Do they have a top 10 roster?
Another day of Organized Team Activities is going on today. Next week they begin the Mandatory Minicamp. There is a lot to be excited about this season.
The team really addressed some weaknesses in free agency with maybe a quibble about cornerback. But we have to trust Flores was behind the acquisitions and his resume here speaks for itself. When you think about our Quarterback not taking any snaps yet, you can be somewhat relieved when you see the numbers that the rookie quarterbacks put up last year. It is hard to believe that JJ McCarty is going to do a lot worse. In fact, it is reasonable to assume he will do just as good as Nix and Maye and Caleb Williams. He is going to have a fantastic supporting cast around him which is one that many quarterbacks in the league will be envious.
I have to say the one thing I am looking forward to most of all is MOAR BEER!
How about you?
The next organized team activities.
The schedule is ...
OTAs: June 16-18
Mandatory Minicamp: June 10-12

His session touched on the 2025 team’s urgency, his leadership journey, and his impression of the inexperienced quarterback who is lined up to feed him passes in Year 6: J.J. McCarthy.
“I feel like just based off of last year, us having 14 wins, the confidence is there,” Jefferson stated in a very matter-of-fact manner. “So it’s all about just coming together, bonding as a team, which we did last year – and we felt like that team last year was a very special team. So [we’re] just carrying on that same mindset, making sure everybody is together as one, and just coming out here and putting in that work.”
Early in his remarks, Jefferson elaborated on his presence at Organized Team Activity practices this year, it being a voluntary phase of the offseason that he’s previously skipped. It was a “no-brainer” to be involved, he said, so that he could connect with several new teammates, including a new quarterback.
*“It’s not really hard, I would say,” Jefferson said of the alternative, which for him has been a later arrival and therefore less hours to get in sync with his offensive teammates ahead of any given season. “I mean, I’ve done it before. But it’s just having a little bit of extra time to really bond with the team, build that connection. And, of course, getting those reps...
