The #Redskins aren't at fault for anything contract related here BUT the other component of the medicals & their resistance to make true change in that area is highly questionable. https://t.co/d7ZsAbELaB

So Trent Williams, Melvin Gordon and Yannick Ngakoue are not reporting. These guys (below) are reporting. Every situation is different but the #NFL must be viewed as a bunch of independent contractors playing under a "team" concept & a corporate umbrella. https://t.co/gP45DcyveD

Bottom line with Mason Foster for me? The guy played his ass off but simply didn’t have the top tier physical skills to keep from getting exposed at times.That’s not a players fault and fans harshly criticizing him because he wasn’t a Pro Bowler was always a bit over the line.
— BGObsession.com (@BGObsession) July 24, 2019
Still can’t believe they released him. *sarcasm font* https://t.co/0OKDnj50AT

Here's a thought...
— billhorgan (@billhorgan2005) July 24, 2019
Redskins released Mason Foster to make room to sign Allen Hurns.
Just spit-ballin'
Imagine this: you make $75K a year and are really, really good at your job – a key employee at your company. You find out a competitor hired a way less experienced person at the same position for $95K a year. Would you be pissed?
— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) July 24, 2019
Said Trent is so good that he changes the way defensive lineman have to line up to play him. Basically opens up both the run and pass game because DL are out of position.
— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) July 24, 2019
OK...didn't know this, and not sure how accurate it really is, but Cole Holcomb is listed on the Redskins roster at 6'1" 240!...up almost 10 pounds from his combine weight.

Over the last 2 seasons, Byard turned in 85.3 (2017) and 88.4 (2018) overall grades.
In 2018, Byard earned an 89.0 run-defense grade, an 82.5 coverage grade and allowed a lowly 55.8 passer rating in coverage. https://t.co/ekmcrbBZi4
After remaining stagnant for years, the safety market has moved dramatically this offseason. $14.1M per year is the new mark. https://t.co/UwImDn5prm
