Alex Wright was half way through his fourth year with the team meaning he would have been a free agent at the end of the season.
Here is his previous rookie contract before the extension. There was a pay rise in the fourth season due to the Proven Performance Escalator rules. He just managed to achieve the threshold of playing over 35% of snaps in two of his first three seasons or over his first three seasons combined. This earned him an extra $1,979,149 in 2025.

It takes a few days once an extension is signed for the information to get to sites like Over The Cap for me to report on it. I never take too much notice of the initial reports including 'up to' as these come from the agent's side, and they regularly inflate the numbers using unlikely-to-be-earned incentives and others as they want to use them to attract future clients. It gives you a good steer for what the deal is likely to be, but you won't see me write on the numbers until we get everything official. Sometimes this can take a few days, you won't see me write on deals until I have the official breakdown.
