A law enforcement official tells FOX Boston that Aaron Hernandez "appears to be directly tied to the homicide" of "associate" Odin Lloyd in North Attleboro, Mass.

Steve Breaston - WR - Free Agent

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette reports the Steelers signing free agent WR Steve Breaston "won't happen."

The Steelers showed interest in Breaston following his late February release from the Chiefs, but they're no longer interested. Breaston battled persistent knee inflammation last season, and even considered Regenokine therapy. The soon-to-be 30-year-old hasn't drawn an ounce of known interest in nearly four months.

Nate Washington - WR - Titans

Coach Mike Munchak said Nate Washington "has had the best camp since he's been [a Titan]."

Munchak talked up the entire receiving corps following Wednesday's final minicamp practice. "It was fun seeing Kenny [Britt] healthy and not having questions every day about his health, and seeing [Kendall Wright] lose 15 pounds and running out here like a guy who’s going to break a lot of runs next year," Munchak said. "Washington has had the best camp he’s had since he’s been here. He’s been a leader. He’s been everything you could ask for." The Titans have a ton of talent -- including second-round rookie Justin Hunter -- at the position, but it's going to be up to Jake Locker to make the most of it all.

Sharrif Floyd - DL - Vikings

Vikings first-round DT Sharrif Floyd took reps with the first-team nickel defense in Wednesday's minicamp practice.

Floyd lined up next to NT Letroy Guion, in place of three-technique Kevin Williams. Floyd isn't expected to take overtake Williams in year one, but he's certainly viewed by the organization as the future at the position. He'll still see plenty of snaps this season as a rotational lineman.

R.J. Webb - WR - Panthers

Panthers undrafted rookie WR R.J. Webb tore his right ACL and chipped a bone in his knee last Tuesday, June 11, at minicamp.

We specify the date simply for bookkeeping purposes, but there's a very real chance we never hear Webb's name again. Webb, 26 in August, tore both ACLs at Furman. He caught 31 passes for 322 yards and four touchdowns as a senior back in 2009. Webb was waived-injured on Wednesday.

Justin Hunter - WR - Titans

Second-round WR Justin Hunter (hamstring) participated in individual drills on the final day of Titans minicamp Wednesday.

It was Hunter's first practice of any kind during OTAs. It puts him on track to be ready for team drills when training camp begins late next month, but he'll be on the spot to prove he can stay on the field after WRs coach Shawn Jefferson questioned his toughness in May. Hunter has the talent to make an impact as a rookie, but the Titans' erratic passing attack could hold him back.

Dale Moss - WR - Panthers

Panthers signed WR Dale Moss.

An undrafted free agent out of South Dakota State last season, Moss has athleticism to spare as a former basketball player, but hasn't come close to sticking on anyone's roster. He could be a practice squad player in Carolina.

Mark Sanchez - QB - Jets

Jets C Nick Mangold believes Mark Sanchez should remain the starting quarterback this season, and says the rest of the locker room feels the same way.

"Whoever gives us the best chance to (win), we want out there — and at this point, Mark gives us that best chance," Mangold insisted. The Jets' players must not have watched much of Sanchez's 2012 film. Whoever gives a rebuilding team the technical "best chance to win" isn't the point — it's that Sanchez has emphatically proven he's not an NFL-caliber starter, and the Jets need to find out if Geno Smith is one after investing the No. 39 overall pick in him. At least for now, the Jets are stuck in neutral at their most important position.

Justin Smith - DL - 49ers

49ers RE Justin Smith (triceps) is currently bench-pressing more than 400 pounds.

It sounds like Cowboy's triceps/elbow is doing just fine. Fresh off signing a two-year extension, Smith is expected to be 100 percent for training camp.

Desmond Bishop - LB - Free Agent

Vikings DC Alan Williams termed the team's workout of free agent ILB Desmond Bishop as "due diligence."

Bishop left his Tuesday tryout without a contract. He'll now head to Kansas City on Thursday, and perhaps Jacksonville at some point down the road. Provided he's healthy — Bishop was still limited in Packers minicamp as he made his way back from a ruptured hamstring — he should have little trouble finding a new home before camp.

J.J. Wilcox - DB - Cowboys

Cowboys signed No. 80 overall pick SS J.J. Wilcox to a four-year contract.

A running back and receiver for his first three years at small-school Georgia Southern, Wilcox has just one year of experience on defense. There was some initial thought he could compete for a starting job, but DBs coach Jerome Henderson has called him "light years" away from being an NFL contributor. In other words, it was another questionable pick by owner/GM Jerry Jones, and Wilcox will likely focus on special teams as a rookie.

Blidi Wreh-Wilson - DB - Titans

Titans signed No. 70 overall pick CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson to a four-year contract.

First-rounder Chance Warmack is now the Titans' lone unsigned draft pick. Standing in at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, Wreh-Wilson ran a 4.53 40-yard dash at the Combine to go along with a 36-inch vertical leap and 10-foot-8 broad jump. Despite his solid measurables, Wreh-Wilson wasn't an elite play-maker at UConn, and has a bit of an injury history. He won't start as a rookie, but could eventually develop into a No. 2 corner.

Barry Richardson - T - Titans

Titans agreed to terms with OT Barry Richardson, formerly of the Rams.

A five-year veteran, Richardson has started 48 consecutive games. A former Chief, he served as the Rams' right tackle last season, but was thoroughly mediocre. He'll serve as veteran insurance for RT David Stewart (broken leg). LT Michael Roos is also dealing with a minor back injury, but is expected to be fine for camp. Richardson should be able to lock down a roster spot.

Sam Bradford - QB - Rams

Rams OC Brian Schottenheimer believes Sam Bradford is "a thousand years" ahead of where he was a year ago.

"The day Sam walked back into the building (this offseason) we started making adjustments," Schottenheimer said. 2013 marks the first time in Bradford's four-year career that he's had the same coordinator as the previous season. A lack of continuity has been just one of the reasons for Bradford's slow progression, but we believe he could eclipse 4,000 yards after coming up 298 yards short last season. Coming off a hot finish to 2012, the Rams have upgraded Bradford's line while surrounding him with more explosive weapons.

Aaron Hernandez - TE - Patriots

In its latest update to the Aaron Hernandez story, Sports Illustrated reiterates he is "not believed to be a murder suspect."

Hernandez's role in the alleged crime remains unclear after Massachusetts State Police searched his home for over two and a half hours Tuesday. Per reporter Greg A. Bedard, police are looking for a second vehicle under Hernandez's name in addition to the rental car considered a "key piece of evidence." We're nowhere near the end of this.
