Former Stanford OC Tavita Pritchard is a prime candidate to join the #Commanders offensive staff, per sources. He could visit the team in Washington as early as today. If he coaches QBs, his specialty, Ken Zampese could stay on in a different role.

— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) February 22, 2023

#Chiefs coach Greg Lewis, who has interest from several suitors, is en route to visit the Washington #Commanders today, per league source. He’s expected to discuss a potential role with the team at the facility.

— JosinaAnderson (@JosinaAnderson) February 22, 2023

Pritchard, 36, played QB at Stanford. Later lost his job to Andrew Luck. Seems fair.

Lewis spent the majority of coaching career in WR rooms before shifting to RBs in 2021. Washington is losing WR coach Drew Terrell. https://t.co/b98IyrWzkl

I got a chance to speak to 2x Super Bowl winning OC Eric Bieniemy following Mahomes comments and the team’s win over the Philadelphia Eagles. pic.twitter.com/WnI704M65m

— Darren Smith (@DarrenSmithWHB) February 13, 2023

Interesting conversion. Schwartz said he thinks it likely that Bieniemy will lean more into the running game / play-action as part of the traditional Reid offense. Which would fit what Rivera & Co. have said they want. https://t.co/YHY7NUyBYk

— Eat Sleep Hail (@EatSleepHail) February 22, 2023

The Commanders have a bunch of humble professionals on offense that will assimilate with Bieniemy’s style as seen in this clip

A classic story from Childress late in episode: explains why one owner told him he didn’t get a HC job. Had to do with facial hair. Honest. https://t.co/G6JXYfIuW2

Talking with @DarrenSmithWHB about Eric Bieniemy’s biggest strengths: “Clock management…He always understand the situation…He’s someone that can strategize and put a gameplan together.”

Below are the positional values for the franchise tag this year.

As always, a QB tag tops the list. https://t.co/6LJf2hIKYa pic.twitter.com/J0H0UCJNrJ

— Field Yates (@FieldYates) February 21, 2023

Other note on the franchise tag…

This year’s DT Tag is projected at 18.9M per Over The Cap.

Payne is supposedly seeking an extension with an AAV of 22M.

Payne’s cost if tagged twice :
’23: 18.9M
’24: 22.6M
Avg: 20.75

“Ran Carthon, he’s going to clear everything, he’s going to press reset, and it’s going to start with a new quarterback.”

Trust the tape, but verify with data!

This is a great anecdote from Titans’ GM Ran Carthon about the power of analytics, collaboration, & prioritizing best available over team need.

The #Titans will save $14.84M in cap space by moving on from Lewan, who said a few weeks ago that he expected this move to happen. Lewan, who spent nine years with Tennessee, said he’ll consider retirement. https://t.co/QMCzifEsPp

— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) February 22, 2023

The #Titans have informed WR Robert Woods that he is being released, per @Schultz_Report. That will save $12M in cap for Tennessee.

— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) February 22, 2023

The #Titans are also releasing veteran kicker Randy Bullock. That will save another $2M in salary cap space.

— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) February 22, 2023

As things stand now the teams at the top of the 2023 salary cap space projections are:

Bears- $99M
Falcons- $56M
Raiders- $48M
Giants- $47M
Texans- $38M

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) February 22, 2023

Teams with the most cap room to clear to be under the cap:

Bucs- $56M
Saints- $47M
Vikings- $24M
Jaguars- $23M
Titans- $22M

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) February 22, 2023

Had some questions on some of the teams way over the cap “blowing it up”. The problem for some of them is it is not an option. The Saints and Bucs would not be cap compliant if they blew it up. They have so much pushed out they cant just cut players. Even trading would be hard

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) February 22, 2023

These teams put themselves in a position where you have to slowly push forward and eliminate the excess over two to three year periods. Similar to what happened with Atlanta, Carolina, etc…where you get stuck for some time

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) February 22, 2023

Teams like the Titans can blow it up. The Bucs, Saints, Rams and even Packers not so much. They need to focus more on restructures and some cuts to deal with the cap

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) February 22, 2023

Finally finished my Anthony Richardson eval and the right coaches/organization can turn him into a superstar.

Would I like that to be Washington? Yes. Will it happen? No shot.
Will you all still be mean to me in the comments because of his accuracy? Probably

— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) February 22, 2023

Hard pass. Not accurate. No touch on passes. Doesn’t take well to coaching.

— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) February 22, 2023

Doesn’t take well to coaching? You got a source on that? I get the accuracy concerns but I don’t get how anyone can truly evaluate him and say hard pass.

Elite pocket presence and knows how to play the QB position. It helps that he’s the best athlete on any field he steps onto

— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) February 22, 2023

A source? Yeah, but not one I’m saying on a public forum. I’m not here to trash the kid. Just don’t like his game/attitude.

We have all heard the Spencer Rattler issues with coaching too.

— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) February 22, 2023

Todd McShay said Jalen Carter has “character issues .. Whats he like to deal with in the locker room? .. Im forewarning everybody”

We now know Carter led a UGA movement by paying for a walk-on’s meals for a year⬇️

Ja’Marr Chase sat and went Top 6.
Jaylen Waddle sat and went Top 6.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba sat and is suddenly not going in the 1st round ??? This man was a consensus Top 5 pick before the season !!! When did the rules change on how we evaluate ELITE WRs who sit?

— Sam Block (@theblockspot) February 17, 2023

Best case scenario is he runs 4.5 and he makes a living in the slot.

He was never a consensus top 5 pick. Hell, he was never even consensus WR1 in this class.
