It's mandatory minicamp week for 30 NFL teams

NFL teams are in mandatory minicamp this week, with 30 of them concluding their offseason programs. The Bears held their minicamp last week, and the Lions canceled theirs due to an early start for the Hall of Fame game. Players who skip these mandatory sessions face fines totaling $104,768 for the entire minicamp, though these can be waived, unlike the $40,000-per-day fines for missing training camp. Key team updates include: - **Patriots:** Stefon Diggs is participating fully. - **Bills:** James Cook is unhappy with his contract, with no new deal in sight. - **Dolphins:** Jalen Ramsey is excused as trade talks continue. - **Steelers:** Aaron Rodgers is making his team debut and will meet the press. - **Bengals:** Trey Hendrickson is dissatisfied with his contract and might skip practices. - **Browns & Colts:** Decisions loom regarding quarterback reps. - **Cowboys:** Micah Parsons' participation is uncertain amid contract negotiations. - **Commanders & Giants:** Contract and QB clarity issues persist. - **Rams:** Their Maui minicamp decision is a focal point. - Other teams are dealing with various roster and contract dynamics as minicamp discussions unfold.
