The breakdown for receiver Adam Humphries' contract: It's a one-year deal with a $1.19 million cap hit with only $150,000 guaranteed. He has a $990,000 base salary with a $50,000 roster bonus. It's a low-cost signing for a player coming off a concussion... https://t.co/TFNSPO5BLt

Ryan Fitzpatrick, in an interview with @JPFinlayNBCS, says the last time he played in an offense like Washington’s was 2005. That would be Mike Martz’s system, and Martz was fired after that season.

Yes, I know. I thought about it being a bit unfair but ... all facts.

Rivera drafted hybrid LB/S prospects Thomas Davis and Shaq Thompson at #14 and #25, respectively. Factoring history, need, profile … sure seems like Owusu-Koramoah would be attractive to #WFT at #19.

— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) April 7, 2021

Shaq Thompson was 228 lb coming out

— Felix Salazar (@FelixHannah) April 7, 2021

Actually played at about 205 for much of the season.

The best argument for team “DeVonta Smith will be fine on the outside” is the 2019 tape against South Carolina.

Jaycee Horn is a top 15 pick and the best press corner in the draft and he could barely touch him off the line. 170 don’t matter if DBs can’t even make contact anyway.

The Washington Football Team is hiring Natalia Dorantes as its coordinator of football programs.

She’s the first Latina in NFL history to serve in that position. Dorantes joins Callie Brownson and Sarah Hogan as the only women holding similar roles.https://t.co/2rulIVFFSZ

Setting aside the whole Darnold debate, this is exceptionally well made. Good job to the Panthers social team for this one. https://t.co/oTsvHyjCO3

"What I said last week was 'people said in their guts' that Mac Jones was going to be the #49ers pick.

What I'm saying this week, is that people are hearing that you may want to take your foot off the throttle in terms of Jones to SF." @TonyPauline ⬇️⬇️https://t.co/gNmqz7iUEb

Trey Lance and Mac Jones are likely to become just the 5th and 6th QBs over the last 25 years drafted in the first round with fewer than 18 college starts:

2017 Mitch Trubisky 13
2019 Dwayne Haskins 14
2009 Mark Sanchez 16
2019 Kyler Murray 17

.@mlombardiNFL: "I think Washington is going to be the next team to unload all their picks to try to get a QB. I think they love Lance. I don't think, I KNOW Washington loves Lance … I think they're willing to go get him."

— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) April 7, 2021

So all within the same day a report from an “insider” said Washington wouldn’t trade up and another report from a different “insider” said they would unload all their picks for Lance.

No one knows anything lol I can’t wait for the draft to get here so all of this nonsense stops

a deck of poker cards has a metaphysical meaning: 52 cards - 52 weeks a year, 4 suits - seasons; two colors representing night and day. if you add up all the values of cards in deck you get 365 days (including joker). the second joker is a leap year. https://t.co/CRgyqI0lIK
