Ravens | Baltimore eyeing Brian Angelichio for OC Fri Feb 3, 12:51 PM
Minnesota Vikings pass-game coordinator Brian Angelichio has a second interview with the Baltimore Ravens for their offensive coordinator vacancy, according to a source Friday, Feb. 3.
| Footballguys view: Angelichio has been around the league in various capacities, most recently with the Vikings as pass-game coordinator and before that with the Panthers as the tight ends coach. He's been in the coaching ranks for 10 years, and hiring him would be an interesting move for QB Lamar Jackson and the Ravens' passing attack. |

Seattle Seahawks associate head coach Sean Desai was requested to interview with the Denver Broncos for their defensive coordinator vacancy Friday, Feb. 3.

Ravens | Todd Monken meeting with Ravens again Fri Feb 3, 10:46 AM
University of Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken is interviewing for the Baltimore Ravens' offensive coordinator spot for the second time Friday, Feb. 3.
| Footballguys view: Monken is a finalist for the Ravens' OC job with Dave Canales (Seahawks QB coach) in the running as well. He's been a coordinator before in the NFL, with the Browns and the Buccaneers, and Monken has been a big part of what the Bulldogs have done. His offense has helped Georgia win back-to-back National Championships. |
Ravens | Dave Canales to meet again with Ravens Fri Feb 3, 10:39 AM
Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Dave Canales will have a second interview for the Baltimore Ravens' offensive coordinator spot Monday, Feb. 6.

49ers | Steve Wilks to interview with SF Fri Feb 3, 10:36 AM
Former Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks will interview for the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator post Monday, Feb. 6.
| Footballguys view: Wilks has done a great job building defenses across the league, and we think he's looked good as a head coach. As the interim head coach for the Panthers in 2022 after they fired Matt Rhule, Wilks had the team playing good football. The 49ers would get a great coordinator in Wilks, and he's inherit a defensive roster with top-tier talent. |
Broncos | Brian Flores requested for DEN interview Fri Feb 3, 10:05 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers LBs coach and senior defensive assistant Brian Flores has been requested for an interview for the Denver Broncos' defensive coordinator position.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos are likely to lose DC Ejiro Evero to another team, likely as a head coach or a defensive coordinator. To replace him, new head coach Sean Payton immediately goes to one of the best in the business - former head coach Brian Flores. The Broncos defense was the lone bright spot with the team in 2022, and anyone who takes it over will have fine talent to work with. |

Rams | Hope to Build on Akers' Late Season Production Thu Feb 2, 05:22 PM
Jordan Rodrigue, from the Athletic, reports the Los Angeles Rams are hoping to build off the late-season production of RB Cam Akers.
| Footballguys view: With new OC Mike LaFleur, the Rams should implement more wide-zone concepts with Akers being the primary beneficiary. If healthy, Akers could be quite productive in that system which makes him an RB2 with upside consideration. |

Chargers | Role Developed for RB Kelley Thu Feb 2, 05:20 PM
Eric Smith, from Chargers.com, reports new Los Angeles Chargers OC Kellen Moore thinks a role started to develop for RB Joshua Kelley in 2022.
| Footballguys view: With Moore running the show on offense in 2023, we might see Kelley get a larger backup role behind starter Austin Ekeler. Kelley will have to compete in training camp for the no.2 job with Isaiah Spiller. |

Falcons | Releasing Mariota Saves Money Thu Feb 2, 05:19 PM
Josh Kendall, from the Athletic, reports the Atlanta Falcons could release QB Marcus Mariota before June 1 to save $12 million in cap space.
| Footballguys view: It's a matter of "when" and not a matter of "if" with the Falcons release of Mariota. They'll designate him a post June 1 cut, save some money and then decide on which direction they'll go at the quarterback position for the 2023 season. Mariota should draw interest from teams in need of a veteran backup. |

Falcons | Ridder May Not Be Seen as Future Thu Feb 2, 05:16 PM
Josh Kendall, from The Athletic, reports it is not known if the Falcons will stick with QB Desmond Ridder as their starting quarterback because "no one inside the building is talking."
| Footballguys view: Ridder was an interesting third-round pick for the Falcons in the 2022 NFL draft. While some felt he should have been a first-round pick, that always seemed like folly. Ridder has natural talent, which is easy to see, but he needs to be better under duress. We'll see if he can speed up his processor as he continues to develop his pro game. The Falcons should release QB Marcus Mariota and look for a veteran to sign who will compete with Ridder in training camp. |
Bengals | WR Higgins Could be Traded? Thu Feb 2, 05:14 PM
Paul Dehner Jr, from The Athletic, believes the Cincinnati Bengals could trade WR Tee Higgins for a top draft pick if contract extension numbers are "outrageous and it's clear the two sides won't see eye to eye."
| Footballguys view: There are huge paydays coming in the near future for QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja'Marr Chase. The Bengals may not have the money to pay Higgins in this plan as well. If the two sides are off the mark, the Bengals could see what they'd get in return for Higgins. |

Rams | Could Have Interest in FA QB Mike White? Thu Feb 2, 05:10 PM
Zack Rosenblatt, from The Athletic, believes the Los Angeles Rams could be interested in New York Jets QB Mike White who is set to be a free agent this offseason.
| Footballguys view: That would make a lot of sense. New Rams OC Mike LaFleur worked well with White as the starter over former no.2 overall pick Zach Wilson. With veteran QB Matthew Stafford returning from a spinal injury that cut his 2022 season short, the Rams need to have a backup they can trust. |
