Rashee Rice Turns Offseason Jail Time Into Prove-It Moment

Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice spent 30 days in offseason jail after testing positive for THC while on probation for a 2024 street-racing incident, delaying rehab and offseason program. He called it a 'learning experience' and 'reality check,' and says he's focused on the present as he enters a pivotal contract year. After a strong rookie season (938 yards in 16 games) but injury and a six-game suspension in the following year, Rice must prove his value to secure a long-term deal, with Kansas City reportedly considering using the franchise tag into 2027 to evaluate his readiness.

Cowboys' George Pickens Serves as 'Coach Pickens' During Minicamp

George Pickens will skip team drills at the Cowboys’ mandatory minicamp and instead be “Coach Pickens,” focusing on individual work as the team limits exposure to injury. He signed the franchise tag in April and skipped the voluntary offseason program, facing a $107,911 fine for missing mandatory minicamp. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer says his presence shows commitment to the locker room, while Pickens remains on a one-year, $27.3 million tag as the club considers a longer deal after a Pro Bowl-caliber 2025 season (93 receptions, 1,429 yards, 9 TDs).

LaFleur plays down Sweat’s minicamp absence

Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat attended the mandatory minicamp but did not participate in drills; coach Mike LaFleur said he isn’t worried about Sweat at all, noting Sweat has long worked on his own offseason program. Sweat, who led the team with 12 sacks last season after signing a four-year, $76.4 million deal, has been the subject of trade rumors, though Arizona reportedly has no plans to trade him.

Richardson Rejoins Colts as Trade Talks Stall and Offseason Opens

Anthony Richardson reported to the Colts' voluntary offseason program after two weeks away, with no trade materializing and no fifth-year option exercised. In two seasons, Richardson has 2,400 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, plus 634 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. The Colts have added quarterback depth with Riley Leonard and Seth Henigan on the roster as Daniel Jones recovers from an Achilles injury, and the team continues to weigh Richardson’s future.

Cowboys keep George Pickens on franchise tag, options stay open

Dallas Cowboys will sign the nonexclusive $27.3 million franchise tag for George Pickens, allowing him to participate in the offseason program while long-term deal talks are not pursued in 2026. The move keeps Pickens off the free-agent market for now, preserves the Cowboys’ ability to trade him, and leaves open the possibility of drafting a wide receiver, with Pickens set to become a free agent in 2027.

Crosby Poised to Return for Raiders After Knee Surgery

Maxx Crosby's agent says the star edge rusher is ahead of schedule in his knee rehab after a January meniscus repair and is expected to return during the Raiders' offseason program. The report also notes that Baltimore backed out of a trade that would have sent Crosby to the Ravens, with speculation that the knee condition may have influenced that decision, but Crosby's camp remains confident he will return as a dominant player this season.
