Cardinals | Arizona could sign Greg Little
Free-agent WR Greg Little (Bengals) is expected to sign with the Arizona Cardinals after minicamp. Little would have signed after his tryout but he suffered a hamstring injury.
Broncos | Jordan Taylor likely to go on PUP list
Denver Broncos WR Jordan Taylor (hip) is expected to begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to head coach Vance Joseph.
Footballguys View: Taylor was well behind Emmanuel Sanders, Demaryius Thomas and second rounder Courtland Sutton, and fighting for a roster spot Isaiah McKenzie, Jordan Leslie and others. This setback will make it much harder to stick.

Houston Texans C Martinas Rankin signed his four-year rookie contract Thursday, June 14. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Browns | Ross Martin signed by Browns
Free-agent PK Ross Martin (Jets) signed an undisclosed deal with the Cleveland Browns Thursday, June 14. LB DeMarquis Gates was waived in a corresponding move.
Buccaneers | Ronald Jones inks contract
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones signed his four-year rookie deal Thursday, June 14. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Footballguys View: The second round pick could step right into a significant role, but is that an indicator of production? The Buccaneers offensive line wasn’t great last year and everyone struggled. Jones is the more explosive player in the backfield, but does have some issues in pass protection – which could keep him off the field on some downs. He also has great field vision and speed. And while he didn’t catch much at USC, he showed some playmaking ability on occasion when they asked him to. We think the line is his biggest challenge, and that is what keeps him from being higher than an upside RB4 and definitely makes him a guy to watch this summer.
Chiefs | Kareem Hunt to participate at camp
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (hamstring) will be fine for the start of training camp, according to head coach Andy Reid. He has missed a large portion of the offseason program with a hamstring issue.
Footballguys View: Hunt will undoubtedly be the starter here, but there are questions. Did he improve in pass protection? How healthy is Spencer Ware, who is good in pass protection? How will Pat Mahomes change the offense? While the answers to those questions are still to be written, we feel Hunt’s floor is low-end RB1. That makes him a solid first round choice.
Jets | Josh McCown will start at camp
New York Jets QB Josh McCown will begin training camp as the starting quarterback, according to head coach Todd Bowles. The starter for Week 1, however, is up in the air.
Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes, Sammy Watkins connecting
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and WR Sammy Watkins already appear to have a good rapport. Their connection has been a ‘consistent sight’ throughout the offseason program. WR Chris Conley said Watkins has been picking up the offense quickly and CB Steve Nelson added that Watkins has been putting in more time to work out.
