He's had more than a day or two to ponder. Bruce and Jay have been here for years. Sunday's crowd situation was wild, but the decline isn't new. By waiting he's perhaps putting the organization behind others IF he does make a move. Not sure the reason for delay, actually.

Ben you are oversimplifying this. 1). Dan thinks he needs Bruce to build a stadium in DC. Bruce hobnobs with politicians. VA fans think there is a chance in VA but Dan doesn't want it there. Dan clueless how to salvage the situation when the stadium is his most important item

I mean, there’s probably a nuclear option that could force Snyder to sell — but only in a Donald Sterling level scandal. Simple mismanagement wouldn’t cut it and there would be a firestorm of litigation before it could go through https://t.co/QnmgHAYd27

Redskins make a roster move. signed WR TRE McBride to a Reserve/Future contract. College ball at Willam & Mary. 7th round pick of Jets in 2015. Spent time on Titans, Bears and Jets roster. #redskins

Bruce Allen was involved in Scot McCloughan's introductory press conference on January 9th, 2015. That presser was mostly about McCloughan but he was available for questions. 1,454 days ago.

League-worst attendance drop. So Snyder fires the new ticket guys, who were trying to keep opposing fans out. Prepare to be in the minority at FedEx every game next year. https://t.co/Vyw5JkTNNk

Certainly hope we re-sign this guy...AP, Guice and Chris Thompson would be the best three-headed monster in the league #HTTR https://t.co/0vlrDI29FD

Jim Bob Cooter's contract wasn't renewed by the Lions. Now that he's available, the #Redskins should consider trying to add him to their coaching staff...if they can #HTTR https://t.co/T9cpqJyc5t

The only way #368 on Forbes rich-list Dan Snyder (who for all his faults, does love the #Redskins) ever sells the team is if someone makes him an offer he can't refuse.
You know who grew up a Skins fan in DC?
Warren Buffet.
(#3 on Forbes rich-list)
This is an interesting thought (that is addressed in Sally’s column) and I’ve thought about it multiple times over the last 4 years...

Rookies w/Top-10 @PFF grade at respective positions:

QB: Baker Mayfield (9th)
RB: Nick Chubb (1st), Saquon Barkley (4th)

TE: Chris Herndon (9th), Dallas Goedert (10th)
LB: Leighton Vander Esch (4th), Darius Leonard (6th)
S: Derwin James (4th)
Dave Gettleman said he had an extensive conversation with Eli Manning on Monday. Won’t divulge details but says, “We will do what’s in the best interest of the Giants.”

Not sure if this has already been reported, but per a source, Nick Foles gets $500K for every playoff game in which he plays at least 33% of the snaps and an additional $500K if they win those games.
— Sheil Kapadia (@SheilKapadia) January 2, 2019
That's a max value of $4M with this incentive if Foles leads Eagles to SB win.
I haven't given a 2019 LB a higher draft grade than what I gave Roquan, Edmunds, Evans, or Leighton yet. I guess I'll keep looking. And yes, I looked at both of them.

If NFL wants to whack Steelers for injury reporting flaws as to Antonio Brown, Mike Tomlin's press conference gives the league multiple avenues for doing so https://t.co/21IK7bD9j0
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) January 3, 2019
While #Steelers HC Mike Tomlin won’t openly say Antonio Brown bailed on his teammates, he’s not mincing words in regards to his absences last week: “We’re talking about our darkest hour... the guy not communicating is a very real element of discussion.”
— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) January 2, 2019
#Steelers Mike Tomlin says he’s “not going to speculate” on a trade re Antonio Brown. Says he has NOT received any formal request for a trade.
— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) January 2, 2019
He’s a future HOF receiver who will most likely finish top 10 in receiving yards of all time and the Steelers have continually rewarded him with new contracts since his third year in the league. https://t.co/hTrqgHJyDr

Now after his 2nd season, as he makes staff changes, I don't think it's as necessary anymore. That doesn't mean he shouldn't hire terrific older assistants if available, but I'd like to see him target some younger, innovative, energetic assistants for any positions he changes out
