Free agent TE Greg Olsen has a #Redskins visit through today, source said. He arrived yesterday. His #Seahawks visit is Wednesday, and then Olsen expects a decision by the end of the week. Olsen, who was in the booth for an XFL game yesterday, has also spent time with the #Bills.

Greg Olsen's visit with the Redskins lasts through today, source says, as @RapSheet reported. Olsen previously visited the Bills and is to visit the Seahawks, and is expected to have broadcasting opportunities.

Hey #Redskins Twitter. I've scaled back my presence on here the last week or so. What are we irrationally panicking about today?

Redskins corner Quinton Dunbar has requested to be traded or released, according to a source. Dunbar spoke with a member of the Redskins' administration tonight. He had been in talks with the previous regime about an extension but he had not had any... https://t.co/avJTJIFa4h

I can confirm Quinton Dunbar's trade request, as @john_keim and others have reported. A source said the lack of security on Dunbar's current contract and a lack of dialogue with the new regime led to it.

There has to be more to this Dunbar story that we are hearing. I mean...RR and his staff JUST started evaluating these guys!
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) February 10, 2020
If he's bent out of shape ALREADY...SEE YA, although I feel there is a bit more to this than what we are hearing
But again, if that's his stance - SEE YA
Trotz on Ovechkin: "He's going to get 700. It wouldn't have bothered me if he got 700 as long as we won the hockey game. I know he's going to get it and I'm a big believer he's going to break the record. I wish him luck because we don't play them anymore for the rest of the year"

Quinton Dunbar = valuable asset. #Redskins should extend or trade him. No middle ground. I would extend him. Should be able to do relatively team-friendly deal given lack of durability. Has played at high level when healthy over last two years & is going into just age-28 season.

Weird how that works
I know business is business, but would Kendall and Bree even come back regardless of who's in charge now?
— Russell (@TheRealDoom_Guy) February 10, 2020
Hey @MarkBullockNFL with Bradberry wanting top money, what do you think of Daryl Worley as an alternative, only 24 and has history with Rivera and I think JDR too?

Virginia isn’t back in the Redskins stadium game - it never left. Lawmakers have hosted Redskins officials for private dinners during General Assembly each of the last few years.

The obstacle remains the same - Dulles location extremely unappetizing to the DC/MD fanbase.
The three-month CT scan for #Bama QB and coveted draft prospect Tua Tagovailoa was as positive as possible, sources say. The fracture has healed. The hip and its range of motion is good. It’ll likely be another month before he’s cleared for football activities, tho, as expected.

Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes don't need any extra help destroying defenses. By playing the same coverages against the same formations all night, Robert Saleh gave it to them anyway.

Rivers to the Colts makes too much sense. Ready to win. Good OL.

The #Chargers had Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles, Shawne Merriman, Eric Weddle, Antonio Cromartie, etc.

• #1 Offense
• #1 Defense
• #32 Special Teams
---> Missed the playoffs.
No team will ever top that.

Pretty remarkable that three quarterbacks from the same class, taken within 10 picks of each other, all lasted 16 years with the teams that drafted them.

The expectation is that #Browns pass-rusher Myles Garrett will be reinstated, sources have said, provided he completed the back end of all that was required — including counseling. No firm word from the NFL on when he’s officially back, though nothing is said to be coming today.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 10, 2020
A star doing what? He’s attempted 13 passes in the past 2 seasons and when Brees was out, Bridgewater was the QB. You don’t have to double down on a terrible take. https://t.co/AuODJCNu3x

The XFL features the removal of PATs:

After a TD, the team has the option of running a play from the 2, 5, or 10-yard line, worth 1, 2, or 3 points respectively. Here's how those attempts looked in week 1:
1-PT: 36% (4/11)
2-PT: 38% (3/8)
3-PT: 0% (0/0) pic.twitter.com/eko1wXf18w
In a very non-scientific look at some of our traffic during the debut of the XFL vs that of the AAF there seemed to be about 15% more interest with the QBs definitely being searched for much more (for a two day period Matt McGloin was the top OTC trending player)
