Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
I don’t know how it happened, but we’ve finally reached the final week of mandatory minicamp. After this week, there won’t be anymore NFL practices held until each team starts training camp in July.
That means you better soak up all the NFL news we have today, because we’ll be hitting the DEAD part of the NFL offseason by Friday. After that, there will be nothing on the NFL calendar until the franchise tag deadline date of July 15. (That’s the last day that a franchise-tagged player can sign a long-term deal. If it doesn’t happen by then, that means they’ll be playing the 2024 season on the tag.)
Alright, now that we’ve got that depressing news out of the way, let’s get to the rundown.
As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. Actually, you don’t even have to tell all of your friends; just tell two of your friends and I’ll be happy. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here.

Allen is coming off a season which he averaged a career high in receiving yards per game (95.6) and has seven straight seasons with 70+ receiving yards per game. Having a receiver like Allen is exactly what Williams needs to have trust in getting rid of the football in Year 1.”
- Eagles: Hired Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator. “The Eagles had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last season, leading to a change in defensive coordinator immediately after the year ended. They had Fangio fall into their lap. … The Eagles defense was 30th in points allowed…
