OL Coach Bill Callahan on Donald Penn: "Hopefully we can settle Ereck inside now with Donald coming. I feel good about depth at G with Ereck and Wes beginning to be developed. Donald gives us another LT we can work and hopefully we get Trent back."

Donald Penn started 170 straight games from 2007-2017. Missed 12 games in 2018 recovering from a foot injury. #Redskins https://t.co/JXemt4uyxS

#Redskins have signed guard Hugh Thornton, according to NFL source. He’ll be at practice today, though I’d expect he’ll need a few days to get acclimated. Started 32 games at guard for Colts from ‘13-15, but leg injuries forced him to retire at 25. Healthy now. Add him to the mix
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) July 31, 2019
Interesting. Couldn’t play in 2016 because his ankle wouldn’t heal. Played for the Arizona Hotshots in the AAF. Former 3rd round pick and still only 28. https://t.co/vfiMRksa0N
— Steve (@SteveDraft_) July 31, 2019
No idea if #Redskins will sign Hugh Thornton. But his back story is intense. Mom and sister murdered in Jamaica. Eventually moved back to her hometown in Oberlin, Ohio and graduated from her high school. Retired at 25 because of an ankle injury that cost him 2016 and didn't heal.

C Casey Dunn, in addition to Tyler Catalina, has also been waived by Washington, the team announces #HTTR

Donald Penn said he wanted to weigh his options, his kids are in California, had other teams calling and said Washington gave him time to think everything through. Jon Gruden texted him jokingly, "You can't shake the Grudens." #HTTR

#Redskins would not get what Trent Williams is worth. Call bluff.
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 31, 2019
Ereck Flowers worked at LG today with Christian at LT and also Donald Penn. Flowers' footwork was more exposed at LT; won't be the case inside. Still saw some issues bending at the waist. But has a better shot there than outside that's for sure.

Funny Tress Way moment. Sees fan in a 5 jersey. “Is that a Way jersey?!” Fan turns and reveals “Way”. To which Way yells “yes!... got my heart broken the other day. Saw a 5 and it was a McNabb Jersey.”

With the addition of Penn, our offensive line is pretty formidable in terms of size.
— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) July 30, 2019
LT Penn 6'5" 317 lbs
LG Flowers 6'6" 329 lbs
C Rouiller 6'4 315 lbs
RG Scherff 6'5 319 lbs
RT Moses 6'6 317 lbs
Trent 6'5" 315, Wes Martin 6'3" 311
Big boys. #Redskins
Yes it’s an insurance signing for the Skins, but Penn wouldn’t be signing here unless he believed he’d be starting for an extended period of time if not the whole season. Call me pessimistic but I think Trent is moving on whether it’s sometime this preseason or in the offseason.
— Robbie Duncan (@RobbieDuncanOL) July 30, 2019
Big. If you can get a 2 and a 3 for Trent, do it now. #Redskins https://t.co/5eEnjr1T8n
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) July 30, 2019
Redskins control his rights through 2020. He's losing potentially millions by holding out and not getting any younger. If you're the front office, you put a bandaid on it with Penn and bet Trent blinks first.
— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) July 30, 2019
Ya'll shouldn't be so quick to jump on a trade for Trent. 7x PB, borderline HOF LTs don't come around very often, and getting a 3rd round pick or whatever is pretty irrelevant in comparison.
— TheHogSty (@TheHogSty) July 30, 2019
It's only been a week. The thing to do is to make a strong effort to make things right.
Can someone alleviate my anxiety?

How is Jimmy Moreland 2019 NOT Danny Johnson from 2018?
DJ came out like a bat out of hell in last year's TC, and barely played throughout the season. In fact, we haven't heard a peep from him (he's on the PUP list). #Redskins
Rookie of the day: cornerback Jimmy Moreland. He intercepted two passes, including one off Dwayne Haskins in a two-minute drill. But Moreland also made a nice play vs. a screen when he beat a block by the receiver and ran up for a tackle. Moreland is behind Fabian Moreau in...

This is coming from someone who was generally happy the #Redskins spent a supplemental pick on Adonis Alexander because I followed him at VT. But the way he is playing some of these routes I can't explain. Looks like he is guessing routes and guessing wrong.
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 30, 2019
Adonis has the size, But it's not clicking for him. Curious how expendable he is with his biggest advocate (Torrian Gray) gone. #Redskins https://t.co/3OOVCbgwb8

I'm going to show this play for 1 reason. No, not RB Wilson's speed. When camp started, Haskins was going to dump off early. After a few deep balls, he seemed to not even look at dump off. This shows him look deep, step up in pocket, still doesn't like it, hits dump off. Growth. pic.twitter.com/tYcIBxo6jz

With 2018 behind him, #Redskins S Montae Nicholson is blocking out all distractions. I thought he was done after his arrest. Especially after the team cut DJ Swearinger for challenging coaches publically. They stuck by Montae and we can only hope he returns to his 2017 form. pic.twitter.com/Wrx4x7E9wr

Official #Redskins Injury Report:
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) July 31, 2019
Adonis Alexander has a quad. Day to day. Was told earlier it’s the same one that kept him out of OTA’s. Been bothering him for a long time.
Sweat and Cassanova McKinzy have lower leg injured and are also day to day.
Reuben Foster is also out at walkthrough. He’s talking with Landon Collins and ILB coach Rob Ryan. #HTTR

Dwayne Haskins and Alex Smith are dag on near attached at the hip when Haskins isn’t going through his reps. Constantly talking through what’s happening. This is exactly what you want to see in this situation. Josh Woodrum also getting some time in with Smith #HTTR

Jonathan Allen does not appreciate that he has to lay off the quarterback during practices. Has given some version of “well block me then” to the o-line going back to OTAs. Finally simmered over today.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) July 31, 2019
Haskins. Gun. Cam Sims lined up on wrong side. Haskins corrected him. Good to see. Bombs another one to Robert Davis with deion Harris in coverage. A little too deep.
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) July 31, 2019
Camp thoughts: Redskins signing two tackles and a guard in recent days shows Flowers is a bust. Could see him cut during preseason. Not sure Wes Martin is ready at LG. Preseason will show. WR Stephen Sims is really impressive as this year's surprise. Defense is going to be tough.
— Rick Snider (@Snide_Remarks) July 31, 2019
Josh Doctson just made an absurd left handed, one handed catch in one on ones. Wasn’t clear whether he got both feet in but it was nasty. Walked right by me after it and under his breath I heard him say “Damn, he holding like a bitch”

The #Saints & star WR Michael Thomas have reached a blockbuster, 5 yr $100M extension. This contract makes Thomas the highest paid WR in NFL History. He’s also the first non-QB offensive player to sign a $100M contract. Agents @DavidMulugheta & Andrew Kessler negotiated the deal.

Now seems like a good time to recount the WRs taken ahead of Michael Thomas in the 2016 NFL Draft:

15. Corey Coleman
21. Will Fuller
22. Josh Doctson
23. Laquon Treadwell
40. Sterling Shepard
47. Michael Thomas
He's not quite the first non-QB offensive player to sign a $100M+ contract, whether talking about total value or just extension value. Larry Fitzgerald signed one way back in 2011. https://t.co/NMA9qjgSqK
— Ian Whetstone (@IanWhetstone) July 31, 2019
Michael Thomas has averaged 107 catches, 1,262 yards and eight touchdowns per season over his first three years. His 321 catches are the most in NFL history by a receiver in his first three years.
