October 17, 2022 was highlighted by another nail-bitter for the Broncos as they lost to the Chargers 19-16 on a GW-FG by Dustin Hopkins to cap off a historically offensively-declined OT period. The Hawks locked down a key part of their young core, as De’Andre Hunter signed a $90M extension. The Panthers ended the Robbie Anderson Saga, trading the WR for two late round picks to the Arizona Cardinals. The Rockets gave Kevin Porter Jr. a new contract (4y/$82.5M) and Portland also signed promising F Nassir Little to a 4y/$28M extension.
