLaT1NP2y

Reports have suggested Washington is high on Justin Fields, so I took a closer look at what the Ohio State QB could bring to D.C. https://t.co/2l6jXdiFvh

Nice point about Smith's role in the rebuild. @Lescarpenter https://t.co/JhyIf6jx8n pic.twitter.com/UE5uKOL9EN

Guessing not. they already have the young developmental guys on the roster. but with the draft it always comes back to: does someone u really like fall to you in a round u didn’t expect?

— John Keim (@john_keim) March 2, 2021

Over the last 10 seasons, there have been 4 QBs to start at least 100 games, throw twice as many TDs as INTs, and win twice as many games as they've lost.

Tom Brady
Russell Wilson
Aaron Rodgers
Alex Smith

Washington inquired about all 3 QBs traded already(Stafford, Goff, Wentz) and more https://t.co/xzwpUmYHko

Despite a massive cap deficit, the Saints are expected to prioritize free agent safety Marcus Williams, I'm told. They want to keep him -- within financial reason, but he will have a strong market. Have also expressed interest in re-signing QB Jameis Winston.

Usually Im not surprised by releases in the NFL. I am surprised by the Kyle Van Noy release.

Statement from Kyle Van Noy following his being informed by the #Dolphins he’ll be released. pic.twitter.com/MrQhrLrSBc

— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 2, 2021

The Patriots are projected to get a 4th round 2021 compensatory pick for Van Noy's departure.

Could we see an Ian Gold/Michael Johnson situation in which the Patriots get both Van Noy back, and the comp pick that he generated? https://t.co/1A7DMTuAtJ

— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) March 2, 2021

Kyle Van Noy is a really, really good football player. His skill set might not be a fit in every defense, but his leadership and work ethic are. He’s one of those coveted “coach on the field” types. He won’t be unemployed for long. Book it. https://t.co/q5kJPp60Uy

The #Vikings are releasing veteran TE Kyle Rudolph, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

Bears are releasing veteran CB Buster Skrine, per source.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 1, 2021

Note on pending free agent former #Titans pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney: He should be fully cleared from surgery to repair his torn meniscus in April, source said. He’s close to be ready now, but it could delay his signing with a new team for a few weeks.

The story behind the shirt is priceless.

J.J. Watt is an all-time great but all the tweets detailing how good he's been since 2011 or 2012 are sort of overstating the impact he'll have on Arizona in 2021. He's still a very good player! He's not that guy from 2012-2015.

Hey, teams, don't retire numbers if you don't mean it.

Source: The #Texans have agreed to terms on a new contract for RB David Johnson, with his one-year deal worth up to $6M with $4.25M fully guaranteed at signing. Johnson stays in Houston.

The Cowboys offense **revolves** around Dak. In his last 16 full games, he's thrown for 5,449 yards with 11 INTs. Everything you hear is just Dallas trying to lower his price tag, which may make sense, but Dak's a stud QB and will get paid like one. @pfref https://t.co/iI9tnMCjAd pic.twitter.com/fmumSh3ZCb

2 intriguing QB's outside the top 5 guys- Davis Mills (Stanford) & Kellen Mond (Texas A&M). Both guys have a lot to work with & showed improvement this past season. Mond made some huge throws against FL & Bama. Followed that up with SR Bowl MVP. Both could develop into starters.

— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) March 2, 2021

Watching Trask in the pocket is one of the most frustrating things. He has a weird tendency to stand completely still or panic when he has a clean pocket.

— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) March 2, 2021

Nick Bolton is intriguing to me. His pro-comp is Navarro Bowman.

Would be a true Mike and heavy hitter in the middle of the field. #WashingtonFootball pic.twitter.com/0cLlhIPdlb

Finally really digging into Alijah Vera-Tucker and my only question is this...

Are you guys sure he’s not a tackle. Like yes, he can obviously play guard too...but those look like left tackle feet to me. ‍♂️

Would look nice in Powder Blue at 13th overall, I think.

Cats have a precise method of walking called ‘direct registering’.

Their hind paws fall inside the place of their forepaws — minimizing noise and visible tracks — while ensuring more stable footing. Amazing... pic.twitter.com/2HiuIX7R2t
