Contract Agreements & Extensions

The Falcons secured a four-year, $141 million extension with star wide receiver Drake London, while the Seahawks agreed to a three-year, $42M deal with edge rusher Derick Hall through 2029 that includes $21M guaranteed. In Pittsburgh, linebacker Nick Herbig signed a four-year, $100 million extension with $42 million guaranteed after sitting out individual drills during the team's mandatory minicamp, where teammate Joey Porter Jr. also attended but skipped drills amid contract negotiations. The Broncos gave Pat Surtain II a $5 million raise this year via a contract adjustment as teams continue to lock up their young talent before the 2026 season.

Wide Receiver Movement & Team Reactions

Chicago Bears receiver Rome Odunze is embracing his role as the team's WR1 after the team traded DJ Moore to the Bills, with fantasy analysts noting he, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland are being drafted closely together as the Bears restructure their receiving corps. In New England, star wideout A.J. Brown expressed being "still in awe" after joining the Patriots, raising questions about whether the team finally secured its WR1 after Brown's long-standing wish to play there. Meanwhile, Eagles teammates showed mixed reactions to Brown's departure, ranging from a sense of loss to relief that "the saga is now in the rearview mirror," while Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. discovered Mike Evans was signing with the 49ers on social media before receiving confirmation from quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Quarterback Development & Offensive Strategy

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is working on overhauling his footwork with new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to speed up his release, while Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase noted that defensive additions have raised expectations for the team's success in 2026. Browns coach Todd Monken has expressed concerns about drafting Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the NFL's supplemental draft, calling it a "slippery slope" if he's ruled ineligible to play college football, adding uncertainty to Cleveland's quarterback situation.

Injury Updates & Health Concerns

Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is still recovering from injuries that shortened his 2025 season, though the third-year receiver doesn't believe they'll linger into this coming season. Texans linebacker E.J. Speed, who signed a two-year deal worth up to $13 million in the offseason, injured a quad during team workouts and is now out indefinitely, creating a potential depth concern for Houston's defense as they prepare for the upcoming season.
