Vic Tafur of The Athletic <\/a>ranks the 49ers\u2019 top 10 impending free agents going into the offseason:<\/p>\n Tafur has WR Jauan Jennings<\/a> 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.\u00a0 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<\/a> 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\u2019t the most inspiring hire of the cycle. But former Cowboys HC and current NBC analyst Jason Garrett<\/a> is a fan, and explained why.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI 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,\u201d Garrett said via Ryan Dunleavy<\/a> of the New York Post. \u201cHe\u2019ll have balanced attacks and plays that complement each other. There will be stuff that\u2019s sound, old-school football, there will be cutting-edge things, there will be game-plan nuances. All the stuff that we\u2019ve seen in Kansas City that he\u2019s been such a big part of, I think you\u2019ll start seeing some of that in New York.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic<\/a> ranks the Seahawks\u2019 top impending free agents this offseason:<\/p>\n Dugar could see CB Riq Woolen<\/a> 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.\u00a0 Looking for the latest NFL Insider News & Rumors?<\/p>\n Be sure to follow NFL Trade Rumors<\/a> on X.com<\/a>\u00a0and FACEBOOK<\/a>\u00a0for breaking NFL News and Rumors for all 32 teams!<\/p>\n
\nTafur also doesn\u2019t think the 49ers would sign K Eddy Pi\u00f1eiro<\/a> to the $6.8 million franchise tag for kickers.\u00a0
\nTafur has G Spencer Burford<\/a> at No. 3, knowing teams like the Packers are always eager to sign young offensive linemen.\u00a0
\nTafur could see RB Brian Robinson<\/a> Jr. being re-signed, with Isaac Guerendo<\/a> being a cut candidate.\u00a0
\nAs for WR Kendrick Bourne<\/a>, Tafur writes that San Francisco would like him back if he doesn\u2019t demand a contract similar to the three-year, $19.5 million he got from the Patriots.\u00a0
\nFor WR Skyy Moore<\/a> to return, Tafur thinks HC Kyle Shanahan would need greater plans than the five receptions he got in 2025.\u00a0
\nTafur writes that S Jason Pinnock<\/a>\u2018s $1.17 million salary in 2025 was manageable enough for him to be brought back on next season.\u00a0
\nAs for LB Luke Gifford<\/a>, Tafur points out that San Francisco made special teams a priority last season. Gifford made the Pro Bowl as a special teams player.\u00a0
\nWith G Ben Bartch<\/a>, Tafur notes that the lineman was unable to stay healthy in 2025.\u00a0
\nTafur doesn\u2019t see any reason to not bring back P Thomas Morstead<\/a> or LS Jon Weeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nDugar wonders if teams will covet WR Rashid Shaheed<\/a>\u2018s game-changing speed. If he doesn\u2019t re-sign with Seattle, Dugar thinks he\u2019ll have suitors on the market.\u00a0
\nRegarding RB Kenneth Walker<\/a> 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.\u00a0
\nAs for CB Josh Jobe<\/a>, Dugar could see him getting a similar contract to the three-year, $33 million deal CB D.J. Reed<\/a> got from the Jets in 2022.\u00a0
\nDugar writes that S Coby Bryant<\/a> could get a similar contract to Seahawks S Julian Love<\/a>\u2018s $11 million annual salary.\u00a0
\nDugar thinks EDGE Boye Mafe<\/a> could become a starter elsewhere, knowing Seattle has Uchenne Nwosu, DeMarcus Lawrence<\/a>, and Derick Hall<\/a> under contract in 2026
\nDugar feels it makes sense to bring back OT Josh Jones<\/a>, given the importance of veteran depth on the offensive line.\u00a0
\nDugar calls WR Dareke Young<\/a> an important special teams player and could see him being retained.\u00a0
\nThe NFL announced<\/a> Seahawks CB Josh Jobe was fined a total of $18,444 for his two unnecessary roughness penalties in the Super Bowl.\u00a0
\nBoth 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<\/a> while out of bounds. The next fine was generated from a punch Jobe threw on Diggs after the receiver grabbed his facemask.\u00a0
\nPer Brady Henderson<\/a>, Kirk Olivadotti will remain on HC Mike Macdonald\u2018s staff in a different role, after coaching inside linebackers for the past two seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
