Dallas Cowboys linebacker/edge rusher Micah Parsons is expected to report for mandatory minicamp this offseason despite his absence from voluntary OTAs. The four-time Pro Bowler in as many NFL seasons is seeking a new contract after racking up 256 tackles (172 solo), 52.5 sacks, nine forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, nine pass deflections, and 41 run stuffs in 63 career games. He is deserving of a payday and ranks just 60th among edge defenders in average salary ($4.27 million). The good news is Parsons is not hinting toward sitting or holding out, and his 2025 season availability is not in doubt at this point in the offseason. That said, the situation is well worth monitoring.

The New England Patriots officially signed first-round rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell to a fully-guaranteed four-year, $43.3 million contract on Tuesday. This leaves Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback
Travis Hunter as the only top-10 pick yet to sign his rookie deal. Campbell, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of LSU, will be tasked with protecting quarterback
Drake Maye's blindside for the foreseeable future after earning three consecutive All-SEC honors in Baton Rouge. The New England offensive line has struggled for the last few seasons, and Campbell is expected to be a significant building block on the offense under new head coach Mike Vrabel.

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jihaad Campbell (shoulder) will not take the field for practice until "sometime in August," according to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. The rookie first-round pick out of Alabama is recovering from shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum and could start his professional season on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, meaning he'd have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. Last season with the Tide, Campbell tallied 119 tackles (55 solo), five sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception on his way to first-team All-SEC honors. With Philadelphia's front-seven loaded with talent, Campbell could be a minor contributor in 2025 before earning a bigger role in 2026. Patience will be key for IDP fantasy gamers and Eagles fans alike.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Zay Flowers is coming off his first Pro Bowl campaign in just his second season in the NFL. The 2023 first-round pick out of Boston College snagged 74 of his 116 targets for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. Unfortunately, Flowers was banged up in the season finale against the Cleveland Browns and did not appear in either of Baltimore's postseason contests. Heading into Year 3, the Ravens are hoping to get Flowers more involved. "We just got to get him the ball more," offensive coordinator Todd Monken said after Tuesday's practice. "He's not only an outside receiver who has elite route-running skills, but he's unbelievable with the ball in his hands." Flowers ranked 19th in receiving yards last season despite finishing 28th in receptions and 23rd in targets. An uptick in target volume could give him fringe WR1 upside, and his target competition at wideout remains underwhelming.

New England Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai (calf) will not participate in practice until training camp after suffering a calf injury during Monday's OTA's. The 2019 second-round pick out of Hawai'i by the Detroit Lions led the Patriots in tackles last season (115) and has not missed a game over the last three years. Overall, the 28-year-old has tallied 424 tackles (235 solo), 5.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and four interceptions in 95 career games. His injury early in the offseason isn't ideal, but it sounds like he'll have plenty of time to recover before meaningful football is played.

New York Jets first-time offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, who is the Jets' 10th offensive coordinator and 11th play-caller in the last 15 seasons, will have added pressure in New York with head coach Aaron Glenn being defensive-minded. ESPN's Rich Cimini writes that the offense will have a Lions flavor to it, from scheme to coaching, after Engstrand previously worked under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson in Detroit. Engstrand will lean heavily on former Lions tight ends coach Steve Heiden, who will coach the offensive line and be heavily involved in the ground game. The Jets are expected to be physical on the ground, with run-pass options being a staple with mobile quarterback
Justin Fields. New York will most likely be run-heavy while setting Fields up for success with more intermediate throws. Behind what could be a strong O-line, it's possible Fields excels with his third NFL team in 2025.

Houston Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud is not throwing at organized team activities on Tuesday due to what head coach DeMeco Ryans called "general soreness." "There are no concerns with CJ. Just general soreness. Taking extra precautions," Ryans said. The head coach declined to answer if Stroud had any work done on his right shoulder in the offseason. It was reported last week that the 23-year-old signal-caller didn't take part in an OTA practice due to a tight pectoral muscle, but it wasn't considered a long-term problem. As long as Stroud gets back on the field soon, there won't be any cause for concern, and the Texans don't appear to be worried whatsoever. Stroud took a step back in 2024 after being a top-10 fantasy QB in his rookie campaign, and his offensive line certainly didn't help his cause. Whether he can bounce back as a QB1 in fantasy will depend on how effective his O-line is at protecting him.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels immediately established himself as one of the NFL's top QBs in his first season in the league in 2024, but the Commanders expect him to be even better in his sophomore season. "Just watching him move around, he's not thinking as much, he's playing fast and letting his natural gifts kind of take over, and that's what we want to see. I expect him to take a big jump," offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said. The second overall pick was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year after throwing for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns and rushing for another 891 yards and six touchdowns while leading the team to a 12-5 record and an appearance in the NFC Championship game. Washington bolstered their offensive line in front of Daniels this offseason and added receiver Deebo Samuel Jr. Daniels will be a top-five fantasy QB in upcoming drafts.

The Tennessee Titans have been pleased with rookie first-round quarterback
Cam Ward's progress this offseason as he learns the offense. "Pleased with where he's at," head coach Brian Callahan said. The head coach also said that Ward is picking things up pretty quickly as far as the mental part of the transition to the NFL. Although the 23-year-old first overall pick has been splitting reps evenly with
Will Levis during offseason workouts, Ward is fully expected to win the starting QB job going into the 2025 regular season this fall. The Miami product has high-end arm strength and set an NCAA record with 158 career touchdown passes. There's plenty to like about Ward long term, but he's not much of a scrambler, and the Titans don't have a ton of weapons for him to be much more than a low-end QB2 with upside in fantasy in his rookie season.

SI.com's Albert Breer thinks that Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey's value now is at safety. Ramsey can still be a very good cornerback, but any team looking to trade for the veteran defensive back is likely looking to move him to safety in the long term. "I think that's a safe landing spot to put him in position to still do things that he does well," said an NFC executive. "So that's like a $10 million to $12 million player." The former All-Pro has $21.1 million left on his deal for 2025, which means the Dolphins might have to eat some money to facilitate a trade this offseason. And now that June 1 has passed, it will be easier from a salary cap perspective for the Dolphins to trade Ramsey. If feels inevitable at this point that Ramsey will be in a different uniform for the 2025 season, with a return to the Los Angeles Rams being in play.

The Atlanta Falcons are completely focused on developing former first-round quarterback
Michael Penix Jr., according to SI.com's Albert Breer. Last year, the Falcons were locked into having veteran
Kirk Cousins under center, but now they are putting their offense together in a way that will best fit Penix. The 25-year-old second-year signal-caller has proven to be an even faster learner than was expected when he was drafted. He has been working to get his footwork synced up, his base widened and his eyes upfield, while coaches also want Penix working to create ways to take advantage of his high-end arm talent. Atlanta added slow-developing, play-action concepts to take advantage of Penix's ability to create explosive plays down the field, and they've also expanded their perimeter passing game. The coaches and players are behind Penix, who will be an attractive QB2 with upside in superflex leagues in 2025.
