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.

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. 

Sacramento State's Troy Taylor has been named the new football coach at Stanford, the school announced on Saturday.

Taylor, who graduated from Cal, has been the coach at Sacramento State since 2019. The Hornets were upset by Incarnate Word in the quarterfinal round of the FCS playoffs on Friday night, paving the way for Taylor's move to Stanford.

"I am thrilled to be the new head football coach at Stanford University," Taylor said in a statement.

The Los Angeles Rams have claimed Baker Mayfield on waivers.

The Rams will now inherit the remaining $1.35 million on Mayfield's contract.

Mayfield could play for the Rams in Thursday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. 

The San Francisco 49ers have signed Josh Johnson off the practice squad of the Denver Broncos.

The 49ers lost Jimmy Garoppolo to a season-ending foot injury on Sunday.

Johnson has been a member of 14 different teams during his 13-year career. Johnson was previously with the 49ers in 2014 and 2020-21.

Deion Sanders will be the next coach at Colorado, the school announced on Saturday night, instantly making him one of the most compelling hires in college football this generation.

Sanders comes with just three years experience coaching college football, as he went 27-5 as Jackson State's coach. Jackson State (12-0) completed an undefeated regular season on Saturday with a 43-24 blowout of Southern for the SWAC championship.
