Bengals
Bengals QB Joe Burrow expressed support for DE Trey Hendrickson but acknowledged uncertainty regarding his future with the team. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer believes a deal will be reached, potentially mirroring the $35 million annual contracts of top DEs. Meanwhile, first-round DE Shemar Stewart is absent from minicamp due to a contract dispute.
Browns
Browns OC Tommy Rees remains noncommittal about the starting QB position among Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders. The team freed up $9.81 million in cap space by releasing DT Dalvin Tomlinson and S Juan Thornhill.
Steelers
Steelers WR coach Zach Azzanni announced Calvin Austin as the No. 2 receiver, while LB Payton Wilson has bulked up for a bigger role. TE Darnell Washington reports he’s in excellent shape after losing weight, and DL coach Karl Dunbar confirmed first-rounder Derrick Harmon as the starting left defensive end.
