New England Patriots rookie RB Damien Harris signed a four-year, $3.6 million contract Tuesday, June 4. The deal includes an $886,319 signing bonus. Harris, a third-round pick of the Patriots, was the last member of the team’s rookie class to be signed.

Footballguys View: We love Harris in dynasty formats. He’ll compete for a spot in the pecking order behind starter Sony Michel, although there are some who say he could push for the starting job as a rookie. Harris is a natural runner who is capable of playing all three downs.

Washington Redskins WR Paul Richardson (shoulder) was in full uniform at the team’s minicamp session Tuesday, June 4, but he was limited to individual workouts. The veteran wideout stood to the side during 7-on-7 drills.

New England Patriots LG Joe Thuney has been filling in at left tackle for injured LT Isaiah Wynn (Achilles) at minicamp. He said Tuesday, June 4, he’d be open to playing a little more of the position in 2019. ‘I was open-minded (about playing tackle),’ Thuney said following Tuesday’s practice. ‘It’s whatever the coaches ask of me. I’m grateful to be out there playing and just excited to be on the field.’ Thuney’s started the first 48 games of his career at left guard for the Patriots after being selected in the third round of the 2016 draft.

New York Jets QB Sam Darnold said Tuesday, June 4, it’ll take time to form chemistry with new RB Bell. ‘I don’t think there’s necessarily a certain time period that you can put on it,’ Darnold said. ‘It’s just kind of when we click, we click. … I think, me and (Bell), we get along well. So, that’s kind of the first step in building that relationship. It’s good to kind of go on the same page with him and just see how he kind of runs routes and how he runs out there. I haven’t seen him really run and it was good to kind of see him run some routes and throw the ball to him a little bit.’

Footballguys View: Makes sense, and a good move for the young quarterback. Bell is going to be the focal point of the offense, and Darnold is going to get to make a lot of plays handing off and throwing to him. Darnold added that he wants to get some offensive players together for workouts ahead of training camp later this summer.

Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles) could return sooner than people think, according to head coach Vic Fangio on Tuesday, June 4. Fangio said his prediction wasn’t based on any medical update. The receiver played just the first 12 games of the 2018 season before being placed on injured reserve.

Seattle Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny has drawn raves for his conditioning this offseason, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

Detroit Lions TEs Jesse James (6-foot-7, 261 pounds), T.J. Hockenson (6-foot-5, 251), Michael Roberts (6-foot-5, 265) and Logan Thomas (6-foot-6, 250) all possess the ability to detach from the line of scrimmage and create mismatches, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Birkett also notes he wouldn’t be surprised if the Lions play with three tight ends on the field at times – even outside goal-line or short-yardage situations.

Tennessee Titans WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) appeared to suffer a hamstring injury during practice and left the field after attempting to walk it off. However, he reappeared after practice and ‘seemed to be all right,’ according to ESPN’s Turron Davenport.
