Under contract: Blessuan Austin, Bryce Hall, Lamar Jackson, Javelin Guidry, Corey Ballentine, Zane Lewis, Kyron Brown
UFA: Brian Poole, Arthur Maulet
Game plan: They have some young talent, but there's no CB1 -- and maybe not a CB2, either. The 49ers have six corners hitting free agency, including Richard Sherman, Jason Verrett and K'Waun Williams. It wouldn't be a shock if one ends up reuniting with Saleh. Poole, 28, is a solid nickel back and could return on a one-year deal.
Under contract: Ashtyn Davis, J.T. Hassell, Saquon Hampton, Elijah Campbell
UFA: Marcus Maye, Bradley McDougald, Matthias Farley, Bennett Jackson
Game plan: Priority No. 1 is retaining Maye, the Jets' top free agent. The franchise tag (an estimated $11.2 million) is definitely in play if they can't agree to a long-term deal. With a drop in the salary cap, both sides might want to kick the can down the road into 2022. If the coaches don't feel comfortable with Davis in the other spot, they can turn to Keanu Neal (Atlanta Falcons), who played for new defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.
