Texans Eyeing Nick Chubb
Nick Chubb to bolster their RB room behind Joe Mixon this year, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "I was told that he's hoping to sign here soon, and maybe he gets something done before a minicamp gets into a team. Four-time Pro Bowler," Fowler said. It's unlikely that Chubb re-signs with the Cleveland Browns after they drafted multiple running backs in April. Dameon Pierce, the backup to Mixon in Houston, had just 293 rushing yards and two touchdowns in 2024. A gruesome knee injury has kept Chubb to 10 games the last two years, but he did rush for 1,525 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2022. The 29-year-old averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per carry in eight games in 2024, though, and there are valid concerns about whether he can ever be explosive as he once was before his knee injury.Source: ESPN.com - Jeremy Fowler

Russell Wilson a Natural Mentor in New York
Russell Wilson has been a natural mentor for all of the team's QBs this offseason, including rookie first-rounder Jaxson Dart. After signing in late March to a one-year deal in free agency, Wilson has quickly established himself as a leader and respected voice in the locker room. "I've always viewed it as you're always trying to be the best version of you, and then you're always giving back to everybody else," Wilson said. The 36-year-old organized a dinner this week with the QBs, O-linemen and running backs and also put together throwing sessions this offseason in various cities. While all of Wilson's reps this spring have come with the first-team offense and he will be the starter in Week 1, there will be plenty of pressure on him to perform well and to hold off Dart in 2025 after a disappointing 2024 campaign in Pittsburgh.Source: ESPN New York - Jordan Raanan
ESPN's Jordan Raanan writes that New York Giants veteran quarterback Jalen Ramsey Not Planning on Attending Mandatory Minicamp
Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport
As the Miami Dolphins and star cornerback Jalen Ramsey continue to work on a trade, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Ramsey isn't planning on attending mandatory minicamp this week, according to sources. Nothing is imminent on a Ramsey trade, but the 30-year-old seven-time Pro Bowler appears likely to be playing for a different team come Week 1 this fall. It's not a money issue, but rather a relationship issue with the Dolphins. A return to the Los Angeles Rams is possible for the former fifth overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders could also be in play to land Ramsey. In his second year with the Dolphins last year, Ramsey had 60 tackles (39 solo), a sack, six tackles for loss, two interceptions and 11 pass breakups in 17 starts.Aaron Rodgers an Uncertain Fit With DK Metcalf
Aaron Rodgers is an uncertain fit with wide receiver DK Metcalf. Metcalf isn't much of a precise route-runner and instead relies more on sheer strength and physicality deep down the field, and Rodgers tends to demand perfection from his wideouts. Will Rodgers and Metcalf mesh well in 2025? Solak thinks that at some point we'll see a sideline or postgame blowup between Rodgers and Metcalf. In the end, it will likely all come down to whether Rodgers buys into offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's system, which features a lot of play-action passing, something Rodgers doesn't exactly care for. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer lacks mobility at this stage of his career, too, making play-action passing more difficult. Outside of Metcalf, Rodgers doesn't have many weapons through the air, making him a midrange QB2 with not much upside.Source: ESPN.com - Ben Solak
ESPN's Ben Solak writes that new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Erik McCoy Active at OTAs

New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy (elbow) has been taking part in voluntary organized team workouts this offseason after landing on Injured Reserve late last year following an elbow injury that he suffered in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers. The 27-year-old former second-round pick (48th overall) in 2019 out of Texas A&M appears to be healthy again this offseason and is expected to open the 2025 campaign as the starting center in what will be a completely new offense under new head coach Kellen Moore, especially with quarterback Abraham Lucas Moving Well at OTAs
Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Abraham Lucas (abdomen) appears to be in great shape and is moving well while taking most of the reps as the first-team right tackle in voluntary organized team activities this offseason, according to Seattle Sports' Cameron Van Til. Lucas suffered a knee injury in the 2023 season opener and has been limited to 13 games the last two seasons. He returned in Week 11 of last year after having knee surgery last January, starting in seven straight games before sitting out in Week 18 with an abdomen injury that landed him on Injured Reserve. Before his knee injury in 2023, the 26-year-old was looking like a cornerstone at right tackle for the franchise. Lucas said there's a night-and-day difference with his knee after being over a full year removed from surgery. If he can stay healthy in 2025, that will be a big boost for Seattle's new offensive attack with quarterbackOlu Fashanu Taking Part in Offseason Workouts

New York Jets offensive tackle Olu Fashanu (foot) has been taking part in voluntary organized team activities this offseason after suffering a foot injury that ended his rookie season early in 2024 in Week 16. Now that Fashanu is back on the field in June, he should be a full-go for training camp this summer, the preseason, and the start of the 2025 campaign in the fall. The good news is that the 22-year-old tackle didn't require surgery for his foot injury, which is why he's available during OTAs. The Jets expect their offensive line to be a strength in 2025 after a disappointing 2024 season that ended in another year without a trip to the playoffs. If healthy, Fashanu is expected to be the blind-side protector for new quarterback Aaron Rodgers Signs One-Year, $13.65 Million Deal With Steelers
Aaron Rodgers was at the Pittsburgh Steelers' training facility on Saturday to officially sign his one-year, $13.65 million deal that includes $10 million guaranteed with a maximum value of $19.5 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal also includes $5.85 million worth of playing and team-performance incentives. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer and fur-time MVP waited until just before mandatory minicamp next week to erase any doubts that he would play for Pittsburgh in 2025 in what will likely be his final year in the NFL. Rodgers tore his Achilles in Week 1 with the Jets in 2023 and then disappointed with 3,897 passing yards, 28 TDs and 11 picks in 17 starts last year. Injuries could continue to be an issue for Rodgers, who finished as the QB15 in fantasy. Rodgers will have DK Metcalf to work with, but not much else in what's expected to be a run-first offense.Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter

Will McDonald IV Adds Weight in the Offseason
Source: Kam Towle
According to New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, defensive end Will McDonald IV put on some weight during the offseason. Even better, he hasn't lost any speed. "He's a dynamic athlete for a guy of his stature," Glenn said recently during OTAs. "I think he's like 6-foot-4, 240 [pounds]. He actually weighed in more than that because he's gained about 15 pounds." The 26-year-old had a relatively quiet rookie campaign, but it was a different story last season, with McDonald finishing the year with a team-high 10.5 sacks. New York has some work to do to turn things around on both sides of the ball. However, with the team adding former Chiefs defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, the Jets defensive line could give teams some trouble throughout the season.Stefon Diggs Looks Good "Running Routes and Cutting"
Chris Hogan, wideout Stefon Diggs (knee) has looked good during OTAs, so much so that he didn't remember the infamous Memorial Day boating video. "I've already forgotten about the boat video. I thought [Diggs] looked great," said Hogan. "It's earlier, I think, than most people expected coming back from an ACL injury. I love the way he's looking running routes and cutting." The veteran will presumably miss time to begin the 2025-26 campaign after tearing his ACL in Week 8 while still a member of the Houston Texans. Although it's still early, it appears Diggs at least has a chance to exceed expectations on a timetable to return, which would undoubtedly be good news for quarterback Drake Maye, who is hoping to improve in his second season in the National Football League.Source: Jordy McElroy
According to former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Conley Announces his Retirement
Chris Conley announced his retirement on Saturday after 10 seasons in the National Football League. The 2015 No. 76 overall pick spent his first four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs before suiting up for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers. In 132 regular-season contests, he amassed 226 receptions (383 targets) for 2,998 yards and 15 touchdowns. Conley spent his final year with the 49ers, although he wasn't very productive, catching six passes for 76 yards in 15 contests.Source: Ian Rapoport
