Quarterback Updates Deshaun Watson downplayed criticism as he returned to Cleveland for day two of mandatory minicamp, noting his focus on rehab after the Oct. 20, 2024 Achilles rupture. Across the league, Jalen Hurts addressed the A.J. Brown trade in a brief press stint, emphasizing the offense’s continuity despite losing the premier receiver. Meanwhile, the league’s “32 unanswered QB questions” panel highlighted upcoming extensions for players such as Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, while speculating on the start date for rookie Fernando Mendoza.

Roster Moves & Signings The Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive end AJ Epenesa after the Browns withdrew from a prior agreement, bolstering a pass rush that ranked third in sacks last season. In New York, Seth Ryan rejoined the Jets, citing the personal significance of returning to a family‑run organization and adding depth to the wide‑receiver room. On the West Coast, the Arizona Cardinals reported rookie Kaleb Proctor’s meniscus tear, projecting a multi‑week absence that could thin the defensive‑line rotation ahead of the preseason.

Coaching & Player Health Giants head coach John Harbaugh expressed optimism about Malik Nabers’ recent progress, indicating the wide receiver could be available soon after a lingering injury. Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson praised the “explosiveness” of the new offense installed by coordinator Declan Doyle, suggesting the scheme will better leverage his dual‑threat skill set as the Ravens finalize minicamp drills.

Contract Extension Kansas City secured its franchise quarterback with a reworked $504.75 million deal that adds two years and extends Mahomes through the 2033 season, reinforcing the Chiefs’ salary‑cap strategy and locking in a revenue‑generating star amid a league‑wide push for longer elite contracts.
