Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry drops some good news about Quinshon … — and more

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins had a promising rookie season that was bookended by frustration and disappointment.

A second-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Judkins missed all of training camp, the preseason, and Cleveland’s Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals while dealing with an off-field issue.

Once he took the field in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, Judkins showed why the Browns thought so highly of him in the draft. He had six games with more than 75 rushing yards, including a season-high 110 yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5, and led the Browns in rushing touchdowns (7) and rushing yards (827).

His season came to an abrupt end in Week 16, however, when he suffered a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle in a game against the Buffalo Bills that required surgery. At the time, Judkins was second among all rookies in rushing yards and tied for first among all rookies in rushing touchdowns.

The injury was severe enough that Judkins was reportedly still in a walking boot earlier this month, which led to some unfounded speculation on Cleveland talk radio that his rehab was not going well.

Fast forward to today, and it sounds as if everything is going along as planned regarding Judkins and his availability for the upcoming season.

Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Cleveland general manager Andrew Berry said that Judkins is now out of his walking boot and the expectation is that he will be “good to go” for training camp.

That is obviously good news for the Browns, as Judkins returning to the field to pair with fellow second-year running back Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders would alleviate one concern for Berry as he works through what he said would be a “heavy investment” on the offensive side of the ball this offseason.

The Los Angeles Rams have some large contract extensions looming. Puka Nacua, Kobie Turner, Byron Young and Steve Avila are all eligible for contract extensions this offseason, and Jared Verse is eligible after the 2026 season.

Those are some of the best players on the Rams, and many contend they're among the best at their respective positions in the league. Therefore, it stands to reason they'll be fighting for market-setting contracts when they negotiate with the team. Whether or not they deserve it remains to be seen, but Spotrac's Michael Ginnitti projected what their deals could look like and how they could set the new standard at their respective positions.

For Nacua, Ginnitti wrote that Nacua's market value is $38.5 million annually, which would be second behind Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase's $40 million mark. However, Ginnitti writes that a four-year, $164 million extension (which would be $41 million annually) isn't out of the question either.

Turner is a $24.9 million per year player in Spotrac's system, but Ginnitti believes the veteran defensive tackle could eclipse the $30 million when all is said and done. That would rank second behind Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs.

This is what many, including the Rams, should expect from their star players' contract demands. Both Nacua and Turner have deserved it, so it'll be interesting to see what the final contracts look like when and if the team and players agree on a new deal. And, if Young and Avila will see new contracts as well.
