Contract Futures for the 2025 NFL Award Finalists
Most Valuable Player
Drake Maye (QB, Patriots)
The 23-year-old is entering Year 3 of his rookie contract, and will become extension-eligible after the upcoming season. His outstanding first two seasons has him valued at $60M right now in our system.
Matthew Stafford (QB, Rams)
The almost 38-year-old has 1 year, $40M remaining on his contract that becomes fully guaranteed on March 15th.
Josh Allen (QB, Bills)
The 29-year-old has 5 years, $272M remaining on his contract, $90M of which is secured right now. Another $18M is set to guarantee on March 15th, while the next 4 years, $214.5M remains practical.
Trevor Lawrence (QB, Jaguars)
The 26-year-old has 5 years, $230M remaining on his contract, $66M of which is secured right now. Another $18M is set to guarantee on March 15th, while the next 3 years, $125M remains practical.
Christian McCaffrey (RB, 49ers)
The 29-year-old has 2 years, $30M remaining on his contract, none of which is currently secured. If he’s on the roster April 1st, a $10.5M option bonus becomes due.
Defensive Player of the Year
Myles Garrett (ED, Browns)
The 30-year-old has 5 years, $178M remaining on his contract, $62M of which is currently secured. Another $11M is set to guarantee on March 13th, while the next 3 years, $98M remains practical.
Will Anderson (ED, Texans)
The 24-year-old has 1 year, $5.5M remaining on his rookie contract, but the Texans are fully expected to exercise his $27M 5th-year option soon. Furthermore, Anderson has put himself in position to lock in a top of the market extension in the coming weeks, currently projecting toward a 3 year, $105M deal in our system.
Micah Parsons (ED, Packers)
The 26-year-old has 4 years, $165M remaining on his contract extension, $79M of which is currently secured. This is a 3 year, $120M contract for practical purposes.
Nik Bonitto (ED, Broncos)
The 26-year-old has 4 years, $88M remaining on his contract, $15M of which is currently secured. Another $24M becomes fully guaranteed on March 15th, making the next 3 years, $61.5M practical.
Aidan Hutchinson (ED, Lions)
The 25-year-old has 5 years, $184.8M remaining on his contract, $40M of which is currently secured. Another $19.8M becomes fully guaranteed on March 13th, while the next 4 years, $140M are safe for practical purposes.
Offensive Player of the Year
Puka Nacua (WR, Rams)
The 25-year-old has 1 year remaining on his rookie deal, with a salary projected to escalate to around $5.8M thanks to a proven performance bonus. He’s also extension-eligible for the first time now, carrying a $38.5M valuation. But it’s largely expected that Nacua surpasses Ja’Marr Chase’s $40.25M AAV.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR, Seahawks)
Like Nacua, JSN is now extension-eligible for the first time this winter. However, as a 1st-round pick, Seattle also holds a 5th-year option for 2027 that is currently projected to cost around $28M (the price of the franchise tag). With that said, it’s largely expected that the Seahawks tack on a top of the market extension for their star WR, who currently carries a $38M valuation in our system (but should break $40M).
Bijan Robinson (RB, Falcons)
The nearly 24-year-old enters 2026 with $3.7M fully guaranteed, and a $14M+ 5th-year option salary soon to be in place for 2027. Now extension-eligible, it’s largely expected that the Falcons will take steps to lock Robinson into a multi-year commitment. He projects toward a 3 year, $57M ($19M APY) deal in our system currently.
Drake Maye (QB, Patriots)
The 23-year-old is entering Year 3 of his rookie contract, and will become extension-eligible after the upcoming season. His outstanding first two seasons has him valued at $60M right now in our system.
Matthew Stafford (QB, Rams)
The almost 38-year-old has 1 year, $40M remaining on his contract that becomes fully guaranteed on March 15th.
Comeback Player of the Year
Stefon Diggs (WR, Patriots)
The 32-year-old has 2 years, $45M remaining, including $1.7M fully secure. Another $6M is set to become fully guaranteed on March 13th.
Dak Prescott (QB, Cowboys)
The 32-year-old has 3 years, $140M remaining on his contract, $40M of which is fully guaranteed right now. Another $45M (his 2027 salary) is set to lock in on March 15th.
Trevor Lawrence (QB, Jaguars)
The 26-year-old has 5 years, $230M remaining on his contract, $66M of which is secured right now. Another $18M is set to guarantee on March 15th, while the next 3 years, $125M remains practical.
Christian McCaffrey (RB, 49ers)
The 29-year-old has 2 years, $30M remaining on his contract, none of which is currently secured. If he’s on the roster April 1st, a $10.5M option bonus becomes due.
Aidan Hutchinson (ED, Lions)
The 25-year-old has 5 years, $184.8M remaining on his contract, $40M of which is currently secured. Another $19.8M becomes fully guaranteed on March 13th, while the next 4 years, $140M are safe for practical purposes.
