Jets GM Joe Douglas is hiring former Colts VP of player personnel Rex Hogan as assistant GM, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. This is a surprise because Bears executive Champ Kelly had been considered the favorite. Douglas has no background with Hogan, but Hogan is familiar with some of the roster because he was the Jets' director of college scouting from 2015 to 2017 under ex-GM Mike Maccagnan — the Leo Williams/Darron Lee/Jamal Adams drafts. Douglas also is hiring longtime personnel man Phil Savage as a senior adviser and Chad Alexander (Ravens) as director of player personnel, per Schefter.

The Packers will practice 20 times (including Family Night and joint sessions with the Texans) in training camp this year. That's five more than last year. While they'll close to the public earlier (Aug. 19 instead of Aug. 27 like last year), there are still more open to the public (16) this year.

Sources expect a new deal between the Saints and receiver Michael Thomas before the start of training camp, according to ESPN's Dianna Russini, who also reported that the Saints are comfortable making him the highest-paid receiver in the game. That last part should come as no surprise, considering Thomas has established himself as a first-team All-Pro. The bigger question is how much more Thomas will make than Odell Beckham Jr., who currently leads all receivers with an average salary between $18-19 million per year and a total of $65 million in guarantees.

The Raiders announced they have signed first-round draft picks Clelin Ferrell, the No. 4 overall draft pick, and Johnathan Abram, the No. 27 overall pick, as well as second-round cornerback Trayvon Mullen, the 40th overall selection, to their rookie contracts on Tuesday. That means that eight of Oakland's nine draft picks are signed, leaving only first-round running back Josh Jacobs (No. 24 overall) as unsigned. All of the rookies took part in the team's offseason training program, though, with Ferrell and Abram getting reps with the first-team defense at defensive end and safety, respectively, and are finishing out the Raiders' player engagement program this week.
