Addressing this only because umpteen folks have asked.
While this is lying and misdirection season, I’m told there is nothing to this Greg Newsome-Commanders noise.
CB remains a need. Washington has been trying in FA, but nothing yet. https://t.co/zDjKtF6BKi
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) March 16, 2024
Newsome, like Jamin Davis, is eligible for a 5th year. Browns have until first week of May to make a decision. I don’t know enough about his career to date for an opinion on what Cleveland will/should do. If they do trade him, that’s likely cause they don’t want the 5th year, so…

Trade condition update: The 2025 6th-round pick that the Steelers traded to the Bears for Justin Fields will become a 4th-round pick if he plays in 51 percent of the plays this season, per source. https://t.co/mwHyivli7I

The Steelers went from Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph to Russell Wilson and Justin Fields for almost nothing.
While I don’t love Wilson or Fields, that’s good business.
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) March 16, 2024
We have agreed to trade Justin Fields to the Steelers, pending physical.

We have acquired QB Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2025 conditional sixth-round pick. @BordasLaw

Can’t say thank you enough to the city of Chicago for taking me in and embracing me. Thank you to the entire Bears organization and ownership for allowing me the opportunity to be part of such a historic franchise. But most of all thank you to my all my brothers that I played… pic.twitter.com/fT1dORwFU5

Smart move by the Steelers. They have insurance for Russell Wilson and it didn’t cost much at all. If Russell struggles or gets hurt, they have arguably the best backup in the entire league.
— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) March 16, 2024
Some people had Fields going to the Steelers from the beginning.
Some people had Russ to the Steelers.
I doubt that ANYONE thought the answer was both.

Arthur Smith, who went from Ryan Tannehill to Marcus Mariota to Desmond Ridder, now is tasked with unearthing what’s left of Russell Wilson and what’s not been unearthed in Justin Fields – a QB he once could have drafted but whom he had no real interest
— Steve Wyche (@wyche89) March 16, 2024
Chicago gave up a 1st, 4th and two 5ths to move up in the 1st for Justin Fields, then traded him for a conditional 6th.
Washington moved back (twice) and drafted Sam Howell in the 5th, then traded him in a pick swap to turn a 4th and 6th into a 3rd and 5th.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) March 17, 2024
Same league that doesn’t want Justin Fields for anything more than a conditional 4th wants to take Jayden Daniels second overall.
It’s very odd!

Has to be the number one concern with Daniels. Has to learn how to protect himself. Too often he has situations where he could easily slide or get out of bounds and every time he tries to cut inside for more yards, exposing himself to hits like this https://t.co/nbQptid50p

Nobody in this class looks faster on tape than Xavier Legette.
I’m not terribly high on him as a prospect, but the ability to make fast guys look not fast is increasingly valuable in today’s NFL.

Chop Robinson is one of the main dominos when assessing whether there will be a desired Edge for Commanders at 36, imo.
Getting harder to see Chop there at 36.Comparable OTs, another story. Washington has loaded up on DE in FA. Appears content on waiting for help in the draft. https://t.co/Myh7bfi5k1

Justin Fields still remembers that night the refs “cheated” a win from the #Bears in Pittsburgh…
Fields also said that Pittsburgh is one of his favorite stadiums to play in.
Now it’s his new home.

Didn’t say exactly that, Mr. III. Said I see similarities in ability, particularly around field vision. Also, a hometown story is nice optics, but newspaper clippings don’t win ball games. https://t.co/F2vNGO9p2S

The NWSL is back this weekend (!!) and after an offseason of change, the Washington Spirit is still a work in progress.
New coach(es), new faces, new colors, new project. Here’s a @PostSports primer from me on how this season is shaping up: https://t.co/jlhKYG9k40
