Amari Cooper wants his money
The offseason is always conducive to salary discussions and Amari Cooper (WR, Browns) understands this well. The receiver has not yet participated in offseason training, including those that are mandatory. Deshaun Watson's main target intends to make his objectives clear to Cleveland leaders. A situation which may recall that of Brandon Aiyuk, mentioned a few days ago, also looking for a big contract.
“I want to get paid,” he said in an interview for sports betting site Betr.
On the Browns side, General Manager Andrew Berry explained that Amari Cooper “counts a lot” for the team. Although the discussions are currently at the same stage, there is no animosity between the two parties.
Dak Prescott off the hook
While waiting for news related to his contract extension, Dak Prescott (QB, Cowboys) saw charges accusing him of sexual assault be completely dropped. The case dates back to 2017 when the quarterback was accused in response to Prescott who had sued the victim and his lawyers for attempted fraud.
The Cowboys quarterback's lawyer welcomed the court decision in the face of the victim's blackmail.
No additional Draft this year
For the 4th time in 5 years, the NFL announced to franchises that there would be no additional draft. As a reminder, this allows players who were not eligible at the time of the draft in April to be recruited.
In 2023, the players who presented there were not selected. The last player selected in a supplemental draft is Jalen Thompson (S, Cardinals), chosen in the fifth round in 2019.
“He will be ready. He trained to 100% of his abilities until the end of the organized team activities. He completed two intensive throwing sessions so we reduced the load on the last day [ndlr : des OTA] “, Colts General Manager Chris Ballard said on NFL.com.
As a reminder, Richardson's rookie season ended prematurely following an injury to his throwing shoulder which required surgery.
Injuries
– Hit in the shoulder at the beginning of June, Anthony Richardson (QB, Colts) should be fit for the start of training camp. This was announced yesterday by general manager Chris Ballard.
Transactions
The main cuts of the day: Tayvion Robinson (WR, Ravens)
In short
– The Colts announced the opening of 12 practices to the public. The first will take place on July 25 in Westfield, Indiana. 7 of these 12 workouts are free. The other 5 are scheduled for so-called “primetime” hours, and will cost $5 for people over 18 years old.
– The Titans announced a training open free to the public in their stadium (Nissan Stadium). It will take place on July 27.
– New facilities, and 12 practices open to the public for the Chargers. The Los Angeles franchise will open these training sessions free of charge to the public starting July 24.
Jeffery Simmons can't wait to fight Caleb Williams
For his baptism of fire, Caleb Williams (QB, Bears), first choice in the 2024 draft, will face the Tennessee Titans on September 8. Jeffery Simmons (DT, Titans) intends to make sure the quarterback remembers it, but for other reasons.
“I understand that everyone's eyes are on the Bears, it's normal when you have a rookie like Caleb Williams who is an excellent player. I saw some of his games at USC, he was a phenomenal player. But we're in the NFL, it's not the same thing. I can’t wait to face him in the first game,” the Titans defensive lineman said on the Rich Eisen Show.
Kyler Murray in MVP mode in 2024
In the NFL, it is rare that players are given time to develop, even for the most talented. While he hasn't disappointed so far, we couldn't blame Cardinals fans for expecting more from Kyler Murray, former first overall pick in the 2019 draft (no season with more than 4,000 passing yards, 19 matches played in two years). Murray can in any case count on the support of his teammates, like his tight end Trey McBride.
“This is my third year here playing alongside him and I have never seen him as motivated as he is now. He has very good targets and I am convinced that he can win the MVP title next season,” the young tight end said on NFL Network.
Randall Cobb escapes fire

The fire was started by their car overloading. Then it would have quickly spread to the Cobb property. The family had to wear clothes on their backs and no shoes on their feet in order to escape the fire.
Former Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is now without a contract. He is 33 years old.
