The three-year contract extension reportedly for $54.15 million with $42.6 million in guarantees offensive tackle just received from the was not included because of a lack of verified details on the deal.

Conce sions were made by the Cowboys in nearly every major aspect of the deal. Prescott's $66 million signing bonus is the largest in league history. None of the signing bonus is deferred to 2022, making Prescott's 2021 compensation a record-setting $75 million. His $95 million fully guaranteed at signing is the most ever in an NFL contract. Prescott also sets a new standard in first three new years compensation, which averages $42 million per year. The only area where the Cowboys got a slight break is with the contract's length. Prescott only wanted to sign for four years during last year's negotiations while Dallas was insisting on a five-year deal.

SEA DE #99 Contract value: $63 million/3 years ($21 million yearly average) Contract guarantees: $45 million ($22.5 million signing bonus) Fully guaranteed at signing: $45 million Earliest realistic exit point: 2023 ($45 million earned) Williams, who was designated as a franchise player by the for a second year in a row at $19,351,200, capitalized on a tremendous contract year in which he tied for seventh in the NFL with a career-high 11.5 sacks last season. Williams' $45 million guaranteed is the most ever in a Giants contract. The 26-year-old Williams is well-positioned to collect another big payday with an extension in 2023 or from 2024 free agency, after the new media-rights deals have kicked in, because a third and final franchise tag on him will be $36.72 million, 144% of his $25.5 million 2023 cap number, at a minimum. SF OT #71 Contract value: $138.06 million/6 years ($23.01 million yearly average) Contract guarantees: $45.1 million ($30.1 million signing bonus) Fully guaranteed at signing: $40.1 million Three-year cash flow: $60.75 million Earliest realistic exit point: 2024 ($60.75 million earned) Williams is the NFL's highest-paid offensive tackle at $23.01 million per year, eclipsing the $23 million per year received from the in a four-year extension last season.

The deal is structured with the having to exercise an option for the final three years (2024 through 2026) worth $77.31 million by April 1, 2023. An additional $10 million of Williams' $19.4 million 2023 base salary becomes fully guaranteed with the option being picked up.

Thuney also raised the bar for overall guarantees in offensive guard contracts. There's an additional $4 million which can become fully guaranteed that isn't included in the $46.89 million. Two million (which is currently unsecured) of Thuney's $15.5 million 2024 base salary is fully guaranteed on the third day of the 2024 league year. The same holds true with respect to 2025, where the guarantee date is the third day of that league year. Thuney is behind only in money fully guaranteed at signing. The Cowboys right guard has $32 million. NYG WR #19 Contract value: $72 million/4 years ($18 million yearly average) Contract guarantees: $40 million ($17 million signing bonus) Fully guaranteed at signing: $28 million Three-year cash flow: $54 million Earliest realistic exit point: 2023 ($54 million earned) The expectation was Golladay would be the primary beneficiary of the and designating and as franchise players. Golladay's market was slow to develop before the Giants signed him Brandon Shell Jersey . Nonethele s, he ties Odell Beckham Jr., who signed a five-year, $90 million extension in 2018 with the Giants before getting traded to the le s than a year later, as the league's sixth highest-paid wide receiver at $18 million per year. Incentives make Golladay's deal worth as much as $76 million. DEN FS #31 Contract value: $61 million/4 years ($15.25 million yearly average) Contract guarantees: $35 million ($15 million signing bonus) Fully guaranteed at signing: $32.1 million Three-year cash flow: $46.5 million Earliest realistic exit point: 2024 ($46.5 million earned) The made sure Simmons wasn't going anywhere by giving him a franchise tag for a second straight year.

Pa s rushers were the hottest commodities in free agency. Five other edge rushers besides Barrett (, , , Matthew Judon and ) signed multiyear contracts averaging either at least $15 million per year or with $30 million or more in guarantees. Somewhat surprisingly, none of the edge rushers were able to top the deal received from the in free agency two years ago. Flowers signed a five-year, $90 million contract containing $56 million in guarantees where $40 million was fully guaranteed at signing. Barrett can make as much $76 million with his deal because of $4 million in salary escalators for 2023 and 2024 based on sacks. LAC C #63 Contract value:$62.5 million/5 years ($12.5 million yearly average)Contract guarantees:$26 million ($13 million signing bonus)Fully guaranteed at signing:$17 millionThree-year cash flow:$36.5 millionEarliest realistic exit point:2023 ($26 million earned)Linsley, who earned All-Pro honors in 2020, replaces as the NFL's highest-paid center.

The Colts gave Kelly $34 million in guarantees, of which $25.35 million was fully guaranteed at signing. Nine million of Linsley's $26 million in guarantees doesn't become fully guaranteed until next March on the second day of the 2022 league year. This gives the an out after the first year but things would have to go really wrong for Linsley to be released before vesting occurs since only $1.2 million of salary cap room would be gained unle s a post-June 1 designation is used. ATL OLB #48 Contract value: $82 million/5 years ($16.5 million yearly average) Contract guarantees: $35 million ($16 million signing bonus) Fully guaranteed at signing: $33.75 million Three-year cash flow: $51 million Earliest realistic exit point: 2023 ($34 million earned) Dupree is the latest example of a serious injury in a contract year no longer being the ki s of death financially for free agency. He was well on his way to his second consecutive double digit sack season with the when he tore his right ACL in early December. Dupree had eight sacks in 11 games. He expects to be 100 percent by the time training camps open during the latter part of July. Dupree's five year contract is worth up to $85 million with incentives. ARI DE #99 Contract value: $28 million/2 years ($14 million yearly average)Contract guarantees: $23 million ($12 million signing bonus)Fully guaranteed at signing: $20 millionEarliest realistic exit point: None ($28 million earned)Watt chose the after the Texans granted his request to be released partially because of his familiarity with defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. He was the Texans' defensive backs coach during Watt's first three years in the NFL (2011-13). Joseph's defensive scheme is very similar to the one Watt was in during his 10 years with the Texans. Watt's deal is worth a maximum of $31 million through salary escalators and incentives. Three contract years for 2023 through 2025 automatically voiding on the last day of the 2022 league year were added in order to prorate Watt's $12 million signing bonus over five years instead of two to help combat the $15.7 million drop in the salary cap. This makes the annual bonus proration $2.4 million for five years rather than $6 million in 2021 and 2022. Watt's 2021 cap number is $4.9 million when it would have been $8.5 million without the inclusion of the voiding/dummy years. There is a cost to manipulating the salary cap in this manner. The Cardinals will have a $7.2 million cap charge in 2023 when Watt's 2023 through 2025 contract years void that March from the signing bonus proration a sociated with those years. MIA TE #81 Contract value: $50 million/4 years ($12.5 million yearly average) Contract guarantees: $31.25 million ($15 million signing bonus) Fully guaranteed at signing: $31.25 million Three-year cash flow: $38 million Earliest realistic exit point: 2024 ($38 million earned) Smith exceeded all reasonable expectations in becoming the NFL's third highest-paid tight end behind and , whose contracts with the 49ers and , respectively, average $15 million and $14,312,500 per year. Smith's $31.25 million is the most ever fully guaranteed in a tight end contract. NE TE #85 Contract value: $37.5 million/3 years ($12.5 million yearly average)Contract guarantees: $25 million ($15 million signing bonus)Fully guaranteed at signing: $25 millionEarliest realistic exit point: 2023 ($27 million earned)Henry hit the open market after the Chargers decided against giving him a second franchise tag for $12,728,400. Where Henry landed was more surprising than his deal since the had already signed to a $12.5 million-per-year contract. The Patriots are trying to replicate the two-tight end succe s of the early 2010s when and Aaron Hernandez were the league's two highest-paid tight ends. MIN RB Rashaad Penny Jersey #33 Contract value: $48 million/4 years ($12 million yearly average)Contract guarantees: $13 million (all signing bonus)Fully guaranteed at signing: $13 millionThree-year cash flow: $36 millionEarliest realistic exit point: 2023 ($20 million earned) Free agency hasn't been kind to running backs in recent years except for , who signed for $52.5 million over four years worth a maximum of $60.15 million with the in 2019. Jones is slightly better off over the next two years with his $20 million than if Packers had gone year to year by franchising him twice. The 2021 running back number is $8.655 million. A second designation in 2022 would have been $10.386 million. As expected, Jones' only guaranteed money is his signing bonus. This is customary in Green Bay veteran contracts. Quarterback is the lone exception. His contracts have had salary guarantees. Jones' unsecured $3.75 million and $7 million third day of the league year roster bonuses in 2022 and 2023 are supposed to be substitutes for additional contract guarantees. In 2023, Jones faces a dicey proposition because his salary balloons $16 million. Salary escalators make the maximum value of the deal $48.75 million. CAR CB #20 Contract value: $40 million/3 years ($13,333,333 yearly average) Contract guarantees: $29 million ($12 million signing bonus) Fully guaranteed at signing: $24.5 million Earliest realistic exit point: 2022 ($31 million earned) Griffin, Adoree Jackson and signed similar three-year contracts with a base value in the $13 million- to $13.5 million-per-year range.

SF FB #44 Contract value: $27 million/5 years ($5.4 million yearly average) Contract guarantees: $9.6 million ($4 million signing bonus) Fully guaranteed at signing: $8.35 million Three-year cash flow: $14.5 Million Earliest realistic exit point: 2023 ($9.6 million earned) Juszczyk continues to easily set the fullback market with his new contract.
