What are the top storylines of 2024 NFL training camps?
The performances of the first-round rookie quarterbacks, including Chicago‘s Caleb Williams, Washington’s Jayden Daniels, New England‘s Drake Maye, Minnesota‘s J.J. McCarthy, Atlanta‘s Michael Penix Jr., and Denver‘s Bo Nix will be watched closely.
In terms of contract situations to monitor, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk all could be in line for new deals these next few weeks — or lingering drama if they don’t get them.
As always, there are buzzy QB competitions in store as well, highlighted by Russell Wilson vs. Justin Fields in Pittsburgh. Another to keep an eye on is Gardner Minshew vs. Aidan O’Connell in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Maye, Nix, McCarthy and Penix will all try to push presumed starters as much as possible in their camps, and here’s a wild card: Daniel Jones vs. Drew Lock with the Giants.
