Contract squabbles galore as NFL teams kick off training camp
Contract squabbles. Quarterback competitions. Comeback quests. Article content Those will be just a few of the storylines to watch during NFL training camp. When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons report on Wednesday, all 32 teams will be ready to go. Article content Article content Each one is 0-0 and can dream about winning the Super Bowl. It's a much more realistic thought for some teams than others. Still, it's a long road that requires key players staying healthy, plenty of luck and exceptional performances in the biggest moments. Article content Article content Here are five of the most compelling storylines to watch: Article content Contract issues Article content Micah Parsons is going to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history because Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have waited to give the two-time All-Pro a contract extension. Last year, Jones made Dak Prescott the league's first $60-million man. Article content How long will it take to get the deal done? Will it impact Parsons' participation in practice? Article content All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson wants a new contract from the Cincinnati Bengals, who also haven't signed first-round pick Shemar Stewart. The Bengals are holding their ground. Something has to give if they want to compete for a championship because their defence needs the help. Article content Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin also is seeking an extension. Washington, which lost to the Eagles in the NFC title game, acquired Deebo Samuel and reworked his contract. They'll want McLaurin on board to make the offence even more dynamic. Article content Article content Quarterback battles Article content Article content The Cleveland Browns have used 40 starting quarterbacks since 1999. That number will increase by Week 1 unless veteran Joe Flacco wins a four-way competition against Kenny Pickett and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Article content Flacco, the Super Bowl 47 MVP, was the AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year when he led the Browns to the playoffs in 2023. He's the favourite going into camp. Article content The Indianapolis Colts brought in veteran Daniel Jones to battle Anthony Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in 2023 who has been injured often and has a lingering shoulder problem. Article content Rookie Tyler Shough, second-year pro Spencer Rattler and unproved Jake Haener will compete to replace Derek Carr, who retired after two seasons in New Orleans. Article content The New York Giants signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency and then traded up to get Jaxson Dart in the first round. General manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll are in win-now mode so whichever quarterback gives them the best chance to compete in a difficult NFC East will get the job.

Former Jackson State star signs with Dallas Cowboys
After an up-and-down journey in the NFL, former Jackson State star and Detroit Lions edge rusher James Houston has signed with the Dallas Cowboys, according to multiple reports. Houston, a 2022 sixth-round pick out of Jackson State, began his career on the Lions' practice squad. He made an immediate impact after being activated, debuting on Thanksgiving Day with a two-sack performance against the Buffalo Bills. He went on to tally eight sacks in just seven games, quickly becoming one of the league's most surprising breakout rookies. Despite that early success, Houston struggled to carve out a consistent role. In the 2023 offseason, Detroit experimented with him at SAM linebacker, but the fit didn't stick. His momentum took another hit when he fractured his ankle while covering a punt in Week 2 against Seattle, sidelining him for most of the season. He returned just in time for the NFC Championship game. In 2024, the Lions gave Houston another opportunity as a traditional defensive end. However, he began the season as a healthy scratch. An injury to star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson opened the door for Houston to get back on the field, but he was ultimately waived on November 26. Now, Houston gets a fresh start with Dallas, a team actively building depth behind Micah Parsons. His mix of speed and burst off the edge makes him a compelling low-risk, high-reward signing for the Cowboys. At Jackson State University, James Houston was a dominant force on defense. In his lone season (2021), he recorded 70 total tackles, 24.5 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks, 7 forced fumbles, and 1 interception, helping lead JSU to an SWAC Championship and earning FCS All-American honors. At 25 years old, James Houston has a chance to revive his career and contribute to one of the NFC's top contenders, the Dallas Cowboys.

Trevon Diggs Fires Off Statement After Cowboys' Big Decision
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. Earlier this offseason, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs decided to rehab away from the Dallas Cowboys' facility. When members of the team were present for OTAs, Diggs was in Florida. At the time, it was clear there was a chance Diggs was looking at a six-figure deduction in his salary. In his contract, it states he would need to do most of his rehab at the team's facility. The star cornerback admitted to reporters on Tuesday that he didn't believe the Cowboys would take away the $500,000. It turns out he was wrong. "The de-escalation is contractually spelled out. When he decided to train in South Florida, he understood what the consequences would be," Cowboys' Executive Vice President Stephen Jones said. Diggs took to social media on Tuesday to fire off a statement of his own in response to his team's big decision.

"[I] was in full communication with the therapist [the] whole step of the way. I am not behind on my recovery process." Diggs then followed up by sending out, "Control what you can control," with a praying hands emoji. They knew where I was rehabbing at. Was in full Communication with the therapist whole step of the way. I am not behind on my recovery process. — TRE SE7EN (@TrevonDiggs) July 22, 2025 Before Diggs took to social media to sound off, he stood next to Cowboys star Micah Parsons following the first day of Dallas Cowboys training camp. When asked about the de-escalation, Diggs revealed his candid thoughts. "I didn't expect that, that kind of hurt my feelings," he admitted, according to Pro Football Talk. "It's OK. Hopefully, I'll make it back in incentives." Diggs is currently rehabbing from a knee surgery that he received during the 2024 NFL season. Over the past two years, he's been dealing with knee-related concerns after tearing his ACL during a practice early on in the 2023 NFL season. Currently, Diggs is on the NFL's PUP list. His availability for Week 1 is up in the air. The team has not revealed a timeline for his return to action. Despite his inability to participate in anything other than rehab, Diggs was expected to be present for all phases of the offseason, according to Jerry Jones. "He didn't earn it; he didn't come," Jerry Jones said on Monday. "That's in his contract that he doesn't get that unless he's going to be here. Those are contractual things, as Stephen said. It would be very detrimental to the team not to abide by the agreement. We expect a player paid like Trevon to be here all the time. We expect him to be leading."
