NFC Notes: 49ers, Eagles, Redskins

49ers

• Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee suggests Sammy Watkins as a free agent receiver who could make sense for the 49ers to target this offseason.
• Barrows could also see Colts WR Donte Moncrief making sense for San Francisco.
• As for positions he could see the 49ers prioritizing in free agency, Barrows lists pass rusher, cornerback and interior offensive line.
• Barrows thinks the 49ers are more likely to allow RB Carlos Hyde to walk in free agency than bring him back for the 2018 season.
• We have Watkins, Moncrief and Hyde all featured in our Top 100  – 2018 NFL Free Agents list.

Eagles

Nick Foles said Tuesday that he’s “grateful” to be part of the Eagles’ organization and his future will be sorted at a later time.

“Absolutely. I’m grateful to be here, to be part of this organization,” Foles said, via Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. “I can’t wait to play the game. After the game, that’s where you have time to sort of reflect on the year, and that’s what we’ll do. I’ll spend time with my family and use that family time. The future will take care of itself. I’m grateful to have signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles and be here. I’m excited to watch Carson get healthy and get back on his feet and hopefully being part of him getting back to where he was.”

There has been recent speculation about the Eagles making Foles available for trade during the offseason, seeing as he’ll be in the final year of his contract and this would allow Philadelphia to recoup some draft value for him.

Foles said he’ll worry about possibly being traded when the time comes.

“You know what? We’ll worry about that if that time comes,” Foles said. “I’m just grateful to be in this position and be with this team.”

• Washington has also agreed to sign Smith to a four-year, $94 million extension that includes $70 million guaranteed. (NFLTR)
