NFL Today: Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence already working on extension
As one of the best players at his position, the Jaguars have maintained throughout the offseason that they would like to sign long-term QB Trevor Lawrence sooner rather than later, and while at this very moment nothing seems imminent, HC Doug Pederson noted this Monday at a press conference that contractual talks continue between both parties.
“Obviously, the sooner you do it, the issue is behind everyone and we’ll focus on football,” Pederson said. “I know [GM] Trent [Baalke] and the agent [de Lawrence], they have continued to talk, they will talk, and they are working hard and tirelessly. I just have to coach Trevor, coach football, and I hope it happens… and it will,” he said.
Lawrence, the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Jaguars, is entering his third season with Pederson as his head coach, and noted that this time of year is important for the quarterback to build relationships and chemistry with some of his newer teammates on the team, particularly first-round receiver WR Brian Thomas Jr.
“We want to see how well he incorporates some of the young players we have, who we are working with and developing. And obviously Brian is one of them now. I think leadership is part of leading this football team, and really encompassing it at this time of year, I think that will carry over to camp,” Pederson concluded about a Lawrence who last season completed 66% of his passes for 4 thousand 16 yards, 21 TD and 14 INT.

Dalvin Cook, with patience to return to the NFL
RB Dalvin Cook, a 28-year-old veteran, commented in early April that his “skills are still here,” after spending most of the 2023 season on the Jets and Ravens bench. . Despite his words, no team has been sufficiently tempted by those “skills” that he himself says are still present, which is why he remains an unrestricted free agent heading into the 2024 campaign.
However, and although he has not yet reached an agreement with anyone, Cook has indicated that he has been in contact with various teams during this offseason. More precisely, he recently mentioned that he has been “receiving calls” from multiple organizations as he works to ensure he is in the right position to make the most of any opportunity that ends up coming his way.
“I’m really focusing on myself,” Cook said, via Aaron Wilson of CPC. “Getting ready for training camp, getting ready for what’s next. For me, like you said, patience is the key. Right now, the only thing I’m really focusing on is getting into top shape so I can handle the weight come fall.”
Cook did not sign with the Jets until mid-August of last year in what was a forgettable campaign, only accumulating 214 yards on 67 carries with New York. Later, at the beginning of January he signed with the Ravens, and supported them in the postseason with eight carries for 23 yards, and that was it. However, between 2019 and 2022 with the Vikings, in each season he managed to overcome the thousand-yard barrier, so betting on him would not seem like a crazy idea.

“We have already started working,” said Reggie Polk of Polk and Associates Construction, one of the architectural companies involved in the project. “We have many excellent business partners who have already mobilized and are taking action. If you’ve been to the new stadium, you’ll see that we’re already doing a parking demo and having meetings all day, every day, to make sure the teams are coordinating well logistically. And we are communicating that message to the Titans,” he said.
“Progress is moving forward. We already have our completion date in mind. And although we are still working on some design elements, we have a great team there and everything is going very well,” Polk concluded.
Meanwhile, the Titans are rolling out a preview center with a detailed virtual model of the new stadium that will help boost season ticket sales. Additionally, via Jim Wyatt of the team’s website, Tennessee vice president of ticket sales Jim Rice stressed Monday that 40% of all personal seat licenses at the new facilities will cost less than $3,500.

Rashee Rice will participate with the Chiefs at the start of OTAs
WR Rashee Rice’s off-field problems will not prevent the Chiefs’ second-year receiver from participating in Organized Team Activities (OTAs). According to Ian Rapoport of NFL MediaRice reported with Kansas City this Monday morning, breaking any type of speculation.
Controversy has swirled around Rice since he surrendered to authorities in early April on charges including aggravated assault after he and another driver of a speeding sports car allegedly caused a traffic accident involving up to a half-dozen of vehicles on a Dallas highway.
Thus, after the speeding incident, the 24-year-old receiver participated remotely in Phase One of the Chiefs’ voluntary offseason program, but with the start of Organized Team Activities, which the franchise will host from May 20 to 22, May 28 to 30, June 4 to 7, and which are also voluntary, Rice is already at the Kansas City facilities and will join the field practices.
Despite the above, Rice, the Chiefs’ best receiver last season by accumulating 938 yards, 7 TDs and 79 receptions in 16 regular season games in 2023 as a rookie, is subject to the NFL’s personal conduct policy and could eventually face some possible ban from the league.
Finally, it should be noted that the Chiefs will hold their mandatory camp from June 11 to 13.
