They are not a reflection of what\u2019s going to happen on the field this fall, since OTAs are practices without pads or contact. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>They are also voluntary, so it\u2019s not a big deal when most players miss them \u2014 except when it comes to quarterbacks, who occupy a unique leadership position and carry outsized importance on the team. Here is a look at the quarterbacks making news by skipping OTAs and competing for starting jobs:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u25aa Of all the offseason story lines, did we miss a potential contract squabble between the Chargers and <b>Justin Herbert<\/b>? He wasn\u2019t present at either practice open to the media the last two weeks, with <b>Trey Lance<\/b> and <b>DJ Uiagalelei<\/b> running the offense.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>It wouldn\u2019t be surprising if Herbert, 28, was angling for a new deal. With the top quarterbacks making $50 million-$60 million per year, Herbert is set to make $60 million combined over the next two. I imagine he\u2019s not keen on making $24 million in 2026 after making $56 and $60 million the last two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Herbert, who has a no-trade clause, has led the Chargers to the playoffs in three of the last four years, and has taken a beating with injuries. If anyone deserves a raise, it\u2019s him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa One quarterback who definitely is skipping OTAs over a contract dispute is the Cardinals\u2019 <b>Jacoby Brissett<\/b>, penciled in as <b>Kyler Murray\u2019s<\/b> replacement after starting 12 games last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Brissett is under contract for $5.44 million this year plus $2 million in incentives. The next-lowest paid veteran starting quarterback is the Jets\u2019 <b>Geno Smith<\/b>, making $19.5 million this year, followed by <b>Malik Willis<\/b> and <b>Aaron Rodgers<\/b> at $22.5 million. <b>Jarrett Stidham<\/b> and <b>Davis Mills<\/b> are making more than Brissett as backups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A league source said the Cardinals have shown a willingness to give Brissett a small raise but nowhere close to Smith\u2019s salary. It\u2019s not a crazy ask by Brissett, who despite a 1-11 record played decently last year, throwing 23 touchdowns against eight interceptions and helping tight end <b>Trey McBride<\/b> and wide receiver <b>Michael Wilson<\/b> achieve career seasons. And $20 million is the going rate for low-end starters \u2014 the same amount <b>Justin Fields<\/b> got last year from the Jets. The Cardinals also are asking Brissett to take a beating as the quarterback for a team potentially playing for the No. 1 pick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Cardinals hold most of the leverage once mandatory minicamp and training camp begin, but are currently 29th in cash spending for 2026 and can easily afford an extra $10 million to get Brissett back in camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Patriots mailbag: Are there alternatives if a trade with the Eagles for A.J. Brown can\u2019t be worked out?<\/div>\n<p><span>\u25aa Rodgers is officially back in Pittsburgh, signing a one-year deal reportedly worth up to $25 million with incentives. He reunites with <b>Mike McCarthy<\/b>, his former coach in Green Bay with whom he spent parts of 13 seasons, winning a Super Bowl and reaching two other NFC Championship games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rodgers, 42, participated in voluntary OTAs this past week, which is a win for the Steelers. Last year, he didn\u2019t sign and practice until minicamp in mid-June. In announcing that this 22nd season will be his last, Rodgers also launched a retirement tour that will put the spotlight squarely on himself throughout the fall. The Steelers unfortunately don\u2019t play any NFC North opponents this year, and the tour launches in Week 2 in Foxborough, takes a midseason jaunt to Paris, and ends with games at Tennessee and Baltimore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa In Atlanta, former No. 8 overall pick <b>Michael Penix<\/b> can only watch from the sideline as he rehabs a torn ACL from November and <b>Tua Tagovailoa<\/b> leads the offense. Falcons coach <b>Kevin Stefanski<\/b> is used to holding quarterback competitions from his time with the Browns, and Penix is expected to start seven-on-seven work soon. But given Penix\u2019s rehab and Tagovailoa\u2019s thicker r\u00e9sum\u00e9, I\u2019d be surprised if Tagovailoa doesn\u2019t win the job.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Patriots receiver Kyle Williams promises to be \u2018night and day\u2019 different in his second NFL season<\/div>\n<p><span>\u25aa The Browns are still the Browns, and their new, 60-year-old coach doesn\u2019t have much patience for it. Second-year quarterbacks <b>Dillon Gabriel<\/b> and <b>Shedeur Sanders<\/b> threw interceptions in Wednesday\u2019s practice, and <b>Todd Monken<\/b> didn\u2019t sugarcoat his thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe threw interceptions in seven-on-sevens, for God\u2019s sakes,\u201d said Monken, a first-time NFL head coach. \u201cI mean, who does that? There\u2019s no pass rush. It was embarrassing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Monken has offered plenty of praise for Gabriel and Sanders, but it would be surprising if <b>Deshaun Watson<\/b> isn\u2019t named the starter for training camp. It\u2019s a lot easier to switch from Watson to Sanders than the other way around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa No. 1 pick <b>Fernando Mendoza<\/b> is repping third behind <b>Kirk Cousins<\/b> and <b>Aidan O\u2019Connell<\/b>, but the Raiders are already hyping him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c(He has) not disappointed,\u201d new coach <b>Klint Kubiak<\/b> said. \u201cHe\u2019s no BS, he\u2019s all ball. Anything that you put in front of him, he\u2019s going to attack it. Anything new, he spends extra time on. You can tell he fixes things from one day to the next.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Raiders likely will start the season with Cousins, but history says the job will be Mendoza\u2019s by mid-October.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa On the injury front, the Bills\u2019 <b>Josh Allen<\/b> is participating in practices following offseason ankle surgery, while the Patriots\u2019 <b>Drake Maye<\/b> and the Titans\u2019 <b>Cam Ward<\/b> are back after suffering shoulder injuries at the end of last season that didn\u2019t require surgery. The Chiefs keep talking about <b>Patrick Mahomes<\/b> being ahead of schedule from his torn ACL and LCL in December, and he is reportedly practicing drop-back drills and playing golf again. The Broncos\u2019 <b>Bo Nix<\/b> is still out following a second ankle surgery, and his availability for June minicamp is in question.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<h5>OWNERS MEETING<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Quick hits from one-day get-together<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>The 32 NFL owners (or their representatives) met in Orlando for a quick one-day spring meeting where they discussed a handful of minor items:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa They awarded Super Bowl LXIV to Nashville, to be held in February 2030, at the Titans\u2019 new domed stadium that is scheduled to be ready for the 2027 season. It\u2019s a big deal for a relatively small town, but Nashville has plenty of hotel rooms (projected 81,000 by Super bowl time), an energetic, walkable downtown, and proved to the NFL it could handle a big event when it hosted the 2019 draft. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1020\">As a racecar driver, Kyle Busch risked his life constantly. Yet his death at age 41 still hits hard.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Nashville jumps in the Super Bowl line behind Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Las Vegas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>An interesting note about the Titans\u2019 setup: The new Nissan Stadium is being built in the parking lots of the current stadium, and a team source said that because they are so close together (94 feet), the old stadium won\u2019t be imploded. Instead, it will have to be disassembled piece by piece.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa The owners also awarded the 2028 NFL Draft to Minneapolis, following next year\u2019s draft in Washington, D.C. The league stumbled upon a terrific idea when it started moving the draft to different cities, becoming a way to reward cold-weather communities for spending public dollars on stadiums. Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Buffalo are probably next in line to host.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa An increase in international games in 2027 to a maximum of 10, the most allowed by the collective bargaining agreement (the NFL is holding nine in 2026), passed a vote. It is not determined yet if all 10 will be league-sanctioned games, or if it will be nine plus a Jaguars home game, as the team has been doing for the last decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If the NFL wants to hold more than 10 international games, it has to bargain with the NFL Players Association. Expect that negotiation to happen in conjunction with an 18-game schedule, perhaps as soon as next offseason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Owners also voted to do away with the ability to protect two home games each year from being played internationally, putting all games up for grabs. The protections made it more difficult to construct the schedule and denied international markets premier games. <\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<h5>ETC.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Flores continues fight with lawsuit<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>There was an interesting symmetry this past week, as Vikings defensive coordinator <b>Brian Flores<\/b> intensified his employment lawsuit against the NFL just a few days after the death of former longtime coach <b>Sherman Lewis<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lewis, who died May 15 at age 83, won four Super Bowl rings as an assistant with the 49ers and Packers and spent 12 seasons as an offensive coordinator, mostly in Green Bay. Yet Lewis was continually passed over for head coaching jobs, serving as one impetus for the creation of the NFL\u2019s Rooney Rule in 2002.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Who leads my latest Boston\u2019s men\u2019s pro sports head coach power rankings?<\/div>\n<p><span>Flores, meanwhile, filed a lawsuit against the league, Dolphins, Broncos, and Texans in 2022 alleging racial discrimination in hiring practices, and has won several victories to keep the suit in federal court instead of private arbitration. This past week, Flores served subpoenas to 25 teams and more than 1,000 discovery requests to obtain hiring records and leaguewide communications related to the discrimination claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A 15-year member of the Patriots\u2019 staff (2004-18), he has been unable to get another head coaching job despite going 19-14 his last two years with the Dolphins, and building a top-10 scoring defense the last two years in Minnesota. But he keeps ratcheting up the pressure on the NFL \u2014 and keeps winning.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>Rashee Rice<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span><b>Rashee Rice<\/b> certainly has plenty of talent, scoring 15 touchdowns in 28 career games, and the Chiefs under coach <b>Andy Reid<\/b> have been plenty patient with players with checkered pasts, such as <b>Tyreek Hill<\/b> and <b>Frank Clark<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But their patience may be just about up with Rice, who finds himself back in jail for 30 days after violating his parole by testing positive for marijuana. The sentence stems from Rice pleading guilty to two third-degree felonies from a 2024 street racing crash in Dallas, which also earned him a six-game suspension last season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rice\u2019s incarceration couldn\u2019t have come at a worse time, as he reportedly had a clean-up surgery on his right knee this past week, not knowing he had violated his parole. Now he will not only miss the Chiefs\u2019 offseason program, but he won\u2019t be able to rehab properly while jailed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Chiefs are still thin at wide receiver behind <b>Xavier Worthy<\/b>, and were counting on Rice to be a big part of their offense. Even if they don\u2019t release Rice, the Chiefs clearly can\u2019t trust him, and now have an even bigger need at the position. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kansas City likely will explore veterans <b>Stefon Diggs<\/b> and <b>Deebo Samuel<\/b>, and could mess up the Patriots\u2019 plans by getting in on the <b>A.J. Brown<\/b> sweepstakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>\u2018No days off\u2019<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span><b>Bill Belichick<\/b> sat down for the \u201cPardon My Take\u201d podcast for more than an hour recently, and clarified the meaning behind \u201cNo days off,\u201d which he chanted at the Super Bowl parade for the 2016 Patriots. The phrase quickly became the Patriots\u2019 unofficial motto, exemplifying the Patriots\u2019 workmanlike attitude during the glory years, and also the gloomy, joyless pursuit of championships that seemed to envelope the team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhat it meant to us was, when you come to work, you go to work. You don\u2019t come to work and dillydally around and like, \u2018I was here, I broke a sweat, I showed up,\u2019 and go home. That\u2019s a day off,\u201d Belichick said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying, like, \u2018Don\u2019t take a day off.\u2019 We\u2019re saying, \u2018Don\u2019t come to the stadium and take a day off.\u2019 And so, the \u2018No days off\u2019 was when you come in here, man, we expect your best and we expect you to work at it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m sure it sold towels and some, you know, beer mugs or whatever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>Unforced error<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>The Titans created another unforced error this past week when they announced <b>Ramon Foster<\/b> as their new sideline radio reporter, replacing former coach <b>Dave McGinnis<\/b>, who died last month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Foster is certainly qualified, as a former University of Tennessee star, 11-year NFL player, and current Nashville radio host. But he played his entire career as a Steeler with no ties to the Titans, and local fans were upset with the choice, particularly with the team set to close Nissan Stadium in January against the Steelers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Titans seemed to acknowledge that they blew it, announcing they also will use a rotating cast of franchise heroes on the sideline, including <b>Kevin Dyson<\/b>, <b>Brad Hopkins<\/b>, <b>Marc Mariani<\/b>, and <b>Ben Jones<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>Extra points<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>What is up with the Georgia Bulldogs and their driving habits? The program has had at least 30 driving-related arrests and incidents under coach <b>Kirby Smart<\/b>, including a fatal car wreck involving current Eagles defensive tackle <b>Jalen Carter<\/b>. Now linebacker <b>Nolan Smith<\/b>, another Eagle and former Bulldog, was arrested May 15 for driving 135 miles per hour in Georgia. Smith has just 10.5 sacks over three seasons since the Eagles made him the 30th overall pick. They might want a mulligan over triggering his fifth-year option for 2027, guaranteeing him $13.75 million \u2026 Maybe it\u2019s just coincidence, but the Ravens were always one of the NFL\u2019s most injured teams under <b>John Harbaugh<\/b>, whose players often complained about the intensity of his practices, and now his Giants have suffered two torn Achilles during OTAs (defensive tackle <b>Roy Robertson-Harris<\/b> and undrafted rookie cornerback <b>Thaddeus Dixon<\/b>) \u2026 Cardinals linebacker <b>Mack Wilson<\/b> said he was \u201cin a dark place\u201d last season as he described injuries that limited him to eight games \u2014  a rib fracture and punctured lung that required a tube in his chest. \u201cIt was tough for me, coming out of the hospital, having to sleep sitting [expletive] upright for three weeks,\u201d the former Patriot said \u2026 Kubiak said \u201cthe goal\u201d is to have <b>Maxx Crosby<\/b> ready for training camp coming off his knee injury, noting the defensive end is \u201cstill the first one in this building every day.\u201d But given the state of his meniscus, which forced the Ravens to cancel a blockbuster trade, Crosby is probably going to have to be carefully managed this year \u2026 Not surprisingly, the new deal for the Dolphins\u2019 <b>De\u2019Von Achane<\/b> has a lot of fluff. His \u201cfour-year, $68 million contract\u201d is really a five-year deal, and it\u2019s really just $17.4 million over the first two years, then \u201cwe\u2019ll see.\u201d It\u2019s a nice deal for a running back, but the Dolphins certainly didn\u2019t go crazy \u2026 Seahawks receiver <b>Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/b> revealed on social media his trophy littered with mistakes, with an engraving for, \u201cDefensive Player of The Year.\u201d The NFL is sending him a new trophy, but how does a league that generates $23 billion in revenue mess up that badly? \u2026 If anyone deserves a raise this year, it\u2019s Super Bowl-winning quarterback <b>Sam Darnold<\/b>, set to make $27.5 million with the Seahawks \u2026 The Titans hired <b>Dave Gardi<\/b> this past week as executive vice president of football operations. If that name sounds familiar, it\u2019s because Gardi is a former 21-year league office executive who sent the initial letter to the Patriots in 2015 informing them that their footballs were found to be underinflated during the AFC Championship game win over the Colts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1018\">In a rarity, Republicans stand up to Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did we miss a potential contract squabble between the Chargers and Justin Herbert?
