Roster Moves

The Saints are letting the offseason process play out regarding Alvin Kamara’s future, with the 30-year-old running back’s status unresolved as free agency continues. Meanwhile, the Steelers saw Aaron Rodgers take the practice field at OTAs, a moment that left some teammates “a little shocked” after his one-year signing. Elsewhere, the market for top remaining free agents like Deebo Samuel and Jadeveon Clowney remains fluid, with analysts suggesting potential fits for the 14 still-available players. In a separate legal matter, former Jaguars coach Urban Meyer lost his $30M grievance against Jacksonville, saving the team the balance of his contract after his 2021 firing.

Front Office & Coaching

The NFL’s revamped accelerator program now includes notable candidates like Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, who is participating as a head coaching prospect for 2025. Off the field, John Harbaugh lightheartedly referenced his own firing during a resilience speech, using his 2023 dismissal by the Ravens as a motivational anecdote. Minneapolis is poised to secure the 2028 draft with U.S. Bank Stadium as the foundational venue, according to league sources.

Injury & Health

Panthers defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton underwent neck surgery recently, with coach Dave Canales confirming the procedure Monday. In a tragic development, former NFL defensive lineman Josh Mauro died from an accidental overdose involving fentanyl, cocaine, and ethanol, as determined by the Maricopa County medical examiner.

League Operations

The NFL is pushing back on streaming criticism after President Donald Trump and the U.S. Justice Department scrutinized its expanded lineup of games on digital platforms. On a lighter note, teams unveiled their 2026 schedules with creative reveals, from memes to mini-movies, as all 32 clubs brought their A-game to social media. Finally, Kid Cudi rolled through Bengals practice fresh from a concert, catching quarterback Joe Burrow and the team as they ramp up for the season.
