A.J. Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a three-year, $96 million extension. The $84 million is the most guaranteed money in NFL history for a wide receiver, surpassing the $77 million guaranteed that Amon-Ra St. Brown recently received from the Detroit Lions. 

Brown's $32 million average annual value is also the highest for any receiver in the NFL.

Earlier this month, the Eagles signed DeVonta Smith to a three-year extension worth $75 million with $51 million guaranteed.

Penei Sewell has agreed to a four-year, $112 million extension with the Detroit Lions. The deal makes Sewell the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL.

Sewell's deal includes $85 million in guaranteed money.

Sewell was the seventh overall pick in 2021 out of Oregon and was a First-team All-Pro selection in 2023.

Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions have agreed to a four-year contract extension worth more than $120 million with $72 million guaranteed. 

St. Brown was a fourth round pick in 2021 out of USC and is coming off his first All-Pro selection in 2023.

Last season, St. Brown caught 119 balls for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns.

The Cincinnati Bengals have rewarded Jake Browning with a two-year contract.

The deal for the backup quarterback runs through the 2025 season.

After Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury in Week 11, Browning stepped in and started the final seven games and finished the 2023 season by completing 70.3% of his passes for 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.

J.K. Dobbins plans to sign a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers.

The move reunites him with Greg Roman, his former offensive coordinator in Baltimore, as well as his former Ravens backfield mate Gus Edwards.

DeVonta Smith and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a three-year extension worth $75 million with $51 million guaranteed.

The team also exercised Smith's fifth-year option, which will pay Smith a salary of around $16 million for the 2025 campaign.

Smith becomes the NFL's fifth wide receiver to average $25 million or more per season, joining Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins ($30 million), Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders ($28 million), Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams ($26.7 million) and Smith's teammate, A.J. Brown ($25 million).

Smith, 25, has 240 catches for 3,178 yards and 19 touchdowns over three seasons with the Eagles. 

DeForest Buckner has agreed to a two-year extension with the Indianapolis Colts worth $46 million.

Buckner was entering the final year of a four-year, $84 million contract signed after joining the Colts in a trade from the San Francisco 49ers in 2020, when he was a first-team All-Pro selection.

For the 30-year-old Buckner, the $23 million average annual value in his new deal ranks fifth among defensive tackles, behind Kansas City's Chris Jones (31.75 million), Las Vegas' Christian Wilkins ($27.5 million), Baltimore's Justin Madubuike ($24.5 million) and Carolina's Derrick Brown ($24 million).

Hines Ward has been hired as Arizona State's next wide receivers coach, the school announced Sunday.

"I am truly honored to join Arizona State University football as wide receivers coach," Ward, the Super Bowl XL MVP and two-time Super Bowl champion, said in a statement Sunday. "It's an incredible opportunity to share my passion for the game with a group of talented young men and help them reach their full potential. The culture and energy here in the Valley is special and I can't wait to be part of it."

The Seattle Seahawks are signing veteran guard Laken Tomlinson to a one-year deal, a source confirmed to ESPN on Friday.

The deal is worth up to $4 million, a source told ESPN.

Tomlinson, 32, was released by the New York Jets in February. He gives the Seahawks an experienced and durable starter to help fill one of their biggest remaining holes.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed cornerback Kevin King, who hasn't played in an NFL game since 2021.

King missed the 2022 season due to personal reasons and missed the 2023 season after tearing his Achilles tendon during an offseason workout. 

A former second-round pick, King played five seasons with the Green Bay Packers, the team that drafted him in 2017.
