Biggest remaining offseason priority for each NFC team: Can 49ers placate Deebo Samuel?

Should the Panthers make a play for Baker Mayfield? Can the 49ers keep Deebo Samuel happy? Marc Sessler zeroes in on the biggest remaining offseason priority for each NFC team.

Much of the 2022 offseason is in the rearview mirror, with a number of top NFL free agents off the market and the NFL draft complete. However, there are still pressing matters for each team to address before the 2022 NFL season kicks off on Sept. 8.

Arizona's decision to ship a first-round pick to Baltimore for Marquise "Hollywood" Brown appeared less desperate after learning about the six-game ban slapped on centerpiece wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Brown shores up a crew that also includes Rondale Moore and A.J. Green, but the Cardinals aren't without holes. Adding a veteran presence at cornerback would lift a fresh-faced group fronted by Byron Murphy (24 years old) and Marco Wilson (23). Jeff Gladney was signed in free agency -- to the tune of $4 million guaranteed -- but the former 2020 first-rounder of the Vikings missed all of last season due to a domestic violence charge, of which he was later acquitted. There's youth and potential in this group, but it's not a chore to visualize the Bird Gang getting scorched on occasion by pass-happy air squadrons.
