Baker Mayfield’s future with the Buccaneers hangs in the balance as he sets a July 28 deadline for a new contract, refusing to negotiate further once veterans report.

The Eagles’ offensive line, especially at guard, is in serious question as the season looms — with Landon Dickerson’s injury history and Tyler Steen’s contract year putting pressure on the starters.

Barner, on a modest $1M rookie deal, is already delivering big-time impact with 10 touchdowns in just two seasons, including Seattle’s lone score in their Super Bowl win.

The Detroit Lions just dropped a new metric: the Dan Campbell Trust Index, measuring how much faith the coaching staff placed in rookies—and how much they earned over the season.

Pen...
