NFL News Roundup: The Latest Updates from Around the League
The NFL offseason is in full swing, and teams are making moves to prepare for the upcoming season. From quarterback contract extensions to roster cuts, there’s been no shortage of news in the league. In this article, we’ll break down the latest updates from around the league and what they mean for your favorite teams.
Quarterback Contracts: A Growing Concern?
With every new quarterback contract, the numbers seem to get bigger and bigger. Joe Burrow’s recent extension with the Cincinnati Bengals is a prime example, with the quarterback earning an average of $55 million per year. This has led some NFL owners to discuss the possibility of a separate cap on quarterback salaries, similar to the NBA’s “max” and “supermax” restrictions. However, the idea hasn’t gained much traction, and it’s unclear if it will become a reality.
Roster Moves and Signings
The Dallas Cowboys are working out defensive end Jonathan Garvin, who has spent time with the Green Bay Packers and in the UFL. The Los Angeles Chargers have signed wide receiver Ladd McConkey, their second-round pick. The New York Jets have signed offensive linemen Vitaliy Gurman and Kohl Levao. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers have cut wide receiver Denzel Mims and safety Trenton Thompson.

The NFL is a league of constant change, and teams must adapt to stay competitive.
