The Most Lucrative ILB Contract In Each Franchise’s History
The 49ers have again made Fred Warner the NFL’s highest-paid off-ball linebacker. The franchise did this in 2021 as well. A team that has employed All-Pro NaVorro Bowman and Hall of Famer Patrick Willis over the past 15 years, the 49ers have spent on the high end to fortify this position. Other clubs, however, have been far more hesitant to unload significant cash to staff this job.
The $20MM-per-year linebacker club consists of only two players (Warner, Roquan Smith), but only four surpass $15MM per year presently. Last year saw the Jaguars and Jets (Foye Oluokun, C.J. Mosley) trim their priciest ILBs’ salaries in exchange for guarantees, and the Colts did not make it too far with Shaquille Leonard‘s big-ticket extension. Although some contracts handed out this offseason created optimism about this stubborn market, franchises’ pasts here do not depict a trend of paying second-level defenders.
Excluding rookie contracts and arranged by guaranteed money, here is (via OvertheCap) the richest contract each franchise has given to an off-ball ‘backer:
Arizona Cardinals
- Jordan Hicks; March 12, 2019: Four years, $34MM ($20MM guaranteed)
Atlanta Falcons
- Deion Jones; July 17, 2019: Four years, $54MM ($34MM guaranteed)
Baltimore Ravens

Buffalo Bills
- Matt Milano; March 12, 2023: Two years, $28.33MM ($27.15MM guaranteed)
Milano’s first extension (in 2021) brought more in overall value and fully guaranteed money, but the 2023 pact provided more in total guarantees
Carolina Panthers
- Luke Kuechly; September 10, 2015: Five years, $61.8MM ($33.36MM guaranteed)
Shaq Thompson‘s 2019 extension brought a higher AAV ($13.54MM), but Kuechly’s included more in guarantees

Indianapolis Colts
- Shaquille Leonard; August 8, 2021: Five years, $98.5MM ($52.5MM guaranteed)
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Foye Oluokun; March 14, 2022: Three years, $45MM ($28MM guaranteed)
Kansas City Chiefs
- Nick Bolton; March 9, 2025: Three years, $45MM ($30MM guaranteed)
Las Vegas Raiders
- Cory Littleton; March 17, 2020: Three years, $35.25MM ($22MM guaranteed)
Rolando McClain‘s 2010 rookie contract, agreed to in the final year before the rookie-scale system debuted, checked in higher in terms of guarantees ($22.83MM)
Los Angeles Chargers
- Donald Butler; February 28, 2014: Seven years, $51.8MM ($11.15MM guaranteed)
Kenneth Murray‘s rookie contract (a fully guaranteed $12.97MM) narrowly eclipses this deal
Los Angeles Rams
- James Laurinaitis; September 8, 2012: Five years, $41.5MM ($23.62MM guaranteed)
Mark Barron‘s 2016 contract brought a higher AAV ($9MM) but a lower guarantee
Miami Dolphins
- Jerome Baker; June 13, 2021: Three years, $37.5MM ($28.41MM guaranteed)
Minnesota Vikings
- Anthony Barr; March 12, 2019: Five years, $67.5MM ($33MM guaranteed)
New England Patriots
- Jerod Mayo; December 17, 2011: Five years, $48.5MM ($27MM guaranteed)
Robert Spillane‘s $11MM AAV leads the way at this position in New England, but the recently dismissed HC’s contract brought more guaranteed money
New Orleans Saints
- Demario Davis; September 13, 2020: Three years, $27MM ($18.35MM guaranteed)
New York Giants
- Bobby Okereke; March 13, 2023: Four years, $40MM ($21.8MM guaranteed)
Blake Martinez‘s free agency deal included a higher AAV ($10.25MM) but a lower guaranteee
New York Jets
- C.J. Mosley; March 12, 2019: Five years, $85MM ($51MM guaranteed)
Philadelphia Eagles
- Zack Baun; March 5, 2025: Three years, $51MM ($34MM guaranteed)
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Patrick Queen; March 12, 2024: Three years, $41MM ($20.51MM guaranteed)
San Francisco 49ers
- Fred Warner; May 19, 2025: Three years, $63MM ($56MM guaranteed)
Warner secured more guaranteed money on this extension than he did on his five-year 2021 deal ($40.5MM guaranteed)
Seattle Seahawks
- Bobby Wagner; July 26, 2019: Three years, $54MM ($40.25MM guaranteed)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Lavonte David; August 9, 2015: Five years, $50.25MM ($25.56MM guaranteed)
Tennessee Titans
- Cody Barton; March 10, 2025: Three years, $21MM ($13.33MM guaranteed)

Jamin Davis‘ fully guaranteed rookie contract brought a higher guarantee ($13.79MM)
AFC Staff Updates: Jaguars, Patriots, Steelers, Jets, Dolphins, Titans, Colts
With rookie general manager James Gladstone and rookie head coach Liam Coen taking over in Jacksonville, we’ve seen a mass migration of coaches and front office staff from Los Angeles to Duval this offseason. Gladstone and Coen created several connections during their time with the Rams, and Sean McVay has never been known to keep his coaches from pursuing positions with upwards mobility elsewhere.
The latest staff members we see making the move are former national scout Brian Hill and former director of draft management JW Jordan. Per Neil Stratton of SucceedinFootball.com, Hill is set to become the new director of college scouting in Jacksonville. Hill had been with the Rams since 2013, spending two years as a scouting assistant and ten years as an area scout responsible for the Midwest region. He had just been promoted to national scout in March, but he will pass up the opportunity for an even bigger elevation with the Jaguars.
Jordan has been with the Rams for 13 years, spending the last six in his role as director of draft management and serving as a scouting consultant before that. His new role has not yet been announced, but Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 tells us that it will be an executive role.
Here are some other staff updates from around the AFC:
- Stratton also gave us two recent updates for the Patriots scouting staff. Just over a week after Tennessee moved on from scouting director A.J. Highsmith, he has found a role in New England as the new director of pro scouting. The move puts Highsmith on the same team as his father, Alonzo Highsmith, who is entering his second season as a senior personnel executive with the Patriots. Stratton also informed us that southeast area scout Josh Hinch will not be returning to the team in 2025.
- After four years with the Steelers, it appears Mike Sullivan will not be back next season. It’s unclear if something occurred, but ESPN’s Brooke Pryor pointed out that he no longer appears on the team’s website. The 58-year-old spent three years as Pittsburgh’s quarterbacks coach before moving to a senior offensive assistant role last year. Additionally, the Steelers have hired Luke Smith to serve as a quality control coach for the team in 2025. The nephew of Steelers special teams coordinator Danny Smith, Luke has spent the past eight years as the wide receivers coach at nearby Duquesne, per Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot. This will be Smith’s first position in the NFL.
- Stratton gave us another front office update recently, pointing out a change to the LinkedIn profile of Jets assistant director of pro personnel Kevin Murphy. Murphy seems to have indicated on the account that his time with New York has come to an end. The profile currently does not indicate any next steps for the pro personnel specialist who spent time with the Texans, Bills, and Jets over the last 19 years.
- Jordan Happle has been hired as a new player personnel scout for the Dolphins. According to Stratton, the former collegiate safety who played at both Boise State and Oregon was recently added to Miami’s website in the new position.
- Stratton also tells us that the Titans are hiring former Pitt director of college scouting Alex Kline to their scouting department this season. Kline began his football career as a wide receiver at John Caroll University before becoming a grad assistant and, eventually, a coach and coordinator at Saint Vincent College. He worked for a year at Pitt as an offensive quality control coach before leaving for a recruiting role at Akron. He returned to Pitt as the wide receivers coach before leaving once again for the director of player personnel job at Memphis. He returned once more to Pitt in 2022 in his most recent role before making the trip back to Tennessee. It stands to be seen whether or not he’ll attempt to continue his back-and-forth career movement between coaching and personnel.
- Lastly, Seth Walder of ESPN informs us that Ashleigh Prugh is joining the Colts as a football analytics fellow. This will be Prugh’s first position in the NFL following an internship with SumerSports.
Minor NFL Transactions: 5/15/25
Today’s minor transactions:
Indianapolis Colts
- Claimed off waivers (from Patriots): DT Eric Johnson II
- Waived: S Marcel Dabo
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Waived: TE Patrick Murtagh
Kansas City Chiefs
- Waived/injured: RB Keaontay Ingram
- Released from IR: WR Justin Lockhart
Tennessee Titans
- Waived: CB Garnett Hollis Jr.
Today’s move by the Colts is a bit of a reunion, as Eric Johnson II was a fifth-round pick by the Colts in 2022. He spent his first two seasons in Indy, appearing in 28 games while compiling 18 tackles and one sack. He was waived at the end of the 2024 preseason and landed in New England, where he proceeded to get into 11 games for his new squad.
While Johnson has been buried on the depth chart and occasionally stuck on special teams throughout his career, he has gotten some run on defense. He got into a career-high 265 defensive snaps in 2023, although that dropped to 178 defensive snaps during his time with the Patriots.
Minor NFL Transactions: 5/14/25

Williams, who recently worked out for Houston without getting a contract, turned a workout with the Patriots into a roster spot for the summer. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2, New England also worked out former Saints running back Jordan Mims, but Williams walked away with the deal.
Travis Hunter To Split Offensive, Defensive Reps During Jaguars’ OTAs
The draft provided clarity on where Travis Hunter will begin his NFL career, with the Jaguars executing a move up the board to the No. 2 pick. That agreement with the Browns had been worked out well in advance, but it came as a surprise to many at the time and invited questions about how Jacksonville’s positional approach would play out with him. 
Rookie general manager James Gladstone said last month the Jags would begin with Hunter working primarily at receiver. That news came as little surprise, but the 2024 Heisman winner made it clear during the pre-draft process he intended to continue playing both ways upon arrival in the NFL. After only taking reps at wideout during rookie minicamp, Liam Coen said Hunter will also see time at cornerback during Jacksonville’s upcoming OTAs.
“We just kind of ended up making a decision that from yesterday to today, we wanted to be able to clean up some of the things that we may have been able to miss yesterday [and] get extra reps on the offensive side of the ball and next week he’ll start to roll on defense,” the first-year head coach said following the end of rookie minicamp (via ESPN’s Michael DiRocco).
During his final season at Colorado, Hunter averaged 114 total snaps per game. That allowed him to put up noteworthy production on offense (1,258 yards, 15 touchdowns on 96 receptions) and defense (four interceptions, 11 pass deflections) en route to a slew of accolades. Gladstone has certainly not downplayed Hunter’s potential when speaking publicly about him, so a notable workload on both sides of the ball as a rookie could very well be in store. Coen noted the two-time All-American has spent time learning both playbooks, and mastering each in time for training camp would be key.
The Jags’ receiving corps will be led by 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year finalist Brian Thomas Jr. once again in 2025, especially with Christian Kirk being traded away and Gabe Davis being released. Hunter could see notable playing time early and often as a pass-catching presence with the team looking to find a long-term answer at the receiver spot. Both members of a Thomas-Hunter tandem would be under team control for several years on their rookie deals with quarterback Trevor Lawrence attached to a $55MM-per-year pact.
Jacksonville still has Tyson Campbell on the books for one boundary corner role, and the team signed Jourdan Lewis in free agency. The latter will operate in the slot on his new team, but Hunter could earn playing time on the outside depending on how well he acclimates on defense this offseason. That process will begin to ramp up later this month at OTAs, and it will be interesting to see how Hunter develops in each capacity.

Latest On Jags’ Travis Etienne, Tank Bigsby
New Jaguars general manager James Gladstone made one of the most impactful moves of the draft by trading up to the No. 2 slot and selecting Travis Hunter. At the time Jacksonville was slated to pick fifth overall, though, running back Ashton Jeanty was closely linked to the team. 
The Heisman runner-up wound up being drafted sixth overall by the Raiders, but he drew interest from multiple teams (the Jags and Bears among them) eyeing an addition in the backfield. The Jaguars have Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby atop the depth chart as things stand. Etienne’s name was mentioned as a trade candidate in the event Jacksonville took Jeanty, and his future may still be in the air.
The new Jags regime led by Gladstone and head coach Liam Coen is “not so high” on Etienne, multiple league sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The 2021 first-rounder missed his entire rookie campaign before taking on starting duties the following three years. Etienne topped 1,000 rushing yards in both of those seasons, but his workload and production took a noticeable step back in 2024. Bigsby saw his workload spike compared to the previous year, logging 168 carries and a 36% snap share.
As Fowler notes, though, ball security is an issue in the latter’s case. Bigsby has fumbled a total of six times during his two-year career, and a continuation of that trend could limit his usage with Coen guiding the offense. Fourth-round rookie Bhayshul Tuten could handle a notable workload early on depending on how the team divvies up backfield carries in 2025. Adding options to lower Etienne’s usage has been a goal in recent years, but a true committee approach would of course have notable consequences for the Clemson product heading into free agency next spring.
The Jaguars’ previous regime picked up Etienne’s fifth-year option last spring, tying him to $6.14MM in earnings for 2025. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back from last year’s showing (during which he missed a pair of games and averaged a career-worst 3.7 yards per carry, leading to questions about his RB1 status). With new decision-makers in place, it will be interesting to see if Etienne plays his way into a deal beyond 2025 by changing the team’s opinion of him. Bigsby, meanwhile, has more time to do that since two years remain on his rookie pact.
Jaguars Release WR Gabe Davis
Jacksonville’s new regime continues to reshape its pass-catching corps. A year after Trent Baalke gave Gabe Davis a lucrative contract in free agency, James Gladstone is moving on.
Following the exits of Christian Kirk and Evan Engram, the Jaguars announced a Davis release. The $13MM-per-year player is back in free agency after a disappointing Jags debut. The team added Travis Hunter in the draft, and the 2024 Heisman winner team with 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr. Davis is departing via a failed physical designation, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero notes.
This release will bring a steep price for the Jags. As the team will build around two first-round contracts at the position to complement Trevor Lawrence‘s $55MM-per-year deal, they will incur a $20MM dead money hit by cutting Davis. That is on the higher end in WR history, but incoming regimes are generally less concerned about taking on notable cap hits for previous staffs’ failed investments.
After a productive Buffalo tenure, Davis indeed qualified as a failed signing. The Jags could reduce this dead cap considerably by designating Davis a post-June 1 cut. In that event, the team could take the dead money down to just $5.7MM for 2025 — with the rest of the bill due in 2026.
Davis caught only 20 passes last season, producing only 239 yards — by far a career-low mark — in a season that ended with a meniscus surgery. That contributed heavily to the low yardage total, as Davis missed seven games. The former fourth-round find had arrived in Jacksonville on the heels of a 746-yard Buffalo finale. The former Stefon Diggs sidekick had posted 27 regular-season touchdown receptions with the Bills and delivered one of the greatest receiver performances in playoff history — via a four-TD night in a Bills-Chiefs classic in the 2021 divisional round. The Central Florida alum did not closely resemble that version with the Jags.
Davis’ 2024 and ’25 free agencies will not produce comparable price tags. With the Jags tied to the sixth-year veteran’s 2025 money, offset language could allow Davis’ next team to add him for the veteran minimum. That would slightly subtract from the Jaguars’ dead money total. But they will still take a significant loss here. But Gladstone appears fine doing so, having made a blockbuster trade to secure Hunter as his new offensive centerpiece. Suddenly, a Jags team that had several veteran pass catcher salaries is not tied to much in that area.
Jacksonville carried eight-figure-per-year deals for Kirk, Engram and Davis last year. In 2023, the team rostered Kirk, Engram, Zay Jones‘ $8MM-per-year contract and Calvin Ridley‘s fifth-year option. Baalke’s final offseason featured a push to retain Ridley despite having given Davis a three-year, $39MM deal hours into the legal tampering period. Tennessee outbid both Jacksonville and New England for Ridley, but the Jags were still carrying a pricey skill-position corps. A year later, all those contracts are gone — even if Davis’ could still linger on the payroll through 2026 (depending on a post-June 1 decision).
A boundary wideout known for deep production in Buffalo, Davis ranked as PFR’s No. 23 overall free agent. He posted a career-high 836 receiving yards in 2022 and scored either six or seven touchdowns in each of his four Bills seasons. Davis will head into an age-26 season in 2025, which will certainly give him a chance to bounce back. But teams will certainly be leery of Davis being a Josh Allen creation as his second free agency commences.
Jaguars To Hire Brian Xanders
Shortly after the draft took place, the Jaguars moved on from Ethan Waugh. The departure of Jacksonville’s assistant general manager – who took over from Trent Baalke on an interim basis this winter – left a notable vacancy in the team’s front office. 
Brian Xanders is being hired by the Jags as part of their effort to fill that void, Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reports. The former Broncos general manager most recently worked with the Rams as a senior personnel executive. As a result, he represents a familiar face for both GM James Gladstone and head coach Liam Coen.
Xanders’ NFL career began with the Falcons, spending considerable time in their player personnel department. That tenure was followed by his time in the Mile High City, which included the assistant general manager gig for 2008. He took charge of the Broncos one year later, overseeing one postseason appearance during his three years as GM. Xanders moved on to the Lions following his Broncos stint, but in the wake of Bob Quinn‘s firing he too found himself on the move in the spring of 2017.
It did not take Xanders long to find a new opportunity, though, as he was hired by the Rams later that offseason. The 54-year-old is a veteran executive who has handled a number of responsibilities during his career, something which should help the Gladstone-Coen tandem given both of its members are first-timers in their respective positions. Xanders will join a front office which has seen a number of other recent departures in addition to that of Waugh.
College scouting director Michael Davis is no longer in the fold, as noted by Neil Stratton of Inside the League. His tenure in Jacksonville began in 2021 under Baalke, but with Gladstone in place the team’s scouting department will move in a different direction. According to Stratton, other departures include that of scout Geep Chryst – in place since 2023 – and Claire Morrison (who had also worked for the Jags over the past two years). Further shuffling in the front office could take place over the coming weeks and months.
