49ers

Vic Tafur of The Athletic ranks the 49ers’ top 10 impending free agents going into the offseason:

• Tafur has WR Jauan Jennings atop his list, but could see San Francisco letting him test the market to see what his full value is. In the end, Tafur feels the $28 million franchise tag is too much for Jennings. 
• Tafur also doesn’t think the 49ers would sign K Eddy Piñeiro to the $6.8 million franchise tag for kickers. 
• Tafur has G Spencer Burford at No. 3, knowing teams like the Packers are always eager to sign young offensive linemen. 
• Tafur could see RB Brian Robinson Jr. being re-signed, with Isaac Guerendo being a cut candidate. 
• As for WR Kendrick Bourne, Tafur writes that San Francisco would like him back if he doesn’t demand a contract similar to the three-year, $19.5 million he got from the Patriots. 
• For WR Skyy Moore to return, Tafur thinks HC Kyle Shanahan would need greater plans than the five receptions he got in 2025. 
• Tafur writes that S Jason Pinnock‘s $1.17 million salary in 2025 was manageable enough for him to be brought back on next season. 
• As for LB Luke Gifford, Tafur points out that San Francisco made special teams a priority last season. Gifford made the Pro Bowl as a special teams player. 
• With G Ben Bartch, Tafur notes that the lineman was unable to stay healthy in 2025. 
• Tafur doesn’t see any reason to not bring back P Thomas Morstead or LS Jon Weeks.

Giants

The offensive coordinator is a key hire for any coaching staff, especially one charged with developing a young quarterback. New Giants HC John Harbaugh will entrust QB Jaxson Dart to the tutelage of Matt Nagy, the former Bears head coach who sandwiched that tenure around two stints as the OC for the Chiefs. Given Nagy was fired by the Bears and was allowed to walk by Kansas City, it wasn’t the most inspiring hire of the cycle. But former Cowboys HC and current NBC analyst Jason Garrett is a fan, and explained why.  

“I think Matt will be great for Jaxson [because] he has a good feel for people, really good feel for quarterbacks, good understanding of how to put the whole thing together,” Garrett said via Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. “He’ll have balanced attacks and plays that complement each other. There will be stuff that’s sound, old-school football, there will be cutting-edge things, there will be game-plan nuances. All the stuff that we’ve seen in Kansas City that he’s been such a big part of, I think you’ll start seeing some of that in New York.” 

Seahawks

Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic ranks the Seahawks’ top impending free agents this offseason:

• Dugar could see CB Riq Woolen having multiple suitors on the open market, but is unsure if he will get a similar deal to the three-year, $40 million contract CB Shaq Griffin got from the Jaguars after leaving Seattle in 2021. 
• Dugar wonders if teams will covet WR Rashid Shaheed‘s game-changing speed. If he doesn’t re-sign with Seattle, Dugar thinks he’ll have suitors on the market. 
• Regarding RB Kenneth Walker III, Dugar thinks the $14.5 million franchise tag will be too pricey. However, the $11.7 million transition tag could be a better option. 
• As for CB Josh Jobe, Dugar could see him getting a similar contract to the three-year, $33 million deal CB D.J. Reed got from the Jets in 2022. 
• Dugar writes that S Coby Bryant could get a similar contract to Seahawks S Julian Love‘s $11 million annual salary. 
• Dugar thinks EDGE Boye Mafe could become a starter elsewhere, knowing Seattle has Uchenne Nwosu, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Derick Hall under contract in 2026
• Dugar feels it makes sense to bring back OT Josh Jones, given the importance of veteran depth on the offensive line. 
• Dugar calls WR Dareke Young an important special teams player and could see him being retained. 
• The NFL announced Seahawks CB Josh Jobe was fined a total of $18,444 for his two unnecessary roughness penalties in the Super Bowl. 
• Both infractions came on the same play. With 13:24 left in the fourth quarter, Jobe was penalized for a late hit against Patriots WR Stefon Diggs while out of bounds. The next fine was generated from a punch Jobe threw on Diggs after the receiver grabbed his facemask. 
• Per Brady Henderson, Kirk Olivadotti will remain on HC Mike Macdonald‘s staff in a different role, after coaching inside linebackers for the past two seasons.
