  • Purdy adds that San Francisco isย comfortable allocating this much money to two quarterbacks.

Redskins

  • Rich Tandler of CSN Mid-Atlantic writes thatย USC QB Cody Kessler looks like a good backup plan for the Redskins if they’re looking for a developmental prospect.

Seahawks

Seattle GMย John Schneider mentionedย during a radio interview withย ESPN 710 Seattle Tuesday morning that heย does not expect S Kam Chancellor to hold out for a new contract again this year.

โ€œNo, I wouldnโ€™t think so,โ€ Schneider said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

  • In regards to their moves to improve their offensive line,ย Schneider explained that they did not make aย conscious decision spend less onย the offensive line, but that’s just the way things ultimately worked out.
  • Schneider did, however, say that they’reย not done adding players to theirย offensive line, saying:ย โ€œitโ€™s just a matter of constantly trying to address that position, I should say, and it never stops. So we addressed it earlier in free agency, weโ€™ll address it again in this draft and then weโ€™ll see whatโ€™s happening this summer.โ€
