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.

Zach Wilson signed his rookie contract with the New York Jets on Thursday.

The first-round pick missed two days of practice as the two sides haggled over technicalities in the contract language.

The quarterback agreed to a four-year, $35.15 million contract, which is fully guaranteed.

It includes a $22.9 million signing bonus and a fifth-year team option, standard for all first-round picks.

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.

Two playoff teams have inquired about the possibility of trading for Xavien Howard, according to a report.

The Miami Dolphins cornerback requested a trade on Tuesday.

The specific teams were not identified in the report but it did note that the two teams aren't alone, citing that "others" have contacted Miami, as well.

Sean Payton has expressed frustration over the fact that Michael Thomas didn't have ankle surgery until June, though he declined to elaborate on why the procedure was delayed.

Thomas, who was plagued by the injury throughout last season, is expected to miss time at the start of this season.

"Well, look, it appears we're gonna have to spend some time without him. It's disappointing," Payton said. "And we'll work through it with the other players that are here. But the surgery took place, and obviously we would've liked that to happen earlier than later. And quite honestly, it should've."

Adam Schefter reported in January that Thomas was expected to undergo surgery to repair the torn deltoid and other injured ligaments in his ankle. It was revealed last week that the surgery didn't occur until last month.

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. 

Lamar Jackson plans to change his jersey number if the Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl.

"If we win the Super Bowl, I'm going to No. 1," Jackson said. "I want the No. 1. That's my first number ever. My dad told me, 'Get No. 1 because that's the best. You're the best.' And it always stuck with me."

For now, Jackson will continue to wear No. 8.

"I want to retire No. 8 and No. 1," Jackson said. "I want to do that here at the Ravens. So, I want to win a Super Bowl with No. 8 on, do as much as I can with No. 8 on, then come back and do the same thing with 1 on."
