The offseason stop was one of many for NFL stars around the league hosting football camps during the offseason downtime ahead of training camps.
As noted by WSAZ and others, travel delays moved the start of this particular camp hosted by Higgins back just a few hours before the standard football camp process unfolded with the Bengals star at the center.

Andrew Mukuba shares his gameplan for becoming one of the NFL's top safeties
Andrew Mukuba is already thinking like one of the game's elite players. So, how good is Andrew Mukuba? It is becoming more evident that conversations about the Philadelphia Eagles' safety all lead back to that question. He's a second-round pick, the 64th player taken during the most recent NFL Draft. He's expected to fill the void created by C.J. Gardner-Johnson's departure. Lance Zierlein gave him a grade of 6.20 in his pre-draft profile, meaning he believes Mukuba will eventually become an average starter. 'Average' isn't how many describe his game, though. He may have been taken at the end of Round 2, but some draft pundits gave him late first-round grades. Some have called him undersized. At six feet tall, he stands an inch taller than Gardner-Johnson and two inches taller than Sydney Brown, but he's 20 pounds lighter than both of them. He's a former collegiate teammate of both Will Shipley and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. "You have to be able to do everything – cover in the passing game, support the run, tackle, and you have to know everybody's assignments and where you are supposed to be. It is important to learn the defense, and that is the first priority. You do that, and then your physical ability takes care of itself." Those were Mukuba's words as he spoke with Eagles insider Dave Spadaro about what is required to be a great NFL safety. That sounds about right. Mukuba has proven his mettle collegiately in both the ACC and SEC. He earned ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, Third-Team All-ACC honors, and Freshman All-American honors in 2021. He was named a Third-Team All-SEC honoree in 2024. None of that will help him at football's highest level. The good news, however, is that his mindset will. What does he promise that Birds fans will see in his performance? Eagles fans will undoubtedly love his answer: "There are guys like Budda Baker (Arizona Cardinals) and Brian Branch (Detroit Lions) who are similar in size to me and they have been guys I've kind of patterned myself after. I'm going to be aggressive and smart and play with everything I have, all my heart." That's a great start! "I have a lot of energy and always have had energy, and so for me to go out on the field and have fun, it's kind of like being in the park with your friends playing ball and being physical and helping my team win. That's all that matters – helping the Eagles win. I want to do my part, perfect my role, and enjoy everything about being a Philadelphia Eagle." Forget everything you've heard about his size or his tendency to miss tackles. That's all we had to read. He's going to be fine. Rarely are players polished when they reach the NFL. Most have something they need to work on. It's no different than Drew Mukuba, but everything seen and heard seems to be a step in the right direction. With his mindset, he will be fine. There's no doubt about it.

Eagles' All-Pro RB Saquon Barkley jabs at Commanders and Cowboys for free agency snub
Saquon Barkley wasn't recruited by the Commanders and Cowboys during his free agent process Last offseason, Saquon Barkley joined the Eagles on a three-year deal, ushering in the rebirth of lucrative salaries for running backs around the NFL. Barkley reportedly had interest from several teams, but during DeVonta Smith's Celebrity Softball game over the weekend, the running back told a streamer that neither the Commanders nor the Cowboys attempted to sign him. Barkley referenced the 'Belt to A**' moniker when explaining why he plays so hard against both teams. In the 2024 NFL season, Rico Dowdle was the Dallas Cowboys' leading rusher, accumulating 1,079 rushing yards. He also scored two rushing touchdowns and added 39 receptions for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Jayden Daniels was the leading rusher for the Washington Commanders, accumulating 891 rushing yards on 148 attempts. Barkley went on to rush for 2,005 yards during the regular season, sweeping the Cowboys and winning two of three matchups against the Commanders, including an NFC Championship game win at Lincoln Financial Field.

Few will say anything about the collusion case
It's been six days since Pablo Torre's podcast episode regarding the collusion ruling landed. And very few people in and around the NFL are saying anything about it. The NFL and the NFL Players Association haven't said a word. While there's still a chance either or both will hand-pick a reporter who is otherwise ignoring the case to spoon feed something that will clumsily push back against the bad look that the situation has given to both sides, don't expect either the league or the union to have anything to say about the substance of the issue. Advertisement Those connected to the situation have nothing to say, either. Agent Mark Rodgers, who represents Russell Wilson, and agent Erik Burkhardt, who represents Kyler Murray, declined comment — even though their clients were two of the three quarterbacks on whom the case focused. Other agents have declined to speak, with multiple agents explaining off the record that there's no reason to make an enemy of the NFL or the NFLPA when their main business activities require having a working relationship with both sides. "I've got mouths to feed," one agent said under a grant of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the topic. "These fuckers don't forget things." Players aren't talking either, other than former player and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year winner Chris Long. We've heard that there are Executive Committee members and/or player representatives who aren't under the thumb of current NFLPA management. None of them has said a peep about the current situation, however. Advertisement It's unclear whether the players' silence results from fear of reprisal, or from basic apathy. Only one person, so far, would go on the record. Long-time agent Peter Schaffer provided a statement to PFT. "It's clear the arbitrator confirmed teams colluded against guaranteed money — something we, as agents, have known they have done since the advent of free agency," Schaffer said. "The real question has always been how do we create and force change?" Schaffer wants to spin the situation forward by focusing on the biggest impediment to fully-guaranteed deals: The outdated funding rule that requires a large portion of future guarantees to be put in escrow. Advertisement "For over two decades, the agent community has urged the NFLPA in CBA negotiations to eliminate the NFL's unilaterally imposed guarantee funding rule on guaranteed player contracts — the biggest obstacle to securing more fully-guaranteed contracts," Schaffer said. "Now, with this ruling, we have leverage. It's time to act. Let's go. End the funding rule." The funding rule was adopted to protect the players against potential insolvency. Now that every team is swimming in cash, there's no need for it. But the league won't give it up. Because it's a bargaining chip in negotiations. That makes any effort to end it a potential win for the league. It's also a win for the league that few are saying anything about the NFL being caught colluding. And it's a win, too, for the union that no one is calling for a mass ouster of leadership over the inexplicable failure to use the collusion ruling as a weapon against management. We'll see if the silence continues. Maybe the fact that Schaffer has issued a comment will cause others to throw a little caution to the wind and say what they believe, even if they might face repercussions from the big, bad wolves who are officially being very sheepish right now.
