Mandatory minicamps are underway across the NFL, with teams transitioning from voluntary to mandatory off-season work ahead of the 2024 campaign. But just because practices are mandatory doesn’t mean every player shows up. After all, this is the time of year when high-level contract negotiations can really heat up. So here’s a roundup of notable names to participate in or skip this week’s activities:
Missing notable names
CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver skipped the team’s OTAs and is not present for Day 1 of Dallas’ mandatory minicamp, coach Mike McCarthy confirmed Tuesday, as the superstar reportedly seeks a new deal. The three-time Pro Bowler, who led the NFL in catches in 2023, is entering the final year of his rookie contract, set to expire close to $18 million in 2024 under a fifth-year option. He is subject to being fined $16,953 for missing the first day of minicamp, $33,908 on Wednesday and $50,855 if minicamp extends into Thursday. as the Dallas Morning News reports.
New York Jets defensive end Haason Reddick technically won’t face fines until the Jets begin mandatory minicamp later this month, but he has yet to participate in any voluntary workouts. Coach Robert Saleh told reporters this week that he has had no communication with the former Philadelphia Eagles star, who he is signing on a one-year contract after arriving via trade.
Notable names present
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was present at the start of minicamp, despite occasional absences from voluntary practices. The 2023 Pro Bowler, who led the NFL in passing yards, is entering the final year of his rookie contract, due to be worth more than $23 million in 2024 under a fifth-year option.
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey attended the start of minicamp despite missing voluntary workouts earlier this offseason. The 2023 Offensive Player of the Year is the NFL’s highest-paid running back signed through 2025, but he could be looking for a raise.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill joined Tagovailoa as a minicamp participant, one day after his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, hinted that the eight-time Pro Bowler is looking for a raise. Hill just signed a four-year, $120 million contract with Miami in 2022, but the receiver market has changed drastically since then.
Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons attended the start of training camp amid speculation that he might hold out in an effort to land a long-term contract. The three-time Pro Bowl pass rusher is signed through 2025, due just $5.4 million in 2024, but is also eligible for a new deal.
