While NFL business is mostly on hold in CBA limbo, teams are still attempting to get deals ready. The #Redskins, for instance, are working to lock up Pro Bowl G Brandon Scherff long-term to avoid franchise tagging him, sources say. The Cardinals did the same with DJ Humphries.

From NFL Now: The interest in #Redskins LT Trent Williams has picked up now that his trade request has gone public, but Washington wants fair compensation in order to trade him. What now? pic.twitter.com/qzdbfWaCl4

Chatted with Trent Williams tonight. Per earlier reports, the Skins contacted his agent and gave permission to seek a trade. Trent feels relief and told me physically he feels amazing. Doesn’t know what the future holds but excited to see what’s next. #redskins
— Chick Hernandez (@MrChickSports) March 6, 2020
The #Browns have need & cap space. They were interested last yr prior to deadline. Williams is much younger than Peters, has ties to Callahan, & Clev thinks they're "close". They have 4 picks in first 3 rds. Also remember report that #Redskins had interest in Denzel Ward. https://t.co/X0iynOwZWM

Just so "some" people don't get confused - these are just the teams I feel have a need at LT, and the draft capitol they currently have(not what they would give) https://t.co/OxLGLcTCEh

Cleveland will offer a third rounder and TE David Njoku for Big Trent and the Redskins will accept the trade.
.@Redskins @TrentW71 @NFL is 31 years old and after a year off presumably as healthy as he has been in a long time. This was wk 17 of 2018. In a draft that features a lot of “blue chip” OT prospects, are any better than #TW71? You makes the trade? #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/qq32WEFihc

According to multiple league sources, the #Jets are among the teams pursuing #Redskins LT Trent Williams.
If I’m the #Jets, I get this Trent Williams deal done then draft K’Lavon Chaisson at 11. #LSU

If I’m the #Redskins and no common ground can be found with Trent Williams... I talk to the Browns & Jets.
— Chad Forbes (@NFLDraftBites) March 6, 2020
Ask both for their young Tight End (Chris Herndon or David Njoku) plus a 2020 2nd Round Pick.
Note, I would exhaust every effort to find common ground 1st.

Sounds like they want him around. Probably work a new deal that lowers the cap hit this year and gives him extra security in future years.

Which player would be a perfect fit for the #Redskins?
⬇️https://t.co/NVmvhdrfiS
Haskins + Chase Young >>> Tua and I don’t think it’s particularly close.
— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) March 6, 2020
This whole storyline screams smokescreen. It’s gotta be trade bait just to see what teams will give them, because it would take a LOT for them to pass on Young.
I'll buy my scherff Jersey if this gets done.

Bad news for the rest of the NFL: Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes said he didn’t learn how to read defenses until halfway through last season. More on Saturday’s The Shop: Uninterrupted on HBO. https://t.co/h3kL9ocpLC

One name that has been discussed in trade talks: #49ers speedy WR Marquise Goodwin. The deep threat is due roughly $10M over two years, so his contract can be traded. Meanwhile, SF’s young core of WRs is emerging.

Been a rough start for Williams in NY. I'll chalk this up to him not getting the support needed to understand different laws.

Saints putting money where mouth is: they’re planning to place 1st-round tender on restricted FA QB Taysom Hill, per source, meaning NO will have a chance to match any offer sheet he signs with another team or get back a first-round pick. Saints plan to re-sign him soon anyway.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 6, 2020
If you need a middle linebacker in free agency, look no further than Joe "The Show" Schobert. There isn't anything he can't do. @TheSchoGoesOn53 #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/PMU5E5fHiT
— Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) March 4, 2020
I thought he had a good season. You obviously think different. It takes just one team to take him off the market. That’s free agency

The #Colts won’t tender WR Marcus Johnson as a restricted free agent, so he’ll hit the market. Had six starts last year and a big game against the #Buccaneers (three catches for 105 yards and a TD) so he could garner decent interest.

Pssh, who drafts a QB to sit for three years behind a future Hall of Famer? https://t.co/5a63eDCz3P

Completion percentage declined significantly from '18 to '19. I thought this was due to QB injuries, but over 2/3s of the league had a lower comp% in '19 than in '18.
