ATN Podcast: Packers stunner, Mina Kimes on Mayfield

Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman has seen both ends of the rookie quarterback spectrum in his young NFL career, and when it comes to J.J. McCarthy he believes Minnesota will have a "great player for a long time."

The premiere episode of "Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants" revealed a connection between letting Saquon Barkley go and giving Daniel Jones a chance to finally prove himself in what amounts to a huge year for the sixth-year quarterback.

It would seem, going based off experience and the free-agent contract he signed, that Gardner Minshew is the favorite to the Raiders' starting quarterback, but a former Las Vegas signal-caller believes Aidan O'Connell shouldn't be sold short.

After having a career season last season, Indianapolis Colts pass rusher Kwity Paye is aiming to have 12-15 sacks in 2024.

Since signing his four-year, $48 million deal with the Packers, Josh Jacobs has only firmed up his belief that he made the right decision as he looks to build his "legacy" and believes he'll do so with the NFL's "next superstar," QB Jordan Love.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen bolstered New York's pass rush this offseason with the acquisition of Brian Burns, and it all began with a seemingly casual conversation with Panthers GM Dan Morgan on the practice field during year's Senior Bowl. 

New England locked down Jahlani Tavai for the long haul. The Patriots and the linebacker agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $15 million with a maximum value of $21 million.

Colts receiver Alec Pierce spent most of his Sundays last season essentially doing wind sprints to nowhere. Entering the 2024 season, Pierce is out to prove he can be more than a deep-threat and clear-out artist.

The Chargers are counting on rookie receiver Ladd McConkey hitting the ground running in Year 1. So far, so good for the second-round pick.

Entering Year 2, Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr.'s goal is to take a giant leap into the upper echelon of OTs. 

This offseason has brought with it a wave of new wide receiver contracts, resetting the top of the market for the position. Hoping to ride that wave is Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill, who said Monday that with the time coming for him to start thinking about his own next deal, he's intrigued to see what this new pay standard means for him.
