Quite right.

Cut the first day of the offseason is a message. Either you are all in or get the fuck out.

It goes as follows (all deadlines subject to the traditional 4 p.m. EST time marker):

Feb. 23 - March 9: Franchise/Transition Player Designation Period
March 17: 2021 league year begins
April 5: Start of offseason workouts for teams with new head coaches
April 19: Start of offseason workouts for teams with incumbent coaches
April 23: Last day of restricted free agent signing period
April 28: Last day to match offer sheets for RFAs
April 29 - May 1: 2021 NFL Draft
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2...usion-of-2020/

Free agency "talks" can begin on march 15, 48 hours before the start of the new league year (and FA)

Curious on when our period to negotiate/sign Scherff begins and ends.

Do we tag anyone? Maybe transition tag Darby or Scherff but both are more likely not going to be.

----------------

RFA - Robert Foster and Danny Johnson

ERFA - Kyle Allen and Cam Sims (if we offer 1 yr min, they cant refuse .. very nice)

Heinicke is a RFA too.

We're not tagging Darby.

Hopefully Scherff signs a deal. I'm not sure when that negotiation can begin.

Interesting take on Kyle Smith from the Twitterverse:

“ Washington had a great offseason haul last year and it’s easy to give Kyle Smith all the credit. But I think Rivera and his coordinators have a good idea of which guys fit their system. May be the reason Rivera was reluctant to give Smith all the praise.”

Thoughts?!

Smith has hit it out of the ballpark every year he’s run the draft, find a way to make it work or you’ll see another team, possibly a rival snagging him and will be saying “what if”.

Not saying it’s correct or accurate. Just thought provoking.

Ew.

WFT requests interview with Martin Mayhew and Titans VP of Player Personnel Ryan Cowden.

Idk what this means for Kyle Smith but it's obvious Ron wants someone older than Kyle with more experience.

I don't disagree with his line of thinking but am aware this means exposing Kyle to anybody who wants to hire him as GM.

Loved this article about our new training staff. It seems like we all haven't talked much about the training staff this year, unlike the last few years.

Now if we could just get a quarterback specialist.

[Chief X_Phackter]

I wonder if the decision/timeline to potentially trade for a Veteran QB (Stafford, Watson, etc.) is tied to Alex Smith's decision regarding whether he will continue playing or retire.

From what has been reported, Watson wants to go to Miami so I think that ship has sailed for us...

Stafford or Ryan for me

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of trading for any of them really, I was just wondering what the timeline might look like, with regard to Alex's decision. They traded for Alex in January 2018, so trades involving these Vets could happen at any time.

Yeah I do think Detroit would listen if we offered #19 but do u want to give up a 1 for Stafford? Tough call
