A contract-heavy episode of 3 & Out breaking down some of the biggest financial storylines across the NFL. The show opens with a deep dive into Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s megadeal and what it signals about the evolving wide receiver market. That leads into a discussion on Puka Nacua’s looming payday and how the Rams may approach locking up one of the league’s rising stars. From there, the focus shifts to the draft with a look at Ty Simpson and whether he has a legitimate path to becoming a first-round pick. The evaluation includes team fits, upside, and how he stacks up against the rest of the quarterback class. Next, John discusses Travis Kelce’s new contract in Kansas City, what it means for the Chiefs’ window, and how the organization continues to manage its core around Patrick Mahomes.
