New York Jets fourth-round draft pick DL Darrell Jackson Jr. has signed his four-year rookie contract worth the slotted amount of about $5.6 million, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.
Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert will reportedly throw during all three days of this week's mandatory minicamp after taking multiple days off from throwing during OTAs, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.
| Footballguys view: Herbert has been adjusting his footwork in an effort to get the ball out quicker, so now it's time to cement the new mind-body connection. This approach by new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel will help set up run after catch opportunities and help an offensive line that has potential weakness at both guard spots. |

Free-agent DE Byron Cowart (Jets), TE Thomas Odukoya (Patriots), OT Jake Curhan (Panthers), LB Anfernee Orji (Titans) and P Matt Hayball (Saints) will reportedly work out with the Atlanta Falcons this week during their minicamp, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.

Free agent TE Marshall Lang (Seahawks) and DL Jahvaree Ritzie (Seahawks) signed with the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, June 16. The team waived OT Caleb Etienne and DL Monkell Goodwine as corresponding moves.
Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is 'working through something,' according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. No further details were provided.
| Footballguys view: There's no indications that this is anything to be worried about, but McConkey isn't known for his durability, so we'll be tracking this when training camp opens next month. He did reveal that it was a hamstring injury suffered during Phase 2 of the offseason program, so a recurrence in camp would be a red flag. Harbaugh also said that he and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel think McConkey could have a career year, so if you are in on McConkey, stay in on him. |
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is unlikely to have a bid placed on him in the NFL Supplemental Draft by the Cleveland Browns, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.
| Footballguys view: The Browns are one of the teams that make the most sense for Sorsby, so we will take this report with a grain of salt. Perhaps new head coach Todd Monken wants to give Shedeur Sanders a chance to be the clear quarterback of the future, but as we've seen in the past with Cleveland, quarterback decisions aren't always made by the football operations employees. |
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) has not yet been cleared for 11-on-11 work, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. He added, 'He's exactly where he needs to be.'
| Footballguys view: Until Penix is healthy, the quarterback competition won't truly get underway in Atlanta. Hopefully both he and Tua Tagovailoa look like starting quality quarterbacks in camp to make Stefanski's decision more difficult, but enhance the value of the players in the Falcons offense. |
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal is in the rehab process following a knee injury suffered last week, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Broncos 2024 fourth round pick Audric Estime looked good in place of Neal last season, and he's only 22, so this is a chance for him to show he deserves to make the roster whether the team keeps Alvin Kamara or not. |
Free agent RB Zamir White (Raiders) worked out for the Dallas Cowboys in recent days, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has reportedly applied to enter the NFL's Supplemental Draft, according to a source on Monday, June 15.
| Footballguys view: Which team(s) will bid a future pick to land Sorsby, and in which round(s)? That question will be occupying many football minds, but first we need to know whether the NFL will allow him to enter the supplemental draft. Cleveland, the Jets, and Minnesota are among the teams most commonly mentioned as possibilities anywhere from the second to fifth round, by the way. |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara reported for the start of the mandatory minicamp Monday, June 15.
| Footballguys view: Kamara could get traded, get released (and possibly then retire), or just play for the Saints this season. Every day he shows up at the team facility is one day closer to the third outcome, but the first two will save the Saints money. If Kamara is a Saint come Week 1, that's a hit for Travis Etienne's fantasy value, especially in PPR leagues because Kamara's most likely role is as a passing down back. |

Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins was close to a contract agreement with the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason before deciding to re-sign with the Broncos, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: This could be an indication that the Jaguars want to have a running back committee with a strong between the tackles runner to pair with Bhayshul Tuten. Chris Rodriguez Jr. is out after having foot surgery earlier in the offseason. He was the back the Jags pivoted to when they didn't land Dobbins. |

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer told the media on Tuesday, June 16, that QB Dak Prescott will be limited in team drills. He said it's nothing to be concerned about.
| Footballguys view: We trust Schottenheimer here. Even if Prescott is limited at times in camp, he is a proven veteran, so we won't be inclined to reduce the Dallas passing game projections. Matthew Stafford has nursed a back issue in recent training camps, but otherwise was unaffected during the season, and Prescott deserves the same kind of faith we put in Stafford despite his age and physical condition. |

Former Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace is being hired by the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, June 16, as a football advisor.

Link to storyKansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice was released from jail Tuesday, June 16, after a 30-day sentence for a probation violation.
| Footballguys view: If Rice is full go at the beginning of camp, we can probably restore him to his pre-incarceration ADP. He did have a cleanup knee surgery right before going in, so that's not a sure thing. 2025 fourth round pick Jalen Royals has flashed, but has also been inconsistent at times in place of Rice. It doesn't sound like the league is going to give Rice a suspension for his probation violation. |

Free-agent WR Jalen Moreno-Cropper (Cowboys) is scheduled to participate in the New Orleans Saints mandatory minicamp on a tryout basis, according to a source.
Link to storyDenver Broncos RB RJ Harvey (shoulder) underwent surgery this offseason to repair a torn labrum he suffered during the playoffs, according to sources. He was able to do some things during offseason workouts.
| Footballguys view: While Harvey was able to mix into some drills, he did not do much team work as he works his way back, per Luca Evans of The Denver Post. As a rookie, the 2025 second-round pick totaled 193 touches for 896 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns. We'll continue to monitor, but this news doesn't have a significant impact on his outlook for now. Harvey will play behind J.K. Dobbins and will compete with rookie Jonah Coleman for the backup job. |
Carolina Panthers TE Bryce Pierre (undisclosed) was waived from the Reserve/Injured list Monday, June 15.

Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen 'appears to once again be primed for a role on passing downs,' according to John Shipley of SI.com.
| Footballguys view: Allen was one of the best pass blocking backs in the league - as a rookie - and he is not a scatback at 6'0", 204 pounds. He is an excellent receiver, who should get more targets in his second year, and he could surprise if injuries press him into duty on early downs. Keep him on your waiver wire speed dial at least until Chris Rodriguez is healthy. |
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue was praised for his work ethic during OTAs by head coach Brian Schottenheimer, and Schottenheimer believes Blue has become a different player.
| Footballguys view: This has been a steady drumbeat - along with Ryan Flournoy's progress while George Pickens missed voluntary practices - that we shouldn't ignore. Blue should get some manufactured touches in space and a handful of carries a game to get his speed into play. If Javonte Williams were to miss time, fellow 2025 draft pick Phil Mafah - who is also having a good offseason - would probably be the early down back, so Blue's upside in redraft leagues could be limited. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Ted Hurst has impressed with his ability to make plays 'at all three levels,' according to Scott Reynolds of PewterReport.com.
| Footballguys view: Hurst is similar to George Pickens in terms of body type and physical gifts, and it sounds like the Georgia State product is translating against NFL players - at least in practice. If Hurst is ready for significant work as a rookie, it will likely come at the "X" position vacated by Mike Evans when he signed with San Francisco in free agency. That would put Hurst on our fantasy radar, but his snaps would come at the expense of one of the three established receivers - Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, and Jalen McMillan. It's a good problem to have if you're Baker Mayfield, who is undervalued coming off of a season when he and a lot of his offense suffered injuries. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Kenneth Gainwell has been referred to as 'running back 1B' by head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Between Bucky Irving's injury issues in 2025 and Gainwell's big moments as a receiver and runner for the Steelers last yaer, this just makes sense. The Bucs giving Gainwell a two-year, $14 million also indicates that they don't see him as a backup or change of pace option. Irving has more juice than Gainwell, but their ADP's should not be 50 picks apart. |

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte 'looked like one of the best receivers on the field' during minicamp, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots have a glut of receivers since they signed Romeo Doubs and traded for AJ Brown during the offseason. Boutte was used mostly as an "X" receiver last year, which is where Brown will get the majority of his snaps, but both players have the versatility to line up at all three wide receiver spots. Boutte is headed to free agency next year, and presumably the Patriots won't sign him after adding Doubs and Brown. If a team comes with an offer of a third or fourth round pick for Boutte, they could bite. Either way, the 24-year-old's dynasty stock is on the rise. |

Free-agent TE Luke Lachey (Packers) signed with the Green Bay Packers Monday, June 15. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyDenver Broncos WR Michael Woods II (undisclosed) did not participate in the voluntary workout Thursday, June 11.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys WR George Pickens reported for the start of mandatory minicamp Monday, June 15.
| Footballguys view: The most likely outcome continues to be Pickens playing this year on the franchise tag and then heading to free agency. Dallas might be open to trading him, but not many teams would want to take on a $27.3 million cap hit for a player with Pickens reputation. Ryan Flournoy continues to impress and riff with Dak Prescott while Pickens was away during voluntary minicamp, so the Cowboys have little incentive to sign Pickens to a long term deal unless it was very team-friendly. |
New York Jets OG Joe Tippmann agreed to a four-year, $66.4 million extension Monday, June 15. The deal includes $34.9 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have committed to Breece Hall and Tippmann as cornerstones this offseason, and neither one cost more than Romeo Doubs contract with the Patriots. Tippmann is part of a good young offensive line with two recent first round pick tackles who could take a big step forward this year. |
Free-agent WR Hakeem Butler (UFL) signed an undisclosed deal with the Denver Broncos Monday, June 15. Butler was the offensive player of the year with the St. Louis Battlehawks in the UFL.
| Footballguys view: Butler was chosen by the Cardinals as the first pick of the third day of the 2019 draft. He's 30 now, so his peak physical years are behind him, but Butler's huge catch radius and ball skills could still be useful enough to earn a spot on the practice squad for the Broncos. |
