Joe Flacco appears to be the favorite, Kenny Pickett is a veteran with a shot, Dillon Gabriel was the higher of the two draft picks this past spring, and Shedeur Sanders is, well, Shedeur Sanders. Whoever wins, it’ll be buzzy.

Terry McLaurin had his best season last year and is now entering the final year of his current contract. But there’s been little movement on an extension, despite McLaurin sitting out of minicamp in June to send a message. “I’ve been pretty frustrated, I’m not gonna lie,” McLaurin said July 15.
