Top NFL training camp storylines
How will Browns' quarterback competition end?
Joe Flacco appears to be the favorite, Kenny Pickett is a veteran with a shot, Dillon Gabriel was the higher of the two draft picks this past spring, and Shedeur Sanders is, well, Shedeur Sanders. Whoever wins, it'll be buzzy.
Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey join up with Steelers
Two of the biggest offseason additions happened in June, and the Steelers are counting on them to help lift the franchise higher than a first-round exit and into genuine Super Bowl contention.
Will Terry McLaurin get a new deal?
Terry McLaurin had his best season last year and is now entering the final year of his current contract. But there's been little movement on an extension, despite McLaurin sitting out of minicamp in June to send a message. "I've been pretty frustrated, I'm not gonna lie," McLaurin said Tuesday. The question Washington must answer: How long will he stay that way?
What's up with contract extensions for Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson?
T.J. Watt got his historic contract extension. Now attention turns toward two other star pass rushers, Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson. The Cowboys notoriously slow-play retaining their star talent, so while it feels like a Parsons deal will get done, the fact it hasn't is notable. And the Bengals and Hendrickson are talking again, so there's that.
How fast will all second-round picks sign?
A handful of second-round picks from this past draft have now signed, after the first two that did had their contracts fully guaranteed. The rest are pushing for as much guaranteed money as possible, and thus far it's benefited the players greatly.
How will George Pickens incorporate with Cowboys?
Dak Prescott is hyped to throw to newly acquired wide receiver George Pickens, especially with CeeDee Lamb already in the same offense. Will we see early fireworks at camp and in preseason from this connection?
How will J.J. McCarthy look as Vikings QB?
After missing last year (on-field, at least) due to injury, J.J. McCarthy takes the reins as QB1 in Minnesota. Will the 2024 10th overall pick reward the faith of head coach Kevin O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, who let Sam Darnold walk this offseason? And if he doesn't, could a Kirk Cousins reunion be in line?
How will Jaguars use Travis Hunter?
The second overall pick of the draft has spent the majority of his time on offense this offseason and has gotten defensive snaps when the daily plan called for it. We'll get more information on how the Jaguars will use him this month.
How soon can Jaxson Dart start?
Russell Wilson is QB1 with the Giants to start training camp. But first-round pick Jaxson Dart has prototype physical traits and could push to begin his inevitable takeover of the job sooner rather than later.
Ben Johnson's first year with Bears, Caleb Williams
Chicago wanted an offensive mastermind to pair with its first overall pick from 2024. Ben Johnson is that guy, having helmed the Lions' prolific offense the past few seasons. What will he look like as a head coach with a talent like Williams?
Raiders' new-look offense gets installed
Geno Smith is the quarterback. Ashton Jeanty is the running back. Brock Bowers is arguably TE1 leaguewide already. Chip Kelly is the new offensive coordinator. The Raiders should be entertaining as hell on offense. We get our first true glimpses very soon.
Sam Darnold takes over in Seattle
The Seahawks' $100(.5) million QB is the centerpiece of an overhaul that took place this offseason. Klint Kubiak will be calling plays, DK Metcalf is gone, and the offense as a whole will look different. The biggest piece will be Darnold, who can either prove the first 16 games last year were his real self — and not the last two.

Cardinals expect to have second-round pick Will Johnson signed for training camp
Cardinals second-round pick Will Johnson is one of just three 2025 NFL draft picks who still has not signed his rookie contract. That could change today. Johnson, a cornerback from Michigan, is expected to have his rookie deal done before training camp opens tomorrow, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. Second-round picks across the league were very slow to sign their rookie contracts after the first two players taken in the second round got fully guaranteed contracts and the rest of the second round wanted big guarantees too. But almost every second-round pick got his rookie contract done before training camp, and Johnson expects to as well. If Johnson signs, there will be just two unsigned 2025 draft picks: Bengals first-round defensive end Shemar Stewart, who remains at an impasse with the team about contract language potentially voiding future guarantees, and Browns second-round running back Quinshon Judkins, who might not sign any time soon because he is currently dealing with a criminal investigation into an accusation that he punched a woman.

Commentary: LAFC fans put aside their rivalry with Galaxy to stand in solidarity against ICE
There are more important things than the results of a soccer game. Even when that soccer game is between bitter rivals whose supporters would rather bust one another's heads than shake hands. The El Tráfico match between LAFC and the Galaxy is one of those proper rivalries. In just eight seasons, it has blossomed into the most intense, meaningful and emotional rivalry in MLS. And at times, especially in the derby's early years, that emotion went largely unchecked, with some fans seeing their nights end in handcuffs or a hospital emergency room. Last Saturday was different. Well, at least it started differently before ending with the same wild raucousness that has come to define El Tráfico. More about that in a bit. But first, some background. Read more: Galaxy scores in final minute to force draw with LAFC in tense El Tráfico contest More than six weeks ago, masked federal agents, soon to be backed by National Guard troops and U.S. Marines, began invading neighborhoods across Southern California during immigration raids that The Times reported increased fear while leading to more than 2,700 arrests. More than two-thirds of those arrested had never been convicted of a crime and 57% had never been charged with a crime. And this is where the story becomes a soccer one. Soccer, by custom and breeding, is an immigrant sport. Like pizza, sushi and Halloween, soccer was imported to the U.S. by immigrants and was popularized in immigrant neighborhoods before spreading to the culture at large. So for many soccer fans, the violent raids, which upended families and communities, were personal. Angel City FC, Los Angeles' National Women's Soccer League team, and LAFC reacted immediately. Within hours of the first raids, both teams issued statements of support of their fans. Read more: Commentary: Angel City takes stand against immigration raids as others stay silent 'When so many in our city are feeling fear and uncertainty,' the LAFC statement read in part, 'LAFC stands shoulder to shoulder with all members of our community." The Galaxy and its parent company, AEG, like the rest of MLS, have so far been silent — a silence that has been deafening to so many of its supporters, they began boycotting the team and its activities. Longtime season-ticket holders have canceled their orders and at Saturday's El Tráfico at BMO Stadium the three sections in the upper deck reserved for fans of the visiting team were nearly half empty for the first time. So LAFC's supporters' union stepped into the void, delivering the message Galaxy fans have yet to get from their club: we have your back. Just before kickoff LAFC fans in the north stand unfurled a massive banner that read: 'Los Angeles Unidos Jamás Será Vencido" ("Los Angeles, united, will never be defeated.") The message is a take on a revolutionary slogan that begins 'the people united.' It originated in Chile in the 1970s but has long been popular with grassroots movements throughout Latin America because its meaning transcends political — and soccer — affiliations to deliver a universal truth about unity and justice. In this fight, the LAFC supporters were saying, the two local MLS teams were on the same side. It wasn't exactly joining hands with Galaxy supporters and singing "Kumbaya." But it was close. Given soccer's history and heritage, it's both sad and revealing that LAFC remains the only MLS organization that has spoken out about the fear and frustration the immigration raids have caused. This isn't a political issue, after all; LAFC's brief 49-word statement, which a league source not authorized to speak publicly said was approved by MLS, never mentions politics or immigration. Instead, it celebrates the importance of diversity. Yet no other team, in a league that owes its very existence to immigrants, has had the courage to take even that tepid a step. Rolling Stone, citing league and team sources, said there is worry taking any kind of stand would lead the Trump administration, which launched the raids, to retaliate. They cite the example of the Dodgers, who were sued by a Trump-aligned conservative legal group, after pledging to give $1 million to support immigrant families. A league executive, not authorized to speak on the record, pushed back on that. The closest the league has come to making a formal policy declaration about such matters, the executive said, is a two-decade-old fan code of conduct that 'prohibits fans from displaying signs, symbols, or images used for commercial purposes or to advocate for or against any political candidate, party, legislative issue, or government action.' Read more: Galaxy disciplines fans for rule violations while protesting team response to ICE raids The league may tacitly have encouraged teams to stay silent, but its policies don't expressly prohibit the Galaxy, or any other team, from supporting immigrants and opposing the arrests of legal residents. Yet LAFC — and Angel City and the Chicago Red Stars in the NWSL — are the only top-tier soccer teams that have yet done so. So it's fallen to the fans to take action, with MLS supporters in Seattle, San Diego, Chicago, Nashville, Austin and elsewhere waving banners and staging boycotts. But if ICE is a common enemy, it's not the only one. After the Galaxy rallied twice from two-goal deficits Saturday to tie LAFC on the final touch of the game — a game marred by a mini-brawl involving as many as 10 players early in stoppage time — the rivalry was back on, with LAFC fans pelting the referees with beer and trash and arguing with Galaxy supporters in the parking lots. Solidarity, it seems, has its limits. ⚽ You have read the latest installment of On Soccer with Kevin Baxter. The weekly column takes you behind the scenes and shines a spotlight on unique stories.

Former England star Gascoigne released from hospital
Former Tottenham and England midfielder Paul Gascoigne is recovering at home after being released from hospital. The 58-year-old, who lives in Poole, on England's south coast, was admitted to intensive care on Friday after being found semi-conscious by a friend. However, his management company has confirmed he has now been discharged. "Paul voluntarily went into A&E (Accident and Emergency) on Friday after struggling with a throat condition (not by ambulance) he has had for a while," said a statement from the MNT Agency. "He is already back home and doing well." Gascoigne, who won 57 caps for his country, was discovered by Steve Foster, who works as his driver and personal assistant. He was treated by intensive care staff and later moved to an acute medical unit, where his condition was said to be stable, and he has since been released. One of the most naturally gifted footballers of his generation, Gascoigne played for Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Everton. He became a global star after his eye-catching performances at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where England reached the semi-finals, and he also impressed at Euro 96. The midfielder's issues with alcohol addiction and depression are well-documented and he has suffered a series of health problems in recent years. In 2020, Gascoigne said he had turned his life around after having anti-alcohol pellets sewn into his stomach. But last year, he admitted on the High Performance podcast that he was a "sad drunk" living in a spare room at the home of his agent. jw/lp
