Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has agreed to a three-year extension that could reportedly reach up to $75 million with the team. In order to reach that $75 million mark, Robinson needs to hit multiple incentives. On the surface, his deal is actually a three-year, $66.75 million contract with $51 million guaranteed.
After back to back 1000 yd seasons, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers also received a massive extension Tuesday, reportedly agreeing to terms on a four-year, $140 million deal with $108 million guaranteed.
The Chicago Bears have locked down a key Caleb Williams protector.
The Bears reached a new four-year, $116 million deal with offensive lineman Darnell Wright on Tuesday afternoon. Wright will receive $93 million guaranteed, too. The deal is now the richest in NFL history for a right tackle, surpassing the mark that Detroit Lions lineman Penei Sewell previously set with his four-year, $112 million deal.
The Arizona Cardinals announced that rookie quarterback Carson Beck will start the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday against the Carolina Panthers. Beck will face off against Panthers starter Kenny Pickett. Beck’s last pass in a game was intercepted by IU’s Jamiri Sharp to end the national championship game.
