Brandon Aiyuk says he will sign with the Commanders if the 49ers grant his wish for a release By JOSH DUBOW AP Pro Football Writer The Associated Press SANTA CLARA, Calif.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Disgruntled receiver Brandon Aiyuk said he would sign immediately with the Washington Commanders if the San Francisco 49ers grant his wish and release him.
Aiyuk is currently on the reserve/left squad list after he stopped showing up late last season as he rehabilitates a knee injury that has sidelined him since October 2024. Aiyuk wants to be released, but the Niners have shown no urgency to make a move even though general manager John Lynch has said he doesn’t expect Aiyuk to play for the team again.
“Tell them boys cut me today and I’ll sign with the Commanders tomorrow,” Aiyuk said on social media Wednesday.
The Commanders haven't commented on Aiyuk's status while he remains under contract to San Francisco and haven't indicated that they would sign him if he becomes available.
Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million extension with San Francisco just before the start of the 2024 season following a lengthy contract “hold in” that kept him out of practice that summer.
Aiyuk played seven games and caught 25 passes that season before going down with a season-ending knee injury and the acrimony between the sides only increased. The 49ers voided $27 million guaranteed in Aiyuk’s contract for 2026 last summer because he failed to participate in meetings and other team activities.
Aiyuk then left the team late in the season and has not talked to coach Kyle Shanahan or Lynch since then, communicating only through social media messages, calling the team “stupid” for paying him so much money.
Aiyuk could put pressure on the 49ers to make a decision if he shows up when the 49ers report to training camp on July 25. Until he reports, the 49ers can keep him on the reserve list without him counting to the salary cap or the roster limits.
Aiyuk has three years remaining on the four-year, $120 million extension he signed last year, including a nearly $25 million option bonus due before the start of this season. But he now has no guaranteed money remaining and won’t be owed anything unless he reports to the team.
The 28-year-old Aiyuk has 294 catches for 4,305 yards and 25 TDs since being drafted in the first round in 2020.
Aiyuk recently had an arrest warrant issued by Santa Clara County on a misdemeanor charge of exhibition of speeding in response to a video Aiyuk posted to social media last December that appeared to show him speeding on the road in front of Levi’s Stadium.

The Jaguars lock up breakout tight end Brenton Strange with a new contract extension The Associated Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Wednesday they have agreed to a contract extension with Brenton Strange, making sure to keep the tight end coming off the best season of his career.
The Jaguars did not share terms of the deal. The NFL Network reported the deal is worth up to $48 million with $25 million guaranteed.
The 6-foot-4 Strange was the 61st pick overall out of Penn State in 2023. In his first year with new coach Liam Coen, Strange started all 12 games he played last season with 46 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns. He has started 26 of 43 games played in his career with 91 receptions for 986 yards and six TDs.
The Jaguars also added Texas A&M tight end Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol of Houston in the draft in April. Reaching an extension with Strange was a top priority going into Coen's second season.

Falcons agree to $54 million, 3-year deal that makes Kyle Pitts Sr. 1 of NFL's top paid tight ends By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer The Associated Press ATLANTA
ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to a three-year, $54 million contract with tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., securing another foundation player on the team's offense through the 2028 season.
The deal was announced on Tuesday by Pitts' agency, Athletes First , in a social media post. The agency said it is the largest three-year deal for a tight end in NFL history.
The agreement with Pitts comes three weeks after the team signed wide receiver Drake London to a four-year, $141 million deal.
Pitts, 25, was the No. 8 overall pick by the Falcons in the 2021 NFL draft. He set a career high with 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns last season. He ranked second among tight ends in receptions and receiving yards.
Pitts’ contract, which includes $36 million in guaranteed salary, was first reported by ESPN. The Falcons have not announced the deal, but still celebrated by posting a video of Pitts on social media.
Pitts' big season included a three-touchdown game in Atlanta's 29-28 win at Tampa Bay on Dec. 11. That win came with Kirk Cousins at quarterback. The Falcons will enter training camp with Tua Tagovailoa expected to compete with Michael Penix Jr. for the starting job at quarterback.
Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski says Penix, recovering from knee surgery, is on schedule in his recovery . Penix had not been cleared for team drills in the recent minicamp but was impressive in seven-on-seven drills.
The Falcons signed Tagovailoa, the former Miami Dolphins starter, to a one-year deal in March after releasing Cousins with a post-June 1 designation.
The Falcons used a franchise tag of $15.045 million on Pitts, but now the tight end will play under the new deal in the 2026 season. The $18 million average of Pitts' contract places him third on the list of the NFL's highest paid tight ends, behind San Francisco's George Kittle ($19.1 million) and Arizona's Trey McBride ($19 million).

Jayden Daniels is done talking about last season. There's enough on his plate for 2026 By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer The Associated Press ASHBURN, Va.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The start of the 2026 season is less than three months away for the Washington Commanders, and it's no surprise that Jayden Daniels wants to look forward, not backward.
“I’m done talking about last year. Last year’s last year," the 25-year-old quarterback said at minicamp this week. "Moving on to this season, and whatever happened last year is what happened last year. Can’t do anything for me but just continue to get better.”
After reaching the NFC championship game two seasons ago when Daniels was a rookie, Washington stumbled to 5-12 in 2025. The Commanders were a trendy pick to regress before the season started, and while injuries played a significant role, the naysayers ultimately had this one right when Washington went on an eight-game losing streak in the middle of the season. The big question this year is whether Daniels can stay healthy after he played only seven games last season, but there's more to rebounding than just that.
Across the board, Daniels' numbers were down in 2025 when he did play: passer rating (100.1 to 88.1), completion rate (69.0 percent to 60.6), yards per pass attempt (7.4 to 6.7) and yards per rush attempt (6.02 to 4.79). Washington went 2-5 in the games Daniels played after a 12-5 mark the previous regular season.
Commanders fans have already seen one promising quarterback — Robert Griffin III — have a sensational rookie season in 2012 and then never reach those heights again. They don't want a repeat with Daniels.
After last season, the Commanders overhauled coach Dan Quinn's staff . David Blough replaced Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator. D.J. Williams, the son of Super Bowl-winning Washington quarterback Doug Williams, is now the quarterbacks coach.
“When D.J. got here was my first time meeting him. Obviously I heard about him through Doug,” Daniels said. “It's been cool. He's been pushing me. We've been having conversations, not even just about football but about life.”
Daniels and the Commanders have to adjust to a new offense under Blough. Of course, Daniels adapted quickly when he was a rookie and new to the NFL, so the hope is that he'll pick things up rapidly this offseason too as the system is installed.
“(The offense is), I would say, let's say 80% in. But knowing it and then making the plays come to life, that's different," Quinn said. "The thing that he works at, and you can tell so quickly, is his ability to process. So for him, the reps of doing it over and over is helpful.”
Minicamp was just a small part of Washington's preparation for the season. The Commanders open Sept. 13 at Philadelphia.
“On this day of installs, you have a certain set of plays. Then we do another one on the next day and another one. So you don't get continuity — ‘I want to run that concept 15 times,’" Quinn said. "That will take place in camp. ... And then when we get back to camp, that install process isn't new."
Right now the offense is a work in progress, but at least the focus is on next season and not the previous one.
“I know we've got a lot more to go. We just built the foundation,” Daniels said. “Just learning the new offense, terminology. Why we're attacking this play. What we want to do on this play. Things like that.”

Dexter Lawrence looking to keep same offseason approach before reporting to Bengals' training camp By JOE REEDY AP Sports Writer The Associated Press CINCINNATI
CINCINNATI (AP) — Things calmed down a little bit for Dexter Lawrence during the final three weeks of the Cincinnati Bengals offseason program.
That might be the only time until January though that the defensive tackle is feeling a sense of calm.
Even though the Bengals canceled the final two days of minicamp practices, Lawrence will use the next five weeks before the start of training camp to gear up for this first season in orange and black. The Bengals acquired the three-time Pro Bowl selection from the New York Giants on April 19 for the 10th overall pick in the draft.
“I'm going to be like a boxer before they're going into a fight. You've got to put your head down and train,” Lawrence said on Wednesday at the end of offseason workouts.
It's the same approach Lawrence has used since he was the 17th overall pick by the Giants in the 2019 draft.
Lawrence arrived just at the start of the offseason program and used the past two months to get to know his new teammates while also imparting some of the wisdom he has learned over the past seven seasons.
“It’s part of my role to allow people to understand my knowledge of the game and to grow in that sense. I’m just excited to keep growing with them and learning,” he said.
Coach Zac Taylor said the important thing is that Lawrence has led by example instead of words, and that he has been front and center with the defense since arriving.
“I don’t know if he’s left since the day he showed up in the trade. It’s good to have veteran leadership like that that’s been in the building,” Taylor said. “I just think that the leadership on that side of the ball has really expanded amongst the amount of players that we have.”
Cincinnati has one of the league’s top offenses with quarterback Joe Burrow and All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, but its defense has been among the worst the past two seasons and needs to take a step forward if it wants to get to the playoffs for the first time since 2022.
The Bengals lost seven times over the past two seasons when scoring at least 30 points. It also became the first team to lose at least three games in consecutive seasons when scoring at least 34 points. They were 31st in yards allowed, 30th in points allowed and last against the run last season.
Lawrence is the lynchpin to the franchise’s reconstruction of the defense. They also added two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, edge rusher Boye Mafe and safety Bryan Cook.
“We know the caliber of player he is. Having him on our side, it makes it so much easier. It makes everyone’s job around us easier. He’s a calming presence because we have him on our side,” Mafe said of Lawrence.
Lawrence and Mafe combined for only 2 1/2 sacks last season, but they are hoping to revive a Cincinnati pass rush that was tied for the seventh-fewest sacks in the league in 2025 with 35.
Trey Hendrickson played in only seven games last season because of an injury and had four sacks before signing with Baltimore in the offseason.
Lawrence is also hoping the upgrades on Cincinnati's defensive line will help him to avoid double teams. According to Pro Football Focus, Lawrence faced the fifth-highest, double-team rate among defensive tackles last season at 70.35%. That is a significant reason why he had a half sack last season after getting a career-high nine in 2024.
The drop in sacks is also why Lawrence has a big chip on his shoulder going into the season.
“I'm more managing it now because you can’t really beat up on other teams. So during the season you just let it go and you flow,” Lawrence said. “I know how I approach this game and my impact to the game, even when it doesn't show up on the sack numbers.”

Jeffery Simmons cashes in on big season by signing record-setting, 3-year deal with Titans The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons cashed in on his first All-Pro selection with a record-setting deal.
Tennessee announced Friday the 28-year-old signed a multiyear contract extension. The Titans did not share terms of the deal, but ESPN.com and NFL Network both reported the three-year extension is for $35.3 million per year with $100 million guaranteed — making Simmons the highest-paid defensive tackle in league history.
“From Day 1, this organization believed in me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue to pour into this franchise and community,” Simmons said in a statement. “My job isn’t finished. I believe in this locker room and this staff, and I’m focused on helping this team get back to competing for championships.”
The Titans wanted to keep Simmons as one of the foundational pieces of their rebuild. The new deal locks him up through 2030 and is the second extension Simmons has signed. He also agreed to a four-year deal worth $94 million in 2023.
“You always want to keep your best players and we accomplished that today,” general manager Mike Borgonzi said. “We’re excited for Jeffery to be here in Nashville for the long haul.”
Simmons led NFL defensive tackles with a career-high 11 sacks in 2025 along with his 39 solo tackles, 17 tackles for loss and 60 quarterback pressures.
According to the NFL's Next Gen Stats, Simmons had a 13.9% pressure rate and 18 pressures after being double-teamed. Those were the best in the league among tackles.
The four-time Pro Bowler has been one of the league's defensive stalwarts for years.
Since the Titans selected him in the first round of the 2019 draft at No. 19 overall, Simmons has started 97 of 99 games. He has 42 1/2 sacks, 383 tackles, eight forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and 27 passes defensed.
Simmons is a five-time team captain and been the Titans' Walter Payton Man of the Year representative three times.
Borgonzi called Simmons a pillar of the franchise and someone who embodies what it means to be a Titan.
“He’s the premier defensive tackle in the National Football League and you win with players like Jeffery,” Borgonzi said. “Not only is his leadership on the field what we want our program to represent, but off the field, he sets the standard for our community.”
Simmons is one of five players in franchise history to have at least five sacks in five consecutive seasons since sacks became an official stat in 1982.

Chargers' Justin Herbert adjusting footwork during offseason program By DAN GREENSPAN Associated Press The Associated Press EL SEGUNDO, Calif.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — New Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel wanted to change Justin Herbert’s footwork, so he has taken the football out of his star quarterback’s hands for parts of the offseason program.
While it might seem counterintuitive, McDaniel believes Herbert can better focus on learning those adjustments when not throwing.
“To change it, and in one offseason, make it something that’s in the unconscious that you’re not thinking about where you have to think about a lot of other things, you really have to take an intentional attack on it. So I think he understood the extreme measures,” McDaniel said.
McDaniel is teaching Herbert to lead with his non-dominant left foot, with the right-handed passer having put his right foot forward when first handling the football in each of his previous six seasons in the NFL.
McDaniel initially took notice of the off-foot technique as an assistant to Kyle Shanahan with Houston in 2007. Brett Favre had been using it throughout his Hall of Fame career, and Tom Brady adopted it for the 2007 season when he threw 50 touchdowns passes, setting a then single-season league record that has since been broken.
Shanahan, who was the Texans quarterbacks coach at the time, and McDaniel extensively studied the possible benefits in the approach before adopting it, including when they continued worked together in Washington and San Francisco. McDaniel also took it to Miami when he was the Dolphins head coach for four seasons until being fired in January, leading the left-handed Tua Tagovailoa to start with his right foot forward.
“You have your pros and cons for anything that you do from a technique perspective, but having the non-throwing-hand foot forward, there was some advantages that I kind of lean toward. By the time we got to Washington (in 2010), we started training quarterbacks that way,” McDaniel said.
With McDaniel installing a quicker passing game that emphasizes allowing receivers to accumulate yards after catch, the tweak in footwork is intended to maximize the timing Herbert needs to get the most out of those opportunities.
“I kind of look at it like you’re trying to find the margins where you can improve, and you have a quarterback of high achievement like Justin, who wants to make gains in this game. You find the most margin that you can improve upon, and identifying that, and it being shorter time throws and footwork, there’s a necessity to really focus on footwork from the ground up,” McDaniel said.
That meant asking Herbert to spend portions of organized team activities working with a large green exercise ball instead of a football. He also ceded throws in 7-on-7s and other periods to backups Trey Lance and DJ Uiagalelei, leaving Herbert to simulate drop-backs.
McDaniel’s aim was to put the emphasis on process rather than result.
“It’s as simple as where your focus is, and when you don’t watch a ball go, you don’t attribute any emotions toward, ‘Oh, that was a good throw. Oh, that was a bad throw.’ You only can really lean into one thing, and that’s the footwork that you’re doing. And if you make that the end-all, be-all — at the quarterback position, you have 900 things to think about — and in a short period of time, you can really master it to where you’re not thinking about it at all,” McDaniel said.
Herbert was receptive to the request to change his footwork, having spent his college career at Oregon operating in a neutral stance with his feet placed evenly.
As for the reduction in passing, Herbert accepted it, a minor surprise given his past insistence on getting lots of extra throws in before and after practices. Herbert said the new approach is as much about making sure his arm is fresh when the Chargers get to the stretch run of the season as mastering the new footwork.
“I’ve thrown a lot of footballs, and it’s May and June, and I didn’t think it was as necessary to throw as much now. I’m doing everything I can to get the footwork ready and get the offense down, and the throws, they’ll be there,” Herbert said.

Vikings eager to develop versatile rookie linebacker Jake Golday By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Pro Football Writer The Associated Press EAGAN, Minn.
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Jake Golday will likely spend most of his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings on special teams while serving as the top backup to veteran inside linebackers Blake Cashman and Eric Wilson, a natural way for a late-blooming second-round draft pick to debut in the NFL .
The progression the Vikings have in mind for him, though, isn't that simple. Nothing is, really, under the direction of defensive coordinator Brian Flores .
While Golday possesses the build at 6-foot-4 and 239 pounds to be a productive off-the-ball linebacker, he was targeted in the draft as a prospect with potential to also play on the edge as a pass rusher. Golday has the athleticism and instincts, the Vikings believe, to eventually serve as the type of utility-knife starter who can thrive in any personnel group — just like Andrew Van Ginkel.
“He has some of those characteristics to him,” coach Kevin O'Connell said. “We were fortunate enough to get him where we did.”
Golday, who was selected with the 51st overall pick, didn't have any scholarship offers from power conference programs out of high school in Arlington, Tennessee, and started his college career as a defensive end at the FCS level at Central Arkansas. That's when he developed the pass rushing skills that helped elevate his draft stock after two seasons in the Big 12 with Cincinnati. He switched to inside linebacker the year before he transferred, then moved to the strong side position with significant pass coverage responsibilities.
“I think what makes me special is my versatility. I’ve done a little bit of everything at the college level,” Golday said.
Moving around to different positions a hallmark of Flores' defense
Flores has consistently gone against the grain with his schemes, unafraid to send blitzers on any down from any spot or employ a four-man line composed entirely of stand-up rushers.
Roles and responsibilities are more likely to be molded around player skills than the other way around, which has made room for players such as Van Ginkel to thrive while maximizing individual strengths. Josh Metellus, a natural safety, has wound up as more of a hybrid linebacker in recent years as another example of putting the talent on the field first and then sorting out the positions second.
“It’s definitely a lot different than all the defenses I’ve ran in the past,” Golday said, “but it’s allowing me to grow and to be a better player.”
Van Ginkel will carry a salary cap hit of $19.25 million this season on an expiring contract that will make him a free agent next year. He will be 31 on July 1. He missed five games last season to a neck injury, the first time he didn’t play the full schedule since his rookie year in 2019 with Miami when Flores was the head coach there.
Dallas Turner, the 2024 first-round draft pick, made significant strides last year and will be heavily counted on by the Vikings this season. But after the cost-cutting trade of Jonathan Greenard to Philadelphia, the depth chart for the edge rusher spots is thin. So while Golday is starting his pro career off the ball, he could well find himself spending time with Van Ginkel and the outside linebackers sooner than later.
“I’m my own person at the end of the day, but I can’t complain about that comparison. He’s an amazing player so I strive to be like a guy like that," Golday said. “He just looks so calm out there all the time. It’s just crazy how he gets to the ball every single play. I’m like, ‘Dude, you’ve got to teach me your ways.’”
Van Ginkel will be happy to.
“He’s picking up the defense, which is a very complicated defense, very quickly in my opinion,” Van Ginkel said last week during minicamp. “He has the traits to be a great football player, and I’m excited to help him grow and reach his full potential.”

Matiscik signed a two-year, $3.8 million contract extension with the Jaguars on Wednesday, his agency, Sportstars NYC, confirmed.
Matiscik, 29, has spent six seasons with Jacksonville and played 101 games after signing with the team as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Baylor in 2020. Matiscik has earned All-Pro or Pro Bowl honors in each of the past three seasons. He had been entering the final year of his contract, which was set to pay him $1.2 million in 2026.
“Ross’ consistency and ability to get down the field and make plays on special teams gives us an edge in that phase of the game,” Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said. “He has played at an elite level for several seasons and is at the top of the league at what he does.”
Since entering the league, Matiscik's 22 special teams tackles are tied for the most in the NFL at his position.

Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich raves about QB Geno Smith's 'elite' football mind By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Pro Football Writer The Associated Press FLORHAM PARK, N.J.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Frank Reich played with Jim Kelly and coached Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers, Andrew Luck and Matt Ryan during an NFL career that has spanned more than four decades.
So, he knows an outstanding quarterback when he sees one.
That's what made the New York Jets offensive coordinator's effusive praise of Geno Smith on Wednesday so noteworthy. If not a bit surprising.
“I am just so impressed by Geno,” Reich said before minicamp practice. “I cannot express that enough. I know we haven’t played any games yet. We've got a long way to go. We've got a lot to prove and everybody’s got a lot to prove.
"But man, he is on point. His preparation is top notch. His football mind is elite."
The 64-year-old Reich certainly knows how that looks. And it has taken Smith just a few months to make a believer of his new coordinator.
“The way he’s communicating in the huddle, at the line of scrimmage, the way he communicates in the quarterback room," Reich said of Smith. "I’ve been around a lot of really smart and good quarterbacks. All I’m going to say is, we’re in good shape.”
Smith's long and winding NFL journey has returned him to the place where it started in 2013. He was the face of the franchise then, a second-round draft pick and a big-armed passer with unlimited potential. Inconsistency, injuries — including a broken jaw suffered from a punch by a teammate in a locker room dispute — and perhaps some immaturity derailed his first stint with the Jets, who moved on after the 2016 season.
Now 35, Smith was an unlikely offseason priority for New York, which wanted a seasoned veteran who could help Reich jumpstart its stagnant offense. The Jets traded a sixth-round pick in March to Las Vegas for Smith and a seventh-rounder, creating a reunion that even the two-time Pro Bowl pick couldn't have imagined.
“I’m in a good place,” Smith said after practice Tuesday, “and we just have to keep working and keep getting better every single day.”
The first day of minicamp practice offered a vivid reminder of what once was for the Jets with former head coach Rex Ryan , whose son Seth is the team's pass game coordinator , watching from the sideline in green and white gear in practice — and reconnecting briefly with Smith.
“It was so special, man,” a beaming Smith said. “Any time I get to talk to coach, it just brings back the nostalgia, man, all those games we fought together. Obviously, he was part of the staff that gave me my first opportunity in the NFL and I’m forever grateful for that. Any time I get to see coach, I’m excited."
Smith has acknowledged he has grown mentally since those rocky early days of his NFL career and learned a lot in subsequent spots, where he was a backup to players such as Eli Manning with the Giants, Rivers with the Chargers and Russell Wilson with the Seahawks.
Much like Reich, Smith's new Jets teammates can only rave about the quarterback's presence.
“From the first day that Geno came in, you could just feel the sense of confidence come into the offense,” left tackle Olu Fashanu said.
“Geno's special,” wide receiver Isaiah Williams added. “One of the biggest things that stood out to me when I first met him, he didn't try to be a leader. Like, a lot of guys try to come in and try to be leaders. He was just himself. He's a natural leader.”
Reich repeatedly used the word “impressive” while talking about Smith, who he said has the “it factor” for success: a combination of confidence and humility.
Many assume Smith is merely a placeholder at quarterback for the Jets, who are likely to search for their eventual next signal caller in next year's NFL draft. Whether this second stint in New York lasts just one season or a few more beyond, Smith has insisted he's focused on the present.
And he's using everything he has learned from his past to guide him — and the Jets.
“I think all of us are just, we’re always trying to be the best version of ourself,” Reich said. “But this league is about winning and that’s what we all came here to do. ... We want to put a winning product on the field and excellence in everything we do off the field. You put those two things together, I think everything will take care of itself.”
