WATCH, only on @ABC7News: @Redskins President Bruce Allen tells me, "it is where it still remains," with Trent Williams' holdout.

Sources: #Patriots QB Tom Brady’s new deal includes a provision that does not allow NE to franchise or transition tag him for the 2020 season. The final two years automatically void on the last day of the 2019 league year, but he cannot be tagged. Brady will be a free agent.

From Inside Training Camp: For the first time in his career, even if it’s for one second to begin the 2020 league year, #Patriots QB Tom Brady can be a free agent. Teams can make their calls to him. pic.twitter.com/dc4R2PmOON

Gruden on injury prevention:
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 5, 2019
"We're 7-9 the last two years. We need the work. The only way to get better is to put the pads on and practice. The only way to get better at football is practicing football."
He's barely 22 years old and played one year of college football. Playing QB is really f'ing hard.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 5, 2019
He has an incredible head on his shoulders and is working as hard as he can. He's more than just fine. https://t.co/v1DsZgPhJO
To be fair, if Aaron Rodgers had to face Jimmy Moreland in practice every day he'd be 3rd on the depth chart too

When asked about the thought behind the depth chart, Jay Gruden said if he had a choice, he wouldn't have put one out at this point. It's names on a paper, in an order, mostly for the media, and it doesn't mean anything at this point #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 5, 2019
Gruden said the preseason depth chart doesn't mean anything. Called them "just words on paper."
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 5, 2019
This tweet does not apply to Terry McLaurin. He makes a very lasting impression.
— Mike Tanier (@MikeTanier) August 5, 2019
I can’t wait to see Cole Holcomb fly around on Thursday. He’s going to steal someone’s job.

Ereck Flowers with two very good reps against Jonathan Allen and Matt Ioannidis. Held his ground, did a good job not conceding anything #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 5, 2019
I've always suspected that Doctson's heel injury was chronic and maybe even a genetic/missed medical from the combine. This articles strengthens my suspicion.
— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) August 5, 2019

I have really enjoyed watching Shaun Wilson this training camp. His small frame made deceive you into thinking he won’t break a bunch of tackles, but he just ran up the middle, powered through a pair and was off to the races #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 5, 2019
Dwayne Haskins does not leave Alex Smith’s side unless he’s getting live reps.

Maybe potential depth signing for the Skins? Don't know much about him though. https://t.co/BrBu0RQQYA

A breakup between Alex Lewis and Ravens seemed inevitable before camp. Lewis rehabbed away from team and Ravens clearly weren’t pleased. But with left guard such a question mark, figured they’d try and make it work. Not so.

Ray Horton wants OPI, but here’s a nice battle between Doctson and Moreland. Doctson was ruled out. pic.twitter.com/znnz8RT3LH

Horton is standing next to the ref, continually yelling “flag down! Flag down!” On almost every play. No flags were thrown. https://t.co/ByvY4nqNv2

RG Brandon Scherff, who is one of the best players at his position, has a starting spot and is waiting on a big contract, chasing this play down is all you need to know about him. #Redskins https://t.co/a4ZAp0Dx0M
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) August 5, 2019
Offense just runs more smoothly with Colt at the helm. Case just miscommunicated with Doc, Doc was open cutting in, Case threw outside. Should’ve been a pick. Can’t happen. Next play, low ball to McLauren, dropped.
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) August 5, 2019
Doc and PRich haven’t done much for me. Quinn will lead the team in receptions this year. https://t.co/JrB1ePiAl5
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) August 5, 2019
Tim Settle and Daron Payne are giving offensive linemen hell in 1 on 1. This is the first time bringing back the drill since those couple says of fights. #redskins
— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) August 5, 2019
Matt Ioannidis gets the better of his opponent on every rep, and that includes Brandon Scherff, who dominates basically everyone else. 98 might be the best player in camp thus far.
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) August 5, 2019
People keep saying this. Based on what? A couple preseason catches? He also dropped one that key to a big pick if were being honest. I agree he’d be a tough cut but Robert Davis has elite size/speed and is better on ST. It will be close. Might come down to a preseason injury. https://t.co/51QScyET1F
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) August 5, 2019
Coaches are by far the most vocal they’ve been. Fs are being dropped quite frequently and quite loudly. Sorry, kids!
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) August 5, 2019
Nice combo rep from Moreland on Doctson. Gets his hand in. Just good defense. pic.twitter.com/X5AGLOHjEg

Robert Davis is going to be a tough cut.
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) August 5, 2019
You’d think Doctson, Quinn, Harmon, McClauren, Richardson are basically locks. 6th spot will come down to Davis and Sims. Special teams might be the deciding factor.
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) August 5, 2019
Tier 1: Doctson, Richardson (Quinn)
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) August 5, 2019
Tier 1a: Cam Sims, Terry McLaurin, Brian Quick, Darvin Kidsy
Tier 2: Kelvin Harmon.
Tier 3: Steven Sims, TJ Rahming, Jehu Chesson
Those are the tiers in which they've been getting reps. #Redskins
Jay Gruden is tired up today. Got into the QBs and pass catchers in a passing drill and then lectured Vernon Davis on the crispness of his route. VD was leaning into his slant, Gruden wanted him to focus on heading north/south before breaking in. “Can’t turn your shoulders yet.”

Overheard sources going deep on team president. Turmoil is brewing up top which isn’t news. The news is the Trent Williams could be the break point in the relationship. Team “is ready for someone who isn’t privileged” @TheHogSty #rumormill

Montae is going to do great things this year. He'll be focused to return to his Pro-Bowl form from the first half of 2018 and make up for his off field mistake late last year. #Redskins #HTTR https://t.co/sukBjEqRG5

This #Redskins front is nasty. DaRon Payne blew up the previous two plays. On this play, Chris Thompson tries to cut right after hand off. Jonathan Allen, Matt Ioannidis, Shaun Dion-Hamilton, Ryan Anderson all there. pic.twitter.com/vnRepP0raF
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) August 6, 2019
Fantastic thread. Touches on Josh Doctson and Terry McLaurin here.

Infers that Andy Isabella is someone to look out for. A prospect I liked from the Senior Bowl and leading into the draft. #Redskins https://t.co/aALKsFegci
Today was my last day at #Redskins Training Camp. I was only supposed to stay until Fan Appreciation Day but a blown transmission extended my stay. Just got the call my car is done. I'll now begin the 11+ hour drive back home.

Haskins said after every play, every rep, if he has a chance to go over and talk to Alex Smith, then he does. Asking him what he saw, how he would've handled the situation, what he could've done better. Constantly talking about what's happening on the field, how to improve #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 5, 2019
Ereck Flowers just passed off Da’Ron Payne on two of the first three two minute drill reps and Payne came up with two very easy sacks. I’m not sure what’s going there, if he thought he was passing him off or something, but there was no one else there to block Payne #HTTR
