It’s a sad day for me folks. Chase Roullier was one of my favorite players.
We’re gonna miss you big guy! Best of luck to you in your future endeavors. https://t.co/9ZTZmdBHU1

Chase Roullier is more than a cap number. One of the most underrated players on this team since arriving as a 2017 sixth-round pick. Started 63 games, though, only 10 the past two years because of significant injuries. OL suffered accordingly. Enjoyed chatting with him over the…

Roullier needs to get back into football shape, but he’s healthy and wants to keep playing.

I would like to say huge thank you to all Washington fans and media that have supported Chase during his 6 years. It started with a love affair with a 6th rounder, and unfortunately ended this way. A special thanks to the @TheHogfarmers for all the love and support for Chase 1/2

And my family. Chase isn’t on SM so I’ll say goodbye for him. It’s been quite an experience for a young man from Minneapolis. Thanks again for the memories and I’m sure he wishes nothing but the best for his former teammates

Here’s something to know about Chris Rodriguez: according to PFF, almost two-thirds of his career rushing yards were generated after contact with 161 missed tackles forced.

I’m not drafting / signing a good lineman with the idea of playing then at another spot in case someone gets hurt. I want them staying where they’re best.
Trent Williams can be a really good guard, but are you kicking him inside b/c you’re thin at OL and your LG just got hurt? https://t.co/3lp4G15xdz

Last year, Commanders had four centers in Roullier (29), Martin (29), Larsen (31) and Schweitzer (29).
In Feb., Ron Rivera said he wanted to get younger at center bc of injuries over the last two years.
This year, they could have Gates (27), Stromberg (23) and Larsen (32).

I get it with the football guys, but it’s pretty clear Wright is inept.

Ironically, this article is hurting the probability they’ll change the name again with those god awful suggestions. https://t.co/rnpbwJN23d

The Commanders have tried to lobby for RFK legislation in omnibus bills in the past. Don’t expect that to change.
There is no way the future of the world economy and the Commanders stadium should be in the same bill, but here we are!

C.J. Stroud’s score on the S2 test ultimately didn’t hurt his draft position, but @ConorOrr says the ordeal is proof quarterbacks should stop taking the test https://t.co/knbBr2rU8P
— The MMQB (@theMMQB) May 5, 2023
This is just an absurdly off-base representation of what the S2 is.
S2 is a cognitive function test. It’s not an intelligence test. Comparing it to the SAT, Wonderlic, etc says more about the take/writer than it does the test. https://t.co/CRBj3QZfTn
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) May 5, 2023
There are real questions about data privacy. There are real questions about how much data teams really need.
There were also real, societal concerns about previous tests. The S2 is none of those things. It also isn’t the end all, be all a lot of people made it out to be.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) May 5, 2023
The S2 is the single most useful test I’ve heard about, specifically for QB’s. That doesn’t mean a player can’t score horribly because they’re tired when they take it, and that there is close to a 100% correlation of score and success.
Context matters. End of tweets.

Will McDonald IV worked at McDonalds as a teenager. At the end of his shift, belly full of cheeseburgers, he’d sleep in his car for a few hours before school.
Years later, he became a first-round NFL Draft pick.
This is his story.

Good news: The #49ers are giving undrafted WR Isaiah Winstead a chance in the NFL.
Winstead recently went viral on social media by posting highlights displaying his shiftiness at 6’4, 210.
A couple of days later? the 49ers sign him.https://t.co/6PyZXeX9H9 pic.twitter.com/xHdtxXyxxw

If the truth about the Jonathan Gannon tampering situation ever comes out, the NFL might be compelled to make dramatic changes to its hiring cycle, perhaps delaying all head-coaching interviews until after the Super Bowl. https://t.co/dbr5njHYA1

Last August, @WashSpirit star Trinity Rodman became the highest paid player in the NWSL.
Trinity said, “I’m hoping that was the opening for more players to get paid the way that I’m getting paid. At the end of the day, getting paid more money doesn’t define who you are.” pic.twitter.com/FgVisPyB79
