Redskins | Washington still has hope for Alex Smith
Washington Redskins senior vice president of football operations Doug Williams said QB Alex Smith (leg) hopefully will be able to play at some point in 2019.
Link to story
Footballguys view: Note how Williams says 'at some point' here. That doesn't mean at the beginning of the season and it may mean well into the regular season. We're hopeful for Smith as well but there's still a chance he never plays football again. Expect Washington to make a move at the quarterback position this offseason, either through the draft or free agency.

49ers | Alfred Morris probably will leave
San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent Alfred Morris is not expected to re-sign with the 49ers this offseason.
Link to story
Footballguys view: Morris is not the same player he used to be and might struggle to find a ton of interest. In 2018, Morris rushed for 428 yards (3.9 YPC) and two touchdowns in 12 games with the 49ers.

49ers | Raheem Mostert likely will return Sun Feb 17, 06:02 PM
San Francisco 49ers restricted free-agent RB Raheem Mostert likely will receive a tender offer this offseason and could even receive a multi-year extension from the team.
Link to story
Footballguys view: Mostert averaged a whopping 7.7 yards per carry in 2018. He fractured his right forearm during the team's Week 9 win over the Oakland Raiders and was shut down for about half of the season. Undrafted out of Purdue in 2015, an original round tender would not give the 49ers much protection if some team wants Mostert. Perhaps an extension is best.

Bills | Zay Jones can play in slot
Buffalo Bills WR Zay Jones has the ability to be a slot receiver and played the position during his college career, in the opinion of BuffaloBills.com's Chris Brown.
Link to story
Footballguys view: Jones finished the year with 56 catches and 25 of those came from the slot. He ranked 42nd in the league in 2018 with 316 receiving yards from the slot position. Jones can do that and in fact could be a consistent chain-mover for the Bills offense in that role. We'll see what the Bills have in store for Jones in 2019.

Patriots | Dwayne Allen may return in 2019
New England Patriots impending free-agent TE Dwayne Allen could re-sign with the Patriots this offseason, but he would likely have to accept a pay cut, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Mike Reiss.
Link to story
Footballguys view: This could be a big return for the Patriots, especially with the future of Rob Gronkowski still up in the air. Several people in the Patriots organization like Allen's professional approach, and he has been around Gillette Stadium over the last few weeks.

Saints | Mark Ingram unlikely to receive tag
New Orleans Saints impending free-agent RB Mark Ingram likely will not receive the franchise tag this offseason, in the opinion of ProFootballTalk.com's Mike Florio.
Link to story
Footballguys view: Ingram should be looking for lead-back work on the open market after splitting time with Alvin Kamara over the last two seasons. We'd like to see a run-heavy team like Baltimore land the veteran power back. Ingram should have no shortage of suitors in free agency.

Broncos | Washington also sought Joe Flacco
Denver Broncos QB Joe Flacco also was coveted by the Washington Redskins, helping spark the Broncos to make the trade with the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday, Feb. 13.
Link to story
Footballguys view: Washington needs all the help they can get with Alex Smith's football future in question. The move kind of came abruptly for the Broncos, although there was buzz they would be interested in acquiring Flacco. Perhaps they wanted to get something done before Washington was able to put a package in place to add the veteran quarterback.
