$23.5 mil total guarantees;
$12.5 mill signing bonus;
first year cap hit: $4.125 million...
full breakdown here: https://t.co/cNdHhE5cEW
After studying the numbers for the Fuller contract, it looks to me like it's a 1 year trial period before the team is locked into huge cap numbers, because his big $10M base in 2021 doesn't guarantee until just after the start of the 2021 league year. They can get out after 2020
— TheHogSty (@TheHogSty) March 27, 2020
Probably not, but they could bc base jumps to $10M so cap hit would allow it prior to the gtd trigger day. I'm just saying that if things really, really go wrong..then it's possible.

What 'Skins need to decide: Is having Trent Williams on the 2020 team, playing well and benefitting Haskins (yes, off field drama) AND a 2022 5th-rd comp pick worth more than a 3rd or 4th RD in '20?
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) March 27, 2020
Elite tackle giving Haskins a chance to make strides has to be worth something.

Former Redskins CB Shawn Springs said Quinton Dunbar is a average to below average CB in his opinion he stated he wasn’t tested against the best WR’s last year.

Skins really seem to like JD McKissic. Found this one run. Some quick twitch here. pic.twitter.com/Sw6Mw11F50
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 27, 2020
Sigh. Who said that? Why is this so difficult for some? Guice is an everydown back. Yes he can catch. But like when Thompson was here they need a 3rd down RB. That’s what McKissic would do. Why the hell did a run by a new player become about DG? Man.
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 27, 2020
Health a huge key for both. Add Zack Moss to that list too as a possibility tho projected as a 2nd rounder. (They did a video chat with him)

NFL owners are scheduled to vote Tuesday by conference call on expanded playoffs beginning in '20 season. That's expected to be ratified. Vote also includes how teams will be seeded and which networks will broadcast games. Owners will discuss on which days games will be played.

I know for a fact Rivera & Co. want to add a bigger WR in the draft and Pittman checks all the boxes -- 6'4" 223lbs, smart, hard worker, even special teams ace. Would not be surprised at all if they take him w/ 3rd round pick if he's still on the board.

Feel bad for the GMs who are now going to have to draft based on imperfect information. Going to see a lot of mistakes now that you would never see from these great GMs, like drafting Tom Brady 199th overall or Lamar Jackson as the 5th QB in his own class.

Teachers are figuring out ways to teach fractions to 4th graders on Zoom. Think NFL executives can manage to draft 250 college football players without needing a 12-hour meeting to discuss someone's exact pro day results.

Random observation: By retiring with 117 losses, Eli Manning avoided breaking Vinny Testaverde's all-time QB loss record of 123. Drew Brees (111) is the active QB who's closest to catching Vinny. Matthew Stafford (79) has a good chance of catching Vinny in five or six years. pic.twitter.com/Wl3Ngsm4XB
