The 2022 first-round pick was among a handful of Jets players who did not participate in Thursday’s session, which is voluntary. Another notable player who was absent was three-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Quinnen Williams. Despite a dip in performance in 2024, Williams is currently ranked fourth among the league’s interior defenders heading into the 2025 season, per PFF.03 June 2025
The other was defensive end John Franklin-Myers, who is in the last year of his current contract. Franklin-Myers, who has made it clear that he wants a contract extension, has been training on his own. The 28-year-old Franklin-Myers set a career high with 7 sacks last season. The Broncos expect him to be on hand at mandatory minicamp, which begins June 10. As for Surtain II, the 2024 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, he has been at the Broncos complex at times during the offseason. The OTA sessi ...03 June 2025
Callahan said during his Tuesday presser that Ward has improved in recognizing various defensive fronts and ways to exploit different coverages that he may not have seen in college. Ward, the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is also working on calling protections that should give him time to operate in the pocket. “He’s seen lots of different pressures, understanding where your answers are, those things that progressed,” Callahan said. Ward in his final collegiate season was sacke ...03 June 2025

After flaming out with Jacksonville — catching 20 passes for 239 yards over ten games in 2024 — Davis is seeking a new home with a wideout-needy team. That could be the Steelers, who recently dealt George Pickens to the Cowboys in exchange for draft picks. Davis, who reportedly failed a physical before the Jaguars released him in early May, could function as a downfield specialist and a potential WR2 behind DK Metcalf if he signs with Pittsburgh. Davis has been a popular name on the visit ci ...03 June 2025
Fiske, who finished third in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting last season, injured his knee in the team’s Divisional Round loss to the Eagles and underwent a minor procedure to correct the issue this offseason. His availability for the start of the 2025 season was never considered to be in doubt, but his full participation in OTAs relieve any doubt for the standout youngster. “I’m ready to roll,” Fiske told reporters.03 June 2025
Kingsbury complimented Robinson as a solid lead back when healthy. “I thought early in the year when he was really healthy, he was what we expect him to be and the focus this offseason has been great,” Kingsbury said Monday. “He knows what this year means to him and can mean to us when he plays at that level.” Robinson, 26, has been mentioned as a potential trade candidate as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. Robinson last season ranked ninth among all running backs in both ca ...03 June 2025

This report comes a day after Smith’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said his client would “definitely like to stay in Miami” in 2025 following his breakout 2024 season. Recent reports linked the Steelers to Smith, a move that would reunite Pittsburgh OC Arthur Smith with Smith after their time together in Atlanta. Smith remaining in Miami would be the best case scenario for his fantasy prospects; he would barely be on the fantasy radar in the Steelers’ stale, unproductive, run-heavy offense. Sm ...03 June 2025
CBS’ Jonathan Jones reports the pick can upgrade to a fourth-rounder if Huff meets certain criteria this season. A potential deal was first reported by Adam Schefter on Friday, with the Eagles waiting until after June 1 to reap some extra salary cap space in the trade. Once one of the top units in the league, the 49ers have undergone significant change along the defensive live, including drafting two expected starters in this year’s draft in addition to the deal for Huff. The current expecta ...03 June 2025
In Denver OTAs, Harvey — a second round selection in the 2025 draft — “has been given ample work in the passing game as he prepares for the kind of multifaceted responsibilities required of running backs in Payton’s offense,” Kosmider said. “The early returns have been promising, with the obvious caveat that he hasn’t yet put on pads and been asked to stonewall a blitzing linebacker.” Bo Nix, who checked down frequently during his time at Oregon and in his rookie season with Denv ...03 June 2025
Daniels has once again impressed Washington coaches and teammates with unmatched work ethic this offseason, following his outstanding 2024 rookie campaign, which included 25 passing scores and six rushing touchdowns. Only five quarterbacks had a higher EPA per play than Daniels. “Just watching him move around, he’s not thinking as much, he’s playing fast and letting his natural gifts kind of take over, and that’s what we want to see,” Kingsbury said during Washington OTAs. Daniels has ...03 June 2025
Rumors of a potential release swirled last week after former Patriots quarterback and current announcer Scott Zolak told reporters that a release of Diggs was on the table for the Patriots, reports that now appear to be unfounded. Diggs’ new three-year, $69 million contract now seems to carry more certainty after the veteran showed up to OTAs Monday. Diggs will look to get back to his 1,000-yard ways in New England after appearing in only eight games in 2024 while with the Texans.03 June 2025
Tanner, entering his first year as an NFL play caller, worked under Ben Johnson in Detroit before landing the Jets job this offseason. Tanner and pass game coordinator Scott Turner said the Jets would use elements of the hyper-efficient Lions offense in 2025 and beyond with Justin Fields under center. “It’s going to be a physical system,” Turner said. “We’re going to run the football, we’re going to be aggressive up front and try to chase explosive plays [in the passing game]. ...

Ragnow and linebacker Alex Anzalone were the only players not in attendance for this week’s OTAs. While Anzalone has made it clear with social media posts that he’s unhappy with his contract situation, it appears that Ragnow also wants a new deal. The 29-year-old center signed an extension in 2021 to make him the highest-paid center at the time. His current deal, which runs through the 2026 season, is just fourth in average annual value among centers and has no guaranteed money remaining. Ra ...
