NFL training camp 2025 news, live updates: Trey Hendrickson savages Bengals' contract offer
The 2025 NFL season is right around the corner. Twenty-six of 32 teams report to training camp across the league on Tuesday, with no shortage of storylines. A couple big ones popping up already: Trey Hendrickson said the Bengals' contract offer is "atrociously, atrociously low," and Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has reportedly been fully cleared for training camp. Who else will make headlines this week? We're rounding up the news, updates, position battles, contract drama and more you need to know. Off we go! Top storylines of NFL training camp NFL training camp live blog NFL training camp schedule/team feeds Monday, July 21 Kansas City Chiefs | Dallas Cowboys Tuesday, July 22 Buffalo Bills | Miami Dolphins | New England Patriots | New York Jets | Baltimore Ravens | Cincinnati Bengals | Cleveland Browns | Houston Texans | Indianapolis Colts | Jacksonville Jaguars | Tennessee Titans | Denver Broncos | Las Vegas Raiders | New York Giants | Philadelphia Eagles | Washington Commanders | Chicago Bears | | Green Bay Packers | Minnesota Vikings | Carolina Panthers | New Orleans Saints | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Arizona Cardinals | Los Angeles Rams | San Francisco 49ers | Seattle Seahawks Wednesday, July 23 Pittsburgh Steelers | Atlanta Falcons 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 July 15. The question Washington must answer: How long will he stay that way? 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?

JC Tretter resigns from NFL Players Association
First, Lloyd Howell. Now, JC Tretter. In a lengthy interview that was posted earlier this hour, Tretter tells Jonathan Jones of that Tretter is resigning from the NFL Players Association. The former union president had returned last year, as the NFLPA's chief strategy officer. "Over the last couple days, it has gotten very, very hard for my family," Tretter said. "And that's something I can't deal with. So, the short bullet points are: I have no interest in being [executive director]. I have no interest in being considered; I've let the executive committee know that. I'm also going to leave the NFLPA in the coming days because I don't have anything left to give the organization." But Tretter was a candidate to become the interim executive director. And Pablo Torre's reporting pointed to a broader strategy by Tretter to eventually succeed Lloyd Howell as the full-time, non-interim leader of the union. "I want to get my story out there, and I don't want it to look like this was sour grapes or I didn't get the job and I wanted the job," Tretter said. "All I want to do is tell my story and then go be with my family." He did indeed get his story out there. It comes off as a one-way effort from Tretter to provide his version on anything and everything, with little if any pointed questions or followup. "I'm not resigning because what I've been accused of is true," Tretter said. "I'm not resigning in disgrace. I'm resigning because this has gone too far for me and my family, and I've sucked it up for six weeks. And I felt like I've been kind of left in the wind taking shots for the best of the organization. . . . "I got to the point this morning where I woke up and I realized, like, I am going to keep dying on this fucking sword forever of, I'll never, ever be able to do what's best for me. And I will always pick what's best for the organization. And in the end, what's the organization done for me? Like, nothing. "I've been a bullet shield for six weeks for them where everything that's been controversial, it just all dumps down on me, and I've had nothing to fucking do with it. And that's when I was like, I'm done taking bullets for the [organization] on stuff I wasn't a part of and did not do." Or course, he did badmouth Russell Wilson after he failed to get a fully-guaranteed deal. (Tretter says he called Wilson a "fucking loser" in a text message to former NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith.) Also, Tretter suggested that disgruntled players should fake injuries, sparking a grievance the NFLPA lost in a slam-dunk ruling. So his hands aren't entirely clean. Even without the application of any elbow grease as to the various positions he took in his comments to CBS. Either way, now ends Tretter's time with the union. Since the NFLPA didn't previously have a chief strategy officer, it may not replace him. For now, the primary challenge becomes hiring an interim executive director.

Christian Wade's attitude sees him make mark in THIRD professional sport
Former England and British Lions RU ace scored on senior RL debut, just like he did in American Football WADE IN Christian Wade's attitude sees him make mark in THIRD professional sport Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHRISTIAN Wade is proving mind over matter and seizing his chance makes sure he comes good as he makes his mark in a THIRD professional sport. The former England and British Lions RU star scored a try on his senior rugby league debut as Wigan saw off Huddersfield. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Christian Wade has revealed how his attitude to taking chances is seeing him make his way in a third professional sport Credit: Just like when he made NFL giants Buffalo Bills' squad and scored a 65-yard touchdown with his first touch. And at the heart of it all is what goes on in his head, just as it did when he was a kid. Wade said: 'Don't worry about mistakes or what might go wrong. Just think about what can go right. 'There's no point because things are going to go wrong. Things going wrong is inevitable. 'I hadn't played rugby league before, I've only been here four weeks, I've played the whole season with Gloucester. 'There were all these excuses you can have on it, but I was like, 'No, from the day I come here, I need to train like I'm playing, so when my opportunity comes, I'm ready to go. 'On Wednesday it was like, 'Right Wadey, you're playing.' 'In the NFL, it's very rare you get opportunities. I got one in the fourth quarter and on my first touch, I scored. In rugby, it's the same. 'There are loads when I had to seize the moment. That's propelled me on to the next opportunity. 'There are loads I didn't get, but I pride myself on any I've had in my career, I've made the most of them. 'I haven't always had the same opportunities everyone else has, but whatever I've had, I've always tried to do something with a bang. 'It's, 'When that opportunity arises, what are you going to do with it?' 'When I was younger, I might get five minutes off the bench or play a whole game, but there was one opportunity where I got the ball. 3 Wade scored a try on his senior debut against Huddersfield Credit: 'If it's the one time, I'm scoring. I'm determined to make something of this opportunity, of this possession. That's what it's always been, trying to make something happen. 'I'd been waiting for one at Wigan, so it was like, 'OK, this is my opportunity to play. Try and make the most of it.'' Wade, 34, had a shaky start but raced over in the second half of a 'crazy' experience. Even in just 80 minutes, his attitude to life shone through as he added ahead of today's visit of Hull FC: 'It was crazy. 'From the very start to the end, it was a whole different experience. The speed of the game. It's an aerobic game, we're constantly moving. There are no real rest periods. 'And a lot of contacts for me. Things like first and second carries, but that's my job. If that's my job, then I have to make sure I'm in there. 3 Wade believes Junior Nsemba would be a superstar, whatever the code or competition Credit: 'Huddersfield did put a couple of high kicks up at me and I dropped a couple easy ones, which I wasn't happy about. 'That's the game, though. I could do better but you've got to try and ride it out.' Wade may be from down south and his accent definitely is not from Wigan but he has quickly integrated himself into the Warriors' squad. And one player stands out more than most, Junior Nsemba. 'He was probably the first player I met at the Good Friday game with St Helens,' Wade recalled. 'But I knew was an up-and-coming superstar. 'From the beginning, I was like, 'This guy's an absolute beast.' He's really big, but he's fast. He's got footwork. He's powerful, he's strong. 'He is something to fear, especially at his age now. What's he going to be like in five years? 100 per cent, he'd be a superstar in either code or any competition.'
