2018’s #NFLFreeAgency had saw 400 signed contracts for a total value of $2.6 billion. BUT:
— Spotrac (@spotrac) March 11, 2019
Only $1.1B (43%) of those dollars were guaranteed at signing.https://t.co/4zcQHFidyq
Redskins C Chase Roullier received $481,122 in a performance-based pay distribution. That’s among the top 25 in the league.. players get this based on “comparison of play time to salary.”

The fate of the other $10M+ APY 2016 signings:
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) March 11, 2019
•Russell Okung (DEN): option declined (Broncos at least got a 3rd round comp for him later.)
•Brock Osweiler (HOU): traded and then cut
•Malik Jackson (JAX): cut
•Olivier Vernon (NYG): traded
•Kelechi Osemele (OAK): traded
I decided to compare this to the compensatory picks generated by these signings:
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) March 11, 2019
•27 of them counted in the formula (i.e., no Sam Bradford)
•18 of those 27, exactly two-thirds, were not canceled out by another signing, generating 3rd rounders for their former teams. https://t.co/677fAGzTVf

Asked an NFL cap person to compare what two star RBs were fully guaranteed at signing, w/ protection for skill, injury and cap
— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) March 13, 2019
Todd Gurley: $21.95M
David Johnson: $24.68M
Per someone who’s seen the contract, Le’Veon Bell’s guarantee at signing, w/ protection for SIC: $28M
As I answered the question on offense from @funnydanny - of course, I forgot to mention that it a possibility they could add to offense via trade, with all of the WR rumors going around, starting w/ A.J. Green. Can they fit? With some cuts, yes. https://t.co/BSmsOqxSh1

When Trey Flowers signs for big money, that quite possibly will give the @Patriots two third-round Compensatory Picks in 2020. They have two this year (Solder, Butler) at end of round 3.
— Peter King (@peter_king) March 11, 2019
It’s the NFL’s circle of life. https://t.co/rYwFf1Gvsd
Remember that declining options on players are different from cutting them for compensatory pick purposes.

Either the #Raiders just torched last year’s first-round pick or just paid LT money to their new RT https://t.co/coLimnRITZ
— Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) March 11, 2019
Told by a source close to the organization the plan is to leave Trent Brown at LT, move Kolton Miller to RT and Bradon Parker would then be a back-up swing tackle. https://t.co/nzMbYwJ7kk
— Tony Pauline (@TonyPauline) March 11, 2019
The #Raiders drafting Kolton Miller 15th overall just to make Trent Brown the highest paid OL in NFL history makes not drafting Derwin James last year even more unforgiving.

Congratulations to Trent Brown, who four years ago had to answer questions about being the heaviest player in the draft and who this year will answer questions about being the richest tackle in the NFL.
— Matt Barrows (@mattbarrows) March 11, 2019
If a player goes from not being worth anything more than a minimum contract to being worth $66 million in one season chances are your evaluation process is majorly flawed.

When teams sign players, they have to put all the guaranteed money into escrow. In other words, Mark Davis doesn't have the liquid cash do to that.
— Matt Verderame (@MattVerderame) March 11, 2019
Insane. https://t.co/WGKjfMTzI9
In 2 years, the Raiders will want a do-over on a guy named Brown. And it won’t be Antonio. https://t.co/zIMGdRYSIm

#Raiders drafted two OTs in the top-65 picks of last year's draft. Kolton Miller (No. 15 pick) and Brandon Parker (No. 65) finished 80th & 76th, respectively, among 80 qualified OTs in @PFF's grades.
— Evan Silva (@evansilva) March 11, 2019
Paying Trent Brown (who was available for virtually nothing last year) top-5 tackle money after using 2 top-65 picks on tackles last April feels like doing it wrong.

I assume we're not just going to gloss over the fact that the Raiders negotiated a record NFL deal in less than 10 minutes right? That's the most amazing feat I've ever seen in the NFL! Glad nobody illegally tampers anymore. https://t.co/dvROGKmRum

It’s breathtaking how bad the Matt Kalil signing was in Carolina. Panthers have to decide whether they want to pay him a $7 million base salary which guarantees tomorrow. If they don’t want to, they'll owe $14.7 million in dead money.

#Eagles have signed T Jason Peters to a one-year contract for the 2019 season.
— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) March 11, 2019
Peters was already on the books at a $13.1M cap charge. Sounds like he restructured to stick around. https://t.co/uBPedrjvKc
— Spotrac (@spotrac) March 11, 2019
This is interesting, because the Eagles held an option on Peters' contract for 2019. Announcing it as a new contract (instead of that they picked up the option) indicates he agreed to a lower salary. https://t.co/rPVccr74bs

What I have learned about the Giants’ plan in the past 24 hours:
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) March 14, 2019
1. They’re not planning to cut Eli, even with a $5M roster bonus due Sunday.
2. There’s still a chance they don’t take a QB in this year’s draft.

— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) March 13, 2019
To be fair to the @Redskins and to @PFF - in this same profile below, they gave the #Packers and #Jets a "above average" designation for their signings of former #Skins Preston Smith & Jamison Crowder. Ty Nsekhe's deal w/ #Bills got a "very good" label. https://t.co/VE1x3s5ebo
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) March 14, 2019
Clarification: That's based on the $20 million 2020 salary on a contract that voids after this year . . . so Brees will count for $21.3 million PLUS (if he plays) whatever his 2020 cap number would be on a new deal.

Tyler Catalina is unlikely to make the Redskins 53 man roster; if he does, it will be as a backup, not as the starting LG. You'll need to wait for the draft to find out who the new starter will be between Williams and Roullier.
