Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette has been asked to become a more reliable pass catcher this offseason and work on strengthening his connection with QB Bryce Young, according to head coach Dave Canales. 'Just keep grinding, keep working, connecting with Bryce, making sure they're on the same page. Making the plays when they come to him. It's that simple. When you get opportunity in this league, this game, all the margins are so fine. It's just critical that when you're called upon, when your number is called, you make the play. That's how you build trust and that's how you get things back on track,' Canales said.

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. |

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. |
