Carolina Panthers impending free-agent LB Christian Rozeboom is a player the Panthers may be interested in re-signing depending on the price, in the opinion of The Athletic's Joseph Person.

Carolina Panthers impending free-agent P Sam Martin and LS J.J. Jansen are two players the Panthers would like to re-sign this offseason, according to The Athletic's Joseph Person.
Link to storyKansas City Chiefs impending free-agent WR Tyquan Thornton said he would be interested in re-signing with the Chiefs this offseason. He will be looking to sign with a team this offseason where he can contribute on offense.
| Footballguys view: Thornton finished the 2025 season with 19 catches for 438 yards and three touchdowns. He was acquired at the end of the 2024 season as a developmental player. Thornton ended up being more than that with the absence of Rashee Rice for the first six games due to suspension, and with Xavier Worthy slowed by injury. The speedy former second-round pick found ways to stand out on deep pass plays, making him a constant home-run threat and disrupting the defense. A return at a reasonable price isn't a reach. |
Baltimore Ravens WR DeAndre Hopkins said he wants to play at least one more season.
| Footballguys view: The one-year, $5 million contract Hopkins signed last March expires when the new league year begins in 2026. With Jesse Minter as the new head coach, Hopkins' future with the club is uncertain at best. Hopkins was the Ravens' third option behind Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. Hopkins' 37 targets were similar to Rashod Bateman (38) and Isaiah Likely (35) as he logged 22 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns, career lows in nearly every significant receiving category. It's hard to justify a similar salary this year. |

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs said he expects to return to the team next season, but the team will have control of his future with the organization.
| Footballguys view: Outside of Sunday's Super Bowl loss, this past season was a success for the 32-year-old as he became the Patriots' first 1,000-yard receiver since 2019. Diggs' performance was impressive considering he was coming off a season-ending knee injury. Whether or not the Patriots want him back, however, remains to be seen. Diggs is signed for two more years, but his base salary of $20.6 million isn't fully guaranteed; the Patriots could move on without major financial repercussions. Still, Diggs was their best offensive weapon, leading the team in receptions (85) and receiving yards (1,013). It's a situation to watch. |

Former Miami Dolphins and New York Jets head coach Adam Gase reportedly agreed to terms on a contract to join the Los Angeles Chargers as a passing game specialist on Monday, Feb. 9.
| Footballguys view: The 47-year-old Gase hasn't been a coach at any level since he was head coach of the Jets in 2019 and 2020. Before that, he was head coach of the Dolphins from 2016 to 2018, and before that, he was an offensive coordinator for the Bears and Broncos. As Profootballtalk.com noted, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh has shaken up the offensive coaching staff by firing coordinator Greg Roman and hiring Mike McDaniel to replace him. And now the Chargers have added a second former Dolphins head coach to their offensive staff. |
Los Angeles Rams assistant head coach/pass game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant met with the Arizona Cardinals regarding their defensive coordinator vacancy on Monday, Feb. 9.
| Footballguys view: After hiring head coach Mike LaFleur, the Cardinals need to find a defensive play-caller to lead their defense. Pleasant is familiar with LaFleur after spending the last three years with him in Los Angeles. Pleasant has coached in the NFL for the past 13 seasons, also spending time in Washington, Cleveland, Detroit, and Green Bay. Pleasant is also expected to meet with the Browns for their opening. |
Los Angeles Rams assistant head coach/pass game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant is expected to meet with the Cleveland Browns regarding their defensive coordinator vacancy on Monday, Feb. 9.
| Footballguys view: Currently, Pleasant is the Rams' assistant head coach and pass game coordinator, but could be in line for a bigger role elsewhere. An interview with the Arizona Cardinals was taking place first, followed by a meeting with Cleveland. Pleasant previously interviewed for the Los Angeles Chargers' defensive coordinator job but was passed over for Chris O'Leary. |
Carolina Panthers defensive pass-game coordinator Jonathan Cooley is receiving interest from the Cleveland Browns regarding their defensive coordinator vacancy, and the Browns have requested permission to interview him, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: According to USA Today, the highly-regarded assistant coach has spent the last three seasons with Carolina. Cooley was hired by the Panthers in 2023 as their cornerbacks/secondary coach. He received a promotion to his current post ahead of the 2024 campaign. Before landing in Carolina, Cooley worked his first three NFL seasons for the Los Angeles Rams. He served as a defensive quality control coach, assistant secondary coach, and defensive backs coach there from 2020 to 2022. |
New York Giants outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen was requested for an interview with the Cleveland Browns for their defensive coordinator post.
| Footballguys view: Cleveland needs a new defensive coordinator because Jim Schwartz says he doesn't want to be back in Cleveland after he was passed over as head coach. Bullen could be a good candidate for the Browns' job, and he is also a candidate to be the Cardinals' defensive coordinator. And, according to Profootballtalk.com, if he doesn't get one of those jobs, he's likely to be back with the Giants. |
Former Minnesota Vikings offensive line coach Chris Kuper was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles Monday, Feb. 9, in the same capacity.
| Footballguys view: Kuper spent the past four seasons in the same role in Minnesota, where he crossed paths with new Eagles OC Sean Mannion. Now, they're teaming up in Philly. |
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (shoulder) indicated that he received a pain-killing injection in his right shoulder prior to the team's Super Bowl LX loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Maye missed one practice and was limited in another leading up to the game, but he did not carry a designation on the final injury report.
| Footballguys view: Whether it was the injury or just the intense pressure from Seattle's pass rush, Maye struggled. After hurting the shoulder in the AFC Championship game, Maye was limited in one practice and then held out of another during the off week. But he said he felt he turned a corner upon arriving in California on Feb. 1 and practiced fully in the Patriots' three workouts leading up to the game. Maye said Thursday that he was feeling great, although he had still been listed on the injury report all last week, per NFL rules. He did not have a designation. |
After earning a Super Bowl victory, Klint Kubiak is officially on his way to Las Vegas. The Seahawks' offensive coordinator was mum about reports that he would be the next Raiders head coach, saying during Super Bowl week that he was solely focused on doing everything he could to bring a second Lombardi Trophy to Seattle. Now that that task is handled, Kubiak confirmed to NFL Network's Stacey Dales he's on his way to Vegas. "You guys know I'm going to Las Vegas, so I'm fired up about it," Kubiak said.
| Footballguys view: The move can be openly discussed following a Super Bowl victory. "I'm really happy for Klint. Without him, we wouldn't be here," coach Mike Macdonald, who now has to find a new OC, said. Levi's Stadium is a special place for the Kubiak family. A decade after his father, Gary, won a Super Bowl in Santa Clara with the Broncos, Klint takes home his first Super Bowl ring with a victory in the very same stadium before heading to Vegas to take the reins of the Raiders. |
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs' 49 total touchdowns are the most in NFL history by a player age-23 or younger.
| Footballguys view: Since being selected 12th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, Gibbs has done exactly what the Lions envisioned -- and more. In addition to the touchdown production, Gibbs has averaged 5.3 yards per carry over three seasons. He's solidified himself as a cornerstone of Detroit's offense, and that's not going to change in 2026, even with a change of offensive coordinators. Gibbs, who finished as RB4 in 2025, will be locked in as a top pick this summer. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy converted an NFL-record 58% of his passes on third and fourth down into first downs in 2025.
| Footballguys view: Purdy played well when healthy, completing 230 of 342 attempts for 2,569 yards, 22 touchdowns, and three INTs. He also ran the ball 47 times for 208 yards and three scores. Despite injuries to him and his supporting cast, Purdy's 19.9 points per game over nine games ranked sixth among all QBs. Purdy will likely be available as a tail-end QB1 in drafts this summer. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray will likely be traded or released this offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rappoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: Murray made just five starts in 2025, throwing for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions before suffering a foot injury in Week 5. He went on injured reserve, and by December, the Cardinals decided he would not come off of it. Murray is guaranteed $36.8 million regardless of what happens, but if he's on the team's roster past the first week of the new league year, which begins March 11, he is guaranteed an additional $20 million. Thus, the Cardinals and new head coach Mike LaFleur have a pretty obvious deadline to make a final decision. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones is expected to receive trade interest from multiple teams this offseason, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: Nonetheless, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the 49ers have no plans to trade Jones this offseason and fully intend to bring him back as Brock Purdy's backup. Jones is under contract for another year at a salary cap number of $3.07 million. Jones got ample opportunity to show off his skills in 2025. He threw for 13 touchdowns and six interceptions while averaging 268.9 passing yards in eight starts in place of an injured Purdy. The Niners went 5-3 and stayed in the playoff mix with Jones under center. That's the kind of insurance policy teams covet. |

Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins has a chance to remain with the Falcons next season, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Adam Schefter, however, reports that Cousins is expected to be released before the start of the new league year in March. The Falcons recently restructured Cousins' contract with the idea that it would be easier for both sides if the four-time Pro Bowler was released sooner rather than later, giving Cousins the optionality that he wanted and adding financial flexibility for Atlanta. Releasing Cousins would further open up the quarterback position in 2026 for the Falcons, whose new regime has not yet committed to Michael Penix Jr. as the starter. Stay tuned. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught at least one touchdown in seven of his last nine games this season.
| Footballguys view: Higgins finished the year hauling in 59 receptions for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns. Despite missing two games because of two separate stints in the concussion protocol, he still set a career high in touchdowns and finished as WR17 in total fantasy points. It's not unreasonable to expect a healthier Higgins, working with a healthier Joe Burrow, to push closer to joining teammate Ja'Marr Smith in WR1 territory in 2026. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter (knee) will make a full recovery from his knee injury and should be a standout player for the team next season, according to head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Questions about his role will persist, however. Hunter, who played 67 percent of the team's offensive snaps and 36 percent of the defensive snaps before his season-ending knee injury Oct. 30, is expected to see playing time at cornerback this season. "At this point, walking into the offseason, corner is a position that we have a few guys who are on expiring contracts," general manager James Gladstone recently said. "By default, you can expect there to be a higher emphasis on his placement [at corner]." We'll watch for more in coming weeks. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent WR Mike Evans felt better after this season than he did in the last few seasons and seems to be on track to continue playing, according to agent Deryk Gilmore.
| Footballguys view: Evans missed seven games with a broken collarbone, but returned and caught six passes for a season-high 132 yards, including a 45-yard reception, in a late-season loss to Atlanta. He showed speed, quickness, and agility, and brought energy to the offense. But Evans caught only 30 passes and saw his NFL record-tying streak of 11 straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons come to an end. Evans will be an unrestricted free agent next month. If he does decide to play, will it be in Tampa Bay? Two years ago, Evans received interest from the Chiefs and Texans. He could draw interest again. |

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill's (knee) availability for the 2026 season is uncertain at this point, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: "It is unclear at this point when or even if Tyreek will be ready to play in 2026," Pelissero said. "The health, plus his age of 32, the money would all point toward Tyreek, at least for now, being out in Miami." Hill played in just four games in 2025 and caught 21 balls for 265 yards and a touchdown. His knee issue may accelerate the veteran wideout's regression as he gets into his 30s, as Hill failed to reach the 1,000-yard mark even in a full 2024 season. We'll be watching for more. |
Tyreek Hill player page
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett may be placed on the trade block if the team decides to keep QB Kyler Murray, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: While there's considerable reporting that suggests Kyler Murray will be moving on, Fowler believes the door to Murray staying in Arizona is still possible. New coach Mike LaFleur is familiar with Murray's game. Nothing is decided as LaFleur sorts through staffing issues. Keeping Murray could prove the path of least resistance. If he stays, Brissett would become a workable trade candidate. He's due a reasonable $4.88 million in base salary. Fowler notes that Brissett has friends in the league -- such as Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski and Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich -- who could have interest in getting him. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold earned a $1 million incentive by winning Super Bowl LX.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com reminded readers, all year, we heard that Darnold couldn't win the big game. Now that he's won the biggest game there is, Darnold's critics will have to come up with a new excuse not to embrace him as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks -- one who's just entering his prime. In fact, sources told CBS Sports insider Jonathan Jones that if they won the Super Bowl, Seattle would consider giving Darnold a contract extension this coming offseason. If so, the million he earned Sunday won't even be the tip of the iceberg. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III was named the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl LX, gaining 135 rushing yards on 27 carries and catching two passes for 26 yards.
| Footballguys view: By the time Seattle and New England headed to the locker room at halftime, Walker had 94 yards on 14 carries, the second-highest rushing total in an opening half in Super Bowl history. He became the first running back to win the MVP award since Broncos running back Terrell Davis won it in 1997. Walker's finishing flourish came at a good time in his career. He is slated to be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in March after playing the final year of his rookie contract with a salary cap number of just under $2.7 million. |
Seattle Seahawks PK Jason Myers made a Super Bowl-record five field goals during the team's 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX.
| Footballguys view: Myers made field goals of 33, 39, and 41 yards in the first half, then made another 41-yard field goal in the second half, staking Seattle to a 12-0 lead. Then late in the fourth quarter, Meyers made history, kicking a 26-yard field goal to set the Super Bowl record with five made field goals in a game. Myers also kicked 2 extra points, giving him a Super Bowl record for a kicker with 17 points. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 19 of his 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown and added five rushing yards in a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. RB Kenneth Walker III gained 135 yards on 27 carries and caught two passes for 26 yards, and RB George Holani chipped in six rushing yards on two carries and caught a seven-yard pass. WR Cooper Kupp finished with a team-high six receptions on 12 targets for 61 receiving yards, and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in four of his 10 targets for 27 yards. TE AJ Barner caught four passes for 54 yards and a touchdown, and WR Rashid Shaheed gained 27 yards on a pair of receptions. LB Ernest Jones led the defense with 11 tackles, including 10 solo stops, and LB Uchenna Nwosu returned an interception for a touchdown. S Julian Love also had an interception, and DT Byron Murphy II and DE Derick Hall both had two of Seattle's six sacks, and Murphy also recovered a fumble.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote, "Led by defense and special teams, armed with a quarterback nobody believed in and run by a 38-year-old, second-year coach whose personality remains opaque to almost everyone outside of his building, the Seattle Seahawks kept their heads down and kept winning." And that coach, Mike Macdonald, is now the third-youngest head coach ever to win the Super Bowl -- and he did it in just his second season with the Seahawks. With Darnold heading into his second season in Seattle and MacDonald at the helm, the Seahawks' future is bright. |
