Landing spots for top remaining free agents: Examining perfect fits for Jauan Jennings and Joey Bosa Playing free agency matchmaker with the top remaining names By Jordan Dajani Mar 14, 2026 at 9:44 am ET • 8 min read Getty Images NFL teams were wheeling and dealing in free agency this week, as the new league year began on Wednesday. In fact, NFL.com says players agreed to contracts worth a total of $2.3 billion during the first eight hours of the negotiating period. Pass rusher Jaelan Phillips cashed in with the largest deal of free agency thus far, signing a four-year, $120 million deal with the Carolina Panthers that pays out on average $30 million per year. The Indianapolis Colts also found a way to keep both wide receiver Alec Pierce and quarterback Daniel Jones . The former signed the most lucrative contract for a wide receiver in free agency history, putting pen to paper on a four-year, $114 million deal. As for Jones, he reportedly agreed to a two-year, $88 million deal -- making him just the fourth quarterback in NFL history to receive two multiyear contracts worth $40 million per season, joining Dak Prescott , Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen , according to CBS Sports Research. While the action has died down a bit, there are still plenty of big names looking for new deals. Where could veteran pass rusher Joey Bosa land? What about Stefon Diggs and Deebo Samuel ? Below we will play free agency matchmaker with the top remaining players searching for new contracts. 2026 NFL free agency tracker: Updates on top 100 free agents, including Kyler Murray signing with Vikings Carter Bahns WR Jauan Jennings Jauan Jennings SF • WR • #15 TAR 90 REC 55 REC YDs 643 REC TD 9 FL 1 View Profile Jauan Jennings is an underrated wideout who presumably has not found the kind of market he expected in free agency. He's underrated for a number of reasons. One, he possesses good size at 6-foot-3, 212 pounds. Two, he's a great blocker and tough competitor who gets under opposing players' skin. And three, he has stepped up for the San Francisco 49ers every time they've asked him to. The former seventh-round pick had a career year in 2024, catching 77 passes for 975 yards and six touchdowns, then came back and caught 55 passes for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns in 2025. He ranks second on the 49ers in receptions and receiving yards over the last two seasons, behind George Kittle , and is tied with Kittle for most receiving touchdowns over the past two seasons with 15. Jennings also established himself as a trusted target. He has more receptions (47) and receiving yards (546) on third down than any other 49er over the past two seasons, and led the team in red-zone targets, fourth-quarter targets and third-down targets. The Tennessee Titans are already a top spender in free agency, but I don't think they are done. The Friday release of cornerback L'Jarius Sneed freed up $11.4 million in cap space, and the Titans also gained $24.3 million in space thanks to an NFL cap adjustment. Tennessee signed slot weapon Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year, $70 million deal, but the work at wideout is not done. It's unknown if Calvin Ridley will be back after fracturing his fibula last year, leaving Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike as the returning starters. I'll say the Tennessee kid and former University of Tennessee star returns to ... Tennessee. EDGE Joey Bosa Who wouldn't want to see the Bosa brothers together? Joey Bosa joining Nick Bosa in San Francisco would be fun. While the elder Bosa turns 31 this summer, he actually led the NFL with five forced fumbles in his one season with the Buffalo Bills . The 15 games he played last year were his most since 2021, which was a step in the right direction for the oft-injured pass rusher, and Bosa recorded 29 tackles and five sacks. His 77 career sacks rank 10th in the NFL since his rookie year in 2016. The 49ers also have former first-round pick Mykel Williams returning from a torn ACL, but overall this group recorded a league-worst 20 sacks in 2025. Bosa is an addition that makes sense. WR Deebo Samuel Deebo Samuel WAS • WR • #1 TAR 99 REC 72 REC YDs 727 REC TD 5 FL 0 View Profile The Denver Broncos are the only team in the NFL to have not agreed to terms with a free agent outside of their own building this offseason. Many have tried to hypothetically pair Deebo Samuel and Sean Payton for years. Now, he's actually available. Payton has often talked about his "Joker" position -- which is a player that can line up anywhere and everywhere on offense, and affect the game in different ways. That's Samuel. Samuel was the Washington Commanders ' leading receiver last season with Terry McLaurin's health struggles, as he caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns, and added 75 rushing yards and another score. Those 75 rushing yards marked a career low for Samuel in seasons where he played at least eight games. He would easily clear that total if Payton got his hands on him. The Broncos
