# Joel Corry: The unsigned piece predicts the early-extension trend continues into 2027, with at least one of the 2024 quarterback class (Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Caleb Williams) resetting the QB market, Brock Bowers resetting the tight end market via the Raiders, Joe Alt possibly becoming the NFL's highest-paid offensive lineman, and Quinyon Mitchell becoming the first $35 million defensive back. It also expects the Patriots and Christian Gonzalez to reach an extension.

## What others said about the same people

- Jeff Kerr on Michael Carter: Kerr says several Eagles have raised their stock in camp: Darius Cooper is emerging as the team's WR4, Drew Kendall is the No. 3 interior lineman/top backup at guard and center, Willie Lampkin is in prime position to make the 53-man roster, and Michael Carter is a roster lock who could start at safety in Week 1. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/922a9343-f96d-419d-8091-49b64dd471d9 (scored 0)

- Brandon Carney on Stefon Diggs: Carney drafted a team of rookies he expects to make an immediate fantasy impact (headlined by Karnell Tate and Makai Lemon), predicted landing spots for the remaining big-name free agents, and gave way-too-early division winners, wild cards and award picks — Patriots, Chargers, Bengals, Jaguars, Eagles, Rams, Vikings and Saints as division champs with Joe Burrow as MVP. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c4d477da-4fb8-4a25-a904-c5057a249a70 (scored 0)
