"I think the culture of this locker room is one that wants to win and win now, but it's also something that I want to earn. I know that it was reported that I wanted a new contract, but I just wanted to know that I was going to be here for more than a season, and I got that."And now, I'm going to go out there, play All-Pro, Pro Bowl level, and hopefully earn the respect of my teammates and the organization to have that long-term contract."<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3316352" href="https://thescore.com/news/3316352">agreed</a> to a revised deal that added a $16.245-million signing bonus to his pact and also reportedly cleared $11 million in cap space. The safety has two years remaining on the four-year, $76-million deal he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022.Fitzpatrick landed back in Miami in a blockbuster trade that sent All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey to Pittsburgh. The Dolphins selected Fitzpatrick in the first round of the 2018 draft, but he suited up for only 18 games with the team before getting dealt to the Steelers. The Alabama product was reportedly upset with the organization at the time due to his usage under then-head coach Brian Flores."I would say I'm definitely a lot more emotionally mature," Fitzpatrick said of his first stint in Miami. "I think I was very emotionally unintelligent back then."Like I just said, I learned from my mistakes, and I tried to grow in that area. I tried to get to know the people around me better and learn how to communicate, learn how to not communicate. Just stuff like that, for sure."Fitzpatrick has earned three first-team All-Pro nods during his seven-year career. His best campaign came in 2022 when he led the league in interceptions (6) while totaling 96 tackles and 11 passes defended.

"The goal for us is for Baker to continue to be the player that he is, and at some point, we reach an extension when the time is right and he continues to be our quarterback for a long time. That's the goal."Mayfield is entering his third season as the Buccaneers' starting signal-caller. He won the No. 1 quarterback job in 2023 after signing a one-year, $4-million deal in free agency. <div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The 30-year-old took the Bucs to the divisional round in his first campaign in Tampa Bay, and he was rewarded with a three-year extension worth up to $100 million.

He's still new to the scheme, new to coming out here and throwing it to these different receivers. You're not really expecting him to have the same mindset as a veteran."McCarthy is stepping into the spotlight as Minnesota's lead signal-caller this season. He missed the entire 2024 campaign with a knee injury after the club selected him 10th overall in last year's draft. <div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The 22-year-old spent two seasons as Michigan's starter before entering the NFL. The Wolverines ran a run-heavy scheme during McCarthy's tenure, forcing him to only attempt 654 passes across 2022-2023. For perspective, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft, Cam Ward, attempted 1,436 passes in three seasons as a starter in college.Minnesota went 14-3 last season with <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/98048" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/98048">Sam Darnold</a> at the helm, the second-best regular-season record in franchise history.

"Whoever he decides is the best fit for what we're trying to do offensively, Game 1, we're going to rock beside. I think all these guys are very capable. We have confidence in all of them."The Browns kick off their season against the Cincinnati Bengals Sept. 7.

Cowboys wide receiver <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/174055" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/174055">George Pickens</a> is looking forward to a fresh start in Dallas following his offseason trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers."I'm definitely excited to run better plays for sure," Pickens <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NjDmKqGhbo">told reporters</a> Tuesday after Dallas' first training camp practice.Pickens joins a Cowboys offense that struggled last season with injuries and inconsistency, ranking 29th in EPA/play and 28th in dropback success rate, according to <a href="https://rbsdm.com/stats/stats/">Ben Baldwin's database</a>. Pickens is set to be quarterback Dak Prescott's No. 2 target behind star wideout CeeDee Lamb.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The Cowboys acquired Pickens after the 24-year-old spent the first three years of his career in Pittsburgh. He led the Steelers in combined targets (209), receptions (122), and receiving yards (2,040) over the last two campaigns.Prescott will be the best signal-caller Pickens has played with since entering the league as a 2022 second-round pick. During the wideout's tenure with the Steelers, Pittsburgh never had a quarterback exceed 2,500 passing yards in a single season.However, Pickens has struggled with disciplinary issues. Following a December game last season, head coach Mike Tomlin <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3146761" href="https://thescore.com/news/3146761">said</a> the Georgia product needed to "grow up" after he took multiple penalties in the contest."I think I needed a fresh start just in terms of people not knowing me," Pickens said Tuesday. "I think that's the whole thing about it."Pickens has 174 receptions with 2,841 receiving yards and 12 scores in 48 career games.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch told reporters Tuesday that the team isn't "anywhere close" to a timeline on wide receiver <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/125339" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/125339">Brandon Aiyuk's</a> return from a torn ACL, according to <a href="https://x.com/MaioccoNBCS/status/1947720119536513352">NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco</a>.Aiyuk got hurt in a contest against the Kansas City Chiefs this past October. Lynch added that the team is encouraged by the wideout's rehab, considering he "did a lot to his knee," per Maiocco.The 27-year-old was the subject of trade rumors this offseason, as San Francisco reportedly discussed a deal involving the wide receiver with multiple teams. Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120-million contract in August 2024 following a lengthy contract dispute.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Aiyuk is expected to be the 49ers' top wide receiver when he returns from injury. He's been with the Niners since they selected him in the first round of the 2020 draft.Wide receiver <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/94099" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/94099">Jauan Jennings</a>, who <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3311688" href="https://thescore.com/news/3311688">reportedly</a> wants to be traded if the 49ers don't give him a contract extension, was in attendance for the start of camp. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the 28-year-old hasn't formally requested a move out of San Francisco, according to <a href="https://x.com/Eric_Branch/status/1947722581924319554">Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle</a>."We anticipate him being out there," Lynch <a href="https://x.com/NBCS49ers/status/1947728871371247778">said</a> of Jennings. "You guys know our feelings about JJ. He embodies what we think a Niner's all about. Plays the right way and we love him. We're not going to talk about contracts and all that, but we love him, and he's here."San Francisco added depth to its wide receiver room Tuesday by signing veteran <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/99945" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/99945">Equanimeous St. Brown</a>. The six-year veteran enjoyed his best season in 2022, when he caught 21 passes for 323 yards and one touchdown.

Dolphins wide receiver <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/83498" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/83498">Tyreek Hill</a> said he wanted out of Miami at the end of last season as the team missed the playoffs. On reflection, he thinks his response left something to be desired."I've always been a competitor, dog. ... In those moments like that, I need to be better as a leader," Hill said Tuesday when asked about his comments, according to the <a href="https://x.com/DavidFurones_/status/1947683615468306914">South Florida Sun Sentinel's David Furones</a>.He added: "As a leader of this team and also as a leader of this community, I just need to be better. ... There's a ton of little kids that look up to me as a player, as a role model."<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>After the Week 18 loss to the New York Jets, Hill suggested to reporters that it would be best for his career and his family if the Dolphins traded him. Miami held onto Hill, and he's set to begin his fourth season with the Dolphins since being acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022.Hill led the league in receiving yards (1,799) and receiving touchdowns (13) in 2023 en route to a first-team All-Pro nomination. However, his stats sharply declined last season as he averaged just 56.4 receiving yards per game with six scores.The 31-year-old suited up in all 17 contests but dealt with a wrist injury throughout the campaign. He underwent surgery to repair ligament damage this offseason."I feel back to being myself. No pain. No complaints," Hill said of his wrist, according to the <a href="https://x.com/omarkelly/status/1947684274095706405?s=46&amp;t=Te6Q7pJGuCjZ9p88DFq6gw">Miami Herald's Omar Kelly</a>.The Dolphins kick off their season Sept. 7 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Newly signed Commanders pass-rusher <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/21358" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/21358">Von Miller</a> said quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/199756" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/199756">Jayden Daniels</a> was a key reason why he decided to sign with Washington."You can't leave Josh Allen and just go anywhere," Miller told the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/07/22/von-miller-sacks/">Washington Post's Nicki Jhabvala</a>. "You can't leave your old girlfriend and just go with just anybody. Like, Josh Allen was MVP of the league last year. I feel like Jayden Daniels has MVP potential as well."Miller signed a one-year, $6.1-million contract with the Commanders that has a maximum value of $10.5 million with incentives. The veteran edge rusher said he talked with other teams but having lunch in June with Daniels, head coach Dan Quinn, and general manager Adam Peters helped push him to choose the Commanders.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Daniels, 24, is heading into his sophomore season after leading the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game, the first time the franchise has made it past the divisional round since 1991. Washington went 12-5 during the regular season with the rookie signal-caller racking up 4,459 yards and 31 touchdowns.Out of 32 qualifying quarterbacks in 2024, Daniels ranked sixth in EPA/play and eighth in completion percentage, according to <a href="https://rbsdm.com/stats/stats/">Ben Baldwin's database</a>. "It was the best team with the best quarterback," Miller said of his decision to join Washington. "That's usually the math for me to be able to go and do what I do."Miller, 36, recorded six sacks in 13 games with the Buffalo Bills last season. The former Super Bowl MVP hasn't recorded double-digit sacks since 2018, as he's battled injuries in recent years that have slowed down his production."One of my things this offseason was just to stay healthy," Miller said. "It's kind of weird not having a contract. You don't want to hit it too hard because you don't want to come in feeling unhealthy … so I had to take my foot off the gas a little bit. But these last three weeks, I've been hitting it pretty hard. So I'm feeling pretty good. I'm ready to go."The three-time first-team All-Pro has 129 career sacks across 186 NFL regular-season games with the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Rams, and Bills.
