The big story of the NFL this week involves the New York Jets. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers skipped the team's mandatory minicamp. Minicamp is the one part of the offseason program that isn't voluntary. Rodgers' absence generated headlines, but in reality it will have little to do with the way the Jets perform once the real games start. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The New York Jets made a big splash this offseason trading for star pass rusher Haason Reddick. Reddick wants a new contract, however, and will not participate in this week's mandatory minicamp. This will result in a fine for Reddick. The bigger question is how far he will be willing to push this.

The NFL has new kickoff rules this year. Teams are finding ways to prepare for them. The New York Jets made a signing with the rules in mind, Tarik Cohen. Cohen is a former All Pro return man.
