We have made the following coaching changes

The Washington Commanders plan to exercise DE Montez Sweat's fifth-year contract option, according to multiple sources.

The option becomes fully guaranteed once exercised. Deadline is May 3.

At the combine (I'm not there), @JPFinlayNBCS asked Ron Rivera about what's too much to give up for a QB. Rivera: "Does anybody care what the Rams traded for Matthew Stafford last year? No."
Point is, of course: If you get the right guy, the cost won't matter.

As others have told me this offseason: Pete Carroll is 70 years old. Why would he want to enter perhaps his last couple years coaching with a new QB? There would HAVE To be a clear path to a strong successor. Very tough. https://t.co/b7PpKhUEqQ

IF Seattle is going to entertain trades for Russell Wilson, they will almost definitely do it before March 20th.

Trades before March 20 leave Seattle with a single year dead-cap hit of $26m for 2022.

If they trade after this date, it's a $31m cap hit in 2022.

Deadline watch.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst on if Aaron Rodgers would make a decision by 3/16 (the start of free agency):

“I would hope so. A lot decisions have to be made before that.”

The financials with Rodgers are “part of that process” and not something done and awaiting a decision.” pic.twitter.com/oVgpTs9Plj

Green Bay Packers’ GM Brian Gutekunst says he's not getting trade offers from other GMs on Aaron Rodgers:https://t.co/8k28wwgSws

Some hesitation here because of JG injury history and potential cost -- both in picks and $$ to extend. Doesn't mean they wouldn't try to get him, does mean lots to consider. Could make the low-cost FA potentially w/a rookie avenue more desirable (if the HR route fails). https://t.co/CO5iUuUxhZ

There is precedent for a trade just off shoulder surgery — Drew Brees is one example. So not impossible. But this at minimum complicates matters. https://t.co/g2F2rzUn2g

Colts GM Chris Ballard on Carson Wentz’s future with Indy: “I don’t have the direct answer for you. We’re working through it…Ultimately we’ll do what’s best for the Colts.”

Mariota played for three Head Coaches and four Offensive Coordinators in his first 4 years in the NFL.

That kind of instability is crushing for young QBs.

Just saying. https://t.co/OSwsbHvtRK

I’ve talked to more NFL teams this week about Mitchell Trubisky than the 22 QB class.

I think that says a lot.

This team is just a few pieces away. Debate me if you want...

One of the most talented defenses - need a MLB and FS

Offense has a solid O-Line, good young RB, Stud WR and a weapon who just needs to stay healthy. Need another go-to WR, Mismatch TE and... A DAMN QB

5 pieces away

Dallas could save a big chunk of cap $$ if they release Amari Cooper. I seem to remember a certain burgundy and gold themed team that made a big run at Cooper just two years ago https://t.co/V9naeNdZbn
