With Evan Engram set for free agency, Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke says he hopes to retain the tight end.

"Obviously, we would love to have Evan back," Baalke said.

"Evan and I visited yesterday, and he went around the building and visited with everybody. I think it's mutual. Now we got to make it happen. That's something that we're going to work on with Evan, and all the other free agents that we have. We have a list of them that we got to mow down one at a time."

Engram signed a one-year, $9 million deal with the Jaguars after five up-and-down seasons with the New York Giants.

Aaron Rodgers has not decided whether he intends to play football in 2023 -- let alone with what team that would be.

However, he did acknowledge on the The Pat McAfee Show that his current contract probably isn't viable for the Green Bay Packers or any other team.

Rodgers has $59.465 million guaranteed if he plays in 2023, as part of the three-year, $150 million contract extension he signed in March. It carries a salary-cap charge of $31,623,570 for next season.

"There's a lot of teams, because of COVID, that are strapped, and you're seeing with a lot of different contracts, they're pushing more money out in deals," Rodgers said.

"They're creating void years to allow for an easier cap hit, so there would have to be some adjustments, for sure."

The contract as it currently exists makes it difficult, but not impossible, for Rodgers to be traded.

Ezekiel Elliott has made it clear that he wants to remain with the Dallas Cowboys.

"I've definitely thought about it," the running back said after the Cowboys' playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers. "I want to be here. I don't have a crystal ball. Can't predict the future, but definitely want to be here."

Elliott is due a $10.9 million base salary in 2023, which comes with a $16.72 million cap hit. If the Cowboys cut him before June 1 it would come with an $11.86 million dead-money hit while saving $4.86 million. 

A post-June 1 designation would leave $5.82 million on the 2023 salary cap with $10.9 million in short-term savings.

The New York Giants are planning to move forward with Daniel Jones at quarterback, says general manager Joe Schoen.

Jones, 25, is a free agent at the end of the season. The Giants plan to negotiate a long-term deal, but they'll have the franchise tag to use as well.

"We'd like Daniel to be here. He said it [Sunday], there is a business side to it. But we feel like Daniel played well this season. He's done everything we've asked him to. ... We would like to have Daniel Jones back," Schoen said.

Rob Gronkowski never seriously considered a return to the NFL this season despite interest from some teams.

"This year my mindset wasn't even close to going back out on the field," Gronkowski said. "Even when a couple teams called me, it just wasn't there. The situation was the right situation, but my mindset wasn't there. I feel like my mindset just isn't there, even going into this offseason. I would say it's a very slim chance."

Gronkowski, a four-time Super Bowl champion and member of the NFL's 100th Anniversary All-Time Team, had 55 catches for 802 yards and six touchdowns during the 2021 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Baltimore Ravens publicly insisted on Thursday that they believe Lamar Jackson wants to remain with the franchise long-term.

"I truly believe Lamar wants to finish his career in Baltimore," Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said Thursday in the team's 45-minute, end-of-season news conference.

DeCosta spoke with Jackson on Thursday and began the media session by saying he was excited to restart contract negotiations with him.

If no new deal is completed by March, Baltimore will place the franchise tag on Jackson to keep him from becoming an unrestricted free agent.

Without a new deal, the Ravens can keep Jackson in Baltimore for only two more seasons with the franchise tag.

DeCosta declined to say whether the Ravens would entertain trade offers for him.

"That's not something we're going to talk about at this point," DeCosta said.

It appears likely that the Baltimore Ravens will use the franchise tag on Lamar Jackson if they can't sign him to a long-term contract this offseason.

Doing so would allow other teams to negotiate with Jackson and sign him to an offer sheet. If the Ravens don't match an offer sheet, they would get two first-round draft picks from Jackson's new team.

There have been rumors that Jackson would like to return to his hometown of Miami and play for the Dolphins. However, the Dolphins don't have a 2023 first-round pick.

There is a loophole for Miami, though, if they were able to sign Jackson to an offer sheet after this spring's NFL Draft. Then, if the Ravens don't match, Baltimore would get the Dolphins' first-round picks in 2024 and 2025.

The Dallas Cowboys plan to stick with Brett Maher against the San Francisco 49ers this weekend, but they've signed Tristan Vizcaino to the practice squad as kicking insurance.

Maher missed four extra points in Monday's playoff win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After the game, Jerry Jones said Maher would continue as the kicker, and on Tuesday, Mike McCarthy and special teams coordinator John Fassel backed him as well.

Vizcaino spent part of the 2020 offseason with the club.

The Seattle Seahawks have given Jason Myers a new four-year deal that ties the kicker to the team through the 2026 season, according to sources.

The contract is worth $21.1 million and includes incentives that bring its max value to $22.6 million. The kicker's deal was set to expire in March.

Myers, 31, becomes the second-highest paid player at the position behind Justin Tucker.

He made 34 of 37 field-goal attempts this season, including all six of his tries from at least 50 yards.

Cincinnati Bengals president Mike Brown wants to keep Joe Burrow over the long-term, but he understands that it will come at a price.

Brown echoed Burrow's recent comments about the window for a potential Super Bowl run lasting his whole career, exceeding the span of his team-friendly rookie contract. Brown also referenced the balance of Burrow's impending payday with the ability to sign other top players.

"He's going to have a long career," Brown said. "We certainly want it to be here. I think his window will extend over his whole career. But there is the fact that when you don't have to pay the quarterback some extraordinary amount, that leaves room to pay other players more and, therefore, you can keep more players that are good players."

Burrow, the top overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, has one year remaining on his rookie contract, which includes a fifth-year option that teams can exercise on players selected in the first round. However, because Burrow has now been in the league for three seasons, he is eligible for a contract extension.
