Micah Parsons Makes Surprising Training Camp Decision
NFL training camps are starting all across the league, which is spurring action from teams looking to sign players to long-term contract extensions. Meanwhile, Micah Parsons is still waiting to receive an extension from the Dallas Cowboys that makes him the NFL's highest-paid defender. Now that T.J. Watt signed a new extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Parsons is likely looking at an extension that pays an average of over $41 million per season. Though, for now, it appears the Cowboys want Parsons to honor his full rookie contract and play out the season on an expiring deal. Yet, that may not be a problem for Parsons, who, according to NFL expert Jordan Schultz, is planning to report to the Cowboys' training camp even without a new contract signed. 'Cowboys 3x All-Pro Micah Parsons will report to Oxnard, California for training camp despite not having a long-term contract extension with the organization, sources tell me.' Jordan Schultz on Micah Parsons Players often try to play hardball with their teams when entering the final year of their contracts, especially stars whose teams may not be able to afford playing without them. Yet, Parsons seemingly doesn't have any intention of playing for any team other than the Cowboys. Or perhaps he feels the Cowboys will appreciate his dedication to the team and feels like reporting to camp is the perfect way for him to receive the best deal possible.

Laremy Tunsil's replacement could be Houston's biggest bust for the 2025 NFL season
The Houston Texans had an impactful offseason that included a move on from five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil. While Tay Ersery is expected to compete for starting reps on the blindside, the Texans didn't want to pressure a young lineman to have to replace a talent like Tunsil in pass protection, so they added veteranism with former Jacksonville Jaguars starter Cam Robinson. While Robinson wasn't the big name everyone was expecting to come in for Tunsil, he was considered the best tackle on the market in free agency. After starting both the Vikings and Jaguars over the past seven seasons, he brings a leadership presence and experience for a line that struggled to win in pass protection last season while keeping C.J. Stroud upright. The only problem? Robinson was one of the league's worst pass protectors, allowing over six sacks in 2024 between his time in Jacksonville and Minnesota. He struggled in the playoff loss against the Los Angeles Rams and allowed three sacks in the season finale over the Minnesota Vikings. Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox is convinced that Ersery will be starting sooner rather than later once Robinson shows his upside could cost Stroud a season of success. In fact, he predicted that Robinson has the potential to be the biggest bust for Houston this season. "Robinson has always been a serviceable starter when healthy but never a star. He appeared in 17 games last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings and was responsible for 13 penalties and seven sacks allowed, according to Pro Football Focus," Knox wrote. "With a one-year, $12 million contract, Robinson's price point is reasonable. However, he isn't likely to make fans forget about Tunsil—and that's assuming he manages to hold off rookie second-round pick Aireontae Ersery." The skepticism is understandable, especially considering that Sam Darnold's play decreased once Robinson replaced Christian Darrisaw in Minneapolis. He also struggled early in the year to protect Trevor Lawrence at left tackle, eventually becoming a liability for the Jaguars on the blindside that led to his benching. Still, what other options do the Texans have? Ersery is still finding his footing as OTAs and former second-round pick Blake Fisher is fighting for starting spot anywhere on the line. With the addition of new offensive coordinator Nick Caley, perhaps there's some juice added to the playbook that could open up more designs in favor of Robinson starting. Houston pass protecion needs to be better in 2025 and Robinson will no doubt play a key role in just how much success they have. Well, at least for the first several games. If Ersey ends up exceeding expectations in camp, the margin of failure will shrink for Robinson to have a second or even third chance.

Bo Nix got at least one vote as a top-10 quarterback in the NFL
Each offseason, ESPN interviews NFL executives, coaches and scouts to have them rank the top 10 players at 11 different positions. ESPN then compiles the data to release a top-10 ranking for each position, complete with honorable mentions and "also received votes" categories. At quarterback, the top ten ended up being Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels, Matthew Stafford, Justin Herbert, Jared Goff, Jalen Hurts and Baker Mayfield. There were two honorable mentions behind him -- C.J. Stroud and Jordan Love -- plus six other QBs who also received votes. Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was listed in the also received votes category. That means at least one executive, coach or scout told ESPN they believe Nix is a top-ten quarterback in the NFL. Even if it was just one vote, it's impressive that Nix drew that kind of recognition following his rookie season. Here's the full list of top ten QBs, honorable mentions and the QBs who also received votes.
