NFL Football 24-Hour Briefing
×Contract Extensions & Restructures
Nine-time Pro Bowler Khalil Mack reached a one-year deal to remain with the Chargers worth $18 million. The Vikings and tight end T.J. Hockenson agreed to restructure his contract, saving the team more than $5 million in cap space. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley will remain with the Ravens after agreeing to a two-year deal worth up to $11 million. The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a four-year contract extension with kicker Eddy Piñeiro worth a total of $17 million with $10 million in guarantees.
Trades & Acquisitions
Faced with the possibility of losing Quay Walker in free agency, the Packers sent DT Colby Wooden to the Colts in exchange for LB Zaire Franklin. The Ravens acquired Maxx Crosby from the Raiders on Friday, with the longtime Raiders star expressing appreciation for his time with Mark Davis' franchise in a video published to his social media accounts Saturday. Baltimore had to give up two first-round picks to get Crosby, but analysts say he can dominate in the Ravens' defense.
Record-Breaking Deals
The Eagles and defensive tackle Jordan Davis have reached agreement on a three-year, $78 million extension that includes $65 million guaranteed. This marks one of the largest contracts ever for an interior defensive lineman. The Cowboys have placed a $5.7 million second-round tender on kicker Brandon Aubrey, hoping to sign the Pro Bowler to a multiyear extension.
Retirements & Free Agency
Rams cornerback Darious Williams has retired after 100 regular-season NFL games. Following Williams' retirement, Los Angeles still has four pending free agents at cornerback. As NFL free agency begins next week, analysts are evaluating which players might be overrated or underrated, with some questioning whether Travis Etienne Jr. might be a risky signing.
The Seahawks acquired Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline last November, where he became a pivotal part of their Super Bowl team. Questions remain about whether the playoff hero will return to Seattle in 2026. With free agency approaching, teams across the league are making strategic moves to position themselves for the upcoming season while managing their salary cap situations.
