Commanders WR Terry McLaurin expressed his frustration with the Commanders on his quest for a new contract. He has also stated that he remains on the fence about holding out into training camp. He previously sat out minicamp, but McLaurin doesn't want to be traded. He reiterated that he wants to stay in Washington, but this situation could bleed over into training camp and create a complicated situation moving forward.

Chargers RB Najee Harris is expected to be ready for the start of the season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Harris suffered a relatively minor eye injury in a July 4 fireworks accident. He's expected to miss "limited time" at the start of training camp but return "sooner rather than later," Rapoport says.
The Jets and WR Garrett Wilson agreed to a four-year, $130 million extension with $90 million guaranteed. That's the fourth-most guaranteed money for a WR. Wilson's $32.5 million average annual salary is the fifth-highest at the position. Wilson is now signed with the Jets through the 2030 season.

Jennings responded to that deal by posting career highs across the board last year: 77 catches, 975 yards, and six TDs.
According to Saints beat writer Larry Holder, “it’s fair to wonder if we’ve seen the last of [Taysom] Hill with the Saints.” The nearly 35-year-old is rehabbing an ACL tear from Week 13 of last season.
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins was arrested in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday and charged with battery and domestic violence. No further details are available at this point.
NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco hears that "it's not out of the question" that 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is ready for Week 1. Aiyuk is working his way back from October's torn ACL and MCL. He won't be ready for the start of training camp, and the expectation has been that he'll open the season on the PUP list, missing at least the first four games. But Maiocco hears that Aiyuk is "ahead of schedule" and "doing really well."
According to his agent, Chargers RB Najee Harris sustained a superficial eye injury during a July Fourth event he attended. The Chargers themselves have not commented, but Harris' camp says that he will be ready for the upcoming NFL season.

The Texans’ O-line “remains a big question mark” entering training camp, per Mike Jones of The Athletic.
Steelers WR Calvin Austin III heads toward training camp leading the competition for roles behind DK Metcalf. "I think that '2' spot is all Calvin's right now," WRs coach Zach Azzanni said in June. That quote came from ESPN's Brooke Pryor writing Austin up as Pittsburgh's biggest surprise player in early workouts. But don't ignore "right now" in the coach's message.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was a “full participant in the team’s offseason program and is expected to carry those responsibilities into training camp,” per beat writer Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Recall that Dak last played in Week 9 of last season because of a hamstring tear.
We have Garrett Wilson projected for the 10th-most targets in our WR rankings. A key reason for that: The Jets' WR depth chart looks terrible behind him. That factor has apparently given Josh Reynolds a shot to make a real impact in what will be his ninth NFL season but first with New York.
The Raiders shed both starting LBs from last year, letting Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo both walk in free agency. Spillane dominated team tackles, while Deablo checked in just sixth, amid wavering playing time while he dealt with injuries. Vegas imported three lower-cost options to compete for the top two spots. Elandon Roberts signed first, with a one-year deal on March 13. Devin White followed at the end of March. But then the team added Germaine Pratt in June, after the Bengals released him.
Bengals WR Jermaine Burton entered the NFL with character concerns and had more trouble as a rookie last year. But ESPN's Ben Baby named Burton the team's biggest surprise this offseason. "Burton has made all the right moves," Baby writes. "He was attentive and engaged throughout the spring workouts. He earned praise from every person who was asked about him, including offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher."
Giants TE Darren Waller retired after the 2023 season, but has returned after a trade to the Dolphins. After trading TE Jonnu Smith to the Steelers yesterday, the Dolphins left themselves a huge hole at the position. They potentially fill that with Waller, though he will compete with Pharaoh Brown and Julian Hill for snaps. Don't expect Waller to be anything more than a late round flier in fantasy drafts.
The Dolphins have traded TE Jonnu Smith, CB Jalen Ramsey, and a 2027 Round 7 pick to the Steelers in exchange for S Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 2027 Round 5 pick.
Browns rookie RB Dylan Sampson saw extra work with the receivers in minicamp.
