Kansas City Chiefs DL Chris Jones has ‘always viewed himself as a $20 million-plus’ player and intends to seek that much in a contract extension, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Jones suggested via social media that he would be willing to hold out much like Le’Veon Bell did in 2018 if Kansas City fails to meet his asking price.

Unrestricted free-agent LB Markus Golden (Giants) has until July 22 – for the first day of NFL training camp, whichever is later – to find a new team or else his only option will be to sign a one-year, $4.125 million deal – the amount of the unrestricted free-agent tender the New York Giants placed on him on May 5 – with the Giants. According to SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano, such a scenario appears likely as there has been ‘no indication’ other teams are pursuing him.

Miami Dolphins DL Davon Godchaux registered 33 of his career-high 75 tackles within two yards of the line of scrimmage in 2019 – the most such stops by an interior defender last season.

Cleveland Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. stressed on Twitter Monday, June 29, he’s committed to playing for the Browns for at least the upcoming 2020 season. ‘U can find me in The LAND homie! We got unfinished business,’ Beckham wrote in a reply to Los Angeles Dodgers P Alex Wood who wrote ‘@obj to the Patriots before the season is done. BANK IT!’

Footballguys View: With the Patriots landing QB Cam Newton, many have speculated they will now try to make a move for Beckham as the two have been working out together this offseason. Beckham had a disappointing season for the Browns in 2019, but so did most of their passing game. With better protection for QB Baker Mayfield we should see him perform more efficiently which will have a trickle down effect to guys like Beckham.

Washington Redskins WR Steven Sims said he has been training this offseason to ‘play maybe 90 plays in a game’ and is eyeing a bigger and more versatile role in the offense. ‘I want to show that I can run routes as well. I’m not just a gadget player. I’m a receiver, and I run routes,’ Sims said.

Footballguys View: We’ll keep an eye on Sims in deep dynasty formats. Undrafted out of Kansas in 2019, Sims flashed for Washington…especially near the end of the season. Over the final four games of his rookie year, Sims snared 20 passes for 230 yards and four touchdowns. Washington added WR Antonio Gandy-Golden and RB/WR Antonio Gibson in the 2020 NFL draft, so we’ll see how Sims responds to more competition in 2020.

Arizona Cardinals WR Jermiah Braswell cleared waivers Tuesday, June 30, and is now officially a free agent.

New England Patriots QB Cam Newton was not guaranteed the starting job, according to a source Monday, June 29. The job will go to the best quarterback in training camp and the competition will include Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer.

Footballguys View: That sounds about right. Newton is the most talented quarterback on the roster, by far, if he’s healthy. Stidham had first-round tools at Auburn but a poor senior season caused him to fall to the fourth round of the 2019 NFL draft. Hoyer is a journeyman veteran with plenty of starting experience but little upside. The Patriots will likely go with Newton as it should be clear he’s the best option in training camp.

Arizona Cardinals G J.R. Sweezy is likely to remain the team’s starter at right guard in 2020, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com.

Free-agent LB Jadeveon Clowney (Seahawks) is ‘still open’ to offers and hopes to sign with a team ‘before the season starts,’ he told Josina Anderson.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jordan Wilkins is ‘not a slam dunk’ to make the team in 2020, according to Kevin Bown of 1075 The Fan. Bowen says Wilkins will need to lock down a presence on special teams to secure a spot on the 53-man roster.
