NFL NEWS ROUNDUP

Contract Extensions Galore

Travis Kelce, AJ Brown, and Devonta Smith are celebrating big paydays with recent contract extensions. Kelce, now the NFL's highest-paid tight end with an Average Annual Value of $17.4 million, solidifies his place as a cornerstone for the Chiefs through the 2025 season. Brown and Smith's multi-year extensions bolster the Eagles' receiving corps, providing Jalen Hurts with formidable targets for the next several years.

UDFA Class Takes Shape

While the NFL Draft has concluded, teams are actively shaping their rosters with undrafted free agents (UDFAs). This year boasts one of the largest UDFA classes in recent memory. Notable signings include RB Frank Gore Jr. to the Bills, WR Jalen Coker to the Panthers, and QB Jason Bean to the Colts. History reminds us that undrafted gems like Tony Romo, Antonio Gates, and Priest Holmes have emerged, making these rookies worth monitoring as training camp approaches.

5th Year Option Decisions

First-round picks from the 2021 NFL Draft, now entering their fourth seasons, face pivotal decisions as teams must choose whether to exercise their fifth-year options. Of the 32 selected players, 18 had their options picked up, securing their futures with their current teams. Notably, the Pittsburgh Steelers opted not to exercise the options for Justin Fields and Najee Harris. Meanwhile, stars like Kyle Pitts, Jaylen Waddle, and Devonta Smith have their contracts already secured. With yesterday's deadline passed, 14 members of the 2021 first-round class are poised to hit free agency after the 2025 season.
