-- Joseph Fauria Trying to Make a Comeback --
Sun May 28, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
TSN reports free-agent TE Joseph Fauria says that he is attempting an NFL comeback after sitting out last season. "I'm trying my best," said Fauria, 27. "Last year didn't go as planned. I didn't get any tryouts, but I have my head on straight now. I'm in good shape. I'm ready to go. I just want one more chance."
-- Why Andrew Hawkins Accepted the Veteran Minimum --
Sun May 28, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
ESPN reports New England Patriots WR Andrew Hawkins' one-year deal is a minimum salary benefit pact, meaning his base salary will be $900,000, his bonus won't exceed $80,000, and his salary cap charge won't be more than $695,000. That's a great value/insurance policy for the Patriots if something happens with one of their top receivers, or if Hawkins simply performs at a level that warrants a roster spot. Hawkins passed up more lucrative opportunities with a handful of other teams because New England was his No. 1 choice. The chance to win is ultimately what was most important to Hawkins.
-- Dion Lewis Quick; Likely Going Nowhere --
Sun May 28, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
ESPN reports the free-agent signings of RB Mike Gillislee and RB Rex Burkhead have sparked thoughts by some on how it might affect RB Dion Lewis' standing with the New England Patriots. Albeit not in full pads, Lewis' quickness and explosiveness still stood out on the practice field Thursday, as only Gillislee was among the running backs to hit the line of scrimmage with close to the same noticeable burst. Lewis' skill set still has value to the club and he could fall into a WR Danny Amendola-type classification as a player who is carefully managed. Gone are the days when he plays 73 snaps (Sept. 20, 2015 at Buffalo), but as a kickoff returner and reserve running back playing 15-20 snaps per game in hopes of preserving his health, there's still a spot for him on the club.

-- Michael Vick Ready to Retire --
Sat May 27, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
NBC Sports reports free-agent QB Michael Vick says he has talked with the Atlanta Falcons about signing a one-day contract and officially retiring with the team that chose him first overall in the 2001 NFL draft. "Hopefully soon," said Vick. Vick hasn't actually officially retired yet, but he said he has now turned his attention to working with young people. He regularly makes appearances at schools and youth organizations to urge children not to make the kinds of decisions that he made, which landed him in prison. "I think I got my fill," said Vick. "Working with the kids allows me to decompress."
-- Carson Wentz Showing Improvement --
Sat May 27, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
The Philadelphia Daily News reports Eagles QB Carson Wentz is broader in the shoulders. His spirals are tighter - at least they were during practice Tuesday. And when he met with reporters at the NovaCare Complex afterward, he spoke with more authority. Some of the changes are natural. Wentz is a year older, after all, a year removed from entering the Eagles' spring program as the third-string rookie rather than as the starter, which he is indisputably now. He is also coming off his first full offseason, typically the most important for NFL quarterbacks. The additional strength, the better throwing mechanics, and his growing comfort at the podium can at least be attributed to the passage of time. But Wentz isn't one to just sit back and merely accept what often happens organically, which is that he should improve upon his first season. He took advantage of the Eagles' strength and conditioning program, enlisted the help of noted quarterback trainers to fine-tune his delivery, and took the advice of his coaches to rest for an extended period, even though his inclination is to do something, anything, to get better. "I've seen him sort of come in rejuvenated," Eagles HC Doug Pederson said last week. "Last year at this time he had played a bunch of football. He was coming off his world tour. He had just been drafted. Now he's had a chance to just kind of sit back and look at the regular season last year and make the necessary adjustments and corrections and learn from it."

Sat May 27, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
The Kansas City Star reports the Chiefs announced a number of front-office additions and promotions on Friday. Among them was the promotion of Brandt Tilis, who will now be the club's director of football administration. He replaces Trip MacCracken, who was not retained for 2017. Tilis joined the Chiefs in 2010 as a salary cap/contract analyst before he was promoted to the director of salary cap and football operations analytics. The Chiefs also hired Chris Shea as its salary cap and legal executive. Shea, who is in his 19th NFL season, was most recently the director of scouting administration and personnel scout for the Philadelphia Eagles, who did not retain him after the NFL Draft. Shea has also spent time with the Panthers, Jets, Cowboys, Dolphins and the NFL office. There were also a number of personnel staff members who received promotions with the Chiefs. That includes Ryan Poles, who was promoted from the college scouting coordinator to director of college scouting. Southeast scout Ryne Nutt was promoted to the assistant director of college scouting. Dan Zegers, a player personnel assistant, has been promoted to college scouting coordinator, while scouting assistant Jim Noel has been promoted to pro scout. Former communications intern Daniel Ricci has been added as a player personnel assistant. Finally, the Chiefs also made the hiring of Tim Terry official. Terry replaces Will Lewis, who was not retained after the draft, as the club's director of pro personnel.
-- Hau'oli Kikaha Rehab Update --
Sat May 27, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
The Advocate reports almost a year after suffering the third torn ACL of his career, Saints DE Hau'oli Kikaha (torn ACL) is close to getting back to full strength for the New Orleans Saints. Kikaha is participating in part of the organized team activities that began this week, although the third-year defensive end did not participate in full-team sessions. New Orleans wants to make sure he's at full strength when training camp begins. "He's doing really well. He's going through some individual drills, he's taking part in the walk-through," DC Dennis Allen said. "I think the training staff, I think we're going to be smart with him."
-- Gronk a Full-Go Friday; Looks Like Gronk --
Sat May 27, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
The Boston Herald reports Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (back) was full-go in the rain, which speaks volumes in itself. Granted, it's an offseason workout, but there were no kid gloves for the tight end, who underwent back surgery on Dec. 2nd. He looked good reaching to make catches, be it from QB Tom Brady, QB Jimmy Garoppolo or QB Jacoby Brissett. He ran pretty well. He didn't appear hampered in any way, although at one point, he did need to get down and do a plank to apparently stretch his back. For the most part, watching him extend to haul in over-the-shoulder passes from Brady in the end zone, or make a quick cut to break open to catch a pass over the middle, this was Gronk being Gronk - the football version. "He looks like Gronk," said OC Josh McDaniels, providing his assessment of the tight end after seeing him in several OTA sessions. "We haven't got into a big evaluation. He's involved in everything." Unlike past OTAs, he didn't take any drills off. He did everything, and performed well. Gronkowski has been telling people he's felt good during various stops. After missing the latest championship, although he did cheerlead from the sidelines, Gronkowski vowed to be a part of the next one with his teammates.

Everyone is confident in the knee and what it can do and that it's ready to go." Tannehill wore a black brace in practice and said he will continue to wear it throughout the season.

The problem has persisted during the team's current offseason workouts, and it is something that HC Sean McDermott is worried about. "We are concerned with Charles' knee situation," McDermott told reporters Thursday before the Bills took the field for an OTA workout. "It's something we have to manage moving forward in order to have him on the field for us, which is important moving forward. He's a weapon for us." McDermott did say that Clay has taken part in drills, but the team is being cautious about how much work he receives. "He's participated in most all of it," the coach said. "That said, just like with all of our players, we have to put them in position to be successful, Charles no different. So if managing his reps, if that's what we have to do, then we'll continue to do that."

"I'm ready for it," Ajayi said Tuesday during the opening of Miami's organized team activities. "I prepare myself every season to take a huge workload and be able to carry the team, and I think I'm ready for that."

NBC Sports reports the New England Patriots have released WR Devin Street.
-- Brock Osweiler Watch --
Wed May 24, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
The Beacon Journal reports armed with a surplus of salary-cap space, the Cleveland Browns relieved the Houston Texans of the $16 million guaranteed left on QB Brock Osweiler's contract to acquire the pick. The Browns didn't envision Osweiler becoming a factor for them, but they haven't traded or cut him, and now he's heavily involved in an open competition for their starting quarterback job. "My expectation is always to start, but that's not my decision to make," Osweiler said in his first public comments since the trade. "Now, if I came out here and told you guys I wanted to be the backup, I'm in the wrong business. Absolutely I want to play, and I want to help this football team win games. But I know there is a lot of work that goes into that and ultimately I need to earn that on the practice field, and I've got a lot of work ahead of me to do that." Osweiler took repetitions Wednesday as the No. 2 quarterback while QB Cody Kessler worked as the first-team QB. Rookie QB DeShone Kizer and QB Kevin Hogan were third and fourth, respectively, in team drills. Kessler received most of the snaps with the starters, but Osweiler and Kizer rotated in with them, too.

-- Brandon McManus Wants Long-Term Deal --
Wed May 24, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
The Denver Post reports PK Brandon McManus hasn't signed his restricted free-agent tender in hopes of getting a long-term deal with the Broncos. It's not a big issue, but if there's no deal by June 15 then that could change. "There's really no rush for me to sign the tender because it could go through June 15," McManus said. "I'd love to be here as long as I can and be on a long-term deal here that gives me security. I love Denver. I love the fan base here. I would love to be here four more years so why not see what I can do?" McManus has participated in all of the Broncos' offseason workouts. If the Broncos and McManus' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, can't come to a long-term agreement, McManus' only other option would be to sign the tender or not play in 2017. The Broncos could rescind the tender and offer McManus 110 percent of his 2016 salary ($600,000) if he doesn't sign the deal by June 15th. Broncos GM John Elway was direct about McManus' contract after the NFL draft. "It's up there if he wants to come sign it," Elway said pointing to his office. McManus, who wants to be a special teams captain this season, has made 85.5 percent of his field goals over the last two seasons.

Wed May 24, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
ESPN reports Cincinnati Bengals CB Dre Kirkpatrick (hand) has a small fracture on his right hand and expects to be out of practice for 2-3 weeks, he told reporters Tuesday. Kirkpatrick did not say how the injury occurred, only that it was a "freak accident." Bengals HC Marvin Lewis declined to give an update, saying only that Kirkpatrick would return to practice when healthy and that he did not have a timetable. The Bengals are holding voluntary OTAs and players are not required to be at practice until June 13, the start of mandatory mini-camp. Kirkpatrick wasn't in uniform during the Bengals' first practice of OTAs. He stood in the back and watched practice while wearing what appeared to be a soft cast on his right hand/wrist. However, he remained an active participant, standing at the back of the field and running through some of the drills by himself.
-- Mike Williams Still OUT with Back Tightness --
Wed May 24, 2017 --from FFMastermind.com
ESPN reports injured on the first day of rookie mini-camp 12 days ago, Los Angeles Chargers first-round draft pick WR Mike Williams (back) did not practice for a second straight week due to tightness in his back. Chargers HC Anthony Lynn told reporters on Tuesday that he's hopeful the rookie receiver can return to the field next week, but with less than a month left in the team's offseason program, the Clemson product's development is taking a hit. "I'd like to see him out there next week because he's getting behind right now, and we've got to get him back out on the field," Lynn said. "If he wasn't a rookie it would be different. But he has so much to learn, and some of this you can only learn on the field." Lynn said receivers coach Nick Sirianni is helping Williams stay prepared with work in the meeting room, along with keeping him appraised with what's happening on the field during team drills.
