Colts, DeForest Buckner agree to contract extension - NBC Sports

Buckner, who had been heading into the final year of his contract, has now agreed to a two-year, $46 million extension through the 2026 season, according to multiple reports.
Buckner had been slated to earn a $20.25 million base salary and have a cap hit of $22.75 million this year, but the new deal likely reduces his base salary and cap hit while giving him a significant signing bonus that will count toward future years’ salary caps.

Aaron Rodgers arrives at start of Jets' voluntary offseason program - NBC Sports

Rodgers was there first thing this morning for the first day of work, the Jets confirmed on social media.

Last year Rodgers didn’t attend all the Jets’ voluntary work, but he did vow to be there for “more than half” of it. Toward the end of his tenure in Green Bay, Rodgers chose not to participate in voluntary offseason work, which reportedly was one of the reasons he and the front office and coaching staff weren’t on great terms before he was traded to the Jets.

Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles tendon on the fourth play of the 2023 season but expects to be fully healthy for 2024.

Jaelan Phillips- Rehab going great, definitely back healthy for the season - NBC Sports

Phillips was injured during the team’s Black Friday win over the Jets and he took a break from his rehabilitation work to attend the University of Miami’s spring game over the weekend. Phillips did an interview with ESPN during the game and said that he’s on track to be back on the field come the fall.

“Rehab has been going great,” Phillips said, via Adam Stites of USAToday.com. “I’m just attacking it every day and I’ll definitely be back healthy for the season and — God willing — stay healthy for the season.”

The Dolphins also have Bradley Chubb returning from a torn ACL and they recently signed Shaq Barrett to provide them with more depth as they wait for both players to make a full recovery from their injuries.

Jets unveil new uniforms - NBC Sports

The Jets kicked off their offseason program on Monday and they also unveiled the uniforms they’ll be wearing this season.
Jets owner Woody Johnson announced on Super Bowl Sunday that the team would be changing their look for the coming year and the team shared what that look will be on their website. The team is calling the new duds their “Legacy Collection” as they are a return to what the team wore during the 1980s and they sported the throwback jerseys and helmets during a couple of games during the 2023 season.

CeeDee Lamb is not at Cowboys voluntary workouts - NBC Sports

Lamb is in the market for a new contract and the expectation all offseason has been that he would skip the voluntary portion of the team’s work while he waits for a new pact to come together. Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported on Monday that Lamb’s absence has gone from expected to actual.

The next question for Lamb, who is entering the fifth and final season of his rookie contract, will be whether he decides to hold himself out of mandatory work as well. The Cowboys will have a mandatory minicamp in early June and it will be interesting to see how the wideout approaches that session if he and the Cowboys are still at an impasse on the contract front.

Patriots visit with Michael Penix Jr.

NFL Media reports that Michael Penix Jr. will dine with team officials on Monday night, in advance of a formal visit on Tuesday.
Penix follows J.J. McCarthy, who visited with the Patriots on Monday. Previously, quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye visited New England.
The Patriots last took a quarterback in the top five 31 years ago, when Drew Bledsoe was the first overall pick. Before that, it was Jim Plunkett in 1971 and Jack Concannon in the 1964 AFL draft.
They’ve used a first-round pick two other times, on Tony Eason in 1983 and Mac Jones in 2021. Both were taken fifteenth overall.
