Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Will Levis excited about what he has seen this offseason
Will Levis is reportedly excited about what he has seen this offseason and what’s to come next.

“I feel great,” Levis said as he enters his second season in the NFL. “Having these last five to six weeks to be with the guys and learn the offense, obviously that jump-start is huge. “But physically, I feel like I am in a better spot than I’ve been in a really, really long time. That is one of the things I was looking to improve the most this offseason – getting healthy, getting my stuff back and being able to play the game like I know I can. So it’s been cool to feel my body get to that point, and I am going to keep working to get past there.” Levis started nine games last season, showing flashes of his upside with his arm. The Titans added Tony Pollard, Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd to the offense this offseason to help surround Levis with more weapons. He’ll look to that next step this season as a passer.

Harris had the fifth-year option in his rookie contract declined by the Steelers, so he has a lot to play for this season. “It’s all fueling his fire to have an even better season than last year and prove a lot of people wrong,” said Harris’ trainer Josh Scott. “There’s a lot of people that hate on him for whatever reason, but he’s been as consistent as you can be. He’s durable. I think he’s going to continue with that. I mean, contract season, that pretty much speaks for itself.” Harris lost about seven pounds this offseason and has been “extremely clean – almost obsessively clean – with his diet.” He still figures to share the workload with Jaylen Warren in the Steelers backfield this season.

Tua Tagovailoa skipping ‘majority’ of voluntary workouts
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has reportedly skipped the “majority” of the team’s voluntary offseason work over the first month ahead of voluntary OTAs.

These absences are believed to be tied to his pending contract extension, as Tagovailoa seeks a deal as he enters 2024 set to play on his $23.171 million fifth-year option. While it can be rationalized that Tagovailoa’s absences are insignificant considering work at this point is voluntary, CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones mentions that the former Alabama QB has been present for the majority of his voluntary offseason work through his first four NFL seasons. With Jared Goff‘s extension painting a picture, Tagovailoa’s search for future security could bleed into training camp if he’s willing to stomach any potential fines.
