Patriots Enter Summer Break Optimistic After Minicamp

After minicamp, the Patriots head into summer break optimistic: Drake Maye appears in command of the offense and is building chemistry with a bigger, more versatile receiving group; backup QB roles look set between DeVito and Morton. The WR corps features size and playmaking with Brown, Doubs, and Douglas, while Julian Hill’s injury creates a TE need. TrevYon Henderson showed speed as the RB3. The line depth improves and the defense aims to tighten red-zone play, but edge-rusher depth remains a concern with Landry and Jacas rehabbing; Dre'Mont Jones and Elijah Ponder provide optimism. Corner and safety depth is competitive as training camp approaches on July 24-25.

Nick Herbig signed a five-year, $103.67 million extension with $42 million guaranteed, placing him among the NFL’s top-paid edge rushers and boosting the Steelers’ trio of edge players (Watt, Highsmith and Herbig) to about $304 million in combined salaries.

Dennis-Sutton Earns His Right, Heads to Green Bay

Packers selected Penn State edge Dani Dennis‑Sutton in the fourth round (No. 120). He stayed at PSU four years, learning behind first‑round talents Chop Robinson and Abdul Carter before becoming a full‑time starter in 2024, posting double‑digit tackles for loss (13 and 12) and 8.5 sacks in his last two seasons, plus seven forced fumbles and a program‑leading three blocked punts last year. Green Bay cited his development under PSU’s system and his knack for making plays as reasons for the pick, and Dennis‑Sutton looks to seize an opportunity as the Packers rebuild their edge rushers. He’s eager to prove he can translate his college success to Sundays, inspired by Micah Parsons and his love for football.
