[Washington Nationals @Nationals]

No other player in Washington Nationals history will wear No. 11.

It belongs to Mr. National, Ryan Zimmerman.

Background on the change of heart: Washington initially didn’t offer J.D. McKissic a deal - until he agreed to one in Buffalo, per his agents Doug Hendrickson and CJ LaBoy. Once McKissic heard Washington was willing to match the offer, he didn’t want to leave.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

RB J.D. McKissic - who intended to sign a two-year, $7 million deal with the Buffalo Bills - changed his mind and is instead returning to Washington for the same compensation, per sources.

Commanders have released offensive lineman Ereck Flowers, per his agent @DrewJRosenhaus. He now will be a free agent.

Where is DeAndre Carter

[Nicki Jhabvala @NickiJhabvala]

As @MikeGarafolo reported, it sounds like Landon Collins will be a post-June 1 cut, which allows Washington to spread out his remaining cap hit.

So instead of saving $6.86M this year, they’d save $11.88M — but not until after June 1. His contract remains on the books until then.

Matt Ioannidis is getting released from the Washington Commanders, per source

Defensive back Bobby McCain is signing back with the Commanders on a two-year, $11 million deal, per @DrewJRosenhaus and @NFLrecord.

[Jesse Dougherty @dougherty_jesse]

Stephen Strasburg just finished a live BP session, facing Victor Robles, Lane Thomas, Juan Soto and Josh Bell, throwing to Riley Adams. I counted 25 pitches + warmups on the field and in the pen. Smiling afterward while catching with pitching coach Jim Hickey.

Virginia Tech is the ACC champ after beating Duke by 15.

That's the largest win VT has ever had over Duke, a series which began in 1912.

Yesterday, the Hokies beat UNC by 13, their largest win over the Tar Heels since 1949.

[Field Yates @FieldYates]

Not only is baseball back, but we now get MLB free agency, NFL free agency and the start of NCAA tournament in the next week.

An ELECTRIC time on the sports calendar coming up.

[Evan Drellich @EvanDrellich]

BREAKING: Players have accepted the owners proposal, and the start of spring training is imminent, sources tell @TheAthletic. Major League Baseball is back.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

Sources: The Washington #Commanders are expected to release star defender Landon Collins after the two sides did not agree on a restructured contract. Collins will now hit free agency to cash in again.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

From NFL Now: The #Colts traded QB Carson Wentz to the Commanders, moving on after one frustrating season.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Colts are trading QB Carson Wentz to Washington for a package of packs that is thought to include two third-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

[Albert Breer @AlbertBreer]

Washington offered high picks in the next three drafts to the Seahawks for QB Russell Wilson, per sources. But it became apparent to the Commanders that Seattle preferred to trade him out of the NFC.

So Washington's QB hunt continues.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

Big day Friday for Deshaun Watson.

Carr may want out of that division
