The early contract renewal for the 2022 first-round picks has ended. As a result, 9 of the 21 players eligible for early renewal have signed new contracts. The other players will become restricted players after playing the new season (if the home team does not directly give up on him and makes a qualifying offer).
Famous reporter Marc Stein took stock of the restricted free agents worthy of attention next year, including Ethan, Sohan, Kessler, Marcelin, Ivey, Duren, Payton Watson, and Mark Williams.
