What happened: The agreements landed within three days and carry a combined maximum value of $197.75 million. Two reach at least $75 million, while the third can rise to $47 million.
Why it matters: Teams are again committing premium guarantees before elite backs reach the open market. The surge could influence upcoming extension talks across the position.
By the numbers: The deals are worth up to $75 million with $51 million guaranteed, $75.75 million with $51.5 million guaranteed, and $47 million with $39 million guaranteed.
What to watch: Training-camp negotiations will test whether the spending extends beyond the top tier. New guarantees will provide the clearest measure of the market's durability.
