#1 Los Angeles Rams

Matthew Stafford enters the final year of his contract with zero money guaranteed beyond 2026, while both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are on expiring deals — three core skill-position players all playing for their next contract at once.

#2 Arizona Cardinals

Both of Arizona's projected 2026 quarterbacks are playing on one-year “prove-it” deals — Jacoby Brissett re-signed on a reworked $15.5M contract after Kyler Murray was released in March, and Gardner Minshew has pushed his way into the quarterback conversation — giving the Cardinals two skill-position players with their next contract squarely on the line.

#3 Cincinnati Bengals

RB Chase Brown is playing out the final year of his rookie contract after extension talks with Cincinnati stalled this offseason, while 41-year-old backup QB Joe Flacco is back on a one-year deal behind Joe Burrow.
