Free-agent DE Ryan Pickett (Packers) said he expects to sign with a team by the start of training camp. Pickett would like to join a contender.

Footballguys View: Pickett was pretty awful for the Packers last season so to paraphrase one Judge Smails, he may get nothing and like it. If he ends up anywhere we think he’ll be back with his old team for a minimal deal.

Dallas Cowboys DE Demarcus Lawrence is learning from having to practice against pro-bowl OT Tyron Smith. “I feel like it’s helping me,” Lawrence said. “If you’re going against the best, you ain’t got no choice but to pick up your game and become the best. I feel like he’s helping me out a lot, and he’s getting me ready for the season.”

New York Giants TE Adrien Robinson is projected to be the starter, in the opinion of Dan Graziano of ESPN New York. Graziano speculates that Robinson appears to be the leading candidate at this point.

Footballguys View: Of course the real question is whether he will become fantasy relevant like Martellus Bennet was or a whole lot of nothing like last year’s model. We’re optimistic but not *that* optimistic and would only have him as bench depth as a TE3. He has speed and size but will need to show he can do anything with it before we get more excited.

Philadelphia Eagles RB LeSean McCoy fully expects QB Nick Foles to continue succeeding in the team’s offense the way he did last season. ‘Nick, he wants to play, he wants to get better. He’s playing lights out even in camp, but he still wants to be at a higher level,’ McCoy said. ‘He’s at that peak where people know him like, ‘Man, this Foles, is he that good?’ Because you see the stats, you see the numbers. I think this is the year he blows ’em out like, ‘Yeah, I’m Nick Foles. I’m Philadelphia’s quarterback. I’m the guy.’ And this is the year he blows it away.’
