NFL Trade Rumors
Commanders G Samuel Cosmi suffered an injury in their NFC Divisional Round win over the Lions. Washington HC Dan Quinn said Cosmi is “hitting all the benchmarks” with his recovery but is unsure about his full return.
“Yeah, I know that with Sam, he’s hitting all the benchmarks, but when does that get there? I don’t know,” Quinn said, via CommandersWire.
Quinn added he’s been pleased with their current offensive linemen available like first-round OT Josh Conerly and recently signed G Nate Herbig.
“What I do know is that I love the competition that we have on the offensive line right now at guards and centers, and who’s playing that right tackle, and how are we working through the guys?”
Quinn is keeping a watchful eye on their offensive linemen to determine their best starting five players.

I’m just super excited that he’s on our team. He’s one of us, and he’s our brother, and he’s all about continuing to grow and making sure he’s putting the best out there; and that’s his approach.”
Giants HC Brian Daboll gave an update on the progress of first-round QB Jaxson Dart at this point in the offseason.
“He’s done excellent picking up information,” Daboll said, via Jordan Raanan of ESPN. *“It’s really good to have Russ and Jameis and even Tommy because Tommy has been in this system for a few years here. Kind of the head statesman in terms of that with all the adjustments that take place and the calls. He’s fit right in with those guys. He’s smart, aggressive with the football, which I like. And then the true test will be once we start with live hitting and preseason games and things like that. He’s...
