    Wentz has struggled to stay healthy, but he’s generally been very good when healthy. Foles has struggled to stay healthy and he’s been way more inconsistent when healthy

    The #Raiders and the Coliseum Authority have reached an agreement for the team to remain in Oakland for the 2019 season at least and the sides are ironing out final nuances and details of the deal, sources say. It could be wrapped up and presented to the board as early as Friday.

    The #Browns are signing OT Greg Robinson to a 1-year deal to be their left tackle, source said. The former No. 2 overall pick has a new life.

    from: Cleveland Browns Free Agent Review: OT Greg Robinson
    Robinson made himself a good amount of money with his performance in Cleveland last year.

    Greg Robinson was a key component of the Browns’ offensive line turning things around.

    The Browns signed Robinson last June to a veteran minimum contract of $790,000. The former No. 2 overall pick in 2014 had been traded to the Detroit Lions in 2017, but finished the year on injured reserve with them. With the retirement of LT Joe Thomas, Robinson likely saw Cleveland as being an opportunity where he could content for a starting job.

    Productivity Level Last Season: In training camp, the Browns were positioning Joel Bitonio to move to left tackle, with rookie Austin Corbett at left guard and Robinson being a versatile backup. Instead, Hue Jackson made the bold (and dumb) last-minute decision to make undrafted rookie Desmond Harrison his starting left tackle. At the half-way point of the season, Harrison came down with an illness that would keep him out of Week 9’s game against the Chiefs. That’s when Robinson was called into action.

    Robinson performed quite well, and then QB Baker Mayfield was a big vocal advocate of the job he did protecting him. It just became “assumed” from then on out that Robinson had surpassed Harrison as the team’s starting left tackle for the rest of the year. From a performance perspective, Robinson exceeded expectations big time. Here are some PFF-highlighted stats from his 2018 season:

    The big issue for Robinson was the number of penalties he would incur.

    Why Keeping Him Could Make Sense: Cleveland spent all of last offseason trying to figure out how to replace LT Joe Thomas. They didn’t need “the next Joe Thomas,” but they needed someone serviceable. For as athletic as Harrison was touted to be, he wasn’t nearly consistent enough to be counted on. Robinson showed an ability to be an above average tackle. And, most importantly, he just worked with the pairing of QB Baker Mayfield and then-offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens. Why use a big investment on a left tackle in the draft or free agency when Robinson, who is still just 26 years old, could be that left tackle of the future? Even Joe Thomas thinks he could be that guy!

    Cleveland can get the discount of Robinson wanting to play with a Mayfield and a winning team, so I will project a 4-year, $25 million deal with $8 million guaranteed for Robinson, which is similar to what Alejandro Villanueva is getting from the Steelers.

    Eagles GM Howie Roseman said no tag for Nick Foles. Eagles will let him become a free agent

    Dianna Russini@diannaESPN
    In the spirit of the contract that was agreed upon between Nick Foles and the Eagles, allowing him to hit free agency sends a strong message to the players in Philadelphia. GM Howie Roseman and the Eagles continue to do it the right way.

    Andrew Siciliano@AndrewSiciliano
    Nick Foles immediately becomes the #1 free agent in the @NFL

    My sense overall so far hearing from a sizable sample of the league is that 1) there is an acknowledgment that passing is ascendant and that college concepts are here to stay 2) analytics are useful and in the rise and 3) running back by committee is not going anywhere.
