One thing to note on Brandon Scherff: Tag deadline is Tuesday. Was told they're still hoping to get a deal done a deal done and that the tag definitely remains in play here. Stay tuned.

— John Keim (@john_keim) March 5, 2021

yes, that's where the deal will be. some definitely consider him the best G in the league. up for debate, but that's the neighborhood he's in

Yes. But all about structure etc.

The Chargers are already losing Mike Pouncey to retirement, and their starting three on the left side (Sam Tevi, Forrest Lamp, and Dan Feeney) are all free agents.

And now Trai Turner could be gone, too.

They'll have their work cut for them to find Justin Herbert protection. https://t.co/rrpHwhWOkf

Incognito was due to make $5 million in salary. Wrote about his rehab last week, and the expectation is that he'll re-sign with the #Raiders for less money. https://t.co/o1EDVVLH5W

The expectation league-wide has been that Washington's starting QB for 2021 is not in the building. And when asking which teams have been most active in early QB carousel talks, Washington consistently comes up. Big next few weeks/months for WFT

The Washington Football Team have interest in Sam Darnold and have called about him, but the #Jets have yet to make a decision, per Connor Hughes. pic.twitter.com/Ry1ncDFlGl

Wouldnt it be great if the Jets decide to roll with Darnold and trade out of 2, only for the Jags to pass on Lawrence for Wilson https://t.co/Ll0hT8B9tk

You mean always picking up the phone and calling people? I was prepared to argue in favor of paying Dak and was shocked by the personnel evaluation. To be clear, I still think the Cowboys get it done and I think it’s best for both sides to do that

Second recommendation in the report if the NFL doesnt want to force the sale - "Suspend the owner for a signifiant period to allow time to repair its infrastructure and culture." All per @JunksRadio. Big time stuff.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) March 5, 2021

An NFL spokesman tells me the reported 130-page investigative document on the Washington Football Team is "absolutely false" and that the league has "received no such report."

— Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) March 5, 2021

Also - it's insulting that a bunch of people ran around after the @NFL said they had not received the report yet & then took a shot at @JunksRadio credibility.

The #NFL NEVER had the opportunity to know if the reporting is untrue, if they never received the report. @team980

Kelly worked for Bruce Allen in OAK and TB before being hired two months into Allen's tenure in DC.

It has not been a good offseason for Allen holdovers in Ashburn. Rivera is clearly distancing himself from Bruce's regime this winter. Reshaping the operation with his own crew.

The #Eagles and C Jason Kelce have agreed on a new deal for 2021, paying him $9M fully guaranteed at signing and potentially up to $12M, source said. He announced on Instagram he’s back for another season.

Franchise tag for Simmons is no surprise. Mentioned it as a given in our free agency guide. IMO, #Broncos would be better off trying to do a deal now rather than possibly seeing Seattle do something wild with Adams.

Ideal frame. Tall, wide, thick with long arms 35" & big mitts. 10 1/4" Shows some natural ability & urgency to bend the edge. Drops his pad level down & shows a heavy handed violent punch. Versatile enough to set the edge or kick down inside. Has a lot of pass rush tools. https://t.co/pP9zjBaoGB
