Super Bowl LX

“Neither side is committed to it, but both I believe are expected to make it happen ... It’s not going to be hard to get done. The Eagles are open to moving him, the Patriots want him, and I believe in the end it will involve a future first-round draft pick. My guess is 2028,” Schefter told the man who only wears tank tops. It makes sense that the 2027 first-round pick would be off limits as it’s expected to be a much better and deeper draft class. The Athletic’s Chad Graff filed a post-draft 53-man roster projection in which Kayshon Boutte is a “substitution for ... Brown” and believes Boutte is the “most likely receiver to head to Philadelphia in a trade.” We still have another month before this can finally just happen.

Gonzalez will get a one-year, $18.1 million deal for 2027. The Patriots have reportedly been in extension talks with him at various points this offseason, so while nothing has gotten done yet, it’s certainly likely to be a point of discussion ahead of the season. New England’s No. 1 corner has developed into one of the best in the NFL in his first three seasons with the club.

It was almost a three-month stay on New England’s offseason roster. Seventh-rounder Jam Miller appears to have taken Mitchell’s spot on the depth chart, though Terrell Jennings is likely the third back in the pecking order behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Akers logged just nine snaps for the Seahawks in 2025, per PFF, and did not garner a touch. The veteran running back has become a journeyman in the league since being traded from the Rams to the Vikings in 2023. Akers has made multiple stops to other teams over that span, including returning to the Vikings in both 2024 and 2025. He’ll turn 27 this offseason and could land somewhere with a chance to compete for a roster spot this offseason, but his days as a viable fantasy option continue to appear long over.

Vrabel missed the third day of the 2026 NFL Draft to spend time with his family and is seeking counseling after reports emerged alleging a relationship with former NFL reporter Dianna Russini. The veteran head coach is not expected to face any disciplinary actions from the league and is presumably back operating in his normal role.

Rowser spent one season at Campbell before transferring to New Mexico State. He then headed to Arizona State, where he spent his final two college seasons. The Seahawks possess one of the league’s best safety units, even with Coby Bryant departing for the Bears in free agency. They drafted TCU S Bud Clark in the second round and are still looking for more end-of-roster players. PFF credits Rowser with four forced incompletions, 70 solo tackles, 10 TFLs and three quarterback pressures last year.

Shuler, 23, racked up 206 solo tackles, 29 TFLs, six forced incompletions, three interceptions, 46 quarterback pressures and nine sacks as a four-year college player and three-year starter at USF. He lined up as a box defender on a vast majority of snaps, though he lined up at times over the slot and as an outside linebacker as well. A decent showing could get him the chance to compete for a practice squad spot.

The Patriots drafted Jennings in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but he was one of several defenders who saw their snaps heavily cut in Mike Vrabel’s first year coaching the team. Jennings wound up playing just 280 defensive snaps in 2025. He has mostly been used on run downs. Last season, he totaled 15 quarterback pressures, two sacks and 13 tackles.

Hubbard (6’4"/260) was a stalwart for the Northwestern defense over the last three seasons, and he was able to procure 7.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss. He didn’t run at the combine while still recovering from a foot injury that limited him at the end of the year, but he’s viewed as a quality athlete with solid burst, and he gets quality reviews for his effort. If there’s a knock on Hubbard, it’s that he isn’t viewed as the strongest player and can get knocked back by bigger lineman; something he’ll obviously see more of at the highest level. He’ll likely to show the ability to play special teams while hopefully developing into a potential situational rusher in the coming years.

Dansby spent three seasons at San Jose State before transferring to Arizona in 2025. PFF credits him with nine forced incompletions, two interceptions and 18 solo tackles last year. He stands 6'/185 and did not test at Arizona’s Pro Day. He is the third cornerback drafted by the Seahawks this year.
