NFL Top 100: Jaguars DE Josh Hines-Allen is No. 63, faces Arizona Cardinals in 2025
The Cardinals face Jaguars DE Josh Hines-Allen, the No. 63 player in the 'NFL Top 100,' in Week 12. This week, the NFL had its fourth week of revealing players in the "NFL Top 100." This week was about revealed Nos. 61-70. Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride came in at No. 65. On Thursday, a player the Cardinals will face as an opponent in 2025 was included. Coming in at No. 63 is Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen. He was No. 35 in 2024. Center Mitch Morse, the Jaguars' starter last season in the final year of his NFL career, said that players like Hines-Allen make him glad he wasn't a tackle. Tight end Evan Engram called him a "game-wrecker" in both against the run and rushing the passer. His sack production declined last season. After 17.5 sacks in 2023 with 17 tackles for loss and 33 quarterback hits, making the Pro Bowl for the first time, he had eight sacks, 10 tackles for loss and 19 quarterback hits last season. The Cardinals will host the Jaguars in 2025 in Week 12. Luckily, they have the tackle quality to be able to handle or at least limit him.

49ers linked to trio of best remaining NFL free agents
San Francisco training camp is officially underway from the SAP Performance Facility in Santa Clara, Calif. That means the 49ers' 2025 NFL season is finally getting close. As San Francisco ramps up for the campaign ahead during training camp, there could still be a move or two left by the front office before the season arrives. Pro Football Network likes three of the best remaining NFL free agents as potential fits with the 49ers. PFN included free agent wide receivers Amari Cooper and Gabe Davis and free agent running back Jeff Wilson Jr. as players that would make sense in San Francisco. Cooper reeled in 44 catches for 547 yards and four scores a season ago across 14 games with the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills. The five-time Pro Bowler would make sense for a 49ers squad that doesn't have a timetable for Brandon Aiyuk's return and that has another top receiver in Jauan Jennings angling for a contract extension. Here's what PFN said about Cooper and a possible with with the 49ers: Arguably the top free agent still available, Amari Cooper has a tremendous track record and was a Pro Bowl just two seasons ago. Though he had 1,250 receiving yards in 2023, he dipped down to 547 yards between stints in Cleveland and Buffalo in 2024. Neither team used him as the top target he had previously been. Cooper deserves a chance at a starting role to prove he still has a lot left in the tank. The five-time Pro Bowl could make sense for WR-needy teams pushing for a deep playoff run like the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers. - PFN Another option at wide receiver could be Davis. Still just 26 years old, Davis was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars just one season into a three-year, $39 million contract after a disappointing 2024 campaign where he caught just 20 passes for 239 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It was easily the least productive season of Davis' career to this point and it concluded with a season-ending torn meniscus after just 10 games played. Maybe that sets the 49ers up to land Davis at a discount, though. Davis is only 26 years old, so he should have plenty of football left in him, even after his injury. He would be best suited in an offense that allows him to maximize his vertical capabilities. That said, keep an eye on some playoff contenders to consider him on a discounted one-year deal before he signs another contract next offseason. - PFN Lastly, PFN linked San Francisco to Wilson. The 29-year-old began his career as an undrafted free agent with the 49ers where he was San Francisco's leading rusher during the 2020 season with 126 carries for 600 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Wilson had just 16 carries last season with the Dolphins and a return to San Francisco is a fit that might make sense for all parties. The 49ers still have $45.3 million in effective cap space according to Over The Cap.

NFL Top 100: Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride is No. 65 in 2025
After a 111-catch season in 2024, McBride makes his debut in the 'NFL Top 100.' NFL Top 100 Players of 2025:@AZCardinals TE Trey McBride snags No. 65! @NFLFilms The Arizona Cardinals now have two players in this year's edition of the "NFL Top 100," the yearly ranking of the top 100 player in the league, as voted on by the players themselves. New outside linebacker Josh Sweat made his debut in the top 100 at No. 95. Cardinals player No. 2 to make the list is no surprise. It is tight end Trey McBride, who had a career season in 2024. He comes in at No. 65, making his top 100 debut. Seattle Seahawks safety Julian Love said that McBride deserved a spot in the top 100 "because of his production alone this year." He had 111 receptions for 1,146 yards. He trailed only Brock Bowers in receptions and receiving yards by a tight end. Love mentioned the many hurdles that McBride had last season, which increased his yards per catch. "Breaking tackles, getting extra yardage, playing with swag, playing with energy — he's a problem," he said. McBride said the leaping in the air is "just a reaction," especially since defensive backs often try to tackle him low. "I don't recommend it by any means," he added. When the Cardinals played the Green Bay Packers last season, safety Xavier McKinney didn't know much about McBride. After he had eight receptions for 96 yards in the loss to the Packers, he realized that "he is legit." McKinney said McBride reminds him of a younger version of San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle, who happens to be the only tight end getting paid more. What is next for McBride in 2025? It will be hard to top what he did last season. Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
