&lt;p&gt;Head Coach Mike Macdonald set a firm, no-nonsense tone regarding player accountability, bluntly stating that it is tackle &amp;ldquo;Josh&amp;rsquo;s&amp;rdquo; own responsibility to get his body ready to practice and compete. This candid moment signals a stark departure from typical injury coach-speak, establishing strict player expectations ahead of training camp.&lt;/p&gt;

Macdonald was straightforward and insightful during his minicamp presser, mixing scheme hints with sharp accountability moments. He noted that offensive coordinator Brian is currently in a highly detail-oriented installation phase, describing the current scheme as &amp;ldquo;this year&amp;rsquo;s version of last year&amp;rsquo;s offense&amp;rdquo; rather than something entirely new. Macdonald heavily emphasized defensive cross-training, insisting that his staff refuses to &amp;ldquo;farm each other&amp;rsquo;s land&amp;rdquo;—meaning everyone coaches everyone, allowing players like Jared Ivy to shift fluidly from the A-gap to the D-gap. He also praised veteran defensive back Julian as the &amp;ldquo;mayor&amp;rdquo; of the team for his willingness to move around the secondary, noting the staff is actively scheming ways to get him &amp;ldquo;closer to the action&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>2026-06-11</title><link>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/nfl_news/nfl-news-2026-06-11/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/nfl_news/nfl-news-2026-06-11/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="nfl-news--2026-06-11"&gt;NFL News — 2026-06-11&lt;a class="anchor" href="#nfl-news--2026-06-11"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Denver Broncos locked down head coach Sean Payton by signing him to a massive five-year contract extension through the 2030 season &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/broncos-sign-head-coach-sean-payton-to-new-five-year-contract-through-2030-season"&gt;Broncos sign Head Coach Sean Payton to new five-year contract through 2030 season&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This solidifies their command structure and rewards Payton for back-to-back playoff berths, bringing crucial stability to a franchise that has successfully rebuilt a winning culture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Seahawks are actively working to lock down star cornerback Devon Witherspoon with a contract extension before training camp begins. While reports indicate there&amp;rsquo;s still work to be done to finalize the deal, securing Spoon for the long haul is clearly a massive priority for the front office as the defending Super Bowl champs gear up for 2026.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>2026-06-10</title><link>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/nfl_news/nfl-news-2026-06-10/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/nfl_news/nfl-news-2026-06-10/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="nfl-news--2026-06-10"&gt;NFL News — 2026-06-10&lt;a class="anchor" href="#nfl-news--2026-06-10"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The blockbuster ripple effects of the offseason are in full swing as minicamps conclude, but no story is bigger than the seismic shift in the pass-rushing landscape following the Cleveland Browns&amp;rsquo; trade of reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. The move drastically alters the NFC West arms race and leaves a massive void in Cleveland&amp;rsquo;s defense as teams transition toward training camp.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>2026-06-10</title><link>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/seahawks/seahawks-2026-06-10/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/seahawks/seahawks-2026-06-10/</guid><description>&lt;details&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mandatory minicamp is officially underway at the VMAC, but head coach Mike Macdonald quickly flipped the script on Day 2 by converting practice into a walk-through for a massive community service outing across Seattle. While the on-field action brought encouraging news with guard Anthony Bradford returning to action and star corner Devon Witherspoon increasing his workload in 11-on-11 drills, the team prioritized giving back by spending the afternoon at Seattle Children’s Hospital, the VA, and Doug Baldwin’s community center.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>2026-06-09</title><link>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/nfl_news/nfl-news-2026-06-09/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/nfl_news/nfl-news-2026-06-09/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="nfl-news--2026-06-09"&gt;NFL News — 2026-06-09&lt;a class="anchor" href="#nfl-news--2026-06-09"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The 2026 offseason minicamp cycle is in full swing, highlighted by aggressive roster restructuring and high-profile quarterback competitions taking center stage. The most consequential move of the day sees the Cincinnati Bengals restructuring Joe Burrow&amp;rsquo;s massive contract to absorb a seismic defensive overhaul that includes Dexter Lawrence and Boye Mafe, signaling an all-in push to fix their run defense.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rookie pass rushers and linebackers are already flashing elite potential during unpadded minicamps across the league. In New York, the Giants&amp;rsquo; fifth-overall pick Arvell Reese is forming a terrifying inside linebacker tandem alongside Tremaine Edmunds, with Brian Burns admitting he&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;never seen a linebacker duo like that&amp;rdquo;. Over in New Jersey, the Jets are raving about the &amp;ldquo;tremendously high ceiling&amp;rdquo; of No. 2 overall pick David Bailey, who led the FBS in pressures last year and is already drawing praise from veteran Demario Davis. Additionally, the Bengals officially signed second-round SEC Defensive Player of the Year &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bengals.com/news/cashius-howell-rookie-contract-signed-2026-roster-update"&gt;Cashius Howell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to his rookie deal, adding a much-needed piece to their edge rotation following Trey Hendrickson&amp;rsquo;s departure.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>2026-06-09</title><link>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/seahawks/seahawks-2026-06-09/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://macworks.dev/docs/week/seahawks/seahawks-2026-06-09/</guid><description>&lt;details&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Leonard Williams revealed that second-year defensive lineman Riley Mills is finally fully healthy after battling a knee injury during his rookie season, noting he looks &amp;ldquo;bouncy&amp;rdquo; and predicting he will see significantly more game time this year.&lt;/p&gt;

Williams was fired up at the podium, noting how the team&amp;rsquo;s culture is elevating and &amp;ldquo;boiling&amp;rdquo; to become a true foundation. On the schematic front, he shared that entering Mike Macdonald&amp;rsquo;s third year, players grasp the defensive calls so well they are diagnosing plays and playing &amp;ldquo;ahead of the snap&amp;rdquo;. Williams also offered some great locker-room color, revealing Julian Love has earned the nickname &amp;ldquo;The Mayor&amp;rdquo; for his articulate speeches during defensive meetings. Finally, he noted several veterans, including Demarcus Lawrence, Jarran Reed, and Uchenna Nwosu, are reading the book &lt;em&gt;Chop Wood Carry Water&lt;/em&gt; to stay grounded and avoid cutting corners after winning the Super Bowl.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
