Sean McVay of the Rams and Kevin Stefanski of the Browns are among The Athletic’s NFL 40 under 40.

Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams and Kevin Stefanski of the Cleveland Browns are two of four head coaches named to The Athletic’s second annual NFL 40 under 40 list, which includes some of the league’s brightest young off-field emerging stars.
Aside from head coaches, the list includes a wide range of NFL roles, from coordinators like Carolina’s Joe Brady to media workers like ESPN’s Mina Kimes.
Michael Clay, the special-teams coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, is the league’s youngest coordinator at the age of 29.
That individual had to be younger than 40 before Aug. 1 to be considered for the list, which took into account opinions from those working in and around the NFL.
In order to promote up-and-comers, certain well-known names were left off the list.

The Bengals and Sam Hubbard have agreed to a four-year, $40 million contract, according to a source.

A source told The Athletic on Sunday that the Cincinnati Bengals and defensive end Sam Hubbard have reached an agreement on a four-year, $40 million contract extension.
The news was initially reported by ESPN.
Hubbard, who was 26 years old at the time, was about to enter the final year of his rookie deal.
He was a third-round choice out of Ohio State in 2018, and in three NFL seasons, he has started 28 of 44 games.
Hubbard got two sacks, 11 quarterback hits, and three pass breakups in 13 games last season, after averaging 14.5 sacks, 22 quarterback hits, and five pass breakups in his previous two seasons.
This story will be updated when more information becomes available.

Lamar Jackson, the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, is likely to sign a contract extension soon.
Jackson’s contract is projected to pay between $40 million and $45 million per season, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
Among his contemporaries from the 2018 draft class, including Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield, his deal is seen as the most likely to be completed.
“It wouldn’t surprise anyone around the league if Jackson’s deal came in behind Mahomes’ $45 million-per-year average and ahead of Prescott’s $40 million,” Graziano writes.
Because he hasn’t been able to lead the Ravens past the second round of the playoffs in his three-year tenure, Jackson is unlikely to match Mahomes’ annual salary of $45 million.
Meanwhile, Mahomes has guided the Kansas City Chiefs to two Super Bowls in a row and three AFC Championship Games in a row.
Jackson, on the other hand, put up a promising 2020 campaign, leading Baltimore to the playoffs for the first time since 2014.
As Baltimore’s starter, the 2019 MVP has a 30-7 record and has thrown for 7,085 yards.
He also has 2,906 rushing yards, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to have multiple seasons of 1,000 yards or more.
According to Spotrac, Deshaun Watson ($39 million AAV) and Russell Wilson ($35 million AAV) are among the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks, alongside Mahomes ($45 million AAV) and Prescott ($40 million AAV).
