- Former Browns QB Kenny Pickett ‘begged’ for Cleveland trade (Jared Mueller) – “Last year, former first-round pick Kenny Pickett was one of many quarterbacks attempting to solve Cleveland’s longstanding issue.

- 2025 draft class must take next step after strong rookie year (Browns Zone) – “For the Cleveland Browns to take the step they anticipate this season, the group led by linebacker Carson Schwesinger will have to be even better in Year 2.

- After 47 years with the Vikings, an equipment manager gets his Hall of Fame moment (The Athletic) – “He might not like this story. Not because it’s wrong or rude or negative, but because it’s about him. For more than four decades, Dennis Ryan mostly escaped the headlines. He did what he was determined to do: remain unheralded, contribute in a way where you’d have to know to really know. Ryan did his job and left the Minnesota Vikings’ facility later than anyone else without extra praise or prestige.”
- Lamar Jackson and the other side of a revolution (andscape.com) – Baltimore mayor Brandon Scott won’t be donning a helmet and pads when the Ravens open training camp today. Yet, as the city’s point of contact — a young Black man, at that — for one of America’s most beautiful and often misunderstood cities, calling the right play at the right time is critical. Decisions now impact history.“
