49ers land Jack Jones on terms after visit

Free-agent cornerback Jack Jones has agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers after his visit, returning to the NFL after starting all 17 games for the Dolphins last season (980 snaps) with 77 tackles, an interception, six pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

49ers add starting-caliber cornerback Jack Jones on a one-year pact

The San Francisco 49ers signed cornerback Jack Jones to a one-year deal. Jones started all 17 games for the Dolphins last season and logged heavy snap counts in two seasons between the Dolphins and Raiders, adding veteran depth to San Francisco’s cornerback room. Despite being undersized at 5’10” and 171 lbs, he’s been deployed primarily as the field corner with occasional slot/dime duties, and he has produced 18 pass breakups and four interceptions across 2023–24.

Hunter’s Two-Way Dream Dims as Jaguars Move Him to Cornerback

Hunter’s Two-Way Dream Dims as Jaguars Move Him to Cornerback

The Jaguars’ 2025 trade-up for Travis Hunter aimed to give them a rare two-way star at WR/CB, but Ian Rapoport reports the team will move him to full-time cornerback with limited pass-game use. The shift dampens the two-way hype, and with only a small CB sample size (plus a season-ending injury) concerns grow that Hunter may not justify the No. 2 pick or the trade cost if he can’t excel at corner. The article argues the Jaguars likely overpaid for a potential bust, though Jacksonville should remain strong in 2026 regardless of Hunter’s role, and suggests alternate, more traditional drafting paths.

Colts Eye Trade Partner for Veteran CB Kenny Moore

Colts and veteran cornerback Kenny Moore are exploring a trade ahead of the draft; Moore, 30, is under contract for 2026 with a restructuring that lowers his immediate cap hit and a pact that voids in 2027. A trade could create cap savings and help Indianapolis get younger at corner, potentially paving the way for Justin Walley to take over the slot.

Jaguars set Travis Hunter for majorly CB role after rehab

Jaguars GM James Gladstone says Travis Hunter’s knee rehab is progressing and he’ll be limited in the offseason, with full clearance expected for training camp. The team plans to use him as a full-time cornerback with occasional wide receiver duties, per Ian Rapoport, signaling a shift to a solo CB role after Hunter’s two-way college success and a mixed rookie season.

Chiefs’ 2026 mock drafts edge-first, then cornerback reinforcements

The Kansas City Star’s 2026 mock draft 2.0 shifts to defense, projecting Rueben Bain Jr. as the No. 9 edge rushER and Tennessee’s Colton Hood as a first-/early second-round cornerback to bolster KC’s depleted secondary after losses of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. Bain’s shorter arm length is debated, but proponents point to his burst and versatility, suggesting he could start immediately if drafted.

Commanders eye LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane as a potential No. 7 pick after standout pro day

With cornerback depth thinning after free agency, the Commanders are weighing Mansoor Delane, LSU’s top-tier corner, as a potential No. 7 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Delane impressed with a 4.35-second 40-yard dash at LSU’s pro day and has an in-person visit on the books, signaling Washington GM Peters’ desire for a high-ceiling, immediate contributor. If Washington keeps the No. 7 pick, Delane could be a Day 1 starter with All-Pro potential, though the team may also trade down to address multiple defensive needs.

Chiefs bet on depth and draft to retool their secondary

Kansas City plans to rebuild its secondary with depth and affordable veterans rather than splash signings, relying on Spagnuolo to maximize what they add. They may pursue a veteran edge like Cameron Jordan, work around roughly $10 million in cap space, and could trade Trent McDuffie for draft capital to reset the roster—leaning on Day 3 picks and undrafted free agents to fill the back end while aiming to preserve their Super Bowl window.

A Kansas City Star mock draft envisions the Chiefs bolstering defense early with two top-30 picks in 2026: No. 9 would target LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane and No. 29 Missouri edge Zion Young. It’s followed by seven additional selections on Days 2–6, including WR Denzel Boston, CB Daylen Everette, TE Michael Trigg, RB Demond Claiborne, S Jakobe Thomas, OT Drew Shelton, and WR Eric Rivers, as KC weighs defensive needs against offensive depth ahead of the Pittsburgh draft.

Bengals at No. 10 projected to draft LSU cornerback in Kiper mock

Mel Kiper's latest mock has the Bengals at No. 10 and selecting LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane, a pick meant to bolster the leaky pass defense but that could spell the end for DJ Turner or Dax Hill in Cincinnati. With no clear quarterback prospect at the top and limited trade-back options, Cincinnati may look to move down, though finding a partner could be difficult.
