Kristin Juszczyk posts an emotional video after Kyle Juszczyk re-signs with the 49ers
It's safe to say Kristin Juszczyk -- known for her incredible NFL-themed clothing designs -- wasn't pleased when her husband, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, was cut after eight seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.
But there's great news for the couple: on Saturday, Kyle was back with the Niners on a two-year deal.
Kristin responded immediately with an awesome Instagram post and caption: a video of Kyle and her over the years while he was with the Niners.
As for the caption: "This past week has really made Kyle and I reflect on our past 8 years in the Bay. We grew up here. We turned friends into family here. We won championships here and we lost championships here. We feel so incredibly blessed to have called the bay home for the past 8 years. It's truly been the best years of our lives. Kyle's curtain isn't closed just yet and we couldn't be more happy and emotional to stay home!!! We're forever Faithful."

Deebo Samuel, Mike Sainristil and a promising sign for the Commanders

After the Washington Commanders finished practice Wednesday, veteran receiver Deebo Samuel and second-year cornerback Mike Sainristil kept working out together in a moment that encapsulated the state of the team. Samuel, who's entering his seventh season, ran about a dozen routes to show the young corner how receivers could use different release techniques at the line of scrimmage to create separation against him. One big focus was refining how to stick to receivers who use an outside release to set up an inside route. Sainristil has seen such moves before, of course, but he wanted to see them again and again so his reactions would become automatic. The moment was a metaphor. The team is Sainristil, a young upstart with lots of promise, and it wants to be Samuel, a proven winner and consistent presence in the biggest playoff games. Their work together distilled the purpose of this space in the NFL calendar between the roster-building flurry of the spring and the training-camp battles of the summer. These offseason workouts, which will end next week with mandatory minicamp, are for experimentation, relationship-building and skill development. 'You would've thought he's been here the past five years of his career the way he's adjusted,' Sainristil said of Samuel. 'He's a guy that loves extra work, loves football, loves to win. So, any way I can pick his brain about what receivers do to help myself, I'm going to do exactly that.' Coach Dan Quinn gushed about 'the environment that the players have created together.' 'We all know, to be at our best, it's gonna take all of us improving,' he said. 'If that's Mike asking Deebo a certain technique or vice versa, that's really where it takes place. And so, we take these times on the field seriously, 'cause it's not just the scheme, it's the individual skill work.' There's a massive difference, Quinn pointed out, between knowing what to do and having the minute details ingrained in muscle memory. 'Be very specific; I think that's where the gold is,' he said. 'That's why I think the teaching this time of year has to shine on the coaches, and we've got some excellent ones because they'll get very specific on the certain techniques. 'Let's try that one again. Let's put the hand into this space.' You're not in a rush to get to the next play [like you are during the season]. … If they have to do it four or five times, that's okay.' Defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. recently did similar work. He had a group of safeties practice press technique against a tight end. That specific skill set might not always be top of mind for coaches. But it could matter a lot in a big moment of a big game if safety Will Harris has to press, say, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert. It might not have been a coincidence that Wizards Coach Brian Keefe attended practice Wednesday. 'We learn a lot from the NBA [in terms of] what that small group would look like, of a specific two or three players getting better on something,' Quinn said. Samuel said he knows there are things he needs to work on himself. His top goal of the offseason was 'being in better shape for sure,' he said, though he declined to detail what he focused on or how it would show up in his game. He pointed out he also needed to learn a new offense. But Samuel showed through his work with Sainristil that he understands his value to the Commanders goes beyond his individual skills. He's been here just for a few weeks but has already embraced the word 'brotherhood,' the team's favorite way to express closeness. 'The guys in the locker room make it easy,' Samuel said. 'When I walked in the locker room, I felt like I've been here before because of how the guys treated me.' Said Whitt: 'When we went on that three-game losing streak [last season], it wasn't anything other than the brotherhood that kept them together.' The brief post-practice scene Wednesday carried all this subtle significance. Mentorship from talented veterans can help younger players — and therefore the team — actualize their potential. And the relationships built in those moments can help players stick together during tough times.

Dolphins sign defensive lineman who began his career in Miami

Ben Stille's NFL career is returning to where it started. The 6-foot-4, 296 pound defensive lineman has signed with the Miami Dolphins, the team that began his NFL journey as an undrafted rookie from Nebraska in 2022. Stille didn't make that Dolphins team out of training camp, but was added to Miami's practice squad after cuts were made and played one game for the Dolphins before the Cleveland Browns claimed him off Miami's practice squad that November. Stille played in six games, with one start for the Browns before being waived in May. That's when the Arizona Cardinals claimed Stille off waivers. He bounced back and forth from the Cardinals practice squad before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed him from Arizona, which played him in three games. He was waived by the Buccaneers in late September of last season and returned to the Cardinals, whom he played three games for in 2024. Throughout his three NFL seasons Stille has played in 18 games (with one start) and has contributed 17 tackles, one forced fumble and one pass deflection in 578 defensive snaps. The Dolphins added Stille because a roster spot is available due to Terron Armstead being placed on the NFL's retirement list, and because Zach Sieler is sitting out Miami's OTA sessions, which conclude this week, and might not participate in next week's mandatory minicamp. If players skips the mandatory minicamp each team holds they are subjected to a series of fines that can add up just under $105,000. It's a maximum fine of $17,462 for the first day, $34,925 for the second and $52,381 for the third. However, players can opt to attend minicamp, but aren't forced to participate because of the NFL's new CBA agreement. As long as they are in attendance they can't be fined, and they don't have to practice. The same approach can be taken for training camp, and those are called camp hold-ins. Players often use that approach to force a team's hand when there's a contract dispute. Sieler, a seven-year veteran who has started 65 games for the Dolphins, is slotted to earn $7,855,000 in 2025, and is the NFL's 50th highest paid defensive lineman, which makes him one of the NFL's biggest bargains considering he's delivered back-to-back 10 sack seasons. Sieler and tight end Jonnu Smith have participated in Miami's offseason program, but began skipping the on-field work two weeks ago while their agent, Drew Rosenhaus, works on getting both new contracts. Smith, a Pro Bowler who set franchise record for his position in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns last season, is slotted to earn just under $4.1 million in 2025 if all his bonuses are paid, and he's likely forfeiting a $100,000 workout bonus by skipping OTAs the past two weeks. Smith isn't one of the NFL's 30th highest paid tight ends no matter how his salary is tabulated. The Dolphins have held trade discussions about Smith with the Pittsburgh Steelers according to ESPN, but Rosenhaus claims Smith's priority is to get a deal done with Miami because South Florida is where the Florida International University product calls home. As for Sieler, he's signed for the next two seasons, slotted to earn $16 million over the next two season on his current deal. But players of his talent-level are earning $16-20 million a year salaries. The Dolphins have signed Sieler to an extension twice before, the last of which came during training camp in 2023. Stille's addition hints that the Dolphins don't have enough 3-4 defensive ends to set the edge in the base scheme. Sieler and Calais Campbell filled that role in 2024, but Campbell's a member of the Cardinals now. Miami added three college nose tackles in the 2025 draft, selecting Kenneth Grant in the first-round, Jordan Phillips in the fifth-round and Zeek Biggers in the seventh-round, but none of those rookies have the build and athleticism required to work on the edge of an uneven front. At this point the Dolphins have Matt Dickerson, a six-year veteran who spent time on Miami's practice squad last season, Matthew Butler, a three-year veteran, and rookie Alex Huntley, a former South Carolina standout, working in that defensive end role. Whether Stille makes it out of training camp likely depends on how well he plays when his opportunity comes in minicamp, and training camp, which opens in late July.

NFL Insider's Concerning Terry McLaurin Update

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Soon, the Washington Commanders will gather for mandatory minicamp, and they could be missing a major piece to their offense when that time comes. According to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, the All-Pro receiver Terry McLaurin has "made it clear" to the Commanders' front office that he is frustrated with his current contract situation. When the Commanders held voluntary minicamp sessions, McLaurin was initially a part of the action. However, it was reported that he didn't stick around. According to Schultz, it "remains to be seen" whether he'll report for mandatory minicamp. Sources: #Commanders All-Pro WR Terry McLaurin has made it clear to the team that he's frustrated with the lack of progress on a long-term deal. As I previously reported, McLaurin unexpectedly left voluntary workouts after initially attending, and it remains to be seen whether… — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) June 5, 2025 The Commanders announced back in April that the mandatory phase of OTAs will begin on June 10 and run for two days. So far, there doesn't seem to be a lot of panic coming out of Commander Land. Since Washington drafted McLaurin out of Ohio State in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, he's been a priority for the organization.

The latest DraftKings promo code offer gives new bettors a $200 bonus after any $5 wager on Terry McLaurin and the Commanders or the rival Eagles on Thursday Night his rookie season, McLaurin caught 58 passes for 919 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games. Since then, he hasn't had a season under 1,000 yards. Last year, McLaurin caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns. He was named an All-Pro for the first time in his career and earned his second Pro Bowl nod, two years after adding his first to his resume. For the first time last season, the Commanders managed to match McLaurin with their top-tier rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels. The QB-WR duo proved to be a major threat to secondaries, as the Commanders' offense rolled through a successful season, shocking the league as they were initially thought to be in a transition period. Instead, the Commanders made the playoffs and made a run to the NFC Championship. In McLaurin's second playoff run, he appeared in all three games. The veteran wideout caught 14 passes for 227 yards and three touchdowns. Heading into the 2025 NFL season, McLaurin is set to play on the final year of his current deal. He's set to make $15.5 million for the season. In 2026, he could become a free agent, barring any changes on the extension front. With McLaurin potentially entering holdout territory this summer, the Commanders will have to begin picking up some steam on the extension front to avoid further complications with one of Jayden Daniels' top weapons. For the time being, Daniels seems comfortable with the situation, recently confirming that he maintains a "good relationship" with McLaurin. At the end of the day, business is business, and McLaurin is trying to take care of his.
