Report: Texans work out former Raider Damon Arnette Jr.
June 9 - The Houston Texans worked out former first-round pick Damon Arnette Jr., who has not played in the NFL since legal problems derailed his career in 2022. KPRC2 reported that Arnette worked out for the Texans on Monday ahead of the team's minicamp. The Texans are searching for secondary depth. The recent retirement of veteran cornerback Ronald Darby created uncertainty on the depth chart. Arnette, 28, was selected No. 19 overall by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2020 draft. He played in 13 games (seven starts) before Arnette was hit with felony gun charges stemming from an incident at a Las Vegas casino in January 2022. Arnette was accused of brandishing a .45-caliber handgun during an argument with casino valets. Arnette was sentenced to community service and fined $2,000 in August 2023 after agreeing to a plea deal. The Raiders released Arnette in November 2021 amid two lawsuits and a troubling video posted by the defensive back. The video showed Arnette repeatedly threatening to kill someone while brandishing what appeared to be semi-automatic weapons. The Kansas City Chiefs, who had signed Arnette to a reserve contract, released him after the arrest at the casino. Arnette most recently played for the Houston Roughnecks of the UFL, racking up 18 tackles and an interception last season. Injuries limited Arnette to 13 games (seven starts) in his one-plus seasons with the Raiders. He didn't record any interceptions and had 29 tackles. --Field Level Media

Reports: Packers to release CB Jaire Alexander
June 9 - The Green Bay Packers have told cornerback Jaire Alexander that he will be released, multiple outlets reported Monday. Alexander, 28, skipped the in-person, voluntary workouts this offseason but was expected to be at the mandatory minicamp, which opens Tuesday. A contentious relationship between the two parties continued this offseason, with the Packers seeking to restructure his contract amid frustration over his lack of availability; Alexander appeared in just 14 games over the past two seasons combined. Last season, he didn't play in a game after Week 11, contending he was injured, though he did participate in some practices. In 2023, it was shoulder and knee injuries -- along with a one-game team suspension -- that limited his availability. The team has tried to trade him this offseason but to no avail. "We invested a lot in Jaire and want to make sure, if he's not gonna be on our football team helping us win games, that we get something back for that investment," Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst said earlier this offseason. "So we'll see where it goes, but again, working with (Alexander's agent) weekly and trying to figure out what's best for both Jaire and the Packers." The team selected Alexander in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He has two years left on the four-year extension he signed in 2022 with a base salary of $16.15 million in 2025 and $18.15 million in 2026. A post-June 1 release will cost the Packers more than $7.5 million in dead money but with around $17.1 million in cap savings, according to Over The Cap. Alexander was a second-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowl selection in both 2020 and 2022. Over seven seasons, he has appeared in 78 games (76 starts). He has 12 career interceptions with a high of five in 2022. He also has three picks in seven playoff appearances. --Field Level Media

Revealed: The two quarterbacks Pittsburgh Steelers failed to sign before turning to Aaron Rodgers
The Pittsburgh Steelers tried to retain Justin Fields and court Matthew Stafford to the East Coast before committing to Aaron Rodgers as the team's next starting quarterback. Rodgers being the Steelers third choice for 2025 was revealed after the 41-year-old ended his months-long NFL exile and signed with Pittsburgh last week. Fields opted to take Rodgers' old spot and start for the New York Jets under new head coach Aaron Glenn. Stafford appeared briefly on the trade block before the Los Angeles Rams made sure he wanted to stay in Hollywood. The Steelers' process to land on Rodgers had the four-time MVP as their primary target was in place for months, as the other duo committed away from the Steel City in March, per ESPN. Rodgers only signed a 1-year contract with the team, due to his age, meaning the long-term answer at quarterback for Pittsburgh is likely still not on the team's roster. For this year, the Rodgers' show comes to Pittsburgh, with plenty of competition from the rest of the AFC. Rodgers is likely inserted as the Steelers No 1 quarterback for the season, with any talk of a competition with Mason Rudolph or Will Howard holding zero weight, as neither have had NFL success. Last month, the momentum behind Rudolph being the starter as at an all-time high after he appeared at a rally for President Donald Trump. Rudolph, alongside safety Miles Killebrew, and four-time Super Bowl champion Rocky Bleier, gave Trump a personalized Steelers jersey. Trump also gave his two cents on Pittsburgh's quarterback situation, endorsing Rudolph. 'I happen to think a really good quarterback is a man named Mason Rudolph,' Trump said. 'I think he's gonna get a big shot. He's tall, he's handsome, he's got a great arm. And I have a feeling he's gonna be the guy.'
