No live contact is permitted, but teams can conduct 7-on-7, 9-on-9, or 11-on-11 live drills. OTAs lead into mandatory minicamp, which is the last offseason event before the preseason begins with training camp in late July or early August.<\/p>\n

That would rank 13th among starting quarterbacks<\/a>, but if you consider Brissett\u2019s total cash amount of $5.44 million, he would rank 26th in the league<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mon, May 18, 2026 at 11:58 AM PDT<\/p>\n Yahoo Sports Staff<\/p>\n Hill\u2019s calling card is speed, and it remains to be seen if he can hit the gears that make him special having just turned 32 and coming off major knee surgery last September. It\u2019s a good bet he signs somewhere; maybe a reunion with the Chiefs<\/a>?<\/p>\n Check out more of the top remaining free agents here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Teddy Ricketson<\/p>\n While teams begin OTAs this week, the NFL owners will meet in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n These meetings typically include league votes and give the owners a chance to meet and discuss league-wide topics.<\/p>\n One of the topics expected to be discussed this week is the league awarding the 2030 Super Bowl to Nashville<\/a>. The Tennessee Titans will be in their new stadium by then, and the league is expected to give them the sport\u2019s biggest game in four years.<\/p>\n Another topic of discussion will be an update from the Chicago Bears owners about the status of a new stadium. They are expected to reiterate that the only viable options for the franchise will be in Arlington Heights, Illinois or in Hammond, Indiana, per ESPN\u2019s Courtney Cronin<\/a>. Either way, outside the city limits of Chicago.<\/p>\n Mon, May 18, 2026 at 9:37 AM PDT<\/p>\n Yahoo Sports Staff<\/p>\n The Pittsburgh Steelers had several shakeups along the offensive line this offseason, having lost starting left guard Isaac Seumalo in free agency and with the status of former first-round pick and starting left tackle Broderick Jones (neck) remaining up in the air.<\/p>\n According to Steelers beat reporter Alan Saunders of Steelers Now, this is a look at Pittsburgh\u2019s initial offensive line configuration at OTAs:<\/p>\n Left tackle \u2014 Troy Fautanu<\/p>\n Left guard \u2014 Mason McCormick<\/p>\n Right guard \u2014 Spencer Anderson<\/p>\n Right tackle \u2014 Dylan Cook<\/p>\n Notably, first-round rookie Max Iheanachor is working behind Dylan Cook at right tackle.<\/p>\n The Athletic\u2019s Mike DeFabo reports<\/a> that Jones was present at OTAs but that he did not work in any team drills during the media\u2019s open period. That news comes following reports that Jones suffered a setback<\/a> in his return from a season-ending neck injury, while the team declined his fifth-year option this offseason<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mon, May 18, 2026 at 9:09 AM PDT<\/p>\n Yahoo Sports Staff<\/p>\n Mon, May 18, 2026 at 9:03 AM PDT<\/p>\n The first eight NFL teams reported to organized team activities on Monday, May 18 \u2014 all of them with a new head coach having been named this offseason.
