'Difference Vibe' At Jets Rookie Camp With New Star
With rookie mini-camp now underway, the coaching staff is getting their first look at players in the classroom and on the field as they look to get them up to speed on how Glenn wants both sides of the ball to play.

All eyes were on first-round pick Armand Membou, who has been slated to play right tackle with the offensive line seen as one of the better units in football with his addition.
For ESPN's Rich Cimini, there is a whole different feel to Jets camp this offseason, with Membou in particular catching the eye.
"Definitely a different vibe under Aaron Glenn than the previous staff," Cimini wrote. "Practices were more intense, and everyone participated, including draft picks. Previously, the draft picks were held out to prevent injuries.
"Armand Membou (first round) took reps at RT. The first thing you notice is his quick feet. He moves like a big LB. Glenn: "He's nasty, man." With all linemen, you need to see them in pads before you break out the anointing oils (Parcells-ism)."

So Membou has made a good first impression under Glenn, and yes, it is only early, but that is a good sign.

When a team uses a first-round pick on a player, that comes with certain expectations, and it's clear Armand has met them, at least in the early days.
It will be an interesting watch as the offseason goes on and the veterans mix in as we get to see Glenn's vision for his team come to light as he looks to turn this embattled ship around.
And having a "different vibe" is a good way to start.

New York Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 4
The New York Giants battled poor air quality and overcast skies on Sunday morning on Day 4 of their 2025 training camp. Regardless, they held practice outdoors. Here are some takeaways from Sunday's workout. Wilson is opening up the offense The Giants have been one of the NFL's least potent offenses the past two seasons. They signed veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, the NFL's most proficient deep thrower last year, to get their passing game back on track. It looks as if he's doing that after just one week. Wilson is going up top to all of his receivers these days, and his "moonball" has never looked better. "He looks 25 again" Not to make this all about Wilson, but he appears to be just what this sagging Giants offense needs. Not only is he reenergizing the passing game, but the 36-year-old is making plays with his legs, too. Holland the pirate Wilson didn't have his way with the Giants' secondary all day. They got their shots in as well. On this play, slot corner Dru Phillips deflects a Wilson pass into the hands of safety Jevon Holland, who returns it for a touchdown. The Giants' goal on defense this year is to focus on ball-hawking. So far, so good. Skattebo is gaining in popularity Looking for a player to root for this season? Look no further than rookie running back Cam Skattebo. He is a high-energy player who is already making his mark with the Giants as both a rusher and a receiver. The fans in attendance at camp are already taking to him. Abdul Carter is a menace The first full padded practice isn't until Monday, so we won't know exactly how good rookie linebacker Abdul Carter is. So far, he's been blowing by everyone. If he continues to do that when the hitting starts, the Giants have a monster in their midst. Dart's best day yet The Giants' other first-round pick, quarterback Jaxson Dart, is also heating up. On Sunday, he looked comfortable and in charge, hitting on several deep throws. This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 4

Cowboys sign tight end Jake Ferguson to a 4-year, $52 million extension
OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys signed tight end Jake Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million extension Sunday. The deal includes a $12 million signing bonus. A fourth-round pick in 2022, Ferguson is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He had 59 catches for 494 yards but did not have a touchdown reception last season. The previous year, he posted career highs with 71 catches for 761 yards and five TDs. Ferguson dealt with knee and concussion issues last year but still started 14 games. This deal comes as two-time All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons remains in negotiations for his own extension, entering the final season of his rookie deal. Parsons said recently he had not seen much progress in those talks. ___ AP NFL:

5 Bruins Who Could Thrive Playing For Marco Sturm
After a long head coaching search this off-season, the Boston Bruins officially named Marco Sturm their new bench boss on June 5. Sturm had been connected to Boston's head coaching job for several weeks before landing it, so it was not necessarily surprising to see the former Bruin hired for the role. However, it also makes a lot of sense that he is the Bruins' new head coach.
