At the conclusion of the offseason programs for each team in the NFL, several important developments took place. Here is a recap of some of the top headlines from the past week:

• Lawrence Signs Extension with Jaguars: After mutual interest between Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars, a five-year, $275MM extension with $200MM in guarantees has been reached. Lawrence’s annual average value of $55MM matches that of Joe Burrow‘s deal, showing Jacksonville’s commitment to Lawrence’s development. Despite a rough start to his career, Lawrence is expected to lead the Jaguars back to the playoffs and is now under contract through 2030.
• Steelers Extend Tomlin Through 2027: Head coach Mike Tomlin has signed a three-year extension, keeping him with the Steelers through 2027. Tomlin has been with the team since 2007, with two Super Bowl appearances and one title. He will be tasked with guiding the team through a post-Ben Roethlisberger era and a potential offensive rebound.
• Higgins Signs Bengals Franchise Tag: Tee Higgins has signed his franchise tag with the Bengals, earning $21.8MM this season. A long-term deal is still possible until mid-July, but a new contract for fellow wideout Ja’Marr Chase may impact Higgins’ future with the team.
• Giants’ Waller Retires: Veteran tight end Darren Waller has announced his retirement after eight seasons in the NFL, ending his tenure with the Giants after just one year. Injuries limited Waller’s playing time, and the Giants will now look to other options at the tight end position moving forward.
• Falcons and Eagles Face Tampering Penalties: The Falcons were found guilty of tampering violations related to Kirk Cousins, Darnell Mooney, and Charlie Woerner, resulting in a fifth-round pick loss and fines. The Eagles, on the other hand, were cleared of any wrongdoing in the Saquon Barkley situation and will not face any penalties.
