AFC Notes: Tyreek Hill, Haason Reddick, Dolphins, Jets, Patriots

Dolphins

  • Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill on QB Tua Tagovailoaโ€˜s contract situation: โ€œTua is very competitive. He doesnโ€™t like to fall too far behind. He understands that we have a really good team. He doesnโ€™t want to miss this window. We have a great offense, defense is looking really good, so I believe heโ€™s going to practice.โ€ (Cameron Wolfe)
  • Hill adds Tagovailoa is in โ€œgreat spiritsโ€ and he believes he will practice at the start of camp because of his competitiveness: โ€œHeโ€™s very excited to be back in the building with the rest of the guysโ€ฆ still going through his business here even without a contract.โ€ (Wolfe)
  • Although he is seeking an extension, Hill told his agent Drew Rosenhaus โ€œdo not get me traded.โ€ (Adam Beasley)
  • Miami S Jordan Poyer says he is currently the healthiest heโ€™s felt in a few years and he wasnโ€™t healthy last season. (Wolfe)

Jets

  • According to NFL Networkโ€™s Ian Rapoport, a โ€œfull-blown extensionโ€ for Jets DE Haason Reddick is unlikely but an adjustment to the final year of his current deal โ€œwould likelyโ€ result in Reddick showing up. 
  • Per Brian Costello of the New York Post, the Jets offered Reddick an extension before the trade and they expected negotiations to continue as he participated in spring workouts. 
  • Costello adds the Jets are open to a short-term solution but Reddick is looking for a long-term deal. New York isnโ€™t interested in negotiations with a player who is holding out. 
  • Connor Hughes reports the Jets told Reddick he would need to perform before giving him more than $25 million annually, and they would adjust his current deal in the meantime.
  • Reddick let the team know he was on board for this and would show up to off-season workouts and training camp and then skipped everything. (Hughes)
  • New York WR Garrett Wilson discussed his expectations for himself: โ€œI really just want to be part of a team thatโ€™s great and reaches its full potential. The last two years have been what theyโ€™ve been and Iโ€™m excited for another opportunity to prove myself to the world.โ€ (Zack Rosenblatt)
  • Wilson touched on the huge contracts handed out to other receivers recently: โ€œI have an opportunity to go join an elite group of guysโ€ฆ But I have to go do it.โ€ (Hughes)

Patriots

  • Patriots HC Jerod Mayo on the state of the QB room: โ€œComing out of spring I think itโ€™s clear Jacoby [Brissett] is the most pro-ready guy we have.โ€ (Jonathan Jones)
  • Mayo continued: โ€œI donโ€™t think thereโ€™s any doubt, Jacoby (Brissett) is the starting quarterback at this point in time.โ€ (Doug Kyed)
  • Mayo also commented on DT Davon Godchaux and DE Matt Judon, who didnโ€™t report to camp as they look for new deals: โ€œThe relationship is still goodโ€ฆ Those are valuable pieces for our organization. Theyโ€™ve done a lot of good for us.โ€ (Mark Daniels)
  • Regarding OL Michael Onwenu, Mayo isnโ€™t sure where he will start the season: โ€œWeโ€™re going to put the best five players out there on the offensive line. If that means (Mike) has to play guard or tackle, I donโ€™t know.โ€ (Daniels)
  • Mayo responded to a question about the chances of first-round QB Drake Maye winning the starting job: โ€œIf he comes out here and lights it up, it goes back to quality of reps, it could absolutely happen.โ€ (Daniels)
