Chauncey Billups earned over $106M on the court in 17 NBA seasons and was reportedly making around $4.75M per year as head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers. Terry Rozier has earned over $133M in his 10-year NBA career. He's currently under contract at $26.6M with the Miami #Heat.

NEW: As we approach the midway point of the 2025 NFL season, a look at QBs with future contract guarantees who are trending toward the possibility of a contract buyout in 2026. www.spotrac.com/news/_/id/29...

The Tua Tagovailoa Contract 2025: $15.3M (remaining) 2026: $55M ($54M gtd) 2027: $37M 2028: $49.4M $3M of 2027 salary guarantees next March. $22M more guarantees March 2027. In short, Miami is currently on the hook for $57M+ going forward.

#Tigers SP Tarik Skubal currently projects toward an 8 year, $300M extension in our system. The $37.5M APY would make him the highest average paid SP on a 4+ year contract in MLB history. Yoshinobu Yamamoto's $325M deal is the largest total value, but over a 12-year span.

NEW: Understanding #MLB's Qualifying Offer system, plus notable candidates for the upcoming offseason. www.spotrac.com/news/_/id/29...

#MLB has set the Qualifying Offer price at $22.025M for the upcoming season. Notable Candidates - Kyle Tucker - Bo Bichette - Framber Valdez - Kyle Schwarber - Ranger Suarez - Dylan Cease

3B Alex Bregman has exercised an early termination option in his contract, foregoing the remaining 2 years, $80M on his #RedSox deal to hit free agency. The 31-year-old carries a 4 year, $112M valuation in our system.

James Franklin was earning roughly $8M per year on his 10 year contract with Penn State thru 2031. That $8M per year is guaranteed, meaning PSU now owes Franklin $56M per his firing today.

NEW: An updated look at the future of current QB1 contracts, including cash remaining, guarantee structure, potential outs, and more. www.spotrac.com/news/_/id/29...

Najee Harris signed a 1 year, $5.25M fully guaranteed contract with the #Chargers this past March. His season-ending Achilles injury means he'll miss out on the $4M of attainable rushing incentives, sending him back to the open market in reset mode next March.

James Conner is in Year 2 of a 3 year, $25M contract with the #Cardinals, earning $4M this season. An ankle injury will cost the 30-year-old $420,000 of per-game-active bonus, and none of his $8M salary for 2026 is guaranteed.

Nick Bosa is in Year 3 of a 6 year, $189M contract with the #49ers, earning just over $30M this season. A season-ending ACL tear will cost him $411,754 of per-game-active bonus this season, but his $22.68M salary for 2026 is fully guaranteed.

A 3-0 start for Daniel Jones with the #Colts has secured him an extra $300,000. Jones can earn $100,000 for every regular season win that he takes 50% of the snaps in.

Marcus Mariota can earn $200,000 for every regular season game that he plays in 60% of the snaps, and the #Commanders win. That's in addition to an $8M base value contract for 2025.

#RedSox RHP Lucas Giolito's 4.1 inning outing last night pushed his season total past 140. This converts his $14M club option for 2026 into a $19M mutual option. It's widely expected that Giolito declines the option, taking the $1.5M buyout to hit the open market.

The Boston #RedSox have released SP Walker Buehler out of a contract that pays him: - $18.05M in 2025 salary - a $1M bonus for 22 starts - a $3M 2026 option buyout It's a $22M payday for 22 starts, and a chance to latch on elsewhere.

Now that the dust has settled, Maxx Crosby's 3 year, $94M practical guarantee from the #Raiders looks like a veritable steal. Micah Parsons is set to earn $62M in 2025. Crosby will cash in $64M combined across 2025-2026.
