On his mindset now:

“It has been cool. I am just excited. I get to go out there and play football. It is the game I love.”

On if he is able to set aside any feelings about entering the final year of his contract:

“It is what it is. I am going to control what I can control, and that is going out there and playing football, which I enjoy doing. I have done it all of my life.”

On if there is a sense of frustration that he did not receive a contract extension:

“Right now, I am focused on Sunday. I am ready to take care of business.”

On if it is hard to focus solely on Sunday after not receiving a contract extension prior to the season:

“I love the game of football so no.”

On seeing Panthers QB Baker Mayfield on the opposing sideline this weekend:

“It is going to be different, but I wish him the best and I wish us better.”

On if he wanted to play this preseason:

“Every time we go to the stadium or anything, I always want to play some football. That is just in my nature.”
