The end of the NFL’s offseason is near, but teams have one last week of preparation before they head out on summer break.
By the end of Tuesday, all 32 teams will have begun or completed their three-day session of minicamp. While the vast majority of the offseason workouts are voluntary, minicamp is mandatory. Players who don’t attend are subject to fines that could exceed $100,000.

Chase is seemingly likely to be one of the next receivers to get a big payday following Justin Jefferson’s record-setting contract earlier in June. Chase has recorded at least 80 receptions, 1,000 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns in each of his first three seasons. He had 81 receptions for 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2021.
Higgins isn’t expected to attend Bengals minicamp this week, NFL Media reported. Unlike all other players, however, the fifth-year receiver isn’t subjected to being fined for missing minicamp because he technically isn’t under contract.
The Bengals franchise-tagged Higgins earlier this offseason, but he has yet to sign the $21.8 million tender….
