# Joel Corry: The piece predicts the early-extension trend continues into 2027, with at least one of the 2024 quarterback class (Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Caleb Williams) resetting the QB market, Brock Bowers resetting the tight end market via the Raiders, Joe Alt possibly becoming the NFL's highest-paid offensive lineman, and Quinyon Mitchell becoming the first $35 million defensive back. It also expects the Patriots and Christian Gonzalez to reach an extension. **Claimed:** Aug 19, 2026 **Pundit:** Joel Corry — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/joel-corry **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-nfl-first-round-pick-contract-extension/ 7 checkable claims — 7 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
