Myles Garrett set the NFL record with 23 sacks last season, but he won’t be satisfied until he has the career sack record as well.

According to reports, James’ projected salary for the 2026-27 season is around $50 million. For the Los Angeles Lakers, it puts them in a tricky situation if they sign the four-time champion to that deal. The Lakers are also prioritizing signing Austin Reaves to a new contract extension.

The former Miami product is coming off a dominant collegiate campaign. In 2025, Mesidor guided the Hurricanes to the National Championship Game while racking up an ACC-leading 12.5 sacks, 17.5 tackles for loss, and four forced fumbles.
