Lions | Jack Campbell agrees to extension with Detroit Fri May 22, 02:19 PM
Detroit Lions LB Jack Campbell agreed to a contract extension with the team on Thursday, May 21. Terms of the deal were not disclosed initially.
| Footballguys view: The Lions were criticized when they took Campbell, an off ball linebacker, in the first round, but he has settled in as a franchise cornerstone, and off ball linebacker has one of the cheapest going rates for top of the market contracts as any position. That also goes for Jahmyr Gibbs soon-to-come contract extension. Together that frees up money compared to teams that are signing wide receivers, cornerbacks, edge rushers, and offensive tackles to long term deals. |

Cowboys | DeMarvion Overshown completely healthy Sun May 17, 05:58 PM
Dallas Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown (knee) said that he is completely healthy and is no longer wearing a knee brace. He missed the bulk of the 2025 season because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a torn medial collateral ligament and a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his knee.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys could also get much bigger contributions from 2025 third round pick Shavon Revel, a long, fast corner who was also on the mend from previous injuries last year. This defense is going to get faster and more aggressive, and they have a rising star Christian Parker as their new defensive coordinator. The Dallas D/ST could be a factor in fantasy leagues this year. |

Packers | Micah Parsons may be PUP candidate Fri May 15, 04:42 PM
Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) is a candidate to start the 2026 season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Minnesota, the Jets, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Chicago, and Dallas would dodge Parsons if he starts the season on the PUP list. The Packers don't have another proven edge rusher after they traded Rashan Gary to the Cowboys in the offseason. We'll be monitoring the reports on 2023 first round pick Lukas Van Ness and this year's fourth round pick Dani Dennis-Sutton to see if edge rush help is on the way while Parsons is on the mend. |

Panthers | CAR, Bryce Young 'talking through' extension Wed May 13, 12:02 AM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young had his fifth-year extension picked up, but the Panthers are reportedly talking through an extension and GM Dan Morgan will be in touch with Young's agent, according to an interview on NFL Network on Tuesday, May 12.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers have Young under contract for two more years. ESPN's Dan Graziano noted on Tuesday that the team "doesn't seem in a huge hurry" to work out an extension with the former first overall pick. The hesitancy on Carolina's part stems from the fact that the QB market got absolutely nuked with young quarterbacks signing record-setting deals, and it needs to adjust back. As AtoZSports' Ken Noble suggested, the Panthers are smart by letting the QB market cool back down before paying Young. For our purposes, Young remains a low-end QB2. |

He tallied 12.5 sacks with 12 tackles for loss and 27 quarterback hits, earning AP first-team All-Pro honors for the third time, despite playing just 14 games. We'll be watching his progress closely in coming weeks. |

Texans | Extension for Azeez Al-Shaair Wed Apr 29, 01:18 PM
Houston Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the Texans Wednesday, April 29. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Al-Shaair had his first Pro Bowl season in 2025 after totaling 103 tackles, two interceptions, and nine pass deflections. He wore the "green dot" on defense as he relayed the playcalls from Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke for the No. 1-ranked total defense (277.2 yards per game) and No. 2 scoring defense (17.4 points per game) last season. There were also times when Al-Shaair called the plays himself when the opposing offense was in hurry-up mode, so he's an important contributor. |
