Titans | Brian Daboll might be fit in Tennessee Wed Jan 21, 12:00 AM
Former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has interviewed for several head coach and offensive coordinator positions, but there is belief in some circles that he could be new Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh's offensive coordinator choice. It is believed Daboll would have autonomy in Tennessee working under a defensive-minded coach.

Link to storyCam Skattebo, who is recovering from a season-ending ankle injury, will be ready for the offseason program, GM Joe Schoen said. "He'll be fine," Schoen said about the 23-year-old running back. "He'll actually be prepared for the offseason program on April 6th. He should be good."
| Footballguys view: Skattebo suffered a dislocated ankle in Week 8 when the Giants were on the road in Philadelphia. He underwent successful surgery that night and was discharged the next day. In his limited action this past season, Skattebo ran the ball 101 times for 410 yards (4.1 avg.) and five touchdowns. He also played a significant role in the passing game, catching 24 passes for 207 yards and another two scores. |
Nabers has made enough progress in his rehab that Giants General Manager Joe Schoen expressed optimism that the 2024 Pro Bowler will be ready for training camp in late July.
| Footballguys view: Nabers underwent surgery to repair the torn ACL in his right knee on Oct. 28. He was on a cane on the sideline while watching the season finale against the Cowboys on Jan. 4. Nabers made 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie and had 18 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns in 2025 before his season-ending injury in Week 4. We'll be watching this one closely. |

Green Bay Packers CB Trevon Diggs was released on Tuesday, Jan. 20.
| Footballguys view: Diggs was claimed off waivers in late December after the Cowboys released him. But he did not make an impact for the club. While Diggs played 33 defensive snaps in the regular-season finale against Minnesota -- during which the Packers rested their starters -- he was on the field for just one snap in the postseason loss to Chicago. Though he led the league with 11 interceptions in 2021, Diggs has played just 22 games since the 2022 season. We'll be watching to see what the future might hold. |

Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter interviewed for the head coaching vacancy of the Las Vegas Raiders for a second time on Wednesday, Jan. 20.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders have interviewed 14 candidates thus far, although two of them -- Kevin Stefanski and Jeff Hafley -- have been hired by other teams. Hafley was on the list of second interviews with Las Vegas, but his agreement with Miami leaves Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero as the only other reported candidate set to meet with the team again. The Ravens and Browns have also scheduled second interviews with Minter, who seems likely to land a top job this cycle. Stay tuned. |

Tennessee Titans offensive line coach Bill Callahan was hired in the same capacity by the Atlanta Falcons Tuesday, Jan. 20.
| Footballguys view: Callahan comes to the Falcons with a coaching resume that spans four decades through the college and professional ranks. Callahan joined the league in 1995 as offensive line coach for the Eagles. From there, he spent time with the then-Oakland Raiders and worked his way up from offensive line coach to offensive coordinator to head coach by 2002. When newly-hired Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski created his Cleveland Browns staff in 2020, Callahan joined as offensive line coach. He quickly became a vital cog and someone Stefanski leaned on. Now, he'll reprise that role in Atlanta. |
Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady for the Arizona Cardinals head coaching vacancy Tuesday, Jan. 20.
| Footballguys view: Brady has been a popular candidate in this coaching cycle, as he has also talked with the Falcons, Raiders, and Ravens. He is set to have a second interview with Baltimore. We'll continue monitoring. |
Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison will not face charges and now will prepare for the filing of a civil claim arising from the alleged wrongful arrest.
| Footballguys view: Addison, 23, was arrested on a misdemeanor trespassing charge last Monday at 3:46 a.m. He was later released on bond. A positive outcome is great, as this remains an important offseason for Addison. The Vikings will have to decide whether or not to pick up the former first-round pick's fifth-year option. Addison is emerging from a down season, in which he caught a career-low 42 passes for 610 yards (he also had six drops). We'll be watching for more. |

Former Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott highlighted roster weaknesses in a meeting with general manager Brandon Beane and team owner Terry Pegula five weeks ago, but sources said neither Beane nor Pegula was pleased with McDermott's assessment. There are unnamed players that held McDermott in high regard that are skeptical of the decision to fire McDermott.
| Footballguys view: Despite the common outside view that Josh Allen's supporting cast was what has mainly held the Bills back in their Super Bowl quest, WGRZ's Vic Carucci contends Beane managed to convince Pegula that coaching was the primary culprit. Carucci went on to suggest that how he pulled that off is hard to understand, considering McDermott might very well have done the best work of his career in leading the Bills to a 12-5 record with glaring weaknesses at wide receiver and on the defensive line. Whatever the case, the search for McDermott's replacement is on. |
Minnesota Vikings passing game coordinator/DBs coach Daronte Jones has been requested for an interview for the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator opening.
| Footballguys view: Jeff Hafley was the team's coordinator, but he agreed to become the Dolphins' next head coach on Monday. Jones has been the Vikings' defensive backs coach/pass game coordinator since 2023. Jones has already interviewed with the Cowboys and Jets this month. The Giants also requested an interview with him. As Profootballtalk.com suggests, a move up the ladder in Minnesota isn't out of the question as Brian Flores remains in the mix for head coaching jobs, and all of the interest in Jones suggests that there's a good chance he'll be running a defense somewhere next season. |
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (knee) is likely to be released and designated a post-June 1 cut, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, who writes it remains 'unclear' when he'll be able to return after dislocating his knee. Louis-Jacques adds that this would be the 'most fiscally reasonable solution.'
| Footballguys view: New GM Jon-Eric Sullivan will have to decide on the futures of several players, including Hill. With Sullivan stressing the importance of team culture, it's hard to imagine a scenario in which Hill is part of this franchise going forward. The real question is what teams might be interested in the veteran speedster. We'll be watching for more. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings is a free-agent-to-be, and he deferred to his agent when questioned about whether he would play under the projected franchise tag of $28 million for 2026.
| Footballguys view: According to USA Today's Kyle Madson, the 49ers aren't sure to tag Jennings given the inflated one-year valuation, so he's likely to test the unrestricted free agent market for the first time in his career. With 1,618 yards and 15 touchdowns on 122 receptions over the last two years, it's understandable Jennings may want to look elsewhere to see if there's a sizable payday for him. However, ESPN's Nick Wagoner also noted Jennings "got a bit emotional" while discussing his time with the 49ers, so it's tough to rule out a return if the market isn't to his liking. |

The Titans are expected to hire San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as the team's head coach, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo reported late Monday night, per sources.
| Footballguys view: Saleh, 46, is back at the helm after his second stint as the 49ers' defensive coordinator. He previously spent three-plus seasons as the New York Jets head coach (2021-24). Saleh's coaching record as a head coach was 20-36. Before taking the head coaching job in New York, Saleh spent four seasons as the 49ers' DC from 2017 to 2020. Saleh's return in the Bay Area saw season-ending injuries to Nick Bosa (torn ACL) and Fred Warner (ankle), but he still guided San Francisco to the 13th-ranked scoring defense this past campaign. |
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is not expected to return on his 'current deal,' in the opinion of ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, who writes that trading Tagovailoa 'will be tricky' based on his level of play and money remaining on his contract. Louis-Jacques adds that the Dolphins could 'sweeten' any trade package for their quarterback by 'including a draft pick.'
| Footballguys view: Louis-Jacques explained that cutting Tagovailoa would result in a $99 million dead cap hit, whether it's all at once this season or spread across the next two seasons; trading him will be tricky considering his play over the past two seasons and the money he's owed. After an injury-shortened 2024 season, Tagovailoa led the NFL in interceptions at the time of his benching this season with a career-high 15, while sporting a career-low 37.4 QBR. This is a situation fantasy investors will want to monitor. |

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams was hurried a league-leading 94 times during the 2025 regular season and also led the league by being blitzed 174 times during the season.
| Footballguys view: The Bears experienced a significant turnaround in Ben Johnson's first season as coach. They went from five wins in 2024 to 11 in 2025 en route to the NFC North title. The Bears won their first playoff game in 15 seasons when they beat the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round on Jan. 10. Williams was a big part of it, but there are areas in which both the QB and his team must improve. In particular, Williams said he plans to address his accuracy and footwork during the offseason. We'll be following his progress all offseason. |
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams recorded a league-high 12 drops during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Yes, this was an issue, and Williams has room for improvement. As previously noted, there was still plenty to like here. Williams ranked third in the NFL with 23 receptions of 20-plus yards in 2025, and his 17.2 yards per reception ranked third among players who appeared in at least 10 games. He also posted career bests of 65 catches and 1,117 receiving yards en route to a WR21 finish. Williams will work on improving his strength this offseason. He'll likely work on his receiving as well. |
Updating a previous report. Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday, Jan. 19.
| Footballguys view: Dobbins needs to be activated off the injured reserve to play this week and there is no guarantee that he will be ready for Sunday. Stay tuned. |

Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley officially agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins Monday, Jan. 19, to become their new head coach.
| Footballguys view: Hafley comes to a Miami team in dire need of an identity shift, with plenty of questions to answer after two consecutive losing seasons. The Dolphins in recent years developed a reputation for soft play, featuring speed over enforcers, and that showed in the team's 24th-ranked scoring defense. Considering that's Hafley's specialty, he'll be counted on to transform the culture into something more hard-nosed, and a decision at QB will be the focal point in Miami. |
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) will be day-to-day this week, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. 'Balancing making sure we get enough reps at the proper tempo, with the proper looks, you know, and getting Sam the reps he needs,' Macdonald said Monday, Jan. 19.
| Footballguys view: Darnold, who played through an oblique injury suffered in last Thursday's practice, Macdonald said there were no setbacks. "To my knowledge, he's good," Macdonald said. "He didn't make it worse or anything, but I'm sure he's sore. This is something that we're going to have to navigate the rest of the week." Macdonald said there was almost no doubt that Darnold would play, even on the day the injury happened, both because of the way he responded to the setback and because of the toughness he has shown the team this season. We'll be monitoring Darnold's progress all week. Stay tuned. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III matched a franchise record with three rushing touchdowns, 116 rushing yards and 19 carries in the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: That was the Walker that fantasy investors who landed him last summer expected all season. With Zach Charbonnet suffering a torn ACL against the 49ers, Walker will have ample opportunity against the Rams this week. Walker is currently the only healthy running back on the 53-man roster, but the Seahawks also have veteran backs Velus Jones Jr and Cam Akers on the practice squad. Additionally, George Holani, who has been on injured reserve since late November due to a hamstring injury, could be a candidate to return. However, he has not yet be designated to return to practice. |
Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed had a 95-yard kickoff return for touchdown to open the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers to open the game.
| Footballguys view: It was just the third postseason kickoff return for touchdown in franchise history, and only the 28th kickoff return for touchdown in a playoff game in NFL history. |

Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani (hamstring) is an option to return from the Reserve/Injured list, head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday, Jan. 19.
