As NFL minicamps commence, 30 teams will be conducting workouts, showcasing the critical opportunities for players to establish themselves amidst contract discussions and system adaptations. Key notes include the uncertainty surrounding running back James Cook and his absence due to contract negotiations, the Miami Dolphins' predicament following the trade block announcement for Jalen Ramsey, and the competitive landscape within the Patriots' wide receiver room, where only a handful will secure roster spots for the new season. This week serves as a pivotal moment for player evaluations and decisions ahead of Training Camp.
Will James Cook make an appearance? The running back has not attended organized team activities (OTAs) as he seeks a contract extension.
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey is publicly on the trade block, but there is no obvious replacement on a team that was looking for a starting cornerback.
There are 12 wide receivers in camp with the Patriots, but likely only six will be on the initial roster.
Mandatory minicamp presents a chance to observe rookies against veterans and see how new systems evolve under different coordinators.
