Matiscik, 29, is signing a two-year extension worth $3.8 million in new money, according to the report. His previous contract, signed in April 2022, was four years for $5.07 million.

Matiscik made the Pro Bowl in each of the past three seasons and was an All-Pro first-team pick in 2023 and 2025 and a second-team choice in 2024.

He joined the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent out of Baylor in 2020 and has since played in all 101 regular-season games and three postseason games.

The outside linebacker signed a one-year free agent deal in March with the Philadelphia Eagles, who put him on the reserve/retired list on Tuesday.

The Buccaneers selected the Washington product with the No. 32 overall pick in that draft. He spent his first four seasons with Tampa Bay, appearing in 66 games (45 starts).

Tryon-Shoyinka split his time between the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears in 2025.

Should he decide against playing again, his career record will include 160 tackles, 15 sacks, 37 quarterback hits, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 82 games.

The Eagles filled his roster spot on Tuesday by signing free agent AJ Epenesa, a second-round pick of the Buffalo Bills out of Iowa in 2020.

Epenesa, 27, played in 91 games (19 starts) for the Bills. He had 135 tackles, 24 sacks, 53 QB hits, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He has four interceptions, returning one 32 yards for a touchdown in 2023.

"Before I get into the practice -- relative to Jonathon Cooper, we've excused him from this minicamp," Payton told reporters. "He's taking this time; obviously, he's got to work on himself, and the club is very much in tune to the league office, local authorities here and we've had several meetings.

"Clearly, from an ownership standpoint, head coach, organizationally, there's a bar we have and an expectation that we have that's very high. We'll consider that as we continue to gather the information. That's all I can really tell you, and I think it will take a little bit of time, but we're continuing to go through that process, and we take it very seriously."

Cooper initially was arrested and jailed in Douglas County (Colo.) early on June 4 on misdemeanor domestic violence charges before being released later that morning. A felony charge for second-degree assault by strangulation and an additional misdemeanor charge of third-degree assault stemming from that incident were announced in court on June 10, according to ESPN, citing court records.

On June 11, he was charged with harassment due to repeated phone calls and violating a protection order. He was held overnight at the Douglas County Jail before a scheduled court hearing.

Payton would not comment further when asked about Cooper by a pair of reporters. He told the media that the NFL and local authorities are handling the investigation.

A hearing for Cooper's original arrest is set for July 6, with another on July 14 for his latest arrest. A trial is scheduled to begin July 22, just before the Broncos begin training camp.

Cooper, 28, has started every game in each of the past three seasons for Denver and has played in 81 games (65 starts) since the Broncos drafted him in the seventh round in 2021.

Cooper recorded eight sacks, 50 tackles and 16 quarterback hits last season. He has 31.5 sacks, 63 QB hits, 266 tackles, three fumble recoveries (one for a touchdown), two forced fumbles and one interception.

He signed a four-year, $60 million extension in November 2024.

Jordan signed a one-year deal to return to the Saints for the 2026 season, his 16th in the league, all with New Orleans.

"Year 16. How many more years you want me to play?" Jordan said Tuesday. "I definitely am going to take to this like every game is my last to ever play.

"I'm (going to) treat it like it's final season with intention because I believe between God and my wife that's the only two people that can get me back through."

There was a time in the spring when it appeared Jordan was done with football, at least with the Saints. He said his team-friendly contract, modified to help the team clear cap space before the 2025 league year began, was not reflective of his commitment and production with the Saints.

Jordan, who turns 37 on July 10, has contemplated retirement at the end of the past several seasons but continued to find his way back to the field, and then perform when he gets there.

Jordan had 10.5 sacks last season and is 17th on the NFL's all-time sacks list with 132. He became the franchise leader in sacks in 2025.

He was drafted in the first round in the 2011 draft (24th overall) and has been selected to the Pro Bowl eight times.

Pickens did not participate in team drills on Tuesday, the first day of mandatory minicamp.

The decision was precautionary, as the Cowboys did not want to risk a soft tissue injury for Pickens.

"Fired up to have him back. He's fired up to be here," Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said. "He'll do all the mock, he'll do all the individual (drills). Just let him watch, and he'll be Coach Pickens today."

Pickens, 25, signed the franchise tag on April 29, guaranteeing him $27.3 million for the upcoming season. However, talks about a long-term contract were put on hold earlier this offseason.

Pickens earned his first Pro Bowl in his first season in Dallas in 2025, making 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round in 2022 and played three seasons there before being traded to the Cowboys during the 2025 offseason.

New Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley hired Pace this week as a football adviser, according to the report.

Pace, 49, was the GM for the Bears from 2015-21 before spending the past four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. He was the vice president of football operations and player personnel for Atlanta from 2024-25nolan

Pace will serve as a "GM-level sounding board" for Teasley, per ESPN. Teasley, 42, was hired earlier this month after 14 years with the Seattle Seahawks. Teasley spent the past three seasons as the assistant GM for the reigning Super Bowl champions.

Television cameras caught Rice running away from reporters after he departed the Dallas County Jail. He did not respond to any questions.

Rice, 26, was jailed on May 19 after testing positive for THC, according to court documents. That violated his probation for his role in a 2024 street-racing crash that left several people injured in Dallas.

He pleaded guilty last July to two third-degree felonies and was sentenced to five years of probation and deferred adjudication on a 30-day jail sentence.

Rice reportedly spent part of his time behind bars rehabbing his right knee following a cleanup procedure last month.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said team trainer Rick Burkholder stayed in contact with Rice during his incarceration. Last week, Reid said Rice should be ready for the start of training camp in late July.

"He gets out this next week, so we'll see where it goes from there," Reid told reporters last Thursday. "He'll be back up here working."

The NFL suspended Rice for six games to start the 2025 season for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

Rice caught 53 passes for 571 yards and five touchdowns in eight games last season. A second-round pick by the Chiefs in 2023, Rice has 156 receptions for 1,797 yards and 14 scores in 28 career games. He is entering the last year of his rookie contract.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski shared the news Tuesday, confirming earlier reports that Pearce was back with the team for the camp that runs through Thursday.

Pearce, 22, was not with the team for voluntary workouts in the spring following felony charges stemming from a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson on Feb. 7.

Stefanski said that Pearce, a first-round pick in 2025 who led the Falcons in sacks (10.5) and quarterback hits (16) as a rookie, will still benefit from being with the team even as they are waiting to find out what punishment, if any, he could receive from the NFL.

ESPN obtained a statement from NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy on Monday which said Pearce's situation is still being reviewed under the league's personal conduct policy.

"I think throughout every situation you take in all the information available to you," Stefanski said. "Obviously, this being our mandatory portion of our program, he will do work in the weight room. He'll do individual (drills) out there. He's not going to do team settings, team period type stuff yet. I just feel like with him not being here for the offseason program to date, I don't think it's fair to put him in those types of drills. But he'll be out there."

Pearce avoided trial in Florida on three felony charges by entering into a one-year diversion program. Satisfactory completion under a judge's supervision would allow him to petition to have the charges dropped.

No cause of death has been released. As part of their investigation, attorneys hired by Smith's family are looking into chronic traumatic encephalopathy as a contributing factor.

The degenerative brain disease has been found in athletes from contact sports and others exposed to repetitive head trauma, and it has been linked to depression and violent mood swings. CTE can only be diagnosed posthumously.

Smith, a 2011 first-round draft pick by the San Francisco 49ers and a 2012 All-Pro, sustained several concussions over the course of his six-year NFL career, according to his family. His once-promising career was derailed by numerous off-field arrests and league suspensions.

"As with anyone who dies so suddenly at such a young age, we understand that there is a great deal of interest in and speculation about Aldon Smith's passing and we intend to get to the bottom of it," attorneys Harry Daniels, Bakari Sellers and Wayne Kendall said Tuesday in a statement. "To that end, we have taken a number of steps including sending his brain to Boston where medical experts will examine it for CTE as well as other damage caused by years of concussions and additional trauma.

"In the meantime, we simply ask you to keep Aldon's family in our prayers and respect their privacy as they struggle to come to grips with this terrible loss."

Smith played his first four seasons for the 49ers and totaled 152 tackles, 44 sacks, 81 quarterback hits and five forced fumbles in 50 regular-season games (30 starts). He added another 20 tackles and 5.5 sacks in eight playoff games (six starts) for San Francisco. His 19.5 sacks in 2012 set a franchise single-season mark.

Smith was suspended nine games in 2014 for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. The 49ers released him in August 2015 after a DUI arrest.

He was arrested 10 times in nine years for a series of incidents, per an ESPN report on Saturday, including an arrest for three felony charges of possessing illegal assault weapons in October 2013.

Smith played nine games (seven starts) for the Oakland Raiders in 2015 before the league suspended him indefinitely for another violation of its substance abuse policy. After missing the entire 2016 and 2017 campaigns, the Raiders released him in March 2018 after an arrest for domestic violence.

The NFL suspended him in April 2020 when he signed with the Dallas Cowboys and he was reinstated from the suspension that May. He played 16 games (all starts) for the Cowboys in 2020.

His career totals were 228 tackles, 52.5 sacks, one interception, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, one safety and 103 QB hits in 75 regular-season games (53 starts).

The 22-year-old pass rusher was not with the team for voluntary workouts in the spring due to off-field issues.

The Falcons are holding their minicamp Tuesday-Thursday this week, the final formal team gathering before the first training camp under head coach Kevin Stefanski opens next month.

Pearce Jr. entered a pretrial intervention program following felony charges stemming from a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson. Before the trial began on three felony charges against Pearce for the Feb. 7 incident in Miami, he agreed to terms of a diversion program in May.

The court-ordered program spans one year and satisfactory completion under a judge's supervision would allow Pearce Jr. to petition to be cleared of all charges.

Pearce Jr. led the Falcons with 10.5 sacks and 16 quarterback hits. Atlanta traded up in the 2025 first round, parting with a first-rounder in 2026, to select Pearce 26th overall.
