Super Bowl LX Wrap-Up: Seahawks Crowned Champions

The Seattle Seahawks have emerged victorious from Super Bowl LX, claiming the coveted NFL championship title. As the final whistle blew, the celebrations commenced in Seattle, marking a momentous occasion for the franchise and its fans. With the Seahawks now atop the NFL, the league's other 31 teams turn their attention to the upcoming offseason, plotting a path to build their own championship-contending squads for the next season.

Upcoming Free Agency: What’s at Stake?

As the thrill of the Super Bowl fades, the focus shifts to the impending free agency period, set to officially open at 4 p.m. ET on March 11. However, teams will soon be able to make contact with free agents starting March 9. The Bleacher Report Scouting Department has compiled insights on each team’s biggest offseason needs, alongside an updated 2026 draft board following the Senior Bowl. With a plethora of talent hitting the market, organizations will need to navigate free agency wisely.

Top 50 Impending Free Agents

This offseason, the top 50 impending free agents will draw significant attention. Players will be ranked based on several factors, including their recent performance, potential, age, and overall health. Below, we highlight key players expected to make waves in free agency:

1. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Despite being unable to deliver a playoff victory for the Steelers in 2025, the 42-year-old still showed he could lead a team as a starting quarterback. Rodgers may be selective should he choose to play into 2026.

2. Bobby Wagner, LB, Washington Commanders

At 35, Wagner set a benchmark for linebacker play, finishing the season with over 100 tackles for the 14th consecutive year. His experience and leadership will attract many teams if he opts for another season.

3. Joey Bosa, Edge, Buffalo Bills

While Bosa's production hasn't matched his prime years, the edge rusher still recorded five sacks and demonstrated prowess in pressuring quarterbacks. His services will likely be in demand, especially by teams needing defensive help.

4. Rashid Shaheed, WR, Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks’ playoff hero, Shaheed’s versatility both as a wide receiver and returner makes him a valuable asset. His ability to score at any given moment could generate interest across the league.

5. Deebo Samuel, WR, Washington Commanders

At 30, Samuel continues to deliver as a versatile weapon on offense, amassing over 800 scrimmage yards last season. His dual-threat capability makes him a solid option for teams looking to enhance their receiving corps.

Player Projections and Fit

In addition to determined talent, the contract projections and potential landing spots for these top free agents will shift as teams assess their needs. For instance:

• Aaron Rodgers: Potentially targeted by contenders like the Tennessee Titans.
• Joey Bosa: Likely to draw interest from teams eyeing an impactful pass rusher, such as the Chicago Bears.
• Rashid Shaheed: Could remain with the Seahawks but may attract attention from teams needing explosive playmakers.

Franchise Tag and Contract Extensions

Some players, including the Cowboys’ George Pickens, may face the franchise tag, hindering their chances of hitting free agency. On the contrary, teams like the Baltimore Ravens may choose to extend their young stars, such as center Tyler Linderbaum, before seeing them enter the open market.

Conclusion: What Lies Ahead

With the confetti settled from Super Bowl LX, the real test begins for NFL franchises across the league. The critical free-agency period promises to shape the rosters of every team significantly. The Seahawks will revel in their title while others are strategizing to taste that success in the coming year. Fans eagerly await the upcoming free agency frenzy, where every signing could reshape a team’s fate for the upcoming season.
