Denver will hold its annual Alumni Weekend around that Giants game, and Thomas will be officially inducted into the Ring of Fame at halftime of the AFC vs. NFC showdown.
Thomas ranks No. 2 on the team's all-time receiving list for yards (9,055) and touchdowns (60), only trailing Rod Smith (11,389; 68). Thomas, who died of a seizure at age 33 in 2021, was a five-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro and Super Bowl champion. DT was one of the best players in franchise history, and he will now be immortalized among the team's all-time greats.

Jalen Hurts channels his inner Michael Jordan with his training camp arrival
Jalen Hurts is the face of Jordan Brand and arrived at Eagles training camp channeling his inner Michael Jordan It's gotta be the shoe money! That's the famous line from director Spike Lee to Michael Jordan during the Legendary Air Jordan Nike commercial from 1991 starring Michael Jordan and Spike Lee (director of He Got Game and She's Gotta Have It) as Mars Blackmon. Fast forward 34+ years, and Lee could again ask the face of Jordan Brand the same question. There have been many discussions about Jalen Hurts' position in the NFL quarterback rankings. After playing in two of the last three Super Bowls and winning one in February, the Philadelphia star quarterback has dedicated his offseason and summer to learning from past champions like Michael Jordan, Carmelo Anthony, and Derek Jeter, among others. The goal has always been to keep the "main thing, the main thing" while refocusing and adopting a championship mentality that'll allow the Eagles to repeat and be Super Bowl contenders for years to come. That journey to repeat started on Tuesday morning with Hurts and the Eagles arriving at the NovaCare Complex for the start of training camp. After spending time with Jordan, Hurts arrived in a similar look, decked out in Jordan Gear. Over the past three seasons, his 91.5 overall grade ranks fifth among all quarterbacks. Hurts is only the seventh NFL QB to appear in multiple Super Bowls and win a championship in their first five seasons. The other QBs who did so are Troy Aikman, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Ben Roethlisberger, Kurt Warner, and Russell Wilson.

Robert Kraft's son, Josh, leaves Patriots with focus on Boston mayoral race
The Kraft family is focused on more than football. Robert Kraft's son, Josh Kraft, has left the Patriots franchise as he zeroes in on the Boston mayoral race, where early polling shows he's trailing substantially to incumbent Michelle Wu. Josh, 58, is trailing Wu in the polls, 59-29 percent, ahead of this November's election cycle. Advertisement Robert Kraft [right] embraces his son Josh Kraft [left]. MediaNews Group via Getty Images Josh previously held a role with the team as the head of the New England Patriots Foundation, but a recent media guide released by the team points out the changes being made. Josh is one of four brothers in the Kraft family, three of whom have been involved in the operations of the Patriots, with Jonathan Kraft currently serving as team president. Advertisement Daniel Kraft also works within the family business and is the president of The Kraft Group. The Patriots are looking to turn it around after a turbulent run since Tom Brady left the franchise in 2020. New England's 29-56 record is the sixth-worst in the NFL over the past five seasons. There is optimism in Foxborough, though, as second-year QB Drake Maye impressed as a rookie and the team brought back Mike Vrabel to be head coach after Jerod Mayo went 4-13 in his lone season. Advertisement Mayo replaced Bill Belichick after he led the franchise to six Super Bowl wins. Robert Kraft is the Patriots' leader as they look to turn the team around in 2025. AP At one point during the end of the season, Jonathan was seen complaining about Mayo's play-calling. 'The last two years were the worst years of my 31 years of ownership. We have to change that,' Robert Kraft said in June.

Could the Washington Commanders still add a veteran cornerback?
Training camp officially begins on Wednesday, marking the start of a grueling schedule. Most teams have their player personnel largely sorted out, but as we saw with the Washington Commanders signing Von Miller last week, we know that teams aren't quite done moving players around. They don't have to finalize their 53-man roster until the end of August, giving players roughly a month to prove they deserve a spot. Every team needs something, though, despite their efforts to solve problems during the offseason. Most teams are still trying to ensure the right pieces are in the right places. As such, Bleacher Report named one trade that every team should make before the season starts. Washington Commanders: Add a veteran CB This was a need for the Commanders last year, hence the midseason trade for Marshon Lattimore. But he wasn't very reliable in Washington. The only other notable veteran at the position the front office brought in this offseason was Jonathan Jones, who also didn't play particularly well in 2024. Meanwhile, the team has Super Bowl hopes and is looking to take advantage of Jayden Daniels being on a rookie contract. So, shoring up the secondary with a veteran would be in line with how GM Adam Peters has operated over the last two offseasons. Marshon Lattimore was an utter disappointment in 2024, but that doesn't mean he will be again this year. Most don't have a lot of faith in that, and that's okay, but it doesn't mean they're right. Additionally, Kevon Seymour is entering his eighth season in the NFL, Noah Igbinoghene is entering his fifth season, and Bobby Price is entering his sixth season, alongside Lattimore and Jones. They have veterans in the secondary; they just aren't big names or guys who do flashy things. They are depth players, and as long as Lattimore plays like we all know he can, those guys will fill in as needed when Lattimore and second-year star Mike Sainristil need a break. Trading for a veteran cornerback wouldn't hurt anything, but they'd have to find a big name, and it's unlikely that Adam Peters wants to spend the money that would take. Remember, Washington used a second-round pick on Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos, and he impressed them in the spring. But what if another veteran became available and it was too much to pass up? Remember, you can never have too many pass rushers or corners. Another potential option would be to trade with the Cleveland Browns for Denzel Ward, but Peters would have to be willing to give up draft picks and use some cap space. The Browns are in a weird place with Deshaun Watson, so it's not out of the question to make this trade. Plus, Ward is a schematic fit for Dan Quinn's defense. For now, the Commanders will evaluate the players they have in training camp, and then they may decide to make some moves. Maybe. But don't count on Peters adding a big-name cornerback to the mix. There is potential in the room and Washington believes Lattimore will bounce back strong in 2025.
