NFL training camps begin this week, which means focus turns to the field. But there is still much off-field business to be done before the start of the 2021 season, and each year that business includes contract extensions for teams' key players.
Whether it's a young quarterback getting paid big money for the first time, an offensive or defensive lineman elevating the salary ceiling for his position or just an important player the team wants to lock up before he gets too expensive, the NFL is dotted with players for whom the two months between now and the start of the season could be extremely rewarding.
