June is usually a relatively quiet period on the NFL calendar, but the 2026 offseason has proven to be an exception.
The month opened with a pair of major trades. A.J. Brown was dealt from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots in a move that had long been anticipated, while the Cleveland Browns stunned the league by sending Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams.
Those transactions injected excitement into an otherwise slow offseason period. More headlines are expected to emerge soon as teams begin their mandatory minicamps ahead of the 2026 NFL season.
Unlike organized team activities (OTAs), which are voluntary, minicamps are mandatory. As a result, attention will be focused on potential absences, particularly among players who are pursuing new contracts.
Jacoby Brissett and George Pickens are expected to be among the most closely monitored players. Brissett is reportedly seeking a pay increase as the Arizona Cardinals prepare to move forward with him as their starting quarterback and could choose to hold out if a new deal is not reached.
Meanwhile, Pickens is set to play under the franchise tag during the 2026 season. The Dallas Cowboys have publicly indicated they do not intend to negotiate a long-term extension this offseason, though head coach Brian Schottenheimer expects the 25-year-old wide receiver to participate in mandatory minicamp despite the contract situation.
Additional storylines are likely to emerge throughout minicamp, particularly with the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings entering the summer with two of the league’s most open quarterback battles.
Below is a complete look at the NFL’s 2026 mandatory minicamp schedule and workout dates for each team.
