As soon as our players can realize that it's a team thing, it's not an individual thing, we're gonna be successful.'

Kansas 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. |

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. |
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. |
