As offseason workouts turn into minicamps for most NFL teams, the conversations financially speaking often turn to extending from within this time of year. We'll take a look at the status, calculated value, and our prediction for each of the 2019 first round picks who are now extension eligible for the first time in their careers.

Disclaimer: For practical purposes, when referencing the current top AAV & Guarantee figures for Quarterbacks & Interior Defensive Linemen, we've excluded Deshaun Watson (*) and Aaron Donald (**) for this exercise.

#1 Joe Burrow (QB, Bengals)

Burrow has done everything he’s been asked to do and then some, including doubling his production as a scrambling/running QB last season.

Calculated Valuation: $53.7M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $52M (L. Jackson)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $185M (L. Jackson)*

Prediction: Burrow signs a 6 year, $315M extension (8 years, $350M total), including $200M practically guaranteed.

#2 Chase Young (DE, Commanders)

The Commanders recently declined a $17.45M 5th-year option for Young, making 2023 a contract year for the 24-year-old. He’s seen action in just 12 games over the past two seasons, but a healthy, productive year can certainly change things quickly

Calculated Valuation: $17.8M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $28M (T. Watt)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $102M (J. Bosa)

Prediction: No extension. Young’s injury history makes an early extension unlikely, but a clean 2023 leads to a franchise tag next February with options to build on from there.

#3 Jeff Okudah (CB, Falcons)

The Lions traded Okudah to Atlanta this spring, after his healthiest and most productive season to date. There’s a world where he hits the ground running for the Falcons, and with free agency in front of him next March, it would be the perfect time for it.

Calculated Valuation: $14.7M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20.1M (D. Ward)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $71.25M (D. Ward)

Prediction: No extension. We’re a long way from a multi-year guarantee offer here, but a young and hungry Falcons’ team could be exactly what the doctor ordered to reinvigorate Okudah’s career.

#4 Andrew Thomas (LT, Giants)

The #3 graded offensive tackle for 2022 according to PFF becomes extension eligible at the perfect time. A much improved team, a QB1 with a new contract, and three straight years of exponential improvement on the books. 

Calculated Valuation: $21.4M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $25M (L. Tunsil)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $64M (R. Stanley)

Prediction: Back up the brinks truck. The Giants don’t necessarily have to rush this, as Thomas’ final two rookie contract years currently align with Daniel Jones’ practical guarantees, but locking in a franchise left tackle for the foreseeable future is never bad business. Thomas signs a 4 year, $88M extension ($107M over 6 years) that includes $60M practically guaranteed.

#5 Tua Tagovailoa (QB, Dolphins)

So much focus (rightfully so) has been placed on Tua’s head injury history, but the production he accumulated on the field in 13 games last season (25 TD, 8 INT, 105 Passer Rating) would have warranted a serious conversation about a multi-year extension. It seems logical that Miami will want to see a full, healthy year before they pull that trigger though.

Calculated Valuation: $45M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $52M (L. Jackson)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $185M (L. Jackson)*

Prediction: No extension (yet). Tua plays out 2023, with a fully guaranteed $23.1M already on the books for 2024, giving Miami time.

#6 Justin Herbert (QB, Chargers)

It’s easy to look at Herbert’s 3-year stat lines and notice a decline in 2022 production. But an elbow injury thwarted his ability to operate as the deadly deep ball passer that he is for much of last season, forcing a shorter, more efficient gameplan. There’s zero reason to wait on this contract (unless you’re waiting for Burrow’s numbers to hit first from Herbert’s standpoint).

Calculated Valuation: $50.8M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $52M (L. Jackson)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $185M (L. Jackson)*

Prediction: Herbert locks in a 4 year, $210M extension, including a non-Deshaun record $140M fully guaranteed at signing.

#7 Derrick Brown (DT, Panthers)

Brown really took a big step forward in 2022, especially as it pertains to the run-stuffing game. He’s only amassed 6 sacks in 3 seasons, but he’s developed into a Top 10 interior defensive lineman regardless.

Calculated Valuation: $17.5M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $23.5M (J. Simmons)**
Current Position Max Guarantee: $60M (C. Jones/D. Lawrence)**

Prediction: No extension (yet). Brown is on his way, and the defensive tackle market has taken off this spring. But the Panthers are close to turning a corner here, and should be in evaluation mode more than extending mode for the next few months. It’s not hard to imagine $50M guaranteed in Browns’ next calendar year though.

#8 Isaiah Simmons (LB/CB, Cardinals)

Arizona declined Simmons’ $12.7M 5th-year option for 2024, making this upcoming season a contract year for the 24-year-old. He’s a fill up the stat line type player that might have just been drafted into the wrong defense at the wrong time.

Calculated Valuation: $16.5M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20M (R. Smith)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $60M (R. Smith)

Prediction: Simmons is traded in the coming weeks, further establishing a massive rebuild on the fly in Arizona.

#9 C.J. Henderson (CB, Panthers)

The Jags traded Henderson to Carolina after just 1, injury-filled season. While he’s shown improvement, he’s nowhere near the level of player Jacksonville thought they were getting at #9.

Calculated Valuation: $8.4M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20.1M (D. Ward)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $71.25M (D. Ward)

Prediction: No extension. Henderson will play out his 1 year, $3.4M contract and walk into free agency next March.

#10 Jedrick Wills (LT, Browns)

The Browns exercised Wills’ $14.1M 5th-year option for 2024 last month, putting him on track to negotiate an extension over the next calendar year. While he hasn’t risen to elite blindside tackle status, he seems a worthy candidate to stick around for Deshaun Watson’s tenure.

Calculated Valuation: $19M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $25M (L. Tunsil)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $64M (R. Stanley)

Prediction: No extension (yet). The Browns are still trying to fill out their 2023 roster, so adding cap to Year 4 of this rookie deal makes little sense right now. Extending out of his $14M salary next March seems the right approach.

#11 Mekhi Becton (RT, Jets)

After back to back injury-filled seasons, the Jets declined Becton’s $13.5M option for 2024, making this upcoming season a contract year for the 24 year old. He’ll have a chance to secure his role at right tackle in front of Aaron Rodgers.

Calculated Valuation: $12.9M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20.1M (L. Johnson)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $60.2M (R. Ramczyk)

Prediction: No extension. Right tackles have done extremely well on the open market the past few offseasons, so Becton’s financial career is far from toast, provided he can stay on the field in 2023.

#12 Henry Ruggs (WR, Raiders)

Not active.

#13 Tristan Wirfs (OT, Buccaneers)

After 3 seasons of elite right tackle play, the Bucs will flip Wirfs to the blindside this season, further enhancing his next contract value (assuming he can sustain his level of play on the opposite side of the line).

Calculated Valuation: $24.7M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $25M (L. Tunsil)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $64M (R. Stanley)

Prediction: Historic. Wirfs signs a 4 year, $102M extension, including $66M practically guaranteed.

#14 Javon Kinlaw (DT, 49ers)

San Francisco declined Kinlaw’s $10.4M option for 2024, making this upcoming season a contract year for the 25 year old. Javon Hargrave’s splashy free agent signing seems to have written the writing on the wall here.

Calculated Valuation: $5.4M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $23.5M (J. Simmons)**
Current Position Max Guarantee: $60M (C. Jones/D. Lawrence)**

Prediction: No extension. Kinlaw finds a 2-3 year deal around $7M per year on the open market next season to reestablish himself elsewhere.

#15 Jerry Jeudy (WR, Broncos)

Denver exercised a $12.9M extension for 2024, affording them time to further assess their offense (most notably their QB1). With Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick both under multi-year extensions already, it might be difficult to justify a long-term deal for Jeudy right now, but he just finished his most productive season to date, and could be in for even bigger numbers this upcoming year.

Calculated Valuation: $20.1M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $30M (T. Hill)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $75M (C. Kupp)

Prediction: The Broncos sign Jeudy to a 4 year, $88M extension, including $50M practically guaranteed.

#16 A.J. Terrell (CB, Falcons)

Atlanta exercised Terrell’s $12.3M option for 2024, putting him fully guaranteed at nearly $15M over the next two seasons. He was one of the best coverage defenders in all of football for the 2021 season, but fell back down to earth a bit last year. Atlanta has invested heavily on the defensive side of the ball this spring, and Terrell might bank on that (literally) next March.

Calculated Valuation: $20M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20.1M (D. Ward)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $71.25M (D. Ward)

Prediction. Not yet. Atlanta needs to see what they have in a lot of areas before committing too much down the line. A lot of smart people believe the Falcons young core will come together quickly, which should mean $50M+ guaranteed for Terrell in the next calendar year.

#17 CeeDee Lamb (WR, Cowboys)

Dallas has their eyes on new deals for CB Diggs, QB Prescott, T Steele, & of course Lamb, who unsurprisingly had a career year in 2022 after Amari Cooper was shipped to Cleveland. It’s not a matter of if here, only when.

Calculated Valuation: $22.5M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $30M (T. Hill)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $75M (C. Kupp)

Prediction: The Cowboys lock in Lamb to a 4 year, $105M extension, including $63M practically guaranteed - making him the highest average paid and guaranteed rookie extended WR in history.

#18 Austin Jackson (RT, Dolphins)

Miami declined Jackson’s $14.1M option for 2024, making this a contract year for the 24 year old. He still projects as the Week 1 starting right tackle for the Dolphins, but added depth on the roster could change that quickly.

Calculated Valuation: $10.6M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20.1M (L. Johnson)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $60.2M (R. Ramczyk)

Prediction: No extension. Miami’s in win-now mode, and they’ll be allocating resources all over the roster to remain that way for as long as possible. Jackson should hit the open market next March.

#19 Damon Arnette (CB)

Not active.

#20 K’Lavon Chaisson (EDGE, Jaguars)

Jacksonville declined a $12.1M option for 2024, and Chaisson’s role has been reduced in each of the past two seasons.

Calculated Valuation: $3M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $28M (T. Watt)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $102M (J. Bosa)

Prediction: Chaisson is traded prior to training camp, as Jacksonville looks to free up a little cap/cash for a few monster deals waiting for them next March.

#21 Jalen Reagor (WR, Vikings)

The Vikings acquired Reagor from Philly last August, but declined his $12.9M option for 2024 after just 8 catches and 4 fumbles last season.

Calculated Valuation: $4.6M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $30M (T. Hill)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $75M (C. Kupp)

Prediction: No extension. Reagor will play out his fully guaranteed $2.4M salary, and may be a trade deadline candidate come Halloween.

#22 Justin Jefferson (WR, Vikings)

Kirk Cousins is on an expiring contract, Dalvin Cook may be off the roster by the team you read this, and yet the Vikings’ chance in the NFC North is as good as it’s ever been with Aaron Rodgers out the door. Somebody’s going to give Justin Jefferson an historic contract, but that team might not be Minnesota?

Calculated Valuation: $26.7M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $30M (T. Hill)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $75M (C. Kupp)

Prediction: Kirk Cousins & Justin Jefferson both sign extensions this summer, refortifying the Vikings as annual contenders in the NFC North. In Jefferson’s case, a 4 year, $110M contract with $75M practically guaranteed should get it done.

#23 Kenneth Murray (LB, Chargers)

LA declined Murray’s $11.7M option for 2024, making this upcoming season a contract year, and putting his future with the Chargers very much in question.

Calculated Valuation: $4.3M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20M (R. Smith)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $60M (R. Smith)

Prediction: No extension. Murray has a solid 2023 in the middle of a good Chargers defense, and hits the open market looking to establish his value with a T.J. Edwards type deal (3 years, $20M).

#24 Cesar Ruiz (C/G, Saints)

The #24 overall pick never really found his footing through three seasons, despite playing almost every offensive snap over the course of the past two years. He projects to be the Week 1 starting right Guard, so there’s time to build up value as free agency nears.

Calculated Valuation: $10M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20.5M (C. Lindstrom)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $60M (Q. Nelson)

Prediction: No extension. The Saints are hoping 2023 4th rounder Nick Saldiveri can slot into this role next season.

#25 Brandon Aiyuk (WR, 49ers)

Aiyuk’s career has been steadily above average, culminating with a career season in 2022 (78 grabs, 1,015 yards, 8 TDs). San Francisco likely makes him get there again before seriously considering a long-term extension.

Calculated Valuation: $18M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $30M (T. Hill)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $75M (C. Kupp)

Prediction: No extension (yet). The 49ers have already fed a lot of mouths, and Nick Bosa’s extension remains a priority this summer. Aiyuk can force this conversation next February with another big year.

#26 Jordan Love (QB, Packers)

Technically he’s already been extended, though the 2 year, $15.8M contract currently on the books in Green Bay actually represents a $6.7M loss of base value from his previous 2023 salary + potential option. For all intents and purposes, this is still a showcase season for Love, with a true multi-year extension negotiation waiting for him in March if he answers the bell.

Calculated Valuation: TBD
Current Position Max AAV: $52M (L. Jackson)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $185M (L. Jackson)*

Prediction: With the restructure in place, we’ll reserve our prediction for after 2023.

#27 Jordyn Brooks (LB, Seahawks)

Seattle declined Brooks’ $12.7M option for 2024, making this a contract year for the 25 year old. He’s a tackle machine, but is currently recovering from a torn ACL, with a timetable to return still unknown. There’s still a very real world where Brooks fully recovers, and is offered a bigtime contract next March.

Calculated Valuation: $13.8M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20M (R. Smith)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $60M (R. Smith)

Prediction: No Extension. Seattle needs to wait out this ACL rehab before considering a long-term future, but Fred Warner’s $19M could be in the cards down the line here.

#28 Patrick Queen (LB, Ravens)

The Ravens declined Queen’s $12.7M option for 2024, but are also publicly stating their hopes of extended the 23 year old. In other words, “we already have this other guy (Roquan Smith), so if you’ll stick around for much less money, we’ll definitely pay you”.

Calculated Valuation: $16.9M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20M (R. Smith)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $60M (R. Smith)

Prediction: Queen sticks around for 2023, but walks into free agency hoping to follow in Tremaine Edmunds’ footsteps. (4 years, $72M, $50M guaranteed).

#29 Isaiah Wilson (T)

Not active.

#30 Noah Igbinoghene (CB, Dolphins)

The Dolphins declined Igbinoghene’s $13.2M 5th-year option, and are poised to run him out fairly deep down the depth chart in 2023. At $2.1M guaranteed, he’s likely worth keeping around, but don’t be surprised if a late round pick trade is processed sometime this summer.

Calculated Valuation: $3.8M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $20.1M (D. Ward)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $71.25M (D. Ward)

Prediction: No extension, fringe trade candidate this summer.

#31 Jeff Gladney (CB)

Deceased.

#32 Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB, Chiefs)

It was a swing and a miss. It happens. Kansas City declined CEH’s $5.4M option for 2024, putting him on a 1 year, $2M guaranteed contract through the end of the upcoming season. There are two teams currently heading into the summer with starting running backs operating under unsigned franchise tags (Raiders, Giants). With either of them offer a late rounder to bring in CEH as insurance?

Calculated Valuation: $3.9M per year
Current Position Max AAV: $16M (C. McCaffrey)
Current Position Max Guarantee: $38.1M (C. McCaffrey)

Prediction: No extension, no trade, CEH is a healthy scratch for half of 2023 and walks into free agency next March.

The 2020 NBA Draft class is eligible to sign Rookie Scale contract extensions this offseason. Each player has until late-October to agree to an extension. If no agreement is reached, the player will be eligible for restricted free agency in the summer of 2024. A handful of players are ineligible to sign an extension, because they had team options declined or were waived at some point during their rookie scale contract.

By pick from that 2020 Draft, here’s where things stand for each player. We’ll make a prediction on what happens before the late-October extension deadline.

For reference: The standard maximum extension (25% of the cap) these players can sign projects to be $207,350,000 over five years. The Designated Rookie Extension amount (30% of the cap) projects to be $248,820,000 over five years. We’re projecting this off a salary cap of $143 million for the 2024-25 season.

In order to qualify for the Designated Rookie Extension, a player must make All-NBA this coming season, or they can also qualify by winning MVP or Defensive Player of the Year this coming season.

#1 Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves

Edwards has blossomed into exactly the kind of star you hope to draft first overall. He’s a scoring machine, an improving rebounder and playmaker and he’s getting more efficient. The Wolves are going to have to no choice but to give him a max extension. It’s also likely Edwards will get the Designated Rookie language that could bump him to 30% of the cap too.

Prediction: Five years, $207,350,000 (25% of the cap), no options; Designated Rookie language to bump the extension to five years, $248,820,000, no options

#2 James Wiseman, Detroit Pistons

Wiseman finally found his footing in Detroit after two injury-plagued and inconsistent seasons with the Golden State Warriors. The offensive talent is evident, but the defense needs a lot of work. Given the Pistons also have Jalen Duren at the center spot, this battle royale will extend until next summer. 

Prediction: No extension

#3 LaMelo Ball, Charlotte Hornets 

Ball is the Hornets best player. He’s easily the best thing the woebegone franchise has going for them. He’s an All-Star talent and the kind of guy other players want to play with. Charlotte can’t mess this up by getting cheap. Full max, with the Designated Rookie language should be the play here.

Prediction: Five years, $207,350,000 (25% of the cap), no options; Designated Rookie language to bump the extension to five years, $248,820,000, no options

#4 Patrick Williams, Chicago Bulls

Williams has become one of the most underrated players from this class. He’s a good shooter, has shown improvement every season and he’s been durable in two of his three seasons. The Bulls roster and cap sheet are in a bit of a weird place, but they can’t let Williams leave because of that. The new CBA allowing for non-max rookie scale extensions to cover five years could come into play here.

Prediction: Five years, $100,000,000, no options 

#5 Isaac Okoro, Cleveland Cavaliers

Okoro showed real improvement in his third season, and yet it seems like the Cavs still did everything they could to try and replace him with worse-fitting options. Cleveland also has an increasing payroll and Okoro is probably more of a two than a three, and the backcourt spots are spoken for. That seems like a sign that no extension is coming.

Prediction: No extension

#6 Onyeka Okongwu, Atlanta Hawks

Normally, we’d say the Hawks should lock up Okongwu. But this team has so much long-term salary already committed for a middle-of-the-pack roster. Because of that, Atlanta may need to rebalance the roster a bit before taking care of Okongwu. That means this probably goes to restricted free agency in 2024.

Prediction: No extension

#7 Killian Hayes, Detroit Pistons

An extension for Hayes would have to be so incredibly team-friendly that he’s best to bet on himself putting it all together ahead of restricted free agency in 2024. The good news? There are some signs. Just not enough to get an extension.

Prediction: No extension

#8 Obi Toppin, New York Knicks

Toppin’s career has been spent as a low-minutes backup behind Julius Randle. There’s very much still a mystery box quality to his game. He’s flashed when given time, but those flashes aren’t extension-worthy…unless he’s traded ahead of the extension deadline. 

Prediction: No extension, unless he’s traded. Then, 4 years, $70,000,000 - seems like a worthy gamble as an upside bet.

#9 Deni Avdija, Washington Wizards

If Avdija could shoot, he’d be a lock for at least an $80 million extension. But he can’t shoot and doesn’t seem to be improving in that phase of the game either. The Wizards have a complicated summer with some key free agents and a new front office making the decisions. They’ll delay this one until restricted free agency in 2024. 

Prediction: No extension.

#10 Jalen Smith, Indiana Pacers 

Smith had his third- and fourth-year options declined by the Phoenix Suns. He was traded to Indiana during the 2021-22 season. Smith then signed a three-year, $15.1 million with the Pacers in the summer of 2022.

#11 Devin Vassell, San Antonio Spurs

Vassell suffered through an injury-plagued third season, but he improved nearly across the board. The Spurs locked up Keldon Johnson to a value deal last summer and will look to do the same with Vassell. This is another one where the five-year allowance for non-max deals in the CBA could be big.

Prediction: Five years, $115,000,000, no options 

#12 Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana Pacers

Haliburton is a bona fide star. He’s the Pacers franchise player. He’s every bit as good as LaMelo Ball as young, star point guards. That’ll get him paid, and probably on a deal that includes Designated Rookie language too.

Prediction: Five years, $207,350,000 (25% of the cap), no options; Designated Rookie language to bump the extension to Five years, $248,820,000, no options

#13 Kira Lewis Jr., New Orleans Pelicans

Lewis has suffered through injuries in his first three seasons and has only appeared in 103 regular season games for the Pels. That’s not enough to extend him, and the guard rotation is pretty stuffed in New Orleans too.

Prediction: No extension

#14 Aaron Nesmith, Indiana Pacers

Nesmith turned in his first healthy season and he played well for the Pacers. He showed some signs of becoming that knockdown shooter he was supposed to be coming out of college. But the Pacers are going to commit big money to Tyrese Haliburton, after extending Myles Turner last summer. And they’ll probably spend some dough in free agency too. That doesn’t leave room to extend Nesmith. 

Prediction: No extension

#15 Cole Anthony, Orlando Magic

Anthony has adapted well to the third-guard role for the Magic. He was solid coming off the bench. But that caps how much you can pay him, especially in a backcourt that features some other talented players too. Unless it’s a team-friendly deal, Orlando probably lets this carry over to the summer of 2024. That could benefit Anthony too, as his market could expand. 

Prediction: No extension

#16 Isaiah Stewart, Detroit Pistons

The Pistons frontcourt is crowded. Isaiah Stewart might be the best of the young bunch, but he probably also has the least upside. His best role seems like it’ll be as an energy big for 20-25 minutes a night on a good team. That’s not something you generally extend a guy for, unless it’s team-friendly. Stewart is better off betting on himself. 

Prediction: No extension

#17 Aleksej Pokusevski, Oklahoma City Thunder 

Pokusevski was figuring this out in his third season and making real progress. Then a fracture in his leg sidelined him for a large chunk of the second half of the season. There won’t be an extension, because the big man will have to show he’s part of the long-term future this upcoming season.

Prediction: No extension

#18 Josh Green, Dallas Mavericks 

Green started to show some stuff during his second season. In his third year, Green became the Mavs best all-around wing. This is probably going to be a value extension that might catch some off guard.

Prediction: Four years, $70,000,000

#19 Saddiq Bey, Atlanta Hawks 

Bey is in a weird spot. The Hawks have a very full roster and a lot of long-term salary on the books. Bey also plays the same position as De’Andre Hunter (already extended) and Jalen Johnson (a year behind on his rookie deal). That probably takes an extension off the board. But re-signing Bey in restricted free agency, depending on how the roster ultimately shakes out, should be on the table. 

Prediction: No extension

#20 Precious Achiuwa, Toronto Raptors

Had Achiuwa’s three-point shooting stayed level, he’d have been a really good extension candidate. But it fell way off, and the Raptors are a team in transition. They’ll probably hold off on signing Achiuwa until they pick a direction with the roster. 

Prediction: No extension

#21 Tyrese Maxey, Philadelphia 76ers

Maxey has become one of the best scoring guards in the league and he’s done it quickly. He can score both on- and off-ball, which is huge for lineup versatility. He’s easily worth the 25% max, given where the Sixers roster is at and where the cap is heading.

Prediction: Five years, $207,350,000 (25% of the cap), no options

#22 Zeke Nnaji, Denver Nuggets 

Nnaji is a good player, but he hasn’t been able to keep a rotation role with the Nuggets. He’ll probably have another chance, as the Nuggets backup bigs will cycle this summer. But that’s not enough to get him extended.

Prediction: No extension.

#23 Leandro Bolmaro, out of the NBA 

Bolmaro is out of the NBA after two non-descript seasons. He returned to Spain after a midseason waiver from the Utah Jazz. Bolmaro also signed a year late, so he would haven’t been extension-eligible anyway.

#24 R.J. Hampton, Detroit Pistons 

Hampton was waived by the Orlando Magic before finishing the season with the Pistons. He’s got a non-guaranteed contract for next season with Detroit. Hampton also had his fourth-year option declined, which would have rendered him unable to extend, had he stayed with Orlando.

#25 Immanuel Quickley, New York Knicks

Quickley is a really fun player. He’s a scoring machine and a solid defender. He’d probably start for a handful of teams around the NBA. The challenge with the Knicks is that starting him and Jalen Brunson would be a tiny backcourt. That keeps Quickley in a bench role, and that limits his upside contract-wise. But the Knicks would do well to get him signed long-term. Something bridging his current role with his potential makes sense, as New York loves to add incentives into their contracts. 

Prediction: Four years, $84,000,000 with incentives that could bring it up to $90,000,000, no options

#26 Payton Pritchard, Boston Celtics 

Pritchard can play, but he got squeezed out in a deep Boston backcourt. He won’t extend unless it’s an overpay, because Pritchard wants to play. And the Celtics aren’t in a spot of overpay anyone, given where their salaries are headed.

Prediction: No extension

#27 Udoka Azubuike, Utah Jazz

Azubuike had his fourth-year team option declined by the Jazz. Given the presence of Walker Kessler on the roster, it’s likely Azubuike will be playing elsewhere next season.

#28 Jaden McDaniels, Minnesota Timberwolves 

McDaniels is very, very good. He’s arguably the best defender of this entire draft class. And he’s a much-improved offensive player. He’s also an ideal big wing to pair with Anthony Edwards long-term. That’s going to get him paid and paid healthily.

Prediction: Four years, $100,000,000, no options

#29 Malachi Flynn, Toronto Raptors

Flynn has had multiple opportunities to take the Raptors backup point guard spot, but injuries and ineffectiveness have kept it from happening. There won’t be an extension here. 

Prediction: No extension

#30 Desmond Bane, Memphis Grizzlies

Bane is the best shooter in his class. He’s also improved greatly as a playmaker and he’s a solid defender. The Grizzlies are very proactive about locking up their own players. Bane is going to be the next one to get paid and he’s probably going to get a max deal too. 

Prediction: Five years, $207,350,000 (25% of the cap), no options

2019 Draft Class

Chuma Okeke, Orlando Magic

Okeke signed a year late, after being drafted while recovering from a torn ACL. Thus, he’s extension-eligible this summer. The challenge is that Okeke has really slipped from what was a productive rookie season. He hasn’t shot well, and the rest of his game hasn’t developed much either.

Prediction: No extension

With most NFL rosters now boasting the maximum 90 players, the time to start considering the road to 53 for 2023, and which players might be "showcasing" themselves for a potential trip to free agency or the trade block next March is here. We've identified a contract from each NFL roster that carries some form of question mark hanging over it.

Active NFL Contracts
2024 NFL Free Agents

	Kyler Murray (QB, 25) Total Contract: 7 years, $265,685,000 Practical Guarantee: $159,797,000 Contract Remaining: 6 years, $235,685,000 Guarantee Remaining: $129,797,000	Murray's injury, combined with a complete overhaul of the front office and coaching staff, appears to have converted the Cardinals into a mini blow-it-up phase - despite $130M of guarantee remaining on their QB1's contract. New GM Monti Ossenfort has plenty of work to do to turn the corner on this blockbuster contract. Murray could have been playing out the 5th year option on his rookie contract in 2023.
	Jonnu Smith (TE, 27) Total Contract: 4 years, $50,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $31,250,000 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $15,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $8,500,000	The good news for Atlanta? New England paid off the overpay part of this contract across the past two seasons, leaving the Falcons with 1 year, $8.5M contract for practical purposes. He'll pair with TE phenom Kyle Pitts this year for what should be a much improved Atlanta roster.
	Roquan Smith (LB, 26) Total Contract: 5 years, $100,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $60,000,000 Contract Remaining: 5 years, $100,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $60,000,000	After opting against paying C.J. Mosley a top of the market off-ball linebacker contract just a few years back, Baltimore pivoted by acquiring, then extending Roquan Smith this winter. He's an elite player, but this is increasingly become a position that teams aren't choosing to pay top dollar for.
	Von Miller (EDGE, 34) Total Contract: 6 years, $120,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $51,435,000 Contract Remaining: 5 years, $100,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $31,790,000	The breadwinner contract of 2022 free agency, Miller played just 11 weeks for the Bills last season, and his knee injury is expected to sideline him through most of the summer - potentially even longer. The 34-year-old is fully guaranteed through the next year and half, but it's not inconceivable to worry that Miller won't ever return to even above average form from here out.
	Miles Sanders (RB, 26) Total Contract: 4 years, $25,400,000 Practical Guarantee: $13,000,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $25,400,000 Guarantee Remaining: $13,000,000	Sanders' $25M total value contract is $7M more than any other running back received this past free agent season, while the $13M fully guaranteed sits $2M above these deals (Montgomery, $11M). The 26-year-old should be able to produce at a high level for the next two seasons, and quite frankly, every pending or prospective free agent running back is relying on it.
	Tremaine Edmunds (LB, 25) Total Contract: 4 years, $72,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $50,000,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $72,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $50,000,000	The Bills knew they were likely going to get outpriced on Edmunds' this free agency, but I'm not sure anyone saw $50M fully guaranteed coming. Age (25) is very much on his side here, as is a Chicago team looking for leadership and a core to build around on the defensive side of the ball. There's reason to believe this will be a great fit for the next 3+ years, but anytime an off-ball linebacker contract like this comes in, there's risk involved.
	La'el Collins (RT, 29) Total Contract: 3 years, $21,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $5,000,000 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $14,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	Collins latched on last March but suffered a torn ACL and MCL around Christmas, torpedoing any kind of value that the Bengals were hoping to gain out of this contract. With no future guarantee remaining, there's a chance Cincinnati opts to move on once Collins can pass a physical.
	Deshaun Watson (QB, 27) Total Contract: 5 years, $230,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $230,000,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $184,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $184,000,000	Obviously. The only way this contract even begins to hold up is with a Super Bowl parade in Cleveland, and even that won't soften the anger that 31 other franchises currently have with how last March went down.
	Michael Gallup (WR, 27) Total Contract: 5 years, $57,500,000 Practical Guarantee: $27,000,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $44,700,000 Guarantee Remaining: $15,000,000	Gallup's return to Dallas on just $27M fully guaranteed was a bit of a shocker, but it's likely the Cowboys had knowledge that he wasn't going to be the same player in return from a torn ACL. Dallas can move off of this 4 year contract after 2023 with no future salary to be paid out.
	Russell Wilson (QB, 34) Total Contract: 7 years, $296,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $161,000,000 Contract Remaining: 6 years, $239,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $104,000,000	Mulligan? Year 1 of the Russ + Broncos experiment included $57M cash, and not a lot of success on the field. Sean Payton is poised to change that over the course of the next three seasons, when Wilson will earn a fully guaranteed $104M.
	Romeo Okwara (DE, 27) Total Contract: 3 years, $37,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $25,000,000 Contract Remaining: 1 year, $2,500,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	The long-time Lion hasn't been able to stay healthy since 2020, sinking any potential value built into the first 2 years, $26M of his most recent extension. Okwara accepted a paycut down to just $2.5M for 2023 in order to stick around, but he'll be headed for free agency next March.
	David Bakhtiari (LT, 31) Total Contract: 5 years, $108,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $61,500,000 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $38,900,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	Bakhtiari is 2 years removed from being graded one of the best offensive lineman in all of football, so to look at this contract as a failure wouldn't be doing it justice. With that said, he's seen action in only 24 games across the last three seasons, despite earning north of $69M in that period of time. Green Bay converted most of his 2023 salary into signing bonus already, so he'll be on Jordan Love's blindside in 2023, but a $40.4M cap hit in 2024 puts everything in question from here out.
	C.J. Stroud (QB, 21) Total Contract: 4 years, $36,279,243 Practical Guarantee: $36,279,243 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $36,279,243 Guarantee Remaining: $36,279,243	The reality here is that the Texans don't have enough viable multi-year contracts to really do any sort of financial damage this year. Their two largest contracts ($75M for LT Tunsil, $36M for G Mason) were both intelligent deals with the knowledge that a rookie QB1 was about to take over. Stroud won't have to do more than show he can handle the speed of the NFL game in 2023, and if he does - look for Houston to go wild in free agency over the next two seasons.
	Matt Gay (K, 29) Total Contract: 4 years, $22,500,000 Practical Guarantee: $13,000,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $22,500,000 Guarantee Remaining: $13,000,000	Matt Gay signed a larger free agent contract than every running back not named Miles Sanders this offseason. Indy is carrying a rookie deal QB1, a rookie deal RB1, and a few rookie deal WRs into 2023, so overspending on a proven kicker (93%+ field goals each of the past two seasons) might end up being good business, despite what can be considered an eye-test overpay from the get go.
	Cam Robinson (OT, 27) Total Contract: 3 years, $54,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $33,000,000 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $35,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	This was supposed to a nice story. Former high draft pick plays out a franchise tag, shows enough to warrant a multi-year extension out of a 2nd franchise tag, and becomes a formidble left tackle for one of the great young QBs in the game for years to come. A Spring PED suspension has derailed that line of thinking, at least temporarily. It also voided the guarantee on his $16M salary for 2023. Robinson will forfeit $933,000 per suspended game this season, and he'll be forced to pay back $277,777 per game missed in earned signing bonus due to the violation.
	Jawaan Taylor (OT, 25) Total Contract: 4 years, $80,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $60,000,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $80,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $60,000,000	To be frank here, it was extremely difficult to find a contract on this Chiefs roster that "scared us". Winning does a lot for a franchise, but providing leverage to sign fair or under-market contracts is definitely one of the bigger perks. If Taylor signed a 3 year, $60M practical deal with the knowledge that he would be a Right Tackle in KC - then he's done extremely well for himself. But if there's even a chance that after 2023, he converts over to cover Patrick Mahomes' blindside, then this contract will be underserving his role. What a nice problem for the Chiefs to have.
	Chandler Jones (DE, 33) Total Contract: 3 years, $51,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $32,000,000 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $34,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $16,000,000	The Raiders had a plethora of needs last March, but bookending Maxx Crosby with a 32+ year old edge rusher at $34M guaranteed probably shouldn't have been as high on the list as it appeared to be. Jones had a fine year, just not one that matches the need + the contract. He's fully guaranteed through 2023, with a clear out available thereafter.
	J.C. Jackson (CB, 27) Total Contract: 5 years, $82,500,000 Practical Guarantee: $40,000,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $54.500,000 Guarantee Remaining: $12,000,000	Always reluctant to question a contract based on injury, but when one of the largest total value free agent contracts of the spring falls flat on its face immediately, it generates cause for concern (Jackson's deal was 2nd only to Von Miller, who also finds himself on this list). As this deal was slightly front-loaded, the Chargers now get Jackson on 2 years, $26M guaranteed through 2025 to try to resurrect his role and stature on LA's defense.
	Joseph Noteboom (OT, 27) Total Contract: 3 years, $40,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $25,000,000 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $28,500,000 Guarantee Remaining: $13,500,000	Replacing Andrew Whitworth was never going to be easy, and a heck of a lot of things went wrong for the Rams last season, but it doesn't appear as though Noteboom is going to be the long term answer for LAR at left tackle, despite $25M fully guaranteed through 2023. The Rams will have until the 5th league day of 2024 to make a decision on this contract going forward.
	Jason Sanders (K, 27) Total Contract: 6 years, $22,920,000 Practical Guarantee: $7,520,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $15,200,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	The Dolphins have signed and acquired a LOT of contracts over the past two offseasons, so to have their biggest question mark deal come down to the kicking position is a testament to how well the recent rebuild has gone to date. Sanders' FG% has been in the 70s the past two seasons, and with all of the guarantees on this contract now expired, it's safe to say this is a bubble deal going forward.
	Dalvin Cook (RB, 27) Total Contract: 6 years, $64,284,650 Practical Guarantee: $28,125,000 Contract Remaining: 3 years, $37,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $2,000,000	Cook might be released out of this contract by the time you're reading this, but for now, $2M of his $11M compensation in 2023 is fully guaranteed with no future early bonuses or guarantees remaining through 2025. It might be Alexander Mattison time in Minnesota.
	Hunter Henry (TE, 28) Total Contract: 3 years, $37,500,000 Practical Guarantee: $25,000,000 Contract Remaining: 1 year, $10,500,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	After a really strong first campaign in New England for the 2021 season (50 catches, 600 yards, 9 TDs), Henry's production fell off of a cliff in 2022, putting his $10.5M owed for 2023 in question. The Patriots most likely see this out, letting Henry walk back into free agency next March just before he hits age 30.
	Andrus Peat (G, 29) Total Contract: 5 years, $57,500,000 Practical Guarantee: $33,850,000 Contract Remaining: 1 year, $5,500,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	Almost nothing has gone well for Peat within this 5 year contract. So much so, he and the Saints agreed to lop off the final year of the contract, and lower his 2023 compensation down to $5.5M. He'll hit the open market next March outside of a miraculous turn around in front of Derek Carr this season.
	Daniel Jones (QB, 26) Total Contract: 4 years, $160,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $92,000,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $160,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $92,000,000	While things are trending upward for the Giants, there are still plenty of unknowns surrounding both Jones, and the roster as a whole. One thing that's for certain? Daniel Jones will see a minimum of $81M over the next 2 seasons, for better or for worse.
	Laken Tomlinson (G, 31) Total Contract: 3 years, $40,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $23,900,000 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $26,100,000 Guarantee Remaining: $10,000,000	Year 1 of a 3 year deal in New York didn't go as planned, but with $10M fully guaranteed for 2023, he'll get the opportunity to rebound with Aaron Rodgers at the helm.Tomlinson's cap hit soars to $18.88M in 2024, so it's likely a make or break year.
	Jordan Mailata (LT, 26) Total Contract: 5 years, $69,650,000 Practical Guarantee: $40,850,000 Contract Remaining: 3 years, $50,800,000 Guarantee Remaining: $15,000,000	The Eagles contract to production ratio across the board is nearly flawless right now. Mailata finds himself here due to a slight regression in 2023 after back to back outstanding campaigns. Any sort of bounce back in the upcoming season will more than justify at least two more years on this deal.
	Chris Boswell (K, 32) Total Contract: 5 years, $23,325,000 Practical Guarantee: $12,500,000 Contract Remaining: 4 years, $13,500,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	After three straight seasons with a 90% or better field goal hit rate, Boswell's 2022 figure dropped to under 70%, despite reeling in nearly $10M cash last season. His salaries flatten out from here, including $4M for 2023, and no early guarantees thereafter.
	Trey Lance (QB, 23) Total Contract: 4 years, $34,105,275 Practical Guarantee: $34,105,275 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $9,071,194 Guarantee Remaining: $9,071,194	$9M guaranteed remaining for a potential franchise quarterback isn't usually cause for concern, but with so much uncertainty at the most important position in football, it's hard not put Lance's status in question. If Brock Purdy can regain and hold the starting gig again in 2023, look for Lance to loudly hit the trade block next March, just before his 5th year option decision will need to be made.
	Jamal Adams (S, 27) Total Contract: 5 years, $80,440,000 Practical Guarantee: $38,000,000 Contract Remaining: 3 years, $45,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $2,560,000	Two first round picks, a third round pick, and $39M cash. That's what the Seahawks have given up for 25 Jamal Adams games over the past 3 seasons. Unfortunately his recovery from recent injury currently comes with no timeline for return, so Seattle is at risk of handing out another $11M cash this season with very little production in return. Adams' contract offers a clear out after 2023, with $14.2M of dead cap against a $23.6M cap hit.
	Russell Gage (WR, 27) Total Contract: 3 years, $30,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $20,000,000 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $17,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $7,000,000	The Buccaneers have trimmed most of their contractual fat this offseason, leaving behind a few potential rebound scenarios (Ryan Jensen, Shaq Barrett). Gage has been productive for the Bucs, but as a clearcut #3 option in the passing game, $20M guaranteed seems more than a team should be willing to bite off.
	Ryan Tannehill (QB, 34) Total Contract: 4 years, $118,000,000 Practical Guarantee: $91,000,000 Contract Remaining: 1 years, $27,000,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	The Titans have used back to back draft classes to try to find Ryan Tannehill's successor, but neither Malik Willis or Will Levis appear ready to take on that role just yet. Tannehill likely plays out the final year of his deal in Tennessee, though a late summer or deadline trade wouldn't be too crazy to imagine either.
	Logan Thomas (TE, 31) Total Contract: 4 years, $26,475,000 Practical Guarantee: $10,300,000 Contract Remaining: 2 years, $13,565,000 Guarantee Remaining: $0	Injury, recovery, & a lack of adequate QB play around him have factored into very little production from 2 years, $13M of Thomas' contract. It appears Washington will give him a 1 year, $7M chance to rebound in 2023, with a very clear out thereafter ($1.75M of 2024 dead cap).

As the calendar flips to June, 5 NFL teams will receive salary cap adjustments thanks to June 1st Designation releases in the past few weeks. Our look at each of the 8 players who were released with this designation, including the dead cap ramifications, and respective cap savings for this and next season.

Team Cap Savings

Brandon McManus (K, Broncos)

2023 Cap Savings: $3,750,000
2023 Dead Cap: $1,231,250
2024 Cap Savings: $3,950,000
2024 Dead Cap: $1,231,250

McManus’ release was a bit of a surprise, as the Broncos don’t yet have a known replacement at the kicker position for the upcoming season. But with $3.75M to be freed up come June 2nd, business became a priority here. The 31-year-old quickly signed on with the Jaguars to continue his career. UPDATE: The Broncos have signed Elliott Fry to compete for McManus' old gig.

Jadeveon Clowney (DE, Browns)

2023 Cap Savings: $1,165,000
2023 Dead Cap: $1,600,000
2024 Cap Savings: $0
2024 Dead Cap: $4,800,000

Clowney's 1 year deal with Cleveland included 4 voidable years, but the Browns built in a minimum salary for 2023 to allow them the opportunity to split up the $6.4M of dead cap as such. The 30-year-old remains unsigned as the calendar flips to June.

John Johnson (S, Browns)

2023 Cap Savings: $9,750,000
2023 Dead Cap: $3,750,000
2024 Cap Savings: $0
2024 Dead Cap: $8,850,000

Johnson played 31 games for the Browns over the past two seasons amidst a 3 year, $33.75M contract, but still finds himself looking for work in 2023. He earned $24M across 2021-2022 after $4.8M reeled in on his rookie deal with the Rams. Cleveland will free up $9.75M of cap space on June 2nd, taking on $3.75M of dead cap while pushing the remaining $8.85M into the 2024 season.

J.J. Watt (DE, Cardinals)

2023 Cap Savings: $1,165,000
2023 Dead Cap: $2,400,000
2024 Cap Savings: $0
2024 Dead Cap: $4,800,000

While Watt rode off into the sunset months ago, his contract was held in place in order to process his release/retirement after June 1st for salary cap purposes. Arizona built in a minimum base salary to 2023 in order to open up the possibility for a Post 6/1 move, so the Cardinals will free up just $1.165M of space on June 2nd.

Rodney Hudson (C, Cardinals)

2023 Cap Savings: $3,050,000
2023 Dead Cap: $1,760,000
2024 Cap Savings: $0
2024 Dead Cap: $3,520,000

Like Watt, Hudson’s retirement is being processed after June 1st for cap purposes, offering up an additional $3.05M of savings come June 2nd. Hudson & Watt will account for a combined $8.32M of dead cap in 2024.

Chase Roullier (C, Commanders)

2023 Cap Savings: $8,370,000
2023 Dead Cap: $4,050,000
2024 Cap Savings: $10,160,000
2024 Dead Cap: $4,050,000

Back-to-back injury-filled seasons (10 games played across 2021-2022) and a cap figure approaching $12.5M this year forced Washington’s hand here. The 29-year-old earned $23.3M of a possible $42.3M on his extension, and will look to latch on in a depth role somewhere once he returns to full health. The Commanders will open up $8.37M of cap space this year on June 2nd, freeing up another $10.16M in 2024 per this transaction.

Ezekiel Elliott (RB, Cowboys)

2023 Cap Savings: $10,900,000
2023 Dead Cap: $5,820,000
2024 Savings: $9,180,000
2024 Dead Cap: $6,040,000

Though still a productive back (especially in terms of finding the endzone), Elliott’s contract was always going to be too rich to handle after year 4. The near 28-year-old earned $50.1M of a potential $93M tied to this contract, and remains an available free agent as the offseason flips to June. His release opens up $10.9M of cap space for the Cowboys on June 2nd, with another $9.18M freed up in 2024.

Byron Jones (CB, Dolphins)

2023 Cap Savings: $13,600,000
2023 Dead Cap: $4,751,000
2024 Cap Savings: $8,723,000
2024 Dead Cap: $10,053,000

Jones signed a 5 year, $82.5M contract with the Dolphins in March of 2020, the largest contract of that free agent season. The deal offered $54M in practical guarantee through the 2022 season, putting the 2023 offseason as the first available potential out. An achilles injury buried his 2022 season in Miami, and the recovery process hasn’t shown favorable results, forcing the Dolphins to move on from the 30-year-old this past March. Miami will open up $13.6M of cap space on June 2nd, while also freeing up $8.7M for the 2024 season.

Is he just not accepting his role as a backup yet? A quick scan around the league puts the Packers and Vikings as decent landing spots for Wentz as a QB2, who shouldn’t cost more than $2.5Mish right now. 

HM: Teddy Bridgewater, Nick Foles, MORE

RB Ezekiel Elliott

Despite the negative aura surrounding his contract the past few years - Zeke has been productive, finishing 2022 with 968 YFS and 12 TDs. He’s a step or two behind right now, but the Chargers & Rams seem like easy fits here, with a 1 year, $2M deal + incentives likely in the cards. 

HM: Leonard Fournette, Kareem Hunt, MORE

WR Jarvis Landry

The production has fallen off of a cliff the past two years and a 2022 hamstring injury has him near rock bottom currently, but at just 30 years old, Landry should still be able to help a contender. A platoon role in Minnesota to help replace Adam Thielen’s production seems a good fit, and vet. Minimum contract is about right as well.

HM: Kenny Golladay, Byron Pringle, MORE

TE Anthony Firkser

He’s only a year removed from back to back 30+ catch seasons and just turned 28. It stands to reason there’s production left in the tank in a depth role for 2023, and the
Rams, Saints & Broncos could still add a body here. It’s a vet minimum deal at best.

HM: Cameron Brate, Cethan Carter MORE

OL Ben Jones

The 33 year old center has posted 4 straight 70+ PFF graded seasons in Tennessee. Teams like the Panthers, Texans, Colts, etc who are starting over with a 20 something QB should be all in on a veteran presence like this. 

HM: Taylor Lewan, Gabe Jackson MORE

DL Chris Wormley

He’s been both a run stuffer and an interior line pass rusher in his 6 year career but is recovering from a torn ACL last December. If he can rehab himself to full strength around training camp time, he could be a late summer sleeper addition on the cheap.

HM: Shelby Harris, Justin Ellis, MORE

EDGE Frank Clark

Clark’s free agency has been radio silent to date, which seems strange for a 29 year old edge rusher with 60 career sacks and a ton of postseason experience. It’s possible his asking price remains too high, or that he and the Chiefs have a wink wink deal in the works, but fringe contenders like Seattle, Detroit, and the Jets should be very interested still. 

HM: Leonard Floyd, Yannick Ngakoue, MORE

LB Kyle Van Noy

He’s bounced around a bit of late but still holds value as a depth/platoon player in the middle of a good defense. The Chargers, Steelers, or Patriots should consider his services for the upcoming season, with a 1 year, $2M redo of last year’s contract in mind.

HM: Zach Cunningham, Anthony Barr, MORE

CB Marcus Peters

Walks away from a crowded Ravens’ secondary looking for a fresh fit this summer. Peters is still a near $10M per year player in our system, but he’ll need to accept something around half of that in base value with incentives to build up his pay at this point. The Niners & Seahawks seem likely to have interest here.

HM: William Jackson, Eli Apple, MORE

S John Johnson

He’s just 27 years old and while his tenure in Cleveland wasn’t a match made in heaven, there’s reason to believe the player that turned heads in LA a few years ago can still exist. If he drops down to a minimum price tag, don’t sleep on a team like the Bills coming in late to add depth to the aging Hyde/Poyer duo.

HM: Adrian Amos, LaMarcus Joyner, MORE

S/T Robbie Gould

The 40-year-old has officially been replaced in San Francisco, but would like to continue his illustrious career on a team worth his time. He hit 84% of his field goals, 98% of his PATs a year ago, and seems likely to be reeled in at around the $2M mark this summer - especially as young kickers are evaluated in OTAs.

HM: Mason Crosby, Aaron Brewer MORE
