Laremy Tunsil Wants New Deal To 'Reset' Tackle Market

Dec 29, 2022 8:38 AM

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil wants to be the highest-paid tackle in football.

"I don't know who's the highest right now, maybe Trent [Williams] at 23 [million], but I want to top that," Tunsil said. "Always want to reset the market. Perfect opportunity to reset the market. Everything is lining up as far as my contract to how I'm playing. Everything lining up perfectly."

Tunsil said he plans to renegotiate his deal in the offseason. He will be entering the final season of his three-year, $66 million extension that he signed in 2020. 

Williams became the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history -- at $23,010,000 per season -- after signing a six-year, $138.06 million deal with the San Francisco 49ers in March 2021.

Elgton Jenkins, Packers Agree To Four-Year, $68M Extension

Dec 23, 2022 11:04 AM

Elgton Jenkins and the Green Bay Packers have agreed to a four-year, $68 million contract extension. The deal could be worth up to $74 million with incentives and keep him with the Packers through the 2026 season.

If he stays at guard, he will be the second-highest paid at the position behind only the Colts' Quenton Nelson ($20 million per year). If Jenkins moves to left tackle where he did last season in place of David Bakhtiari, he would be among the top-10 highest paid.

Jenkins would have become a free agent in March.

Cowboys Less Likely To Sign Odell Beckham Jr.

Dec 20, 2022 12:13 PM

Jerry Jones believes it is appearing less likely that the Dallas Cowboys sign Odell Beckham Jr. this season.

"As of this morning we don't have anything," Jones said, adding, "The reality is though that time is moving on down the road relative to playing in the playoffs and so every day diminishes our chances of going forward."

If Beckham joined the Cowboys, the plan was to place him on injured reserve after he spent a day on the active roster as he returns from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee suffered in last season's Super Bowl. He would have to miss four games on injured reserve, which if he were to sign this week, would mean he would miss at least the wild-card round of the playoffs.

T.Y. Hilton Signs With Cowboys

Dec 12, 2022 4:18 PM

T.Y. Hilton has signed with the Dallas Cowboys.

Hilton, who had contemplated retirement before deciding if he wanted to play an 11th season, saw his production continue to slip with the Indianapolis Colts in 2021, catching only 23 passes for 331 yards and three touchdowns as he saw action in only 10 games.

Odell Beckham Jr. visited the Cowboys last week, but he is not as close to a return as they had previously assumed.

Dec 9, 2022 8:48 AM

After leading the Los Angeles Rams to a comeback win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night, Baker Mayfield said he had a hunch the team would claim him.

Released by the Carolina Panthers on Monday, Mayfield was claimed the Los Angeles just two days before they faced the Raiders.

Mayfield completed 22 of 35 passes for 230 yards and the game-winning touchdown despite not knowing the Rams' full offense.
