Josh Harris, others react to RFK Stadium bill
The Commanders pledged an unprecedented $2.7 billion toward the project, which will include a 65,000-seat stadium that will be used year-round to host various events, such as major sporting events and concerts. The project also features 6,000 housing units, with 1,800 affordable housing units, retail space, and a community benefits agreement worth $50 million or more. The agreement also includes close to $1 billion in public funds, and around $1 billion in tax breaks for the Commanders.
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has been a huge proponent of bringing the NFL franchise back to D.C., and, of course, was thrilled with the latest developments.

Jaguars depth chart: Travis Hunter 1st-team WR, backup CB
As Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter prepared for the NFL draft, he left no ambiguity about his ambitions. He did not want to play on only one side of the ball. He demanded to play defense and offense. As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare for their preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, the team released its first unofficial depth chart that reflects Hunter's wishes. The No. 2 pick out of Colorado is listed as a starting wide receiver (alongside Brian Thomas Jr. and Dyami Brown) and as a backup outside cornerback (along with Jarrian Jones, behind Tyson Campbell). "It's weird, it's probably harder logistically for us as coaches to navigate it and making sure we're making use of all his time," Jaguars coach Liam Coen said at the start of training camp. "I think it doesn't bother him as much. He's pretty unfazed by some of this stuff." After putting up 96 catches, 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns to go along with 11 passes defended and four interceptions at Colorado last year, Hunter opened training camp with more offensive reps as he worked on developing chemistry with starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence. As camp went on, however, Hunter began seeing more action on the defensive side. What's more, he is putting on a juggling act as he bounces between meeting rooms and learns multiple playbooks. That mental side of the game, Hunter said, is the most challenging aspect. "You've got to do different terms each and every day," he said. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Why Jaguars' depth chart reveal was great Travis Hunter fantasy news
The Jacksonville Jaguars currently find themselves in untrodden territory. The team invested quite a bit in moving up to select Travis Hunter at No. 2 in the 2025 NFL draft, and it took the reigning Heisman Trophy winner with the intent to turn him into the NFL's first regular two-way player in more than 60 years. Hunter played most snaps at both receiver and cornerback in college at Colorado, but as of now, it's not exactly clear how the Jaguars intend to use him as a rookie in 2025. However, we may have gotten a bit more clarity as the team released its first depth chart of the season amid training camp. On the depth chart, Hunter is listed as a starting receiver alongside Brian Thomas Jr. and free agent addition Dyami Brown. Meanwhile, he is listed among the second-string cornerbacks, behind starters Tyson Campbell and Jourdan Lewis. That would seemingly indicate that Hunter is going to see the bulk of his snaps on offense, at least to start, and that is certainly a boon for fantasy football managers with Hunter on their team. Hopes are high for the Jaguars' offense in 2025 as the team is now led by Liam Coen, one of the NFL's top offensive coordinators last season. With Coen, a healthy Trevor Lawrence and Thomas, who starred as a rookie last season, this could be a productive unit with Hunter poised to benefit, as well. The only major concern for fantasy managers would be that Hunter's usage on defense could siphon critical snaps away on offense and limit his fantasy production. We'll have to see how Hunter is used when the Jags take the field in preseason for the first time against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, but the team seems to be indicating that fantasy managers can rest easily and most of Hunter's early contributions will be on the offensive side of the ball.

What is the Minnesota Vikings salary cap situation heading into the preseason?
The NFL salary cap is always a flexible number for teams, depending on what they are looking to do and what contracts they have active. For some teams, it is a boogeyman they make real, while others continue to make it a figment of their imagination. In the case of the Vikings, they have a general manager who has done a tremendous job of using the cap to his advantage while building a roster that is on the cusp of a Super Bowl now. Bleacher Report did the work to compile the salary cap situations for all 32 teams, and the Vikings have some surprising flexibility heading into the preseason. They are projected to have $25.7 million in cap space, which is good enough for 16th best in the league. Division rival Packers have $31.3 million, the Lions have $51.4 million, and the Bears have $13.8 million. The team is projected to have a potential cap situation on their hands next offseason, but they will worry about that then—there's plenty of time between now and then to make moves and allow for more flexibility once again.
