Best of luck to #JordanReed in whatever is next. Will never forget this catch on Thanksgiving 2016: one-armed 3rd-&-4 33-yard reception despite him having suffered AC-joint separation earlier in game & despite pass interference by Byron Jones. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/He0pZo2pgH

49ers would make sense too, Shanahan was the OC when he was drafted. Rams would be a great fit, McVay was Reed’s TE coach his rookie year before becoming the OC under Jay Gruden.
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) February 20, 2020
Still feel he was the best route running TE when healthy. He ran choice routes better than most WRs
In hindsight I regret one thing about this tweet - "IMO"

It is my opinion Jordan's that great, but it's not just my opinion. I've talked to a lot of defensive players as they've come and gone over the years. To a man they'll tell you he's the biggest nightmare they faced. https://t.co/Zp8C9smrmI
1. We knew the Redskins did not plan to keep Jordan Reed. 2. He wants to keep playing football. 3. We ALL wish him the best! #httr #redskins

According to PFN Draft Analyst & Insider @TonyPauline, Ron Rivera and Dan Snyder appear to share a unanimous opinion on what to do with second pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Another report here from Pauline : Both Dan Snyder and Ron Rivera want Chase Young. Both are on the same page when it comes to drafting him.

I know we have seen this picture of coaching moves and “new” direction of the #Redskins play out before, but this time with Ron Rivera, it just feels different. I know games haven’t been played but the words character and class are resonating for a franchise that needs that.

Add Thomas Davis to the (long) (like, ridiculously long now) list of people who expect Ron Rivera to make the #Redskins better right away https://t.co/UasfDqjXE8

He's good and I wanted him on the team, but Dunbar might be the least accomplished player to ever demand a trade. Can't have that right now. Ron should probably ship him out. https://t.co/Ohbr1Uck20

The NFL has voted to approve the proposed new CBA. All eyes turn toward the players... https://t.co/PswxM5CEhG
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 20, 2020
NFL owners were not unanimous in the approval of the proposed CBA, per source. Not every owner voted for it.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 20, 2020
By the way, I would not consider ratification of this CBA proposal a fait accompli. It has strong, influential detractors in the player ranks.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 21, 2020
Lots of misinformation flying around as well as “experts” with opinions.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 21, 2020
Something to watch on new CBA - if approved before March 18, the salary cap would go up by about $5 mil per team for next year. Could create a lot of spenders and raise free agent prices.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) February 20, 2020
Some more details:
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 20, 2020
— The performance bonus pool will be roughly $8M for 2020 and $10M in 2021.
— Around $12M per club raise in benefits, substantial in all categories.
— To start camp, there is an acclimation period of 5 days no hitting and limits on consecutive days of hitting https://t.co/Rz0HGAgX4z
The #NFL playoff structure is about to be changed. Under the current CBA proposal, seven teams from each conference will make the playoffs, with only bye per conference, per Adam Schefter. More details coming soon, but this is a massive change.
— JPA Sports (@jpafootball) February 19, 2020
If all goes according to plan today, the owners will have a final term sheet with the overall points of the proposed CBA laid out. They’ll then send that to the players for their approval. https://t.co/jZuIOqTyU6
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 20, 2020
Kinda my thoughts on this whole situation. Everything we’ve heard is from the owners side so far. Almost like they’re trying to paint it as “we’ve made a deal, players fault if they don’t agree and there’s no football” https://t.co/2Ph28YSL4L
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) February 21, 2020
That it doesn’t make as much money for the owners as the new playoff format would? I mean, we can argue over this til we’re blue in the face, but we should call it what it is. https://t.co/wIAxlptlW2
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 20, 2020
Expanding playoffs has been part of the framework of CBA talks really since the start, and not nearly as divisive as 17 games. And the 17 regular season/3 preseason game model has been likeliest for a while.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 20, 2020
Likely that the option to cut to 2 preseason games will be part of it.
The proposed new playoff system makes it less likely that the best team will win the Super Bowl.
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) February 20, 2020
This changes the odds of the #2 seed winning significantly, while giving small boosts to everyone else and a big boost to the 7th seed.
Here's Current system vs. Proposed System pic.twitter.com/nIWuZvP20n
How would players be compensated for a 17th game if they signed contracts based on a 16-game schedule? Basically, under proposed CBA, they'd get an extra game check, but it'd be capped at $250,000, per sources. So the highest-paid players would play for less than usual.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 20, 2020
The NFLPA's approval process for the proposed CBA is that at least two-thirds of the 32 player reps must ratify, then a majority of all players must approve. NFLPA leaders have left open the possibility that the vote of all players could be taken electronically.

Latest NFL proposal keeps funding rule, but with $15 million annual credit per team https://t.co/5EmZnI3wk9
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) February 21, 2020
Per colleague @MikeSilver’s reading of the tea leaves, 2022. I know in negotiations the players have asked to delay until 2023 but many owners were pushing for 2021. So I like Silver’s splitting it down the middle. https://t.co/YXqvN6Y8tg
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 20, 2020
According to a source, the NFL and owners "probably" will move forward with their plans to implement the expanded, 14-team playoffs in the 2020 season even if the players fail to ratify the proposed CBA. The owners, in their view, don't need to the players' approval of that.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) February 20, 2020
This will also be notable, from the term sheet: "Implementation of a neutral decision-maker for most Commissioner Discipline cases." No more judge-jury-executioner system.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 21, 2020
It will actually save a lot of guys' jobs that might be cut loose for salary cap reasons. Those guys wouldn't be making minimum.
— Don Allard (@don_allard_ri) February 21, 2020
If the NFL raised minimum P5 levels by $90K that would eat up around $3.4M per team. If they increased roster sizes by 10 and eliminated the PS it would eat up around $4.6M per team. That probably wouldnt leave a ton of extra money for vets despite 17 games on higher rev share
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) February 20, 2020
The proposed CBA also reduces penalties for players who test positive for THC, eliminating any game suspensions strictly for positive tests. So no more getting banned strictly for smoking weed.

Latest On CBA Proposal, Including Addition Of Two Roster Spots https://t.co/abOwGmtDIA pic.twitter.com/heNtIU1HLj
— Pro Football Rumors (@pfrumors) February 21, 2020
The extra offensive lineman rule under the proposed CBA would be similar to the old No. 3 QB rule, per source -- basically, a reserve OL could be put into the game if another goes down and can't return. Lets players come out if they need to without, say, forcing a TE to play OL.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 21, 2020
Also in proposed CBA: A provision establishing a $50,000 HRA for vested veterans without one, plus creating a network of hospitals in each team city for no-cost physicals, preventative care, counseling, etc. Many ex-players have jobs that provide healthcare; this would fill gaps.

This is a good sign for tomorrow’s vote for the players. One hard issue appears to be solved. https://t.co/XpvaiaIX9I

— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) February 20, 2020
Notable point many seem to be missing: This applies only to contracts negotiated before the 17th game is instituted, which is likely years away, so it'd ultimately impact a fraction of players. One small piece of an enormous CBA the 32 player reps will discuss tomorrow. https://t.co/ba2ak3RA02
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 20, 2020
Definitely more perspective with the proposal being talked about right now. The $250K cap might not be as big of a deal breaker for a 17th game. https://t.co/KIwnGpDPCC

Watch player safety/work conditions in a potential new NFL CBA.

A fairly significant change in fifth-year options in the proposed CBA — they become fully guaranteed for 4th and 5th years at the time the option is exercised, and the amount of the option’s dependent on player achievement, not on which slot he was selected in the first round.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 21, 2020
Among the training camp changes in proposed deal ...
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 21, 2020
• 2.5-hour limit on padded/full speed practices
• Limit time at facility during given workday
• Limit of 16 days in pads
• 3-day weekend at end of camp if 17 games is in
• 2 days off first week, one day every 7 thereafter
A reminder that NFLPA contracts aren't voted on by outside observers judging whether they "won" the negotiations or not but by young men with brief careers wondering how much $$$ they will make for how much work next year.
— Mike Tanier (@MikeTanier) February 21, 2020
There are now multiple NFL teams waiting to make roster moves based on the potential of a new CBA. If a new CBA is approved in the days to come, a flurry of roster moves will follow.
