Saints | Chris Olave in talks for extension Wed Jul 29, 12:47 AM
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is having 'a lot of discussions' about a new contract, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. Olave is playing in the last season of his rookie contract.
| Footballguys view: On the field, Olave (blood clot) is now "full go" and has no restrictions, as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp. Whether he gets a new deal or plays out the current contract, Olave is a solid fantasy prospect with a WR12 ADP. |
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield done negotiating extension for '26 Wed Jul 29, 12:41 AM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team have not come to an agreement on a contract extension, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. The sides are done negotiating and Mayfield will play this season under his current contract.
| Footballguys view: Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times and Greg Auman of FOX Sports both report that the talks have finished with the quarterback reporting to training camp on Tuesday. Mayfield will now have a cap number of $39.975 million in 2026 on the last year of his deal. Depending on how the season goes, the Buccaneers could franchise tag Mayfield in the 2027 offseason. That would put Mayfield in a position to earn $47.97 million on the one-year franchise tender. Whatever the case, Mayfield is once again betting on himself, a tactic that's worked well for him in the past. |

Texans | Tank Dell not on PUP to start training camp Wed Jul 29, 12:35 AM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) will not start Texans' training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Dell said in June that he felt he'd be ready to go at the start of training camp and it appears the Texans agree with his assessment of his health. The speedy wideout missed all of last season after suffering a severe knee injury in December 2024 and was able to do limited work during the team's offseason program. Dell had 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons. His progress is notable and if he builds on it early in camp, expect his WRxx ADP to rise. |

Texans | Jaylin Noel to start camp on active/NFI list Wed Jul 29, 12:34 AM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel (undisclosed) will start training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: According to According to SI.com, it's not clear what's occurred in his situation. The second-year wideout participated fully in the Texans' offseason program without any reported injury, so something happened since the last time the team was practicing. The issue could be something as simple as an illness, or it might be a more serious injury that could keep him out of participating in practice longer. Noel was expected to compete for first-team reps in the slot after a promising finish to his rookie campaign. We'll follow up as more information comes to light. |
Saints | Jordyn Tyson to practice Wednesday Wed Jul 29, 12:30 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson is set to practice with the team on Wednesday, according to a report on Tuesday, July 27. 'I think we'll see him play football tomorrow,' New Orleans coach Kellen Moore said.
| Footballguys view: The team's first-round draft pick (No. 8 overall) didn't do much on-field practice work after the first day of rookie minicamp as the team sought to manage the recurrence of a hamstring injury he suffered before he was drafted. Expect the Saints to be cautious, with Tyson ramping up to being able to fully participate in practice. |

Browns | Denzel Ward, CLE agree on two-year extension Wed Jul 29, 12:29 AM
Cleveland Browns CB Denzel Ward and the Browns have agreed on a two-year contract extension worth $62.2 million, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: The $31.1 million annual average value makes Ward the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history for the second time in his career. In the aftermath of the Browns' dealing defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams in June, Ward became Cleveland's longest-tenured player. Last season, Ward recorded 39 tackles and an interception in 15 games played. The No. 4 pick in the 2018 draft, Ward has 18 interceptions, 104 passes defended, and 361 tackles in eight seasons. |

Raiders | No surprise: Kirk Cousins named the starting QB to open camp Tue Jul 28, 04:53 PM
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak announced Tuesday that four-time Pro Bowl selection Kirk Cousins will be the starting quarterback over first overall pick Fernando Mendoza to begin training camp. "When we go out to practice [on Wednesday], Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback," Kubiak said. "He's the guy, and he deserves it because he's played really good football. But I want Fernando and Aidan [O'Connell] to push him."
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden notes, Kubiak's decision comes as no surprise. Cousins, who signed with Las Vegas in April, played the majority of the first-team reps during the offseason program and looked "excellent," according to Kubiak. Meanwhile, Mendoza played with the second and third team along with Aidan O'Connell. However, how many reps each quarterback will have with a particular group will be a "moving target," Kubiak said. As for Mendoza, Kubiak wants to see how well the newcomer handles adversity, his ability to correct mistakes, and his demeanor. In the meantime, Cousins is it. |

Saints | Chris Olave has no restrictions and is 'full go' Tue Jul 28, 04:20 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (blood clot) is now 'full go' and 'has no restrictions' as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp, according to a source on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Olave missed Week 18 because of a blood clot in his lung, and the team limited his work during the spring in order to continue monitoring the situation. On Tuesday, GM Mickey Loomis said that Olave has been given the green light to do everything during this summer's practices. Olave's three-game stretch to finish the season was impressive. He was WR2 from Weeks 15 through 17. He's being drafted as WR12. |

Link to story Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet a "potential close call" for Week 1 Tue Jul 28, 04:10 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet has no set timetable for a return, but the Seahawks are 'going to be smart with him', in the opinion of Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Breer went on to suggest that Charbonnet's readiness for Week 1 looms as "a potential close call" -- and the Seahawks are going to be smart with him, in the hopes that they get his best when it matters most. As such, first-round pick Jadarian Price is a pivotal figure. Even with all the talk about Charbonnet being ahead of schedule, his surgery didn't take place until February. The usual nine-month turnaround indicates a November return. We'll continue watching for more, but the Week 1 talk seems overly optimistic. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (leg) told the media he is a 'full go' for practice on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: McConkey was limited during the offseason program as a result of a hamstring injury. Although it didn't truly seem like it was serious at the time, there was a looming worry that McConkey's start to the season (or at least training camp) would be delayed as a result. Now that he's ready to, FanSided's G.C. Bellchamber believes McConkey should quickly become Los Angeles' primary offensive weapon in Mike McDaniel's YAC-centric scheme. McConkey is being drafted as WR20, a number he's capable of outperforming. |

Giants | Getting Malik Nabers ready for Week 1 is the plan Tue Jul 28, 02:55 PM
According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, the Giants have been targeting a Week 1 return for Malik Nabers.
| Footballguys view: We finally got some concrete news on Nabers' status when we learned the star wideout won't be on the physically unable to perform list when training camp opens Wednesday. By keeping Nabers off the list, the Giants can integrate him into practice as he progresses. He will have a reduced workload early in camp, but the team will have the freedom to determine his participation on a day-to-day basis. Even if Nabers isn't ready for the opener, the Giants can evaluate him weekly rather than locking in a four-game absence. |

Colts | Indianapolis plans to keep all QBs on the roster Tue Jul 28, 02:38 PM
Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard says the plan is to keep QB Daniel Jones, QB Riley Leonard, and QB Anthony Richardson 'as of now.'
| Footballguys view: That despite the fact that Richardson's trade request, made earlier this year, remains in place. "It is. I think they're realistic and we're realistic," GM Chris Ballard said. "We're not just giving him away, not going to do that." As Profootballtalk.com points out, Ballard's comments suggest the Colts' commitment to keeping all three quarterbacks could shift if another team makes an aggressive play for the 2023 first-round pick. The absence of such a play this offseason may mean that it will take an injury elsewhere in the league for someone to offer the Colts anything that would change their mind. |

Green Bay Packers DL Micah Parsons is expected to miss 'the first month and a half of the season,' according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman.
| Footballguys view: Schneidman believes Parsons ' return in Week 6 is the best-case scenario. Nine months of no football gives him a practice return of Week 4 prep and a couple of weeks to ramp up. "Never doubt a guy with his physical gifts," Schneidman said, "but we also don't know how the rest of his rehab will go." Stay tuned. |

Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray and QB J.J. McCarthy will both get first-team reps as they compete for the starting job in training camp, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: In announcing the plan for the two QBs to share reps, HC Kevin O'Connell told reporters the Vikings are looking to see who can elevate those around them and run the offense with comfort. The shared snaps were expected. Murray still seems like the favorite, but McCarthy reportedly closed the gap in the team's final mini-camp. We'll be watching this one closely. |

| Footballguys view: Although he opened camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, Kraft has been targeting a Week 1 return from the torn ACL he suffered last season. We'll continue to monitor that. Kraft can be activated from the PUP list at any time. In addition to being ready to play, Schneidman told viewers he wouldn't be surprised if Kraft becomes the "highest paid tight end in the league in the next couple of weeks." |

Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (knee) is a week or two away from practicing, according to general manager Chris Ballard.
| Footballguys view: Pierce, who underwent offseason ankle surgery, was placed on the physically unable to perform list Monday. He can come off the list at any time. Remember, the Colts re-signed Pierce this offseason and paid him to be their WR1. It would be great to see him get some work in that role before the season starts. If he's healthy, that role and his WR36 ADP would offer a substantial potential reward for the risk. |
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield talks not close Tue Jul 28, 11:43 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team haven't made significant progress on a contract extension as his self-imposed deadline nears Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield, who is set to report to training camp on Tuesday without a new contract, has publicly stated that he does not want to continue negotiations past the start of camp. After signing a three-year, $100 million deal during the 2024 offseason, there's one year left on his current contract. It was recently reported that Mayfield would be willing to play under the franchise tag in 2027, which would be a one-year deal worth $47.97 million. But that, of course, depends on the Buccaneers electing to tag him. We'll continue to monitor, but there's no immediate fantasy impact. |

While he has more experience leading the Steelers to the postseason than any other quarterback on the roster, Rodgers isn't getting any younger from here. While anybody can have a change of heart, Dynasty managers should take him at his word and plan accordingly. |
