With the recent massive extension of Jeffery Simmons, the discussion around market-resetting contracts has shifted to the New Orleans Saints. Among potential candidates are quarterback Tyler Shough, offensive tackles Kelvin Banks Jr. and Taliese Fuaga, and edge defender Chase Young. Shough's performance will be critical in determining if he can emerge as a franchise quarterback worthy of a top-tier deal. Banks and Fuaga, both first-round picks, could also secure significant contracts if they develop into elite starters. Young needs a standout season to position himself for a market-resetting contract. The Saints' roster currently lacks guaranteed market-resetting players, but these young talents have opportunities for breakout seasons.
