| According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, sent a letter to Nike asking the company to terminate its association with Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who has been linked to alleged dog fighting. Vick has not been charged, but parallel state and federal investigations into dogfighting are ongoing. |
| Several players took the occasion of the final day of organized team activities to switch jerseys. The Daily Southtown reports that Brian Urlacher donned Lance Briggs' jersey, but wouldn't explain if he was trying to make a statement in the absence of Briggs. Devin Hester donned No. 4, the number he wore at the University of Miami, while Ricky Manning Jr. and Charles Tillman swapped jerseys. |
| The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that the Dolphins and Daunte Culpepper will have an arbitration hearing June 29 in hopes of resolving the quarterback's status with the team. The NFL Players Association filed a grievance on Culpepper's behalf, claiming Miami breached the quarterback's contract by not allowing him to participate in team drills. |
| The Boston Herald reports that Brandon Meriweather, sidelined by a hamstring injury, was not on the field during the Patriots' three-day minicamp last week. With Asante Samuel balking at signing his franchise tender and threatening to hold out, Meriweather could join the mix at cornerback. But first he needs to get healthy. |
| Newsday reports that Justin McCareins, who had been linked to trade and release rumors during the offseason, has been impressive on the field for the Jets and appears to be part of the team's plans at third wide receiver. McCareins said that he feels like part of the group. |
| According to the Tampa Tribune, Bucs coach Jon Gruden continues to gush over QB Jeff Garcia, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't mind seeing more of Jake Plummer. The former Denver Broncos starting quarterback missed the first day of the mandatory minicamp and is subject to a fine. The Bucs hope the quarterback they traded a 2008 draft pick for shows up. |
| According to the Nashville Tennessean, the Titans continued contract talks with free-agent running back Chris Brown. General Manager Mike Reinfeldt would like to have a deal completed by the time the team begins its final minicamp. The Titans lost starter Travis Henry in free agency and want a veteran in the mix with second-year pro LenDale White and rookie Chris Henry. |
| The Redskins have exchanged contract proposals with free agent wide receiver Keenan McCardell, according to the Washington Post. McCardell also received a veteran minimum offer from the Texans. McCardell had just 36 catches and started 11 games for the Chargers in 2006, but in 2005 he caught 70 passes for 917 yards and scored nine touchdowns. |
