Chargers, Dalvin Tomlinson Agree To Deal
Dalvin Tomlinson has lined up his next opportunity. The veteran defensive tackle has agreed to terms with the Chargers, per his agency (h/t Tom Pelissero of NFL Network).
Pelissero’s colleague Ian Rapoport reports this is a one-year deal. Tomlinson is in line to collect $7.5MM with $6MM of that figure fully guaranteed. The Bolts will be his fifth career NFL team.
The Bolts have specialized in low-cost veteran D-linemen during Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz‘s time in Los Angeles. The team has brought in the likes of Da’Shawn Hand, Poona Ford, Teair Tart and Naquan Jones on low-cost deals. Ford and Tart played their way into bigger deals — Tart’s coming with the Bolts — after impressing for low-level money. Tomlinson checks in with a higher pay rate by comparison to the original pacts for the aforementioned D-linemen, but he has now been cut twice in two years.
The Browns released Tomlinson in 2025, and the Cardinals cut him days ago. Tomlinson follows Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave as D-tackles being cap casualties twice in two years only to find a new home shortly after. The Chargers are Tomlinson’s fifth team, as he played for the Giants and Vikings before signing a big-ticket Browns contract.
A 142-game starter throughout a nine-year career, Tomlinson has only missed seven career games. The former second-round pick logged 17 starts for the Cardinals last season. Pro Football Focus graded the run stuffer 114th among 127 qualified interior D-linemen last season. PFF viewed Tomlinson’s run defense as having fallen off considerably; the Chargers obviously disagree. Though, Tomlinson has needed to take pay cuts in each of the past two years. After the Browns moved his four-year, $57MM contract off their payroll, the Cardinals gave the 335-pound defender a two-year, $29MM accord.
Tomlinson, 32, was far more disruptive in Cleveland. He tallied a career-high 18 quarterback hits in 2024; he racked up 12 in his 2023 Browns debut season. That helped him secure the Arizona pact. Combining for 10 TFLs with the Browns, Tomlinson totaled three in 2025 with a career-low three QB hits.
Tart re-signed with the Bolts on a three-year, $30MM deal. That represents the top D-line commitment during the Harbaugh-Hortiz years. The team still rosters 2025 third-rounder Jamaree Caldwell — though, the Chargers’ Jamaree count is down to one after Jamaree Salyer joined the Dolphins today — and 2024 fourth-rounder Justin Eboigbe. Tomlinson will mix in with younger players under new Bolts DC Chris O’Leary.
In other Chargers news, Tyler Biadasz‘s three-year, $30MM deal includes $17MM guaranteed (per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson). Of that total, $15MM is guaranteed at signing. Trey Pipkins‘ third Chargers contract (two years, $10MM) carries $4.58MM guaranteed, Wilson adds. If the veteran O-lineman is on L.A.’s roster by Day 3 of the 2027 league year, he will earn a $1MM roster bonus.
Cole Strange‘s two-year, $13MM pact comes with $7MM guaranteed at signing, per OverTheCap. A $2MM injury guarantee is in place for 2027, per Wilson, who adds that figure will become fully guaranteed on Day 3 of the 2027 league year. That day also carries a $1MM roster bonus for the veteran guard. Fullback Alec Ingold‘s two-year, $7.5MM deal comes with $3.56MM guaranteed, according to OverTheCap. Safety Deane Leonard‘s latest Bolts contract is a one-year, $2MM accord, Wilson tweets. Leonard will see $1.22MM guaranteed.

Bears, Chargers Looked Into Tyler Linderbaum
Several teams were reported to have interest in Tyler Linderbaum as free agency approached, among them the Bears and Chargers, per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Though neither won the bidding war for the former Ravens Pro Bowler, both teams did their homework on the veteran center in the weeks leading up to the start of the legal free agent tampering period. 
Expected to reset the market at the center position, Linderbaum was arguably the hottest player slated to hit the open market with massive projections for his next contract. Because the Raiders’ three-year, $81MM offer blew expectations of a $25MM annual average out of the water, the Ravens, Bears, Chargers, and any other potential suitors were all forced to pivot.
Both Chicago and Los Angeles fell out of the race for Linderbaum far before the price tag rose to $27MM per year. Signs began pointing to the veteran center landing back with Baltimore or with the Raiders as the competing bidders started dropping like flies — made apparent by transactions made for other centers. After moving on from the idea of landing the highest-paid center in the NFL, the Bears traded for Garrett Bradbury, acquiring him from the Patriots. Instead of paying $27MM, Chicago was able to move forward simply by relinquishing a fifth-round pick to land Bradbury for a single season at $3.7MM.
The sign that the Chargers had dropped out of the race for Linderbaum came when the team added Tyler Biadasz after he was cut by the Commanders. Los Angeles even secured Biadasz long term, signing the 2022 Pro Bowler to a three-year, $30MM contract. Also, because he had been released from his contract before the start of free agency, he was able to join the Chargers right away and won’t count against the team’s compensatory pick calculations for next year.
The Ravens, too, will need to find a new center after their 2022 first-round pick left Baltimore in free agency. General manager Eric DeCosta was willing to go up to $88MM over four years, a $22MM AAV that would have reset the center market by $4MM per year, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. But the Raiders came in with $27MM per year and a structure that essentially guarantees all $81MM. The three-year term will also give Linderbaum significant leverage to negotiate another raise during the 2028 offseason, which was another sticking point with the Ravens.
The Raiders clearly thought it was worth every penny to land the top center option available as they close in on Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the presumed No. 1 overall pick of the draft. The rookie passer will find himself behind one of the league’s top centers. A smart, experienced interior lineman like Linderbaum should be able to take a significant load off Mendoza’s shoulders when it comes to the offense’s presnap operations and blitz recognitions. In the meantime, the Bears and Chargers have paired their young passers with veterans of their own, and the Ravens remain with a hole to fill.

Chargers Sign C Tyler Biadasz
The Chargers have found their new center in advance of free agency. Shortly after hosting Tyler Biadasz, a deal has been worked out. 
A three-year, $30MM pact has been agreed to between Los Angeles and Biadasz, Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report. The Bolts recently saw Bradley Bozeman retire, creating an opening at the center spot. A number of options are on course to test the market next week, but the team has moved quickly in landing Biadasz, whose signing is now official.
After playing out his rookie contract with the Cowboys, Biadasz was among the players who followed Dan Quinn from Dallas to Washington in 2024. He did so by also inking a 3/30 pact at that time, but the Commanders proceeded with a release last week. That gave the 28-year-old a head start on free agency and allowed him to meet with suitors. In addition to the Chargers, Biadasz was believed to have visited the Bears as part of their search for a Drew Dalman replacement. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk clarifies, however, that no Chicago summit actually took place.
In the lead-up to free agency, Chargers GM Joe Hortiz made it clear he did not anticipate any big-money additions in March. That came as little surprise given his roster-building philosophy was shaped by a long Ravens tenure, but it led to questions about how Los Angeles’ substantial cap flexibility would be used. It remains to be seen how Hortiz will address the guard position moving forward – with Mekhi Becton set to be released and Zion Johnson a pending free agent – but the center spot has now been taken care of.
Biadasz, a Pro Bowl alternate in 2024, started 53 games with the Cowboys and all 31 of his Commanders contests. The Wisconsin product will be counted to remain a first-team presence on his third NFL team while offering plenty in the way of experience. Provided the Chargers get better luck on the health front with tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, improved play up front can be expected for 2026.
Having entered Friday with over $99MM in cap space, the Bolts can certainly afford several other additions over the coming days. The guard position in particular will now be one to watch as Hortiz seeks out replacements for Becton and – in the event he lands elsewhere – Johnson.
Chargers Host C Tyler Biadasz
Now in the market for a starting center to replace the retired Bradley Bozeman, the Chargers hosted free agent Tyler Biadasz on Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
This is the second visit Biadasz has booked since the Commanders released him last week. The six-year veteran met with the Bears after No. 1 center Drew Dalman‘s stunning retirement on Tuesday.
A month after stalwart center Travis Frederick retired, the Cowboys chose Biadasz in the fourth round in 2020. The former Wisconsin Badger came off the bench in eight of 12 games as a rookie, but he became a full-time starter in his second season. Biadasz played in 49 games from 2021-23 and earned his lone Pro Bowl nod as an alternate in 2022.
Biadasz parlayed a solid run in Dallas into a three-year, $30MM contract with the NFC East rival Commanders in 2024. He continued as a full-time starter in Washington, where he played in 31 games, but the team cut him with a year left on his deal. The 28-year-old’s only absence last season came in the Commanders’ finale. He was on IR by then as a result of knee and ankle injuries he suffered in Week 17. Biadasz ended the year as Pro Football Focus’ 12th-ranked center among 37 qualifiers.
If Biadasz signs with the Chargers, he would replace another full-time starter in Bozeman. Although Bozeman topped the depth chart in all 33 of his games as a Charger, PFF was down on his work in both seasons. He was the outlet’s 31st-rated center out of 43 in 2024 and its last-ranked pivot in ’25. The Chargers’ search for a successor could point them to Biadasz, though the team has the cap room (a league-leading $99.05MM) to make a far bigger investment at the position.
The Ravens Tyler Linderbaum, PFR’s top-ranked pending free agent, is poised to sign a record-setting contract for a center. Connor McGovern, who expects to leave Buffalo, and Carolina’s Cade Mays are in the next tier of soon-to-be free agents at the position. Neither will come cheap, though, and Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz indicated last month that he does not expect to be aggressive in free agency. That could make a Biadasz signing more likely than a splashier center addition.
Bears C Drew Dalman To Retire
With free agency approaching, the Bears are suddenly in need of a center. Drew Dalman has informed the team he is retiring at the age of 27, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Dalman joined the Bears on a three-year, $42MM contract in free agency last March. The fact that he is walking away from the game 12 months later comes as a shock. Dalman’s retirement could save the Bears upward of $10MM in cap room, Courtney Cronin of ESPN notes, but it’s a brutal blow to their offensive line.
Dalman started all 17 games for the NFC North champions last season. He earned a Pro Bowl nod for the first time and ranked as Pro Football Focus’ seventh-best center out of 37 qualifiers.
Dalman’s agreement with Chicago came after he spent the first four years of his career in Atlanta. The 2021 fourth-round pick from Stanford spent his rookie year as a backup and played just 68 offensive snaps in 17 games. Dalman turned into a full-time starter in his second year and never looked back. Injuries limited him to 23 games from 2023-24, including just nine in the second of those seasons. That didn’t deter Chicago from making Dalman one of the game’s highest-paid centers. Before deciding to hang up his cleats, Dalman ranked top five at his position in total value, yearly salary and guarantees ($28MM).
The Dalman signing was just part of an offseason O-line makeover for the Bears. They also acquired guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson in trades and spent a second-round pick on tackle Ozzy Trapilo. Dalman, Thuney and Jackson joined right tackle Darnell Wright as full-time starters on what PFF ranked as the league’s third-best unit in 2025. Trapilo took the starting left tackle job from Theo Benedet in Week 12, though the rookie went on to suffer a torn patellar tendon in a wild-card round win over the Packers.
After undergoing surgery, Trapilo is expected to miss a sizable chunk of next season. Between Dalman’s retirement and Trapilo’s recovery, the Bears now have serious work to do up front for the second straight offseason.
The Bears may already have a potential Dalman replacement in mind in free agent Tyler Biadasz. The former Cowboy and Commander has lined up a visit with the Bears, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. A one-time Pro Bowler, the 28-year-old has started in 84 of 92 games since the Cowboys used a fourth-rounder on him in 2020. Biadasz started in all 31 appearances with the Commanders over the previous two seasons, but they cut him on Feb. 26. PFF graded Biadasz a respectable 12th at his position last season.
Biadasz is a credible starting option on the open market, but the Ravens’ Tyler Linderbaum is the prize among pending free agent centers. While the Ravens have already made Linderbaum a market-topping offer, he is inching closer to the March 9 legal tampering period without a deal. The Bills’ Connor McGovern and the Panthers’ Cade Mays are likely next in the pecking order of unsigned centers. Any of them could land on the radar of Bears general manager Ryan Poles, who unexpectedly needs a starting center heading into the new league year.
Commanders To Cut C Tyler Biadasz
Tyler Biadasz had one year left on a three-year, $30MM contract. The Commanders are instead moving on early. They are releasing the veteran center, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports.
This move comes shortly after the team re-signed Andrew Wylie. Despite Wylie working as a backup last season and Biadasz being a starter throughout his two-year Washington stay, the latter is out. The former Cowboys draftee should generate immediate interest as a street free agent. Because of this release, Biadasz can sign anywhere immediately — whereas UFAs must wait until March 9 when the legal tampering period begins.
A former fourth-round pick, Biadasz became a full-time starter for the Cowboys in his second season and parlayed that run into an eight-figure-per-year Commanders contract in 2024. Biadasz joined Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler in following Dan Quinn from Dallas that year. He missed only three games from 2024-25, giving the Commanders stability at center.
Pro Football Focus viewed Biadasz as a middling center during his Washington tenure, ranking him 19th at the position in 2024 and 12th in 2025. The Commanders have used free agency to plug holes since Chase Roullier‘s career ended early in the 2022 season. Roullier had been Washington’s center from 2017-22. After giving Nick Gates an opportunity in 2023, the Commanders pursued Biadasz in free agency.
Because two void years are present in this contract, the Commanders are not in position to save much money. They are poised to add just $2.89MM in cap space and see $8.1MM in dead money. A post-June 1 release would spread the latter figure over two years; it would also keep Biadasz from becoming a free agent until the new league year begins March 11.
This move comes after Biadasz suffered a knee injury on Christmas Day against the Cowboys. He finished the season on IR. The Wisconsin alum came up as a possible Commanders extension candidate weeks ago, but the team instead will change course at snapper.
The Commanders came into the day holding more than $73MM in cap space; this release will add a bit to that total. The Biadasz release follows the Titans’ Lloyd Cushenberry cut. Cushenberry disappointed on a big-ticket 2024 contract. Those two join Cade Mays, Connor McGovern and Ethan Pocic among the Tyler Linderbaum consolation prizes on this free agent market.
Linderbaum is expected to break a center record with his second contract. The rest of the crop will not be positioned to rival where the three-time Pro Bowler goes contractually. With 84 career starts and not being set to turn 29 until November, Biadasz will likely land another starting opportunity elsewhere soon.
NFC East Notes: Eberflus, Giants, Biadasz
Matt Eberflus appears set to become a one-and-done DC in Dallas. Jerry Jones‘ comments point to a firing. The Cowboys finished last in points allowed and 30th in total defense. Jones identified the secondary as a particular concern area. The group has already undergone changes, beginning with the Trevon Diggs cut.
“Probably the one that I think was the most impactful is that we had a high expectation in our secondary, and I thought we would be good at all phases of it,” Jones said, via DallasCowboys.com’s Tommy Yarrish. “… The secondary really had issues regarding personnel, time on the field, time at practice. We weren’t ambitious, we knew some of those guys would be getting back [from injury]… I would say that’s the area.”
The Cowboys played a chunk of the season without Diggs, who has battled knee trouble since his September 2023 ACL tear, and placed the recently extended DaRon Bland on IR last month. The team did not see third-round rookie cornerback Shavon Revel debut until November due to a college ACL tear, and Kaiir Elam disappointed following an offseason trade. Pro Football Focus ranks safeties Malik Hooker, Donovan Wilson and Markquese Bell outside the top 65 at the position. Changes figure to come there as well.
While Jones said blame for the defensive issues is widespread, Eberflus is widely expected to be out. By 2026, the Cowboys should have a fourth DC this decade. Here is the latest from the NFC East:
- No official decision on Eberflus will come for more than a week, according to the Dallas Morning News’ Nick Harris. The Cowboys will wait on this, planning to conduct a review before determining their staff direction. It could be up to 12 days before a decision emerges. The Cowboys regularly operate methodically here, as their past two HC changes have shown. Eberflus will now wait for his likely pink slip.
- On the Diggs topic, Brian Schottenheimer confirmed the since-waived CB was not the only one to request to stay in Washington after the team’s Christmas game. Schottenheimer denied the other players’ requests as well, via the Dallas Morning News’ Joseph Hoyt, indicating such requests would only be granted for family emergencies. The Packers have since claimed Diggs, who made his debut with the team in Week 18.
- Giants ownership will be present for the upcoming coaching interviews, Joe Schoen confirmed (via the New York Post’s Ryan Dunleavy). John Mara is battling cancer, so it will be interesting to learn how involved he will be. Co-owner Steve Tisch is based in California and does not work in the building like Mara does.
- Brian Burns earned a nice pay bump based on a performance incentive. Burns collected a $1.8MM incentive for surpassing 12.5 sacks and earning a Pro Bowl nod, with Duggan adding the Giants edge rusher’s 2026 salary will increase by $1.8MM as a result. Burns, who finished with 16.5 sacks, is signed through the 2028 season.
- Von Miller also triggered an incentive, with the future Hall of Fame pass rusher’s ninth sack earning him an additional $1MM. Miller played on a contract that brought $6.1MM in base value plus incentives this season. He is interested in staying with the Commanders; the nine sacks were the 36-year-old’s most in a season since 2021.
- Tyler Biadasz is tied to a three-year, $30MM Commanders contract. The veteran center is entering a platform year in 2026, and The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala notes he is due a $1MM bonus on April 1. The former Cowboys starter, whom Jhabvala tabs an extension candidate, is tied to an $11MM cap hit for 2026.
Minor NFL Transactions: 12/31/25
Several NFL teams completed minor transactions on New Year’s Eve to prepare their rosters for Week 18. Here are the latest updates:
Atlanta Falcons
- Designated for return from IR: S DeMarcco Hellams
Chicago Bears
- Placed on IR: LB Noah Sewell
Cleveland Browns
- Signed from the Lions’ practice squad: C Kingsley Eguakun
- Placed on IR: G Wyatt Teller
Green Bay Packers
- Signed from practice squad: S Johnathan Baldwin, QB Clayton Tune
- Placed on IR: S Zayne Anderson
Minnesota Vikings
- Waived: LB Austin Keys
New England Patriots
- Designated for return from IR: CB Alex Austin
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Signed from practice squad: OL Jack Driscoll
- Placed on IR: TE Darnell Washington (story)
Washington Commanders
- Placed on IR: C Tyler Biadasz
- Signed from practice squad: OL Julian Good-Jones
Sewell suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday night’s loss to the 49ers, ending his 2025 season and starting a length rehab process for the third-year linebacker.
Teller aggravated a calf injury on Sunday against the Steelers. He will miss the Browns’ last game of the season and is set to hit free agency this offseason. After seven years in Cleveland, Teller may need to find a new home this offseason.
Washington underwent surgery on his broken arm on Tuesday, per The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo. The third-year tight end will not be able to return in the playoffs if the Steelers qualify.
Commanders To Sign C Tyler Biadasz
Another former Cowboy is set to join Dan Quinn in the nation’s capital. Center Tyler Biadasz is expected to join the Commanders, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk adds the pact is three years in length. 
Biadasz will follow Dorance Armstrong in trekking from Dallas to Washington. While Quinn was obviously stationed on the defensive side in Dallas, the new Washington HC obviously has considerable familiarity with Biadasz. The former fourth-round pick operated as the Cowboys’ starting center for most of his tenure.
The Commanders are giving Biadasz a three-year, $30MM pact, NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo tweets. Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 adds it includes $17.5MM in guaranteed money. This will be the second straight offseason in which the team authorized an $8MM-year-per payment to a center. Washington gave Nick Gates a three-year, $24MM accord in 2023, though that came with Ron Rivera and Dan Snyder in charge. With Josh Harris and Adam Peters overseeing the offseason effort now, Gates will be out — via a post-June 1 cut — an a Quinn pick is coming in.
As the Cowboys saw Travis Frederick‘s career end early, they turned to Biadasz as the heir apparent. From 2021-23, Biadasz started 49 games. Pro Football Focus graded the Wisconsin alum as the league’s 14th-best center last season.
The Commanders are retooling up front. They do not exactly have any cornerstone blockers; this contract will aim to ensure Biadasz becomes one. But the team has more work to do along its O-line.
Cowboys Eyeing CeeDee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, Terence Steele Extensions In 2023
The Cowboys’ top extension candidates have come up on multiple occasions this year. While the team has options with each beyond this year, the goal looks to be new deals before heading into the 2024 offseason.
CeeDee Lamb, Trevon Diggs and Terence Steele remain on Dallas’ extension radar, and ESPN.com’s Todd Archer notes the team will look to use training camp to hammer out deals with each. Lamb’s contract runs through 2024, via the recently exercised fifth-year option, while Diggs is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Steele is tied to a second-round RFA tender.
This will not be an easy mission. Diggs’ reputation as a boom-or-bust gambler in coverage notwithstanding, the former second-round pick has a first-team All-Pro nod on his resume — for an 11-interception season — and does not have an extensive injury history. Diggs has missed one game over the past two years. Going into his age-25 season, Diggs will certainly want his second contract to land in the top cornerback tax bracket.
With three corners earning at least $20MM per year and five attached to contracts worth at least $19MM on average, the Cowboys have a high bar to clear. Dallas passed on going into the $16MM-AAV range for Byron Jones three years ago, drafting Diggs shortly after letting its previous top corner walk (for a record-setting Dolphins deal) in free agency. If Diggs is unsigned going into the ’24 offseason, he will likely be positioned as the Cowboys’ top franchise tag candidate.
The Cowboys have a history of extending core performers despite two years remaining on their rookie deals. They did this with Tyron Smith in 2014, with Travis Frederick in 2016 and Ezekiel Elliott in 2019. That said, no team — in the fifth-year option era, that is — has extended a wide receiver with two years left on his rookie contract. Justin Jefferson is also a candidate to become the first wideout since the 2011 CBA to be extended with two years remaining on his rookie deal, though the Vikings are not certain to proceed down this path. That could force Jefferson to contemplate a hold-in effort, and Lamb might be fine waiting until Jefferson raises the booming receiver market further before committing to a second contract. Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones mentioned players’ willingness to wait earlier this offseason.
Lamb, 24, may not be a threat to eclipse Tyreek Hill‘s $30MM-per-year pact now, but if Jefferson raises the positional ceiling and the top Cowboys wideout builds on his 1,359-yard season, the price in 2024 stands to come in higher than it likely does now. Ely Allen assessed Lamb’s extension value last month. The Cowboys cut bait on Amari Cooper‘s five-year, $100MM extension after two seasons; as the salary cap keeps rising, Lamb’s value will be much higher.
Steele is still rehabbing the ACL tear that ended his season early, and his being an extension candidate would point to the Cowboys planning an O-line configuration that keeps him as the starting right tackle. Jerry Jones mentioned the prospect of Steele being a swingman behind Tyron Smith and Tyler Smith, but the notion of the younger Smith sliding to left guard — which he did late in the season — and having the All-Decade blocker back at left tackle (and Steele at right tackle) has also surfaced. How the Cowboys proceed would have a big impact on Steele’s value.
A former UDFA, Steele, 26, can certainly enhance his market by putting together a strong contract year post-injury. Nine years after signing what has become the NFL’s longest-running active contract, Tyron Smith is due for free agency in 2024 as well. Steele’s status would seemingly factor into the Hall of Fame candidate’s Dallas future. Center Tyler Biadasz also could land on the Cowboys’ extension radar, Archer adds, though the fourth-year blocker is likely behind the above-referenced players in the queue.
The Cowboys’ ability to extend Diggs and Steele this year could affect Tony Pollard‘s future with the team. The Cowboys not entering into serious negotiations with the Pro Bowl back led to him joining Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs in being tied to the $10.1MM franchise tag this season. Because of this, Archer adds it is “highly likely” this season will be it for Pollard in Dallas. The Cowboys can tag Pollard again in 2024 — at 120% of his current tag number — but higher-end tag options could be in place by then.
That raises the stakes for prospective Diggs negotiations this summer, though the increasingly grim running back market may also allow the Cowboys to re-sign Pollard if no extension is reached before the 2024 legal tampering period.
