“At that point, I had no idea what was happening, so I sent an email to Twitter support saying that the email had still been able to get into my account,” Hann said, adding that Twitter answered with an unhelpful form response. Around 9 pm, he said, he got an email saying that his two-factor authentication had been disabled and he could no longer access his account. “The only possibility I can think of is they got in with the help of Twitter Support,” Hann said.

Twitter reacts to Seahawks signing of tight end Greg Olsen

The Seattle Seahawks bolstered an area of need by signing veteran tight end Greg Olsen, and Twitter had some excellent reactions.

On Tuesday afternoon the Seattle Seahawks made their first big move of the offseason, signing veteran tight end Greg Olsen to a one-year, $7 million dollar contract.

Considering Will Dissly’s troubling injury history and the pending free agency of Luke Willson, adding a veteran presence like Olsen – who has proven he’s still a well above-average contributor when healthy – is an excellent move for John Schneider and company.

The move was celebrated by the Seahawks on Twitter, who lauded him for his career accomplishments in a short video:

Olsen originally made his interest in Seattle clear on Twitter, with quarterback Russell Wilson endorsing the idea of the duo coming together – a tweet exchange that, as Wilson put it, aged pretty well.

Wilson was not the only Seahawks player excited about adding Olsen into the mix, as Dissly warmly welcomed his new tight end partner on Twitter as well.

Lastly, Seahawks fans expressed their excitement over the team’s newest acquisition, helping make the 34-year-old feel welcome in just his third NFL home.

Olsen and the rest of the Seahawks will reconvene this summer for the start of training camp, but for now a big area of need has been put to rest, nearly eight months before the start of the season.

Drew Brees announced some welcome good news to New Orleans Saints fans on Tuesday: he intends to return to play again in 2020, putting retirement off for at least another year. While Brees has not yet signed a contract extension with the Saints, he’s previously said that he’ll play in New Orleans or nowhere. His decision is the first domino to fall in a stacked class of free agent quarterbacks, impacting situations around the NFL — and in New Orleans, where backups Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill are both due new deals.

However, Bridgewater and Hill aren’t the only teammates to be touched by Brees’ return. Wide receiver Michael Thomas and running back Alvin Kamara have both enjoyed great success while paired with Brees to start their careers, and they each expressed eagerness to take the field with him again in 2020. While Thomas has already inked a long-term contract extension with New Orleans, Kamara is headed for a contract year but has hinted at some early progress in negotiations. The young Saints playmakers reacted to Brees’ news with posts from their official Instagram accounts:
