It's good business to break out in a contract year. It's even better business to break out for a team that goes on a long NFL playoff run. Ask the guys on the 2021 Rams.

Veteran pass-rusher Von Miller turned a dominant postseason into a six-year, $120 million pact with the Bills. Wideout Odell Beckham Jr, cut by the Browns earlier in the season, was two quarters away from a significant new deal before tearing his ACL during Super Bowl LVI.
