    Seahawks agreed to terms with TE Luke Willson.
    The signing is expected to become official Tuesday afternoon. It is Willson’s third tour of duty with the team that drafted him in 2013. He will be on the outside looking in of a 53-man roster spot.

  • BUF Wide Receiver #0

    The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia believes Keon Coleman has “the strongest case for a breakout” amongst younger Bills players this season.
    Buscaglia points to the fact that Coleman was already on the field for the majority of snaps before hurting his wrist in Week 9, and then adds that the receivers the Bills added this offseason are “not direct competitors” for Coleman’s role at X receiver. “If Coleman doesn’t face much competition for that spot, there is a distinct possibility his on-field role could rise from his already lofty 70 percent. More time on the field means more potential target opportunities, especially if his separation skills improve slightly in the offseason,” Buscaglia continues. Coleman is currently being drafted outside of the top-100 picks in most offseason fantasy football formats and does have an intriguing profile even if his rookie year was disappointing.
    Bears TE Loveland may struggle for targets
    Patrick Daughtery reports on Colston Loveland missing Chicago Bears minicamp and why, even when healthy, he may be an odd-man out in target share.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #17
    Commanders WR Terry McLaurin did not report to mandatory minicamp.
    It’s been expected for a bit as McLaurin seeks a contract extension this offseason. The consensus per beat reporters is that the deal will get done, but may not happen until training camp actually comes close to starting. We don’t have any real concerns about drafting McLaurin in Best Ball at this point, just know that beat reporters don’t bat 1.000 and this still could turn into a “hold in” situation should the Commanders and McLaurin not make progress on the contract.
  • Bengals rookie EDGE Shemar Stewart is not practicing at mandatory minicamp.
    He’s not actually under contract, so he isn’t subject to any fines. But Stewart’s contract continues to be an issue for the Bengals while they try to add a lower training-camp bonus to it — something they didn’t do for either of their past two first-round picks — for reasons that border on inexplicable. Stewart is losing valuable developmental reps while the Bengals try to enforce this contract on him, so all they’re really doing at this point is hurting themselves.
  • ARI Defensive Tackle
    Cardinals signed No. 16 overall pick Walter Nolen to a four-year contract.
    The deal includes a fifth-year option for the Cardinals. Nolen showed flashes of future All-Pro play at Ole Miss and was one of the most physically-imposing players in the draft. Jonathan Gannon will be tasked with making those flashes become the standard. Nolen will likely break in as part of a rotation with Calais Campbell, Darius Robinson, and Justin Jones up front early in the season.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #10
    NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports that Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill caught passes during individual drills at Tuesday’s minicamp practice.
    Hill underwent a pair of surgeries on his left wrist during the offseason, the most recent taking place last month. The five-time All-Pro selection caught 81 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns in 2024, each representing his lowest totals since joining the Dolphins in 2022. The 31-year-old wide receiver originally injured his wrist last August during a joint practice with the Commanders, but appeared in all 17 regular season games for the Dolphins despite the injury. The Dolphins hope Hill can resume team drills in training camp.
  • TB Tackle #78
    All-Pro LT Tristan Wirfs (knee) did not participate in Buccaneers minicamp practice.
    Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said the reason for Wirfs sitting out Tuesday’s practice was precautionary and that the injury was sustained in the offseason. Bowles added that Wirfs will be ‘fine in training camp.’ Wirfs, who is a two-time All-Pro, is entering his sixth season with the Buccaneers. PFF ranked Wirfs as the NFL’s second-best offensive tackle ahead of the 2025 season.
  • GB Cornerback #80
    Packers converted WR Bo Melton to cornerback.
    After signing an exclusive rights free agent deal with Green Bay in April, Melton will enter training camp as a corner. Melton had 24 catches for 309 yards and a touchdown as a rotational wideout over the past two years. The team reportedly liked Melton’s special teams play enough to try him on defense.
  • MIN Tight End #84
    Vikings signed TE Josh Oliver to a three-year contract extension worth $23.5 million.
    Oliver’s new deal includes a max payout of $27.5 million. Used mostly as a blocking tight end, the Vikings clearly value Oliver as a key part of Kevin O’Connell’s offensive system. Oliver managed 22 catches for 258 yards and three touchdowns in 2024. Pro Football Focus graded him as the league’s best run-blocking tight end. Oliver is now signed through the 2027 season.
  • JAX Quarterback #16
    Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said QB Trevor Lawrence wore a sleeve on his throwing arm at minicamp due to “general soreness.”
    “We threw a lot of balls last week. (Trevor) feels good. He said it wasn’t really an issue,” added Coen, who is entering his first season as Jaguars head coach. Lawrence is looking to bounce back from a tough 2024, where he dealt with multiple injuries, including a concussion in Week 13, which led him being placed on injured reserve. Lawrence had season-ending surgery on his non-throwing shoulder in December. Prior to the 2024 season, Lawrence signed a five-year, $275 million contract extension. He’ll have a dynamic wideout duo this season in Brian Thomas, Jr. and first-round pick Travis Hunter.
  • CLE Wide Receiver
    Diontae Johnson is in attendance at Browns minicamp.
    The mercurial Johnson, who inexplicably played for three teams in 2024, did not attend Cleveland’s OTAs last month, raising questions about his commitment to his latest team. Johnson’s availability at the start of mandatory minicamp suggests he’s on track to make the team barring any summertime meltdowns or injuries. A consistent target commander in the short areas of the field, Johnson has amassed 424 catches for 4,738 yards and 28 touchdowns in his six-year NFL career. Johnson could function as a primary target for whoever is under center for Cleveland to start the season.
