The Browns have "inquired" about Jeremy Maclin, according to Cleveland.com.

Adam Schefter said this morning that the Browns were interested. Head coach Hue Jackson was asked about Maclin and said that'd be "a good thing" if they inquired about him, indicating that he'd like to have Maclin on the team. The Browns have boatloads of cap space and can offer a ton of money to Maclin, even if it's just a one-year deal to make the team better in 2017.

Demaryius Thomas said "this is the best I've ever felt in damn near my whole career," according to Andrew Mason.

Thomas again said his hip injury sustained in the season opener against the Panthers affected him all season. Mason says Thomas' excitement about the new offense is "palpable." Thomas will be the Broncos' number one receiver this season, and he should have no problem putting up his sixth straight season with over 1,000 yards, if he stays healthy. Thomas has also had at least 90 receptions in the last six seasons. There aren't many safer players to draft in fantasy.

Jets head coach Todd Bowles said he's "not sure" if the team has asked Eric Decker to take a pay cut.

He's also not sure if Decker's roster spot is in jeopardy. Bowles could just not want to answer the media's questions. Decker has been wearing a non-contact jersey throughout OTAs, and it's unclear when he will be cleared fully. The Jets just released veteran linebacker David Harris, so it's not out of the question for them to part ways with Decker.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said tight end Maxx Williams underwent a surgery that no football player ever has.

It's unclear what exactly was done to Williams' knee, or what exactly was wrong that he needed to have this unique surgery. The good news is that Williams is expected to be good to go for training camp, but the Ravens might have the most crowded tight end group in the league, and it might be hard for Williams to break through.

Marcus Mariota took full team snaps in Titans' OTAs today.

This reportedly was a surprise and not expected. Mariota appears to be progressing well from his leg injury, and it's looking like he should be 100% for training camp.

Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta says "nobody is making more plays" so far than receiver Breshad Perriman.

Perriman battled injuries through his first two seasons, and this is really his first full offseason where he's healthy. The Ravens are looking for receivers to step up with Steve Smith Sr. retired and Kamar Aiken leaving in free agency, so the opportunity is there for Perriman. The former first round pick is a talented player with great size and speed, so we may be looking at a breakout this year. Perriman is very much worth a late round pick in 2017 fantasy drafts.

Jaguars executive VP Tom Coughlin says Blake Bortles has "pretty much" corrected his throwing mechanics.

Bortles throwing motion became a big concern during his subpar 2016, with the motion being too long. A prolonged throwing motion gives defenders more time to break on the ball, and it can also lead to inconsistent accuracy (which Bortles struggled with last season). Coughlin said his quarterback turned the ball over too much last season, so that's been another area of focus for Bortles this offseason. Remember, Bortles was dealing with injuries to both shoulders last season, so he should be a lot healthier in 2017.
