The New York Giants are expected to meet with Albert Morris early next week and sign the running back shortly after, according to a report.

There have been questions about the health of Saquon Barkley entering Week 1 of the season.

The Green Bay Packers aren't opposed to making Davante Adams the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, but the two sides disagree on the definition of the term.

Adams and his representatives believe DeAndre Hopkins is currently the highest-paid receiver at $27.25 million per year.

The Packers, however, view Hopkins' deal as closer to $20 million annually. That's because Hopkins' deal with the Arizona Cardinals was an extension to his previous contract. He was on a five-year, $81 million deal. So while the new money -- two years and $54.5 million -- indeed averaged $27.25, there were three years remaining on his previous contract.

"I think there's a little bit with that particular situation, it's how you interpret what the highest receiver in the National Football League is getting paid, you know what I mean?" Brian Gutekunst said.

Aaron Rodgers signed his reworked contract with the Green Bay Packers on Thursday.

Among the concessions in the new contract:

• The 2023 year in his original contract is voided, making 2022 the final year on his contract.

• Forfeiture provisions were removed from the contract, preventing the Packers from pursuing prorated portions of Rodgers' signing bonus.

Rodgers reported to training camp on Tuesday and participated when practice opened Wednesday.

Pete Carroll is hopeful that Jamal Adams will get an extension from the Seattle Seahawks sooner than later.

"The conversations have been ongoing for some time and been very amicable," Carroll said. "He's in a good place. They've worked really hard to this point. I'm very hopeful that it's going to get taken care of here soon, very soon."

Adams reported for training camp Tuesday along with the rest of the team, as expected. He didn't take part Wednesday in the team's first practice.

Aaron Rodgers held a 32-minute press conference in which he went into detail about his tumultuous offseason with the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers said he considered retirement.

"I just want to be involved in conversations that affect my ability to do my job," Rodgers said.

When asked if he's gotten any assurances that it will happen, he said: "I'm not sure ... at this point."

Rodgers talked about players who were not retained such as Charles Woodson and Randall Cobb. Cobb is expected to be traded back to the Packers.

"I wanted to help the organization, maybe learn from the some of the mistakes in the past ... and about the way that some of the outgoing veterans were treated," Rodgers said. "And just the fact that we didn't retain a number of players that I felt like were core players to our foundation, to our locker room. High-character guys."

The Indianapolis Colts have signed Braden Smith to a four-year, $72.4 million extension with $42 million guaranteed.

"We want to take care of our players," general manager Chris Ballard said earlier this week.

Smith was a second round pick in 2018 and moved from guard in college at Auburn to right tackle. 

Xavien Howard reported to training camp with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday despite not receiving a new contract this offseason.

Howard was absent from Miami's entire three-day minicamp in June, skipping the mandatory offseason work and racking up $93,000 in fines because of his displeasure related to his existing contract.

The cornerback's five-year, $75.25 million extension signed in 2019 is scheduled to pay him a guaranteed salary of slightly over $12 million in 2021.

Howard led the league in interceptions with 10 and earned his first All-Pro honor of his career in 2020.

The Washington Football Team has agreed to a three-year contract extension with Logan Thomas, according to a report.

Thomas entered the NFL as a quarterback with the Arizona Cardinals in 2014, but made the move to tight end a few years later. He had 72 catches for 670 yards and six touchdowns for Washington last season.

The New Orleans Saints have reached an agreement on a contract with Chris Hogan.

Hogan, 33, agreed to the deal on Monday, according to a source. He played in the Premier Lacrosse League this offseason, but will now help the Saints fill the void left by the injured Michael Thomas.

The Green Bay Packers are close to an agreement for Aaron Rodgers to play for the team this year and then leave the team in 2022. The 2023 year in Rodgers' deal would be voided with no tags allowed in the future and Green Bay would agree to review his situation at the end of this season.

Rodgers has sought a trade from the Packers this offseason and has considered skipping training camp.

Reports of Rodgers' seeking a trade from the Packers surfaced on the day of the draft but no deal materialized.
