Talking w @SimmsComplete on Commanders at No. 2: “I think Jayden would have been 1 in a lot of other draft classes if there wasn’t a Caleb…I think Drake May is a really good football player too but I think he’s a little bit more raw than people think.”

Trade scenarios for the Washington Commanders to move up to #1 from NFL executives at the Combine:
“Would moving just from no. 2 to no. 1 decrease the price? From the conversations I had this week, it seems unlikely.
One team executive I spoke to said he’d start by asking for… https://t.co/Bu76Nhuiti

Honestly, 1-5 would not even be controversial with most league executives IMO. They may have the slotting different, but I think this would be fairly believable. pic.twitter.com/5QtQ3E1hso

“My big takeaway from the 2024 Combine is that it’s the greatest offensive line draft class we’ve seen in some time… maybe ever. There are twelve- yes, twelve- guys who I could see get taken on Day One.”

We’ve notified QB Russell Wilson that he will be released after the league year begins March 13.
A statement from GM George Paton and HC Sean Payton: pic.twitter.com/EJO5mNMjew
— Denver Broncos (@Broncos) March 4, 2024
The Broncos will absorb an $85 million salary cap hit for releasing Russell Wilson but can spread that over two seasons. They owe him $39 million for next season (minus any amount offset by Wilson’s salary with a prospective new team) but avoid a $37 million offseason payment.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) March 4, 2024
Russell Wilson will get $39M in cash from the #Broncos in 2024. This means he could potentially sign with a new team for the NFL minimum, as any new contract he signs would be coming off that $39M.
That alone makes him one of the most fascinating QB free agents in a long time.… https://t.co/s0cnSdJFom pic.twitter.com/aAFQyePrmi

Largest dead cap hits in NFL history:
Russell Wilson ($85M)
Matt Ryan ($40.53M)
Aaron Rodgers ($40.31M)
Carson Wentz ($33.8M)
Russell Wilson, again ($26M)To call this historic is an understatement. https://t.co/BeQztvGEin

Still a Buc: Mike Evans and the #Buccaneers have agreed to terms on a two-year deal to avoid free agency and keep him in Tampa, per his agents @DerykGilmore and Darren Jones.
