Albert remains a no-show for the Jaguars' voluntary offseason
workouts in an apparent ploy to have his contract restructured.

For the New Orleans Saints' coaching staff, the chance to get a
good first look at the six players they selected in the draft
last month wasn't the only objective when they held a three-day
rookie minicamp.
Since the arrival of coach Sean Payton in 2006, the Saints have
used the rookie minicamp to take a look not only at their picks
and the undrafted free agents they signed in the hours after the
draft, but they've taken advantage of the opportunity to kick
the tires on a few veterans as well with nothing to lose.
While the Saints were eager to get their two first-round draft
picks -- Ohio State cornerback Marshon Lattimore and Wisconsin
tackle Ryan Ramczyk -- integrated into their system, they had
their eyes on a lot of other players. Ramczyk, who was chosen
32nd overall with the pick the Saints received from the New
England Patriots in the Brandin Cooks trade, has been something
of a surprise. (Editing by Andrew Both)
