Broncos | More work for Bo Nix Wed Jun 17, 03:10 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) participated in seven-on-seven drills during practice Wednesday, June 17.
| Footballguys view: Nix, who told reporters on Tuesday that he could play right now if he wanted, has been limited up to this point. He reiterated on Wednesday that he could've been a full participant in minicamp practices if the medical and coaching staff had let him. In his second NFL season, Nix threw for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, adding 356 rushing yards and five scores on the ground. As previously noted, Nix is going as QB15 right now. That's a good price for a player who's finished in the top 10 at his position his first two seasons. |

Jets | Cade Klubnik on field Wednesday Wed Jun 17, 01:14 PM
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik (back) is on the field during practice Wednesday, June 17, but is not participating in position drills. He did not participate in practice Tuesday, June 16.
| Footballguys view: Klubnik has been out of practice with back soreness, so his return is a positive. As Profootballtalk.com notes, the Jets' plan is for Bailey Zappe to serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Geno Smith. Klubnik could earn the No. 2 job, but missing time now could put him behind in training camp. A year ago, Klubnik was viewed as a future first-round draft pick, but he had a disappointing final college season, and his draft stock slid to the fourth. The Jets think he has plenty of upside. But they need to see it on the field. |
Falcons | Trevor Siemian not practicing Wed Jun 17, 01:03 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Trevor Siemian (undisclosed) will not participate in the mandatory minicamp this week but will be ready for training camp, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.

Titans | Cam Ward committed to craft Wed Jun 17, 11:46 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward's commitment to being a great quarterback is awesome, according to quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney.
| Footballguys view: New Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is focused on helping Ward grasp the offense and operate it smoothly. Daboll wants Ward to be on the same page as pass catchers, which comes from spending extensive time in the film room and on the field. Ward is a QB2 candidate for fantasy purposes, but whatever success he achieves will bleed over to other, more fantasy-relevant players here. |
NFL | Brendan Sorsby with real upside Wed Jun 17, 10:26 AM
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has real NFL upside in his size, athleticism and running ability, according to ESPN insider Field Yates. Sorsby had a chance to be a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com notes, while Sorsby was primed to be a top quarterback prospect in the 2027 NFL Draft, he will still be held in high regard, finding the NFL a year earlier in 2026. Sorsby has the size, athleticism, and experience to garner NFL interest. That said, the odds that Sorsby starts for any NFL team come Week 1 of the season are near zero. Rosters are just about set, especially regarding the QB1 position. However, Sorsby can offer long-term upside in dynasty fantasy football. |
Broncos | Bo Nix feels great; QB says he could play right now Wed Jun 17, 12:40 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) said that bone spurs led to second ankle surgery, but 'I feel great,' according to a report from the Denver Post on Tuesday, June 16. Nix has participated in walkthrough drills and stated that he could play right now if he wanted.
| Footballguys view: Losing Nix to injury in the divisional playoffs was a brutal blow for the Broncos. It was even more painful because Nix finished the season strong. Though he was 15th in QBR for the season (58.3), he registered a 66.3 from Week 13 on (the equivalent of ranking seventh). This year, with Jaylen Waddle joining Courtland Sutton at wideout and QBs coach Davis Webb taking over the playcalling, there's reason to believe Nix can continue his development. Remember, he's finished as QB8 and QB9 in fantasy the last two seasons. Nix is being drafted as QB15 this year. |
Titans | No issues with Cam Ward's shoulder Wed Jun 17, 12:30 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward told reporters at minicamp that his shoulder is fine and he has no issues with it, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.
| Footballguys view: Ward has had some accuracy issues at times during OTAs over the past couple of weeks, but the Titans' coaching staff isn't concerned. "Every quarterback is going to miss a couple here and there," first-year head coach Robert Saleh said. Still learning a new offense, Ward is also getting acclimated to new receivers Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson. Ward said there's a feeling-out process between himself and his new pass catchers that can only be eliminated by getting more reps. And he'll get plenty of those when training camp opens. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert to throw during all three days of minicamp Tue Jun 16, 04:17 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert will reportedly throw during all three days of this week's mandatory minicamp after taking multiple days off from throwing during OTAs, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.
| Footballguys view: Herbert has been adjusting his footwork in an effort to get the ball out quicker, so now it's time to cement the new mind-body connection. This approach by new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel will help set up run after catch opportunities and help an offensive line that has potential weakness at both guard spots. |

Browns | Cleveland 'unlikely' to place Supplemental Draft bid Tue Jun 16, 02:32 PM
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is unlikely to have a bid placed on him in the NFL Supplemental Draft by the Cleveland Browns, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.
| Footballguys view: The Browns are one of the teams that make the most sense for Sorsby, so we will take this report with a grain of salt. Perhaps new head coach Todd Monken wants to give Shedeur Sanders a chance to be the clear quarterback of the future, but as we've seen in the past with Cleveland, quarterback decisions aren't always made by the football operations employees. |
Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. still working his way back Tue Jun 16, 02:28 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) has not yet been cleared for 11-on-11 work, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. He added, 'He's exactly where he needs to be.'
| Footballguys view: Until Penix is healthy, the quarterback competition won't truly get underway in Atlanta. Hopefully both he and Tua Tagovailoa look like starting quality quarterbacks in camp to make Stefanski's decision more difficult, but enhance the value of the players in the Falcons offense. |
NFL | Brendan Sorsby applies to enter NFL Supplemental Draft Tue Jun 16, 01:21 PM
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has reportedly applied to enter the NFL's Supplemental Draft, according to a source on Monday, June 15.
| Footballguys view: Which team(s) will bid a future pick to land Sorsby, and in which round(s)? That question will be occupying many football minds, but first we need to know whether the NFL will allow him to enter the supplemental draft. Cleveland, the Jets, and Minnesota are among the teams most commonly mentioned as possibilities anywhere from the second to fifth round, by the way. |
Cowboys | Dak Prescott to be limited in drills Tue Jun 16, 01:17 PM
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer told the media on Tuesday, June 16, that QB Dak Prescott will be limited in team drills. He said it's nothing to be concerned about.
| Footballguys view: We trust Schottenheimer here. Even if Prescott is limited at times in camp, he is a proven veteran, so we won't be inclined to reduce the Dallas passing game projections. Matthew Stafford has nursed a back issue in recent training camps, but otherwise was unaffected during the season, and Prescott deserves the same kind of faith we put in Stafford despite his age and physical condition. |

Titans | Mitch Trubisky ready to serve as mentor Sun Jun 14, 06:45 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Mitchell Trubisky is excited about his new organization, and he is looking forward to helping any way he can, either as a competitor or a mentor. He is being coached by offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney, two guys he worked with in Buffalo. 'Super pumped (to be here),' Trubisky said. 'I had so much fun with (Daboll and Tierney) back in Buffalo a few years ago. When I had an opportunity to come back with them, it was pretty much a no-brainer. Coming here, working with (QB Cam Ward), working with Dabes and Shea, it has been a lot of fun so far, getting back in the offense. It's a great scheme.'

Buccaneers | Coach endorses Baker Mayfield Sun Jun 14, 06:11 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield has been 'all business' amid contract extension talks, according to head coach Todd Bowles, and Bowles said there is 'absolutely no question' that he wants Mayfield to stay with the Buccaneers long term.
| Footballguys view: This is a story worth monitoring because Mayfield has been good as a Buc, but $50+ million a year good? Mayfield is 31 and if his play is declining (he had a rough second half of the season, but the whole offense did, including with his and other key players suffering injuries), then committing to him long term would be a mistake. The Bucs don't have a quarterback they have bene developing on the roster, but they did sign UDFA Jalon Daniels, who is a favorite of NFL Films legend Greg Cosell. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels to work in new scheme Sun Jun 14, 02:53 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will work in a heavy play-action system under new offensive coordinator David Blough, which will, at times, feature bootlegs. The bootlegs will enable Daniels to get more in the open field. 'He's one of the smartest players I've ever coached,' QBs coach D.J. Williams said Saturday, June 13. 'It's his football knowledge, just his natural instincts, but also how quick he can process. Obviously from the outside looking in, you see the speed, you see the arm, you see the playmaking ability, but ... from the neck up, man, that's like he is second to none.'
| Footballguys view: Daniels could get some runs by design on rollouts, but the main benefit will be moving the pocket or otherwise not letting pass rushers tee off on Daniels after he suffered multiple injuries last year. He has a limited ceiling as one of the top five quarterbacks off of the board. |

Texans | C.J. Stroud to make a jump? Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud has a better grasp of offensive coordinator Nick Caley's system, especially when it comes to pre-snap operation, according to quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski.
| Footballguys view: Stroud also could get Tank Dell back, and 2025 second day draft picks Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel both look ready to do more in their second seasons. Stroud is an afterthought in 1QB leagues and a bargain in superflex leagues right now. |

Bears | Caleb Williams locked in Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams has shown a comfort level in the offense during OTAs and minicamp, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: It will disappointing if Williams doesn't look more comfortable and perform better in year two piloting Ben Johnson's offense. He is priced around QB6-7, but not much cheaper than QB3-5, so the fantasy football community expects him to improve. At least one of Colston Loveland, Luther Burden III, and Rome Odunze will be a big hit if Williams takes the expected step forward. |
Chiefs | Week 1 possible for Patrick Mahomes? Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) and the team are 'both leaning into this Week 1 possibility' for Mahomes' return, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The league putting the Chiefs at home on Monday night against the Broncos to open the season might have been a coincidence, but with every passing day it appears that it will create maximum drama for Mahomes return to the field. He had returned to the fantasy elite thanks to his running ability and extended plays, but the Chiefs might limit that element of his game early in his return from knee surgery. Mahomes is priced correctly around QB10, but could get off to a slow start as he rounds into form. |

Broncos | Bo Nix participates in walkthrough Thu Jun 11, 02:28 PM
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton told the media on Thursday, June 11, that QB Bo Nix did some walkthrough work and will be out there for some work next week for minicamp.
| Footballguys view: Nix is coming off an ankle injury in the Divisional Round against Buffalo that needed two surgeries to correct. He's not doing much this week, but the team plans for him to do a bit more at mandatory minicamp next week. We imagine Nix will be a full participant when training camp opens for the Broncos in late July. |
Packers | Jordan Love focused on footwork Thu Jun 11, 11:19 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love said he spent the offseason working to improve his footwork in the pocket. 'My biggest thing that I've noticed since I got back is just my feet in the pocket, trying to be as smooth and consistent as possible,' Love said. 'When I go through my reads, get into my hitches and not getting antsy, not getting to that point where you're trying to move through the pocket too fast.'
| Footballguys view: That's a good place for Love to concentrate on improving his game. A passer's motion begins with proper footwork, so Love should be a better passer with better feet. Earlier this year, Packers HC Matt LaFleur said the team would "strip everything down" on offense in 2026. We like Love as a QB2 with upside in what could be a passing game that's more efficient this season. |

Chiefs | Two years added to Patrick Mahomes' deal Wed Jun 10, 04:33 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Chiefs Wednesday, June 10, and is now scheduled to be under contract until the 2033 season and is set to make $504.75 million during that span, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs will do whatever they can to retain Mahomes for as long as they can. He gets a restructured deal seemingly every offseason, as both parties appear aligned on a long-term vision. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson fully healthy Wed Jun 10, 04:09 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson said he is fully healthy and has not felt this good since 2023.
| Footballguys view: We'd feel a lot better if Watson said he felt like his 2020 self, as that's the last time he's played anything better than awful. Although Todd Monken won't declare a QB1, a lot of beat reporters are speculating that Watson has the inside track. In the final year of his deal, he hopes to earn another this year. With a new head coach and a handful of fun, young weapons around him, Watson is worth a cheap flyer in dynasty trades and late-round best ball picks. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett sits out on-field work Tue Jun 9, 09:07 PM
Arizona Cardinals Jacoby Brissett did not participate in on-field work during the Tuesday, June 9 minicamp, according to a report.
| Footballguys view: Brissett is back at camp after a public contract dispute, but isn't participating in on-field work yet. He could just be getting warmed up and return as soon as tomorrow, but this is worth watching. With a new coaching staff, veteran Gardner Minshew should have a chance to win the Week 1 starting job. Third-round rookie Carson Beck will also push for snaps at some point this season. It's tough to know who will start the most games this year, or even in Week 1. This could be a fluid quarterback room all season. Brissett has proven capable of supporting multiple weapons in this offense, so fantasy managers should hope he'll return soon and regain his role as QB1. |

Browns | Todd Monken unlikely to name starting QB before end of mincamp Tue Jun 9, 05:01 PM
Cleveland Browns HC Todd Monken is reportedly unlikely to name either QB Deshaun Watson or QB Shedeur Sanders the QB1 for the Browns by the end of Thursday's minicamp, saying 'I'm not there yet', according to a source on Tuesday, June 9.
| Footballguys view: Monken might not be ready to name a starter, but most Cleveland reports have hinted at a lean towards Watson. Either way, this quarterback situation is set to be mercurial unless Watson can return to the player he was in Houston. Watson has the highest ceiling of the bunch, and investments in offensive skill players and Monken's system give him some late-round allure in best ball drafts. But John Madden famously said, "If you've got two quarterbacks, you have none." The Browns currently have two quarterbacks. |

Cowboys | Joe Milton and Sam Howell getting equal reps Tue Jun 9, 02:47 PM
Dallas Cowboys QBs Joe Milton and Sam Howell are getting equal reps in the competition for the backup job behind Dak Prescott.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said today that Howell and Milton are in an open competition to be the No. 2 quarterback in Dallas. "It's going to be a fun competition," Schottenheimer said. The Cowboys acquired Milton from the Patriots in a trade last year. He played in four games behind Prescott, completing 15 of 24 passes for 183 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions. Howell signed with the Cowboys in March after spending last season as a backup for the Eagles. He has started 18 games in his career, all for the Commanders. We'll monitor this one all summer. |
Dak Prescott player page
Browns | Shedeur Sanders getting first team reps Tue Jun 9, 01:53 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders is working with the first team offense during mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, June 9.
| Footballguys view: Sanders' late push during OTAs has complicated things here. His improved command of the offense and more efficient play have given head coach Todd Monken reason to keep the competition open. Most of the offseason, Deshaun Watson appeared to have the edge over Sanders based on his superior athleticism and experience. But Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports that Sanders seemed to have narrowed the gap the past couple of weeks with his grasp of the playbook and increased efficiency. This development could lead Monken to hold off on naming or even determining his QB1 until sometime during training camp. |
Colts | Backup QB competition remains even Tue Jun 9, 01:41 PM
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen says the competition for the backup job between QBs Anthony Richardson Sr. and Riley Leonard remains 'back and forth right now.'
| Footballguys view: The Colts have a full quarterback room for the foreseeable future after Richardson's time spent on the trade block failed to land any suitors during the 2026 NFL Draft. So, he'll continue to battle Leonard for the spot behind Daniel Jones, who is working back from his Achilles rehab. SI.com believes that Leonard is viewed as the better fit for this version of Steichen's offense with Jones at the helm, and the subsequent backup of the future, whereas Richardson remains the unrefined, oft-injured project that could be fun to fix. |

Dolphins | Malik Willis looking 'more comfortable' with Miami Tue Jun 9, 12:14 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis looked 'more comfortable' with the team's offense this week, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: In fact, Hafley, who was around Willis for the last two seasons with the Packers, told reporters on Tuesday that Willis has "looked as good as he's looked since I've known him." Willis, 27, played well when called upon as Green Bay's backup over the last two seasons. In his 11 appearances with three starts, Willis completed 79 percent of his passes for 972 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions. He also rushed for 261 yards with three TDs in that span. That rushing equity makes him an interesting prospect at his current QB21 ADP. |
Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett officially reports Mon Jun 8, 02:21 PM
Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett officially reported for the mandatory minicamp Monday, June 8.
| Footballguys view: Again, it's not clear how much on-field work Brissett will do after missing all the team's voluntary OTA sessions. Rookie Carson Beck and Gardner Minshew worked with the first team offense in Brissett's absence. We'll continue to monitor the situation, but it's widely believed the two sides will come to an agreement before the season starts. The question will be how much work Brissett does until then. |

Falcons | Michael Penix may be close to team drills Mon Jun 8, 01:09 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) may be cleared to participate in team drills before the end of offseason workouts, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Penix has been able to take part in seven-on-seven drills as part of his recovery.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons will wrap up their offseason program with a mandatory minicamp next week. Penix is returning from last season's torn ACL. Stefanski also said that Penix has hit every milestone in his rehab schedule to this point in the offseason. Tua Tagovailoa is the other quarterback option for the Falcons. This is a situation we'll be monitoring through training camp. |
Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett to arrive this week Mon Jun 8, 11:27 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett plans to report to minicamp this week despite a contract dispute.
| Footballguys view: Because it's a mandatory minicamp, Brissett was at risk of being fined a total of $107,911 if he didn't show up. He's missed all the team's voluntary OTA sessions up to this point. Brissett will report as the Cardinals' presumed starter, but it's uncertain how much on-field work he will do. Rookie Carson Beck and Gardner Minshew have taken more snaps in Brissett's absence. Brissett wants a restructured contract for this season. His deal currently pays him $4.88 million, with the potential to grow to $5.39 million, of which only $1.5 million is guaranteed. |

Eagles | Andy Dalton, Tanner McKee battle for QB2 job Sun Jun 7, 04:23 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QBs Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee are in a heated battle to serve as the primary backup to starter QB Jalen Hurts. The Eagles could try and trade McKee to a team in need of a quarterback this summer.
| Footballguys view: The #3 quarterback will presumably be fifth round pick Cole Payton. He has some Taysom Hill usage potential, but is also a long term project who could be an option down the line if Jalen Hurts doesn't click with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Payton is an elite athlete and would generate a lot of fantasy value with his legs if he ever gets a shot. He also went to North Dakota State, like Eagles Super Bowl Champion Carson Wentz. |

Broncos | Bo Nix to have larger role during minicamp Sat Jun 6, 11:33 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) is expected to have an increased role during the team's three-day mandatory minicamp, which begins June 16, according to head coach Sean Payton. Nix did not participate in the team's first full week of organized team activities but had thrown in pre-practice sessions.
| Footballguys view: There have been some misconceptions, a dash of mystery, and sometimes straight-up misinformation about Nix's ankle this offseason. The current plan, according to Payton, is to have Nix do more in mandatory minicamp in 10 days or so. Does that mean full participation? While that seems unlikely, we're not too worried about the young franchise quarterback. Once August gets here and the Broncos are in training camp, we expect Nix to be near full strength and fully participating. |
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield unlikely to hold out Sat Jun 6, 10:53 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is not likely to stage a holdout from mandatory minicamp, which begins on June 16, even though the two sides are not believed to be close to finalizing a contract extension. According to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler, discussions are in the early stages but Mayfield will not negotiate a long-term deal once training camp has started.
| Footballguys view: The two sides are not close on a contract agreement, and Mayfield seems to have a self-imposed deadline for negotiations to be done before training camp. With the deadline closer to August, there's no need for Mayfield to hold out during mandatory minicamp. While he may not be quite what he used to be, Mayfield is still an above-average starter, and he should get compensated as such. |

Vikings | Kyler Murray has been impressive in OTAs Fri Jun 5, 02:56 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray is making it 'make it hard to imagine' that he will lose the team's quarterback battle against QB J.J. McCarthy ahead of the 2026 season, according to Sports Illustrated's Will Ragatz.
| Footballguys view: This is a competition that will go into training camp and the preseason. If Murray keeps impressing, the battle may not last long into August. McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024, has been below average seemingly every time he's been on the field for the Vikings. It's a make-or-break season for McCarthy, and Murray might win the starting job for the Vikings in 2026. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield not close on contract Fri Jun 5, 11:07 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield said he and the team aren't close in contract negotiations, and talks will end once the season begins.
| Footballguys view: In the final year of his deal, Mayfield is looking for a new long-term contract. Mayfield is entering this season without WR Mike Evans, and he's coming off a season where he had 3,693 yards passing with 26 passing touchdowns. He may never get back to the 40-plus touchdown guy he was a couple of years ago, but Mayfield is a solid starter who should be able to get appropriate compensation. |

Dolphins | Malik Willis has green light to run Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis' running ability will be incorporated into the offense, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: Willis is a runner, and it only makes sense for that to be a part of his game. Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik has a system that should work well with play-action passing and a rushing quarterback. We like Willis as a QB2 with upside, and his rushing ability means he could push for more fantasy points than some think. |
NFL | Russell Wilson retiring Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Giants) announced his retirement from professional football Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is going to be an analyst with CBS, so his retirement comes as no surprise. A former Super Bowl champion (2012) with the Seahawks, Wilson will always be remembered for having one of the prettiest 'moon balls' in NFL history (him or Jeff Blake). With a championship and 10 Pro Bowl nods, the next stop of Wilson is the Pro Football Hall of Fame - although many debate his qualifications for the ultimate honor. |

49ers | Mac Jones still not throwing Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones (undisclosed) did not throw during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3, because of soreness but said he will be ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Let's just put a pin in this. Jones is there to be a quality reserve behind Brock Purdy, and the team is not going to skip a beat if he's forced to play. We should see him out there later in the summer. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert focused on footwork Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert said he has been working on overhauling his footwork under the guidance of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. 'Mechanically, it's a little different timing, he wants the ball out early,' Herbert said. 'We feel like that is going to help us get the ball out quicker.'
| Footballguys view: Have we seen the best of Herbert? I think we can all say that answer is no. Does McDaniel get the best from Herbert this year? That's a possibility, and it will be fun to watch if that happens. He's one of the most naturally talented passers in the NFL, and now Herbert gets to run a potentially dynamic system. Stay tuned. |

Dolphins | Malik Willis flashes at minicamp Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis delivered some 'highlight' throws and displayed his arm strength during minicamp Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: It's OTAs, so these things are going to happen but it's a good sign at least. We're listening for offseason 'drumbeats' and if you keep hearing Willis 'flashes' at OTAs, mandatory minicamp, training camp, and into the preseason then you'll know he's impressing with his new team. We're excited about Willis this year even though the Dolphins are unlikely to push for the playoffs in 2026. He's a mid-to-low-range QB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs. |
Broncos | Bo Nix not participating in OTAs Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix was seen on the sideline at the team's OTAs on Thursday, June 4. Nix is working his way back from a broken ankle suffered in January.
| Footballguys view: There are some who think we could see Nix out there at mandatory minicamp in just a couple of weeks. Nix injured his ankle in the Divisional Round win over the Bills, and he had to have a cleanup second surgery after it was initially repaired. So long as Nix is out there in training camp, the Broncos have no worries at the quarterback position. Nix with Jaylen Waddle could be quite fun for Broncos fans...and Fantasy GMs... in 2026. |
Jets | NYJ asked about Tanner McKee Wed Jun 3, 11:12 AM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Tanner McKee received trade interest from the New York Jets, but they were told he'd cost a second-round pick.
| Footballguys view: McKee is a free agent after the season, and the Eagles did select Cole Payton in the fifth round of this year's draft. As SI.com's Jeff Kerr notes, the Eagles also have Andy Dalton on the roster, and he could serve as the QB2 this year if they do trade McKee this summer, giving him some reps with the second team. If the Eagles don't find a trade partner for McKee, then he's the QB2 at the start of the season. This summer is going to be interesting to see how the depth chart unfolds. |

Dolphins | Malik Willis building rapport with WRs Tue Jun 2, 11:29 AM
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis is working on building chemistry with the team's wide receivers in organized team activities, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: "It's going to take a lot of reps, just like it would with any quarterback and wide receiver group," Hafley said of the situation. "It's going to take time [to find] the rhythm." Asked if any wideout stood out in their work with Willis, Hafley singled out Malik Washington and Jalen Tolbert. Still, the bigger picture issue is this: The Dolphins need Willis to play at a high level for any of this to work -- and for fantasy investors to cash in on the QB's rushing upside. We'll be watching his progress closely this summer. |
