Browns
The Rams initially resisted trading DE Jared Verse for DE Myles Garrett, but Browns GM Andrew Berry insisted on Verse’s inclusion, leading to an adjusted draft pick deal. DT Michael Hall Jr. is recovering well from a knee injury and returning to practice, while QB Deshaun Watson feels fully healthy and appreciates the support from his wife and the organization. HC Todd Monken has not named a starting QB, stating both contenders deserve to compete. Berry noted that finding a trustworthy trade partner for Garrett was crucial, with Rams GM Les Snead fitting that profile.
Ravens
The Ravens’ offseason program features a competition for the starting center role among Danny Pinter, Corey Bullock, Jovaughn Gwyn, and Nick Dawkins, with HC Jesse Minter emphasizing equal opportunities for all players. He highlighted Pinter’s experience and praised Gwyn and Bullock’s performances as they prepare for training camp.
Steelers
Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith missed minicamp due to an illness, but speculation arises that he may be frustrated after OLB Nick Herbig’s lucrative contract. Analyst Ray Fittipaldo suggested that Highsmith’s absence could be linked to his feelings about Herbig’s deal, given Highsmith’s consistent performance since his rookie season.
