I can’t be in love with her, because I’m a happily married man, but I’m whatever comes right before that. I’ve had to start following her on Twitter. Had to show my two daughters that the face behind the team running Skins social media looks a lot like them.

The #Redskins are signing OT Cornelius Lucas on a 2-years, $5.3M deal, source said. Added depth on the offensive line.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 19, 2020
The Redskins have agreed to terms with OT Cornelius Lucas, The deal is reportedly two years and $5.3M. The 28-year-old has been in the league since 2014 and was a swing tackle last season for the Bears. Nice depth player. Not the answer at LT but a cheap back-up. #HTTR pic.twitter.com/RtbUUyiJTx
— Ed Sheahin (@NFLPhotoGuy) March 19, 2020
Cornelius Lucas held his own nicely last year when the Bears needed it. Went from a guy I didn't expect to make the 53-man roster out of camp to a solid depth piece and nice contract here. https://t.co/OjzFKFxeRm
— JJ Stankevitz (@JJStankevitz) March 19, 2020
Watched a game of Cornelius Lucas (Bears vs Chiefs, last game of the season). I like him. Played really well against Frank Clark. Other thing that stands out- no penalties.
— Robbie Duncan (@RobbieDuncanOL) March 19, 2020
Think he's going to push Moses to start at RT.
Look, this dude just got 10 mil a year, and I’m sure the majority of fans were skeptical of the deal last offseason (I know I certainly was); so if we are missing out on big names, I’m all for these low cost prove it deals, especially with the new coaching staff in place pic.twitter.com/AZ9j3XAHv9

Can confirm the Redskins have signed RB J.D. McKissic to a two year deal as @TomPelissero reported.
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 19, 2020
Pass catching back very important in Turners offense. I’ll have a post soon on McKissic and perhaps a separate one on the importance of pass catching backs in this system https://t.co/70PvB4UrF5
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) March 19, 2020
No they don’t. Have a 35 yr old RB and two others coming off knee injuries one of whom now has 3 knee injuries in the nfl in 2 years. Their confidence is not like yours. Have reported for a while they would add an RB.
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 19, 2020
J.D. McKissic (Washington) two years, $3.25M, $1M signing bonus, salaries $950K $1M; annual up to $150K per game active roster bonuses

Nearly through 3 games on Davis, this is pretty accurate. Some of the missed tackles are particularly bad. Has solid range, can land some big hits but the missed tackles show up more frequently https://t.co/og1ZQ1Yaoj

— John Keim (@john_keim) March 19, 2020
I don't think it's the lack of fans so much as it is the lack of winning (for years) & the uncertainty at quarterback. As much as I hate saying it, I get why Cooper would prefer the comfort and familiarity with Dak as opposed to the uncertainty with Haskins.

You can’t be against a Winston signing because he’s not good while simultaneously believing he’ll be a threat to beat out Haskins for the starting role - can you?
— BGObsession (@BGObsession) March 19, 2020
If we plan on drafting a LT w/ pick #66, I would not be against bringing back Donald Penn on a one year deal for a leadership/grooming role. #httr https://t.co/lJk2d9mF6S
— Charles Garner (@CharlesLGarner) March 19, 2020
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the Redskins signing a player you don’t know much about doesn’t = bad signing. Lots of bigger name players are still available and more will become available in the coming weeks. Trades options, too.
— FGB (@FiftyGutBlog) March 19, 2020
Still a few players who are intriguing on the Free Agent Market. Those who I'm curious about:

- A. Phillips S LAC
- B. Breeland CB KC
- E. Ebron TE IND
- D. Funchess WR IND
- D. Randall S CLE
- G. Allison WR GB

M. Gordon (but I can see him going to Tampa)

*RB Todd Gurley
*LB Dante Fowler
*DT Michael Brockers
*LB Cory Littleton
*LB Clay Matthews
*CB Nickell Robey-Coleman
*S Eric Weddle
*DC Wade Phillips
Brandin Cooks name has come up in trade talks. And they don't have a 1st-round pick this year or next year.
League sources said the Panthers and Cam Newton's camp are having a hard time trying to trade the former MVP.
— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) March 19, 2020
Multiple sources expect he's going to be released very soon. Team won't carry both Newton and Bridgewater; latter trying to get physical taken care of. After that...
Again, such a rare circumstance that QB supply outweighs QB demand. Among those still available on the market ...
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) March 19, 2020
• Andy Dalton, Cincinnati
• Joe Flacco, Denver
• Cam Newton, Carolina
• Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay
49ers just informed starting guard Mike Person that he is being released, per source. A veteran guard now available.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 19, 2020
After shopping him around, the Rams have released Todd Gurley.
— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) March 19, 2020
Todd Gurley's rookie contract originally would have run until 2020 and paid him $11.95M. Ended up earning $34.5M over the same term, a $22.55M raise. Never actually played a down in any of the new contract years. #Rams
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 19, 2020
Moral of the story is the Panthers, Vikings, and any other team should go back to the old way of RB contracts unless they just want to reward the players for play during their rookie years. Otherwise its just $ and cap space turning to dust
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 19, 2020

When the Rams shopped RB Todd Gurley in recent weeks, the two teams that showed the most interest were the Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons, per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 19, 2020
The RB cycle in the NFL is an odd one. In the mid 2000s teams started to realize putting too much $ in 1 RB was a bad idea. By early 2010s a few dipped back into it only to re-learn its a bad idea. By 2018 a few convinced themselves again to do it only to re-learn its a bad idea
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 19, 2020
Rams re-signed OT Andrew Whitworth to a three-year contract.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 18, 2020
Per @TomPelissero CB Mackensie Alexander is joining the Bengals on a 1-year, $4m deal
— PFF (@PFF) March 19, 2020
Alexander: 1 of 5 CBs to play 500 snaps and not commit a penalty in 2019 pic.twitter.com/mP3EKm8Yj2
So Cincinnati signs two different Minnesota corners (the other being Trae Waynes). Vikings use a lot of high draft picks on CB but they're basically just down to Mike Hughes. https://t.co/LZWr370KYI
