Caleb Williams to move — “contract extension in 2027; one of the three should reset the quarterback market”

Quinyon Mitchell to move to Philadelphia Eagles

If offensive tackle Joe Alt joins Herbert as the only Chargers first-round pick with an early extension, he will probably become the NFL's highest-paid offensive lineman.

A major reset of the tight end market could come from the Raiders next year, thanks to Brock Bowers.
