Jacoby Brissett contract: $15.5M guaranteed from Cardinals
Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals agreed on a reworked contract worth $15.5 million fully guaranteed, with incentives that could push the total to $21 million. No new years were added, so he still reaches free agency after 2026. The deal ends a standoff that ran from voluntary OTAs through the first day of training camp and confirms him as Arizona's uncontested starter. Treat him as a low-end QB2 and a matchup-based streamer.

Christian Gonzalez contract offer would set CB pay record
Patriots owner Robert Kraft confirmed New England has offered cornerback Christian Gonzalez a contract that would make him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history and the largest deal in franchise history.

The Miami Dolphins have agreed to a 3-year, $51.3 million extension with linebacker Jordyn Brooks, including $35 million guaranteed, per Adam Schefter.

Devonte Wyatt signs 3-year, $57M extension with Packers
Devonte Wyatt, DT for the Green Bay Packers, agreed to a 3-year, $57M contract extension with a $20M signing bonus, per Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter. The contract cements him as the unquestioned No. 1 defensive tackle in Green Bay after the Kenny Clark trade. IDP managers get a locked-in starter with heavy workload upside but real durability concerns coming off a fractured fibula and torn ankle ligaments.

Isaiah McDuffie contract extension: Packers lock him in
The Green Bay Packers extended linebacker Isaiah McDuffie on July 9, 2026, with terms that pay him $8.8 million over the next two years plus up to $1 million in play-time incentives. He projects as a rotational linebacker and core special teamer in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense. IDP managers should treat him as a streamer at best, and redraft managers can ignore him entirely.

Brenton Strange extension: 3 years, $48M with Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars locked up TE Brenton Strange on a 3-year extension worth up to $48 million with $25 million guaranteed, per Adam Schefter. The contract carries a $16M average annual value, ranking fifth among tight ends. Strange is the unquestioned TE1 in Jacksonville, but his injury history and two new tight ends drafted in 2026 mean he's not a safe top-10 fantasy pick.
