It can pay him up to $100 million. Negotiating off the transition tag, this honestly isn't a big bump for Jones. It sounds like a lot of money because of how quickly the cap has gone up, but it puts Jones 12th among starters if he hits his incentives and 17th if he doesn't, pending restructures for players like Matthew Stafford and cuts ahead of him for Kyler Murray. Jones enters the offseason as Indianapolis' QB1, but rehabbing a late-season torn Achilles that will make his status for Week 1 shaky. He's best treated as a mid-range superflex QB2 in fantasy while we wait to see if he'll be able to run full speed again.

The two-time All-Pro becomes the highest-paid corner in NFL history and will now be under contract through the 2030 season. The Rams traded a bevy picks to the Chiefs last week, including a 2026 first-rounder, to acquire McDuffie, who totaled 63 tackles, one interception, and seven pass breakups last season before a knee injury prematurely ended his season. The Rams hope McDuffie, who will turn 26 shortly after the start of next season, will prove to be the missing piece they need to make a deep postseason run in the limited time they have left with Matthew Stafford under center.

The Rams are bringing back key players as they push for a Super Bowl during Matthew Stafford s potential final season.
