Burrow’s swagger, Penix’s health race, and TE sleepers define minicamp takeaways

Minicamps closed with five key takeaways: Joe Burrow exudes confidence that the Bengals can be elite this season; Michael Penix Jr. has not yet been cleared for 11-on-11 work and faces a tight competition with Tua Tagovailoa in Atlanta, with Stefanski saying no jobs will be handed out in June; Xavier Worthy could emerge for the Chiefs as a playmaking option as Rashee Rice’s injuries/suspensions loom and Mahomes returns; Dallas’s RB2 role remains unsettled among Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah; Jacksonville’s Tanner Koziol has opened eyes as a larger receiving tight end, signaling a potential shift to more TE usage for the Jaguars.

Bengals restructure Burrow deal to free up cap space

The Cincinnati Bengals restructured Joe Burrow’s five-year, $275 million extension, creating about $10 million in 2026 cap space by spreading part of his base salary over the remainder of the deal, bringing their cap room to roughly $17 million for the season and allowing the team to pursue extensions for several young players while finalizing its seven-man draft class; Burrow remains under contract through 2029, and the move follows the Dexter Lawrence trade that constrained their offseason cap plans.
