Seth McGowan Quiet in First Opportunity as a Preseason Starter
Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Seth McGowan started in Thursday's 13-13 preseason opening tie against the New England Patriots. With lead running back Jonathan Taylor held out, McGowan only racked up 17 yards on his five carries and lost a fumble. McGowan was unable to capitalize on this early opportunity to solidify himself as the team's RB2, as fellow running back DJ Giddens (hamstring) was held out of the game due to injury. Deep Dynasty managers should continue to hold out hope for McGowan as the young rookie develops and gains more experience next week against the Atlanta Falcons. If McGowan can earn that RB2 role, he could also be a valuable handcuff for Taylor managers in redraft leagues

Agent's Take: Why NFL tight ends have been left behind by contract boom, plus 3 stars who could reset market
The 2026 league year, which began on March 11, has been great financially for most major offensive positions. Patrick Mahomes became the first quarterback to break the $60 million-per-year barrier. Jaxon Smith-Njigba topped Ja'Marr Chase as the NFL's highest-paid wide receiver . Saquon Barkley dropped to fourth on the running back pay scale, with Jahmyr Gibbs , who now leads the way, Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor joining him in the $20 million-per-year club last week. Offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil's contract extension made him the first and only $30 million-per-year offensive lineman. Peter Skoronski just established a new benchmark for offensive guards at $25 million per year. It may be short-lived if the Indianapolis Colts sign Quenton Nelson , who is in a contract year, to a new deal. The most shocking development has been Tyler Linderbaum resetting the center market by a whopping 50% when he signed a three-year, $81 million contract averaging $27 million per year with the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency. Tight ends are the exception to this offensive salary boom. A career-high 88 receptions, nearly 1,000 receiving yards and a second-team All-Pro selection in 2025, leading to a franchise tag, weren't enough for Kyle Pitts to move the needle for tight ends . His three-year, $53 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons in June made him the NFL's third-highest-paid tight end at $17,666,667 per year. Pitts did establish a new tight end record with $36 million fully guaranteed at signing. A stagnant tight end market isn't anything new. Jimmy Graham became the league's first $10 million-per-year tight end in 2014 when he signed a four-year, $40 million contract with the New Orleans Saints as a franchise player. The mark wasn't eclipsed until 2020, when Austin Hooper got a four-year, $42 million deal averaging $10.5 million per year from the Cleveland Browns as an unrestricted free agent. The massive reset came later in 2020 during training camp. George Kittle signed a five-year, $75 million contract extension averaging $15 million per year with the San Francisco 49ers . Travis Kelce quickly followed suit with a team-friendly four-year, $57.25 million extension averaging $14,312,500 per year from the Kansas City Chiefs . Six years later, the tight end market has yet to hit the $20 million-per-year mark. Kittle is currently the highest-paid tight end with the backloaded four-year, $76.4 million extension averaging $19.1 million per year that he signed with the 49ers in April 2025. There's $22.4 million in Kittle's 2029 contract year, when he will be 36. The first three new years of Kittle's extension average $18 million per year. Kittle's deal came about a month after Trey McBride signed a four-year, $76 million extension averaging $19 million per year with the Arizona Cardinals . The first three new years of McBride's extension average $19,333,333 per year. McBride's $43 million in overall guarantees are the most ever for a tight end. There's a big drop-off in tight end salaries after Kittle, McBride and Pitts. Isaiah Likely is next at $13,333,333 per year. The three-year, $40 million deal Likely signed with the New York Giants is worth a maximum of $47.2 million through incentives. It wasn't too long ago that nearly three times as many tight ends as today were making $13.5 million per year or more. Eight tight ends on multiyear contracts were above that mark in 2023. A subset of the overall tight end market has reached new heights in 2026. Charlie Kolar became the first blocking tight end to eclipse the $8 million-per-year mark when he signed a three-year, $24.3 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers during free agency in March. Darnell Washington took blocking tight end salaries to an unprecedented level in June. He received a four-year, $42 million extension from the Pittsburgh Steelers , making him the first blocking tight end to reach the $10 million-per-year mark. The gap between the highest-paid tight en [... truncated ...]

The Colts Named a Landing Spot for Najee Harris
The Indianapolis Colts were named a landing spot for current free-agent running back Najee Harris, according to Jason Garcia. Harris's 2025 season with the Los Angeles Chargers was cut short by a ruptured Achilles tendon, marking the first games he had missed in his four-year NFL career. While the Colts just re-signed Jonathan Taylor to a two-year, $44 million extension, they don't yet have a marquee replacement for him. Taylor has averaged more than 22 carries per game over the past two seasons and has missed time due to ankle injuries. With DJ Giddens struggling at camp and only seventh-round pick Seth McGowan behind him, Harris could fill the backup role behind Taylor in Indianapolis

Jahmyr Gibbs becomes highest-paid running back in history after agreeing on three-year extension, per report
Jahmyr Gibbs ' hold-in has come to an emphatic end. Gibbs has become the highest-paid running back in NFL history after he and the Detroit Lions agreed to a three-year, $67.5 million deal that could be worth up to $75.75 million, according to ESPN . The deal also includes $51.5 million guaranteed. Gibbs' deal comes two days after the Atlanta Falcons and Bijan Robinson agreed to terms on a three-year extension worth up to $75 million, with $51 million guaranteed. Robinson's deal was the highest for a running back in NFL history. Earlier in the day, fellow running back Jonathan Taylor agreed to terms with the Indianapolis Colts on a two-year, $44 million extension. Taylor's new deal comes three years after he signed a three-year, $42 million deal that, at the time, was a monumental step for running backs from a monetary standpoint. Along with Taylor, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was a key player in helping the running back position rebound after it was devalued for a time. Barkley became the first running back to earn at least $20 million annually when he signed a two-year, $41.2 million extension last season after rushing for over 2,000 yards and helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl . Taylor and Barkley are now flanked by Gibbs, Robinson in the "$20 million" club. Bijan Robinson (Falcons) 24 $22.25 million Saquon Barkley (Eagles) 29 $20.6 million Christian McCaffrey ( 49ers ) 30 $19 million De'Von Achane ( Dolphins ) 25 $16 million Derrick Henry ( Ravens ) 32 $15 million Breece Hall ( Jets ) 25 $14.5 million Kenneth Walker III ( Chiefs ) 26 $14.35 million Gibbs' production during his first three seasons more than validates his historic extension. According to CBS Sports Research, his 49 touchdowns during his first three seasons are the most in NFL history. He is first in scrimmage yards (3,768) and first in scrimmage touchdowns (38) in the NFL over the past two seasons. Gibbs is also the second player in NFL history (with Nick Chubb being the first) to average at least 5.0 yards per carry in each of his first three seasons (with a minimum of 150 touches). His 5.9 yards-per-touch average during his first three seasons is tied for the second-most in NFL history since the 1970 merger. With a new contract in tow, Gibbs will continue the work of helping the Lions rebound from last year's disappointing season. Detroit finished with a winning record for a fourth straight year, but they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2022, when they also finished 9-8

Jahmyr Gibbs agrees to three-year deal worth $22.5 million annually
Jahmyr Gibbs’ return to practice was a sign that a long-term deal with the Lions was close. Indeed, according to a source, the running back has agreed to a three-year, $67.5 million deal that could be worth up to $75.75 million. He will receive $51.5 million in guarantees. His deal follows Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor’s agreements with their teams this week. Gibbs had been holding in as he sought a long-term deal with the team. Gibbs, 24, enters his fourth season after 3,580 rushing yards, 39 rushing touchdowns, 1,449 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns in his first three seasons while sharing time with David Montgomery. The Lions traded Montgomery to the Texans in the offseason. Gibbs has earned Pro Bowl honors in all three of his NFL seasons after the Lions made him the 12th overall pick in 2023
