Going into the second week of training camp, NFL teams are bringing out the pads for more intense practices. As coaches install game plans and schemes, they also want to avoid injuries with the regular season about five weeks away.
While teams ramp up practice sessions, some high-profile players are continuing to work out contract negotiations with their clubs. As noted last week, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson made headlines with his strategy to hold in for a new deal, which means showing up to training camp but skipping certain drills.
Over the weekend, another star wideout signed an extension, which makes him one of several receivers who joined the $20-plus-million (annual) club this offseason.
