Interesting stuff from Micah Parsons… 📰 – @clarencehilljr.bsky.social

The Bills signed CB Maxwell Hairston to his 4-year, $15.2M contract.

The Packers’ secondary will look different with Jaire Alexander gone, but not every discussion about his release holds up to scrutiny. For @theleap.bsky.social: Separating the truth from the fiction about the post-Alexander secondary

Rams OT Alaric Jackson, a key member of the O-line who just signed an extension, is dealing with blood clots once again, per The Insiders. Similar to what he had in 2022. While the belief is he’ll play in 2025, there are still questions. That explains the DJ Humphries signing.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, on the TJ Watt situation now that minicamp has ended: “I’m optimistic we’re going to get things done because we got two sides that want to get things done. When that’s going to occur… I do not know.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on MarShawn Lloyd: “He’s different in a lot of ways than some of the other guys. He definitely has some great explosiveness. Could be a real valuable weapon out of the backfield I think. We saw that when he was healthy. He’s a guy that’s got to prove it.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Devonte Wyatt: “I think he’s had some moments where he’s been outstanding, and I think we can build on that. … Another guy that I expect to go out there and play his best ball going into Year 4.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Elgton Jenkins, who wants his contract addressed by the team: “Since he’s been back here, the communication’s been great between him and I. I expect him to be ready to go when we come back. He’s a guy I really respect how he works.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Jordan Love: “I think Jordan’s been more vocal, and we need him to be, honestly. He’s got to take that upon himself. I just don’t know many quarterbacks in this league that aren’t the voice of not only the offense, but their team. All the great ones do it.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on whether Christian Watson’s progress back from his ACL tear suggests he might return earlier than initially expected: “Probably not to be honest.” LaFleur adds that it “is exciting to see how far along he is.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur when asked if Aaron Banks, Jayden Reed, Quay Walker, and/or Rasheed Walker could miss the first day of training camp. “I would say hopefully not.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur says QBs, rookies, and injured players will return to Green Bay before the July 22 report date for training camp. “We’ll have about half the team back here a little bit early.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on retiring team president Mark Murphy: “I think I can speak for everybody within our football space just how appreciative we are of Mark and the kind of leader that he is.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on second-year C Jacob Monk: “He’s done a nice job. I can tell you he’s a lot more comfortable and confident in terms of going out there and knowing what to do. For him, it’s just going to come down to those live reps.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on CB Carrington Valentine: “He’s been extremely coachable. High-character guy. Busts his butt everyday. He’s approached in the right way. I’m excited for him. He continues to prove the more he plays, the better he gets.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on facing Aaron Rodgers in 2025: “It will be a great challenge for us. We all know what kind of player he is and how good he is. I’m sure he’ll be telling everybody all our signals. So, we’ll have to maybe play that mind game with him a little bit.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on how much of scheme installation has occurred so far: “The majority of the install that these guys are going to have to know throughout training camp is pretty much in.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on how many starts a QB needs before team knows what it has in him: “I think every case is a little different. I feel pretty confident that we know what we have in Jordan [Love]. We got a lot of confidence in him.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Jordan Love’s long TD to Mecole Hardman to end Wednesday’s minicamp practice: “It was a great throw. He hit the guy right in stride.”

New Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers: “A lot of decisions that I’ve made over my career and life from strictly the ego — even if they turn out well — are always unfulfilling. But the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling.”

What’s next for QB Kirk Cousins?

Jaguars coach Liam Coen told reporters that WR Brian Thomas Jr., who landed hard on his shoulder, is fine and could’ve gone back out. “Just precautionary.”

The Packers have announced the following promotions and additions to the personnel department: Mark Owen: national scout Daric Whipple: pro scout Sam Fleming: pro scout Connor Koch: area scout (Northeast) Dan Zegers: scouting coordinator

The Packers have signed defensive tackle Cameron Young. Young, a 2023 fourth-round pick, spent his first two seasons with the Seahawks.

The newest member of the Broncos — JK Dobbins.

The newest member of the Broncos — JK Dobbins.

At long last, the Broncos sign one of the top free agents available, as JK Dobbins lands in Denver

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on why team is confident in Elgton Jenkins moving to center: “He’s done it for us. Shoot, he went in I don’t know how many games last year and played. Was it two? He did a nice job. We feel really confident with his ability to go in there.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on CB Kalen King’s injury: “It’s nothing long term. He’ll be back for training camp.” LaFleur says King is doing “much better physically than he was a year ago.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Elgton Jenkins not practicing Tuesday: “He is helping out and coaching the other guys right now. He’s worked on the side, but we thought it was best to keep him out today.” Jenkins reportedly wants the team to address his contract.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Bo Melton practicing at CB and WR: “Just thought that if there’s somebody that could do both, he could be that guy.”

The Vikings have agreed to a contract extension for TE Josh Oliver, per me and Tom Pelissero. It’s a 3-year, $23.25M deal with a max value of $27.5M, including 19.9M in total guarantees, source said.

Falcons QB Kirk Cousins, who has skipped voluntary OTAs, is present at mandatory minicamp, per The Insiders. No surprise. Cousins is set to be the backup to starter Michael Penix Jr, absent a trade prior to the season. Atlanta has said it plans on keeping him.

The Cardinals signed No. 16 overall pick DL Walter Nolen III

The Steelers All-Pro edge TJ Watt, seeking a new deal, is not in attendance at mandatory minicamp, per me and Mike Garafolo. No progress on a long-term deal.

As expected, Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins is in attendance at mandatory minicamp but isn’t participating in the on-field work.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin, who is seeking a new deal and has been away from OTAs, is not attending minicamp, sources say.

The Bills have signed long-time Panthers star LB Shaq Thompson to a one-year contract.

The Bengals and reigning NFL sack leader Trey Hendrickson remain at an impasse on a multiyear contract extension, with the star pass rusher unlikely to show up for today’s minicamp.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Some calming news for Texans fans: QB CJ Stroud is throwing during mandatory minicamp after a spring of taking it easy. Coach DeMeco Ryans had said, “He’ll be good to go. No concerns on my end there.”

Bills RB James Cook is present at mandatory minicamp, source said, though it’s unclear how much he’ll participate as he seeks a new deal.

New Texans RB Nick Chubb has now passed his physical and signed with Houston, sources say. The former Browns Pro Bowler agreed to terms over the weekend and is getting a 1-year, $2.5M deal that can be worth up to $5M.

The Jaguars are giving P Logan Cooke a 4-year, $16M deal, per source.

The Packers have officially released Jaire Alexander. A statement from GM Brian Gutekunst: “In his seven seasons with the Packers, Jaire established himself as one of the premier players in the NFL at one of the game’s most challenging positions. …

Pittsburgh being left out is insane. Come on.

In addition to Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson will all be owners. Foyt will also serve as EVP and Jackson will be Chief Brand Office and President of the Indianapolis Colts Foundation.

The Colts announced details on the transition of ownership from late Jim Irsay to his daughters Carlie-Irsay Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson. Most notably, Carlie Irsay-Gordon will become Owner & CEO, but all three sisters will share leadership duties for the club.

New Bucs edge Hassan Reddick, who has not attended voluntary OTAs, is in the building in anticipation for mandatory minicamp, sources say. Coach Todd Bowles was not concerned, saying, “I’m sure one of these days we’ll see him.”

The Packers offered corner Jaire Alexander a reduced, incentive-laden contract that would have made him a free agent in 2026, according to Albert Breer. Alexander obviously balked at that offer. Now, he’ll try to find a better deal (or a similar deal in a situation he prefers).

The Packers kick off mandatory minicamp this week, and @theleap.bsky.social has you covered: – What to watch for on the field during minicamp – The contract situation nobody’s talking about – How much Aaron Rodgers actually affects Week 8’s Packers-Steelers game

Jaire Alexander played 30/51 regular season games after signing his extension in 2022. David Bakhtiari played 13/51 regular season games in the 3 full seasons after signing his extension in late 2020. Tough luck for the franchise staples as they were transitioning to the Love era.

The Packers are releasing star CB Jaire Alexander today, sources say. The Packers and Jaire Alexander agreed to explore a potential trade this spring, while a restructured contract was also discussed. In the end, Green Bay and Alexander move on with a clean break.

my son waking me up for some Bluey

The Browns had discussions with Nick Chubb prior to the NFL Draft, but the two sides could not agree on a deal. Cleveland turned to the Draft and Houston set its eyes on Chubb. Assuming all goes well on Monday, he should land with the Texans to join Joe Mixon.

A second act with one of the NFL’s most intriguing offenses.

Sources: Browns free agent RB Nick Chubb, one of the most decorated players available, is expected to sign with the Texans on Monday if all goes well with his physical, sources say. Chubb’s 2024 ended prematurely with an injury, but now he could return for more in Houston.

Former Packers wideout Malik Turner scored a long touchdown to extend the Michigan Panthers’ lead over the Birmingham Stallions to 34-17 in the USFL Conference Championship Game.

As the Dolphins and star CB Jalen Ramsey continue to work towards a trade, Ramsey is not planning to attend mandatory minicamp this week, sources say. He’ll stay away, as the situation works to a conclusion.

Jack McGlynn thunderbolt

After months of speculation, it is as officially official as it gets. 🖊️

No. 8 it is for Aaron Rodgers

New Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers has now officially passed his physical in Pittsburgh and signed his 1-year deal. It’s a 1-year deal worth up to $19.5M with $10M guaranteed and $13.65M base.

Even if Aaron Rodgers hit the max value of his contract with the Steelers ($19.5 million), it would only rank 17th among the quarterback cap numbers this season.

Veteran NFL WR Chris Conley, who most recently played for the 49ers, has decided to retire after 10 seasons to follow his dream, his agent, Jonathan Perzley. Conley is heading to film school back at UGA to pursue dreams of being a filmmaker. So cool. 🎥.

In just a few minutes, you can hear me talk Packers on 105.7 The Fan Milwaukee sports radio. You can also check it out here 👇 https://www.audacy.com/stations/thefanmilwaukee

After a whirlwind day, here is our full story on Aaron Rodgers agreeing to terms with the Steelers, wrapping up the story of the offseason: www.nfl.com/news/qb-aaro…

More on the Steelers signing QB Aaron Rodgers, who said on @patmcafeeshow.bsky.social that he would play for $10M, and that does sound like the kind of low number the contract will be.

Frank Ragnow’s retirement got me thinking about low key MVPs that occupy the middle positions of football. A center, nose tackle, off-ball LB, and a slot defender. I wrote about 4 players with an underrated impact down the spine of football. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/…

Aaron Rodgers participating in minicamp, then heading off for the summer has always made the most sense. Now, reality.

The most important news on Bluesky right now.

Aaron Rodgers vs Justin Fields in Week 1.

With Aaron Rodgers landing with the Steelers, he now officially has a chance to play against the Packers during the 2025 season. Rodgers has beaten 31 of the 32 NFL teams. Green Bay, for obvious reasons, is the only one against which he hasn’t notched a win.

🚨 🚨 🚨 Aaron Rodgers plans to sign with the Steelers, per The Insiders. It’ll be a 1-year deal,. At long last, the four-time MVP lands in his best spot.

looked up this Lamar Jackson number because of this Drake Maye run and throw to Hunter Henry against the Rams last year. Maye reached 16.63 MPH on this play, which was called back for an illegal formation penalty (of course).

Lamar hit a 20.13 MPH top speed here lol

Terry McLaurin playing hardball with the Commanders is relevant to the Packers. The two teams face off in Week 2, and that matchup looks different if Washington doesn’t have its top wideout in the fold. It’s early, and the situation could settle. But it’s something to monitor.

New Football 301! @mattharmon.bsky.social & @fourverts.bsky.social join me for make or break seasons! Who has the most on the line in the NFL in 2025? Colts regime, Greg Roman, Trevor Lawrence, Kyler Murray + more. Plus, 1 trade we want to see before training camp. Like Jalen Ramsey to Big D (🎥)

good stuff from Justo

An intriguing option….

100% 🐝

“I respect that you’ve got to ask it, but it’s just a crazy question.” Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald makes it very clear that Sam Darnold will be the team’s starting QB. 👇👇👇

As one might say, here we go. Love it. @fabriziorom.bsky.social

evil 3rd down look from Mike Zimmer here that uses Micah Parsons as bait. puts Parsons as the stand-up LB, forcing the OL slide to work to him (because you don’t want a RB on Parsons duh). Parsons drops, the center does a nice job to rally, but the Panthers end up a blocker short.

watch Micah Parsons hit the turbo button once he turns the corner

violent instawin from Osa Odighizuwa to get the strip sack

I liked some of the Panthers designs out of Empty formations in 2024, especially as the season went along. This Sail variation pops open Jalen Coker, who pulls away for a TD (Coker hit a top speed of 21.15 MPH on this play, per NGS)

what a great play by Donovan Wilson (#6). Blasts the TE back and makes the tackle.

Bryce Young to Jalen Coker (aligned outside @mattharmon.bsky.social) on a dig to convert on 3rd down. Great pocket and I love how early Young throws this with Coker just breaking at the numbers.

oh no

While much remains uncertain about the 2025 Packers, we have already learned some important details about them at this stage of the offseason. For @theleap.bsky.social: Two truths and a lie about Green Bay’s offseason https://www.theleap.football/p/two-truths-and-a-lie-about-the-packers

The Patriots and No. 4 pick LT Will Campbell have agreed to terms on his four-year, $43.66M fully guaranteed rookie contract with a $28.39M signing bonus and Campbell has signed it.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Romeo Doubs: “I can only speak to what I know, and what I know every day is how he comes in the building. … He looks great out there.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Zach Tom: “I think he can play any position. It just happened to be that he kind of found his home at right tackle. … I think that’s the plan [to keep him at right tackle], absolutely. That’s where he’s kind of found his home.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Luke Musgrave: “I think he’s another guy that I’m excited about. The whole key is we have to keep him on the field and keep him healthy.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Lukas Van Ness working along interior: “Situationally, you can do that. In known passing situations, there’s some thought around that. A lot of it’s going to be dependent upon everybody else as well. Lukas has shown a lot of growth.”

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Matthew Golden: “I just like his approach, how he comes to work every day. He gives great effort. His attitude’s been outstanding. Obviously, he’s a talented young player. He’s still got a lot to learn, but I think he’s shown improvement every day.”

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans on QB CJ Stroud’s limited reps in the spring: “There’s no concerns with C.J. It’s just general soreness. We’re taking extra precaution with him, but he’ll be good to go. No concerns on my end there.”

the Bengals-Titans week 15 game featured 6 false starts by the Bengals offense and 2 offsides and a neutral zone infraction penalty by the Titans defense. Don’t think I’ve ever seen so many pre-snap penalties between two units in a game.

“Jeffery Simmons is a tough block so we’re just going to trap him!”

Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd, who missed effectively all of his rookie season, is practicing during Tuesday’s open OTA session.

T’Vondre Sweat (listed 6’4″, 366 lb.) rumblin with the football and even throws in a stiff arm and a nifty cut

the RB’s path made me yelp

hell or high water, Joe Burrow is keeping two hands on the football. The Big Fundamental.

The Packers have waived/injured wideout Jadon Janke.

a very tidy zone run from the Panthers. A great cut and Tremble (#82) is completely clean to the safety.

hey now!

Since 2022 (garbage time excluded): Lions offense ranks with Frank Ragnow on the field: Success Rate: 46.3% (3rd) EPA/play: .10 (T-1st) Lions offense ranks with Frank Ragnow off the field: Success Rate: 39.4% (23rd) EPA/play: .01 (12th)

Frank Ragnow retiring doesn’t break the Lions, but it does materially affect one of the strengths of their roster. Detroit was already breaking in one new starter along its offensive line. Now, the interior of that unit will look A LOT different.

It has grown increasingly difficult to remain an enjoyer of G5 college football, and Boise State leaving the Mountain West would feel like the biggest blow yet. Boise State’s influence on the sport in the 2000s goes far beyond the Smurf Turf and the Statue of Liberty play.

another positive about the Mykel Williams pick is that he can pick inside on passing downs and get Huff on the field.

The Packers’ annual shareholders meeting is set for Friday, July 25 at 3 p.m. CT.

Trey Hendrickson is due $16 million in the last year of his contract, and for the first time, he says explicitly he won’t play without a new deal.

The #Ravens release Justin Tucker.

Statement from the #Falcons, who say “the Ulbrich family is working with the organization to participate in community service initiatives in relation to last week’s matter.”

Prank call fallout: The NFL fined the #Falcons $250,000 and DC Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 over the leak of Shedeur Sanders’ phone number. Ulbrich’s son, Jax, took the number from Ulbrich’s iPad and used it to prank Sanders during the draft. Jax has apologized.

The #Texans are hiring Nick Caley as their offensive coordinator, sources tell me and @rapsheet1.bsky.social A longtime #Patriots assistant, Caley spent the past two seasons with the #Rams. Another branch of the Shanahan/McVay tree headed to Houston.

Most recently the #Bucs’ assistant GM, John Spytek now reunites in Las Vegas with his old college teammate Tom Brady and will take on a role in the #Raiders’ coaching search.

The #Colts are hiring Lou Anarumo as their defensive coordinator, sources tell The Insiders. One of the NFL’s most respected defensive minds, Anarumo spent the past six seasons as DC in Cincinnati. Now he takes over in Indy.

As reported Sunday on NFLGameDay: Ben Johnson has already been lining up staff and former #Saints  head coach Dennis Allen is a prime candidate to be Johnson’s defensive coordinator in Chicago.

The head coach hiring cycle so far: 🏈 #Patriots: Mike Vrabel 🏈 #Bears: Ben Johnson 🏈 #Jaguars: 🏈 #Saints : 🏈 #Jets: 🏈 #Raiders: 🏈 #Cowboys:

Ben Johnson’s move to Chicago now means the #Raiders’ head coaching search continues. They’ve interviewed Aaron Glenn, Steve Spagnuolo, Pete Carroll, Robert Saleh, Vance Joseph and Ron Rivera, and Tom Brady has spoken with Bill Belichick about the job as well.

After turning down opportunities in each of the last two hiring cycles, Ben Johnson was in a better place this year to take the next step in his career. He’s still only 38 years old as he prepares to take the reins of one of the NFL’s most iconic franchises in Chicago.

A new day in Chicago: The #Bears are finalizing a deal to hire Ben Johnson as their head coach, per sources. Johnson is set to fly there soon and contract parameters are in place. Barring a last-minute snag, the #Lions OC lands with an NFC North rival.

Undersold storyline: Dan Quinn was the eighth and final head coach hired in last year’s cycle. Now he has the #Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.

Mike McCarthy’s interview with the #Bears on Wednesday will be at Halas Hall. An important day in Chicago’s search.
