Micah Parsons will attend minicamp, but what about training camp?
Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons will attend the team's mandatory minicamp next week, but will he be at the start of training camp? Parsons indicated in a social media post Tuesday night that he will join the team in Oxnard, California, in July only if he has signed a contract extension by then. That was the expectation, with the four-time Pro Bowl still awaiting an extension. 'I haven't missed a minicamp in 4 years!' Parsons said. 'Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook! I'm preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it's in the owner's hands. I'm ready to win a Super Bowl!' He did not indicate whether he would participate in the minicamp, and it seems unlikely he does any on-field work. Parsons has participated in some of the voluntary offseason program but not the organized team activities. He returned from Spain on Tuesday and showed up at the team facility after practice for team photo day. Parsons, 25, became eligible for an extension after the 2023 season, and he now is in the final year of his contract scheduled to make $24 million on the fifth-year option. He wants a new deal and is expected eventually to get one that will top Ja'Marr Chase's annual average of $40.25 million, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league.

Steelers CB Cory Trice reflects on struggles vs. Ja'Marr Chase — vows never to repeat them
Steelers CB Cory Trice reflects on struggles vs. Ja'Marr Chase — vows never to repeat them Steelers CB Cory Trice Jr. isn't ready to let his Week 18 performance vs. Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase define who he is. At the conclusion of the 2024 regular season, Trice filled in for veteran CB Donte Jackson, who was absent with a back injury — and Chase quickly took advantage of the third-year CB's inexperience. The Steelers did Trice few favors, as he was practically schemed to fail, but he wasn't making any excuses at OTAs. Courtesy of PennLive's Nick Farabaugh, Trice explained that while some were proud of his performance, he wouldn't repeat the same mistakes again: "I'm used to letting up nothing. What happened there, it will never happen again." The young corner has the luxury of learning under new Steelers CB Darius Slay Jr. in 2025 — but if Trice's number is called in 2025, rest assured he'll be ready to step up to the challenge.

NFL offseason? 'Project: June' keeps NFL news flowing at USA TODAY
MORE: Chiefs never make Super Bowl excuses - a lesson the 49ers must learn But is that really true? There's a phrase that's become one of my favorites: "narrative dominance." It's used a lot in politics, but it applies to this idea about the NFL. The narrative is that you, the NFL fan, ceases caring about the league in the month of June. So let's test that narrative. USA TODAY Sports will publish a story each day of the month for Project: June. We will cover the NFL universe from the lighthearted to the serious. OPINION: Is NFL caving to anti-DEI movement? The optics don't look good. If you wish you could draft your fantasy team now starting with that No. 1 overall selection (pick Ja'Marr Chase first, trust me on this), this series is for you. If you dream of season openers, tune in. If the Eagles' various Super Bowl celebrations dance in your head, over and over, this is your place. There seems to be always an NFL itch, and we will scratch it for you. Or something like that. I once had a conversation with Hall-of-Famer Michael Strahan and he mentioned how important it was to take some time away from football after the season, but by the time the summer came around, he deeply missed it. You may feel the same way. If you do, this will be the place for you in June. All the NFL news on and off the field. Sign up for USA TODAY's 4th and Monday newsletter.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase gets a lofty target goal from Kay Adams
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase gets a lofty target goal from Kay Adams Cincinnati Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase has moved beyond specific stat goals, other than winning a Super Bowl, of course. He's instead turned his attention to other things, such as changes to his leadership style. Chase, after all, arrived and indeed broke Bengals franchise records like he said he wanted to, then one-upped himself last season with the Triple Crown triumph while catching 127 passes for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. But not everyone is willing to let Chase off the hook for on-field goals. Kay Adams, for example, just threw down a lofty one for Chase: 1,800 receiving yards in a season. RELATED: Bengals UDFA is already turning heads at OTAs Adams was pointing out that current odds seem to range around the 1,320-yard mark for Chase in 2025. A quick comparison of Chase's first four weeks of the season last year compared to the rest of the campaign hints that maybe a 1,800-yard season isn't that outlandish. With Chase, at this point, fans can't really put it past him. Either way, the quick look at the topic is worth a watch: RELATED: Cincinnati Bengals players missing OTAs list ahead of training camp
