The latest on 32 NFL contract extension negotiatio...

playDamien Woody: Bucs are playing a dangerous game with Baker Mayfield (1:32) As we move through the NFL offseason and await training camp -- which starts at the end of July -- a number of big names have uncertain contract situations. So, we asked all 32 of our team reporters to provide an update on where things stand for players who could get paid in the near future. What is the latest on potential new deals for quarterbacks C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young and Baker Mayfield? Could running back Jahmyr Gibbs and cornerback Devon Witherspoon reset the market at their respective positions? Let's start with the Bills before hitting on the other 31 teams. Here's what we're hearing on extension candidates around the league. Jump to: ARI | ATL | BAL | BUF | CAR | CHI | CIN CLE | DAL | DEN | DET | GB | HOU | IND JAX | KC | LAC | LAR | LV | MIA | MIN NE | NO | NYG | NYJ | PHI | PIT | SF SEA | TB | TEN | WSH There has been interest from both sides in keeping the Bills' starting right guard of the past three seasons around for years to come. Unlike last year, when Buffalo addressed a variety of contract extensions in the spring, it prioritized deals impacting this upcoming season. Torrence was present for all of the offseason workouts open to the media and, as far back as January, expressed his understanding of the business side of the league. General manager Brandon Beane has a history of getting extensions done just before or early in the season. -- Alaina Getzenberg General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan identified running back De'Von Achane, center Aaron Brewer and Brooks as the three "pillars" the team wants to build around -- and said it would prioritize extending those players in that order. Miami has reached extension agreements with Achane and Brewer, leaving Brooks as the lone unsigned pillar. Brooks has expressed multiple times his interest in remaining with the Dolphins long term, and Miami isn't exactly flush with extension-eligible players. Despite the massive roster churn over the past several months and the team drafting a pair of off-ball linebackers, it's likely that Miami reaches an agreement with the NFL's leading tackler from a season ago. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques When Gonzalez met with reporters after the first day of mandatory minicamp on June 9, he was asked whether he would play this season without a new contract. The initial part of his answer was: "We got a long time to the season." The sides are expected to continue discussing an extension, with the next checkpoint coming July 24, when most veterans are scheduled to report for training camp. Gonzalez would face fines for not reporting but could be a hold-in if a deal isn't reached by that point. -- Mike Reiss The Jets exercised McDonald's fifth-year option for 2027 ($13.75 million), so they have him under contract for two years at $16.75 million -- a relative bargain. There's no rush to get anything done long term. They will let him play out the 2026 season and reevaluate at that point. And now that right guard Joe Tippmann (four years, $62 million) is extended, too, the Jets have their contract extensions done for the year. -- Rich Cimini It wouldn't be surprising if Flowers and the Ravens reach an extension before the start of the season, which is exactly what happened with safety Kyle Hamilton last year. Flowers wants to stay, saying he would like to play his entire career in Baltimore. General manager Eric DeCosta believes it's important to keep Flowers, who has developed into a leader on offense. "The goal would be to get a long-term deal with him if we can," DeCosta said during the draft. "And I fully expect we will." The Ravens picked up Flowers' fifth-year option, which will pay him $27.298 million in 2027. Flowers' extension will likely average over $35 million per season, which would put him among the four highest-paid wide receivers. -- Jamison Hensley The Bengals know that getting Hill and fellow cornerback DJ Turner II under new deals could be a challenge given the going rate for players at their position. A soft estimate puts the baseline around $20 million per year. Hill, who had his fifth-year option exercised, closed 2025 strongly after coming off an ACL injury the previous season. Throughout his time with the Bengals, he has given Cincinnati a lot of positional versatility in the secondary. But just how much the Bengals value him and how a potential deal fits into the long-term picture remains to be seen. -- Ben Baby Although the Browns traded Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, general manager Andrew Berry said he wants to keep Ward, and the five-time Pro Bowler also expressed his commitment to Cleveland. Ward has two years remaining on a five-year extension he signed in 2022 but no more guaranteed salary. Ward didn't participate in mandatory minicamp -- coach Todd Monken said he won't comment on the nature of the cornerback's absence -- but a new deal that offers additional guarantees could be on the horizon. -
