NFL free agency updates: Mike Evans praised, Derick Hall re‑signs, Deebo Samuel courted

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk said wide receiver Mike Evans has exceeded expectations in practice, describing him as “unguardable” and a red‑zone threat. Cardinals defensive lineman Andrew Billings recalled breaking a Texas power‑lifting record as a teenager and how that strength background helped his football development.

Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Derick Hall signed a three‑year contract extension, emphasizing his desire to win championships with the team and noting the strong pass‑rushing roster surrounding him.

Veteran receiver Deebo Samuel is being discussed as a potential addition for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Las Vegas Raiders. ESPN analyst Aaron Schatz highlights Samuel’s 727 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2025 as evidence that he still has value, while CBS Sports’ JP Acosta argues the Raiders need a player who can generate yards after the catch.

These reports reflect ongoing roster moves as NFL teams prepare for the 2026 season.
