Bears S Jaquan Brisker hasn't considered retirement despite concussion history
He also does not plan to change his playing style.
'No, I'm not,' Brisker, 26, said Wednesday, via 670 The Score. 'I'm not. I'm good. I'm past that point. I'm really moving on. I'm just focused on playing ball. I'm going to continue to play the same way.'
Brisker's most recent head injury occurred Oct. 6 against the Panthers. He did not play again, missing the final 12 games.
He said he was feeling 'off' with dizziness and vertigo while in concussion protocol. So, the Bears sent him to the University of Pittsburgh to see a specialist, who diagnosed Brisker with a vestibular concussion.
Brisker underwent physical therapy to re-train his nervous system.
'It was hard being away from football,' Brisker said. 'Especially week to week, it was kind of being sad and depressing, things like that. But I got over it. It's time to move on. I'm back now.'
Brisker, a second-round pick of the Bears in 2022, has appeared in 35 games in his three seasons. He is entering the final year of his rookie contract.

Former Patriots captain remains unsigned after surprising release
One of the biggest offseason mysteries has been the lack of clarification on the future of former New England Patriots captain Ja'Whaun Bentley, who was released by the team back in March. The arrival of newly-hired head coach Mike Vrabel came with sweeping changes for a team that still felt deeply rooted in the old Bill Belichick ways of doing things. Even Jerod Mayo's one-and-done run as coach felt like a chip off the old block given how closely he worked with the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach before getting promoted as his replacement. Players like Bentley, Jonathan Jones, David Andrews, Joe Cardona and Deatrich Wise Jr. were the last remaining remnants of the old guard that Vrabel was clearly looking to move away from. Andrews decided to retire from football, but Jones, Cardona and Wise all found jobs elsewhere in the NFL, while Bentley remains the lone unsigned free agent. Bentley suffered a season-ending torn pectoral muscle in Week 2 of the 2024 season. Unless he's run into some complications, one would think he'd be 100 percent and ready to go at this point. Bentley might not have been a scheme fit for Vrabel's vision in New England, but he is still one of the more talented linebackers in the league. If he's ready to go, surely, someone will come knocking. With that said, Bentley might simply be playing the long game and waiting for the best opportunity to open up. The season hasn't started yet, and teams will still be looking to sign players throughout training camp. As a free agent, Bentley will be in a position to pick the best possible opportunity for himself and his family. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

2026 draft scouting first look: Miami QB Carson Beck
Carson Beck entered the 2024 college football season as the presumptive No. 1 quarterback prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. While Beck had a mighty successful season in leading Georgia to an 11-3 record and the College Football Playoff, his performance, when viewed through NFL eyes, wasn't as sharp as his prior time with the Bulldogs. After briefly declaring for the last draft, Beck opted to transfer to Miami. It's a chance at a prospect revitalization with Beck taking over for Hurricanes QB Cam Ward, who emerged as the No. 1 overall pick after one year in Miami. Beck has some work to do to get into that conversation, but there is still a lot to like about his pro-style game and potential. How Beck translates to Miami's offense remains to be seen. He's not Ward, who proved more patient and less mistake-prone in 2024 than Beck did. A quick refresh on Beck's performances against Alabama, Texas (the first meeting) and Ole Miss spotlights exactly where Beck can help himself regain first-round status for the 2026 NFL Draft. Before that comes, however, he'll need to show he's fully recovered from UCL surgery on his throwing elbow. Beck does still offer quite a bit of potential as a sort of high-end game manager, which isn't nearly the disparaging comment it's often interpreted to be. When Beck is patient, seeing the defense well (both pre- and post-snap) and confident in both his arm and the players around him, the 6-4, 220-pounder is a very good quarterback. Scouting first look: Caleb Downs He's got a good arm, not elite but certainly not lacking in zip. Beck can hit the wide sideline throws and rifle the ball into shrinking windows when he wants to. The throwing motion is fluid and easy, with consistent mechanics and a strong lower-body base. The feet and hips don't appear to engage as fluidly when he's pressured or on the move, but that's something that can be coached up. Beck's ability to handle pressure, both from the defense and from the weight of leading his own team, was not nearly as sharp in 2024 as they were in Georgia's national championship run a year earlier. Throwing to a lesser receiving corps, Beck appeared to try and get too perfect with his throws at times. The Bulldogs receivers weren't reliable and that looked like it weighed on Beck. How quickly Beck can develop chemistry and trust with his new Hurricanes mates should be a big key in his evaluation. It's the more complex defensive pressures and more exotic and deceptive coverages that really tripped up Beck in big games. Even in the upset win over Texas in October, Beck threw interceptions on Georgia's second and third offensive drives and struggled all day with now-NFL DBs Andrew Mukuba and Jahdae Barron not sticking to the film script Beck expected. Handling the added degree of difficulty from interior pressure that forces Beck to move off his desired throw point, and doing that while also more adeptly processing the back-end variations. Beck isn't really a runner, but like Ward a year ago, he's not stiff or reluctant to use his legs to gain a few yards when given the opportunity. Pocket mobility is a little better than advertised, though Beck could anticipate his escape routes a little better. That's true of most "game manager" quarterbacks, which again is not a pejorative in Beck's case. When he got away from being in calm control of the offense is when he struggled the most, a la recent draftees Bo Nix or Hendon Hooker. There's a lot for Beck to prove in 2025, but the capability for him to rise back up into prominent draft consideration is certainly there. It's going to take some work, however.

DeMaurice Smith slams Roger Goodell, Jerry Jones, Aaron Rodgers in new book
DeMaurice "De" Smith hasn't served as the NFL Players Association's executive director for more than two years. But there's clearly no love lost between him and some of the NFL's most important figures. According to Awful Announcing, Smith plans to publish his new book, "Turf Wars," in early August. In it, he slams NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones, former NFL general counsel Jeff Pash and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Smith calls Goodell "a cold, dark void" who "was in the employ of madmen." Jones is characterized as stingy despite his estimated net worth extending into the tens of billions in recent years. Smith writes, "If Jerry Jones saw a dollar bill on the ground, I truly believe he'd stop and pick it up." NFL COLLUSION: In stunning ruling, arbitrator finds NFL encouraged collusion Jones is one of the main names called out in the book, though Smith doesn't let the rest of owners off the hook either. Awful Announcing's report on the early copy of "Turf Wars" includes that its author calls the overall group of NFL owners "a cabal of greedy billionaires." Notably, and despite the general characterization of NFL owners, Patriots owner Robert Kraft receives a nod in the acknowledgements section of Smith's book, according to Awful Announcing. The worst of all top NFL officials, according to Smith, is Pash, who retired in 2024 after 40 years of working with the league. Smith calls Pash "definitely the most unscrupulous. In a corporation filled with ruthless people, Pash has everyone else beat." AARON RODGERS: Steelers QB hosts DK Metcalf, other teammates for Malibu workout Smith didn't stop at calling out NFL executives, either. Awful Announcing reported that the former head of the NFLPA called Rodgers "the god of Cheesehead Nation" and "isolated and dismissive." Writes Smith: "He sat in the back row of the meeting room, issuing loud sighs before standing for a dramatic exit. An incredible quarterback, to be sure, but an even more impressive antagonist." That wasn't all. "In August 2021, my phone chirped with a text from Aaron Rodgers," Smith writes. "'Can you call me?' it read. Could I not run into traffic instead?" Smith's criticism of players didn't stop with Rodgers. Also on the chopping block is Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, who Smith calls out for criticizing players that kneeled during the national anthem because it "may be hurting the game and having an effect on revenue." NFL 2025: Predicting the 4 most explosive offensive players in the league Smith served as the NFLPA's executive director from 2009 until 2023. During his tenure, he dealt with the 2011 NFL lockout amid new contract bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations and the "Deflategate" incident from the 2014 AFC championship game. Smith also was the man who filed the initial complaint with arbitrator Christopher Droney that accused NFL owners of collusion. Droney ultimately dismissed the case, though not before noting in a 61-page document that the NFL Management Council "encouraged 32 member Clubs of the NFL to reduce guarantees in future contracts with players at the March 2022 annual meeting." The report ultimately found that NFL owners had not been engaging in collusive conduct, but the document remained under wraps until Pablo Torre unveiled it on his podcast, "Pablo Torre Finds Out" late last month.
