  NFL | LSU's Garrett Nussmeier dealt with oblique issue in 2025    Tue Jan 27, 11:31 PM

LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier (oblique) suffered an abdominal injury in August, and the injury hampered him into September and October before eventually ending his season a month prematurely. 'I couldn't use my core. So, I was throwing the ball without a core,' Nussmeier said at the Senior Bowl. 'I've been having to go back from the ground up and retrain myself and get back to finishing throws and rotating through the ball. I'm actually using my core now.' He completed 67.4% of his passes for 1,927 yards and 12 TDs in 2025 before shutting it down.

  Broncos | OC Joe Lombardi fired     Tue Jan 27, 05:04 PM

Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi was fired on Tuesday, Jan. 27.

Footballguys view: The Broncos' three-point loss in the AFC Championship Game marked a sudden close to an otherwise impressive season. Denver earned its first division championship in a decade, tied a franchise record for regular-season wins, and captured the No. 1 seed in the AFC. In Sunday's snow-covered battle against the New England Patriots, the Broncos came close to the ninth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. But head coach Sean Payton is looking for more, and Lombardi's three-year run in Denver ends. QBs coach Davis Webb, who has emerged as a head coaching candidate, will be a candidate for OC if he misses out on the top job.

  Titans | Report: Brian Daboll commits to Titans OC job    Tue Jan 27, 04:52 PM

The Titans have received a commitment from Brian Daboll to become their OC, multiple sources tell NFL insider Jordan Schultz. He's in Nashville now to sign.

Footballguys view: According to Schultz, Daboll has a strong affinity for QB Cam Ward, and the two will now officially be paired together. Previous reporting suggested Daboll would join the Titans if he didn't land the Las Vegas Raiders head coaching position. Either he's found out the Raiders or is going in a different direction, or he had a change of heart. We'll watch for more details, but assume Daboll to the Titans is done.

  Jaguars | Coordinators Campanile and Udinski will return to Jacksonville    Tue Jan 27, 04:24 PM

The Jaguars announced on Tuesday that Anthony Campanile and Grant Udinski -- the club's defensive and offensive coordinators -- will return to the team for 2026. The club noted that both men agreed to terms, implying that both will receive extensions.

Footballguys view: Campanile was interviewed for Arizona's head coaching job. But Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur is undergoing an in-person interview for that job on Tuesday, and is a strong candidate to land in the role. Udinski also had interviewed with the Browns and Bills in recent days. But Udinski took himself out of consideration for Cleveland's job, and Buffalo promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach on Tuesday. Jacksonville won the AFC South with a 13-4 record in 2025, falling to Buffalo in the Wild-Card round.

  Falcons | Stefanski: OC Tommy Rees will call plays in Atlanta    Tue Jan 27, 03:31 PM

New head coach Kevin Stefanski and the Falcons hired Tommy Rees as offensive coordinator. Rees, a former Notre Dame quarterback, was in that position with the Browns last season. On Tuesday, Stefanski said Rees, 33, would be the one calling plays. Stefanski started last season calling plays before relinquishing the job to Rees last November.

Footballguys view: "That's a setup that I'm very, very comfortable with," Stefanski said. "I think he's had unbelievable experiences in his young career [and] is somebody that I trust." Rees joined Stefanski with Cleveland in 2024 as a pass game specialist and tight ends coach. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2025. For what it's worth, Falcons president of football Matt Ryan and Stefanski both said that they envision the team as one that runs the football and can stop the run. Expect Rees and the offense to lean on All-Pro running back Bijan Robinson.

  Steelers | McCarthy will call his own plays in Pittsburgh    Tue Jan 27, 03:22 PM

Since the days of quarterbacks calling their own plays, the Steelers have never had a head coach who called the offensive plays. They now do. Mike McCarthy, in his introductory press conference, was asked whether he would handle those duties. "Definitely, I will call the plays on offense, and so obviously will run the offense," McCarthy said.

Footballguys view: As PFT's Mike Florio contends, the offense has been more of a liability than a strength since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger. Even in 2025, with Aaron Rodgers playing quarterback, the Steelers ranked 25th in total offense, at 305.6 yards per game. The Steelers were 15th in scoring, with 23.4 points per game. So, McCarthy will have his work cut out for him, regardless of whether Rodgers returns for another year.

  Steelers | McCarthy definitely wants Aaron Rodgers to return for 2026 season    Tue Jan 27, 03:17 PM

They spent more than a decade together in Green Bay. New Steelers coach Mike McCarthy wants that relationship to resume and to continue. During his introductory press conference, McCarthy was asked whether it's his "personal preference," in light of the "best-case scenario," whether he wants quarterback Aaron Rodgers to return for 2026. "I mean, definitely," McCarthy said. "But, you know, I think just like anything, knowing Aaron long enough, going through seasons . . . when guys are up at that stage of their career, they need to step away and decompress. I think that's very important."

Footballguys view: McCarthy was later asked if there was a timeline for both the team and Rodgers to make a decision. "Timelines, we haven't discussed that yet," McCarthy said. They'll need to discuss it fairly soon. Free agency starts in six weeks. If the Steelers will be looking for another veteran quarterback, they'll need to have a plan. As PFT suggests, the first question is whether Rodgers wants to return to a team that doesn't have Mike Tomlin in charge. Rodgers may choose to explore other options before making a decision, with retirement always a real possibility.

  Steelers | Mike McCarthy 'excited' about Will Howard    Tue Jan 27, 02:49 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said he is 'excited' about QB Will Howard.

Footballguys view: While McCarthy was quick to acknowledge he'd like Aaron Rodgers to return for the 2026 season, free agency starts in six weeks. If Rodgers isn't returning, they'll need to have a plan. At least part of that will be Howard. "I think he's someone that I thought he really came on at Ohio State," McCarthy told reporters. "I'm anxious to work with him, so it'd be great to have Aaron back, but Will and Mason [Rudolph], I'm really excited to get started with those guys." Stay tuned.

  Jets | Team parting ways with OC Tanner Engstrand    Tue Jan 27, 02:01 PM

New York Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand and the team are parting ways on Tuesday, Jan. 27.

Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, reports in recent days indicated the Jets were working to hire former Colts and Panthers head coach Frank Reich to join the offensive staff, though not necessarily as offensive coordinator, as Engstrand occupied that role. The situation has now changed. Though Reich was set to join the Jets, New York will now have to be Rooney Rule-compliant if they want to hire Reich as the club's offensive coordinator. It stands to reason that will be the case, as Reich was reportedly set to call plays for New York with Engstrand's title remaining the same.

  Eagles | Sean Mannion set to interview for OC vacancy    Tue Jan 27, 01:32 PM

Green Bay Packers QB coach Sean Mannion will interview for the offensive coordinator vacancy of the Philadelphia Eagles this week.

Footballguys view: This will be Mannion's second interview with the club, as he previously met virtually with the Eagles. Mannion, 33, just finished his first year as Green Bay's quarterbacks coach. A Rams third-round pick in 2015, Mannion played for the Rams from 2015 to 2018. He also played for Seattle and Minnesota. In Green Bay, Mannion has worked closely with Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Mannion has also coached backup Malik Willis, who has played well when called upon. The Eagles are searching for their fifth offensive coordinator under head coach Nick Sirianni after moving on from Kevin Patullo after one season.

  Broncos | Bo Nix could be ready for training camp    Tue Jan 27, 01:28 PM

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton says it 'seems fairly optimistic' that QB Bo Nix (ankle) will be ready for training camp. Nix suffered a broken ankle that required surgery in the AFC divisional round against the Buffalo Bills.

Footballguys view: The initial phase of recovery from last week's surgery is the most challenging part of this injury. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Nix is not supposed to put any weight on his ankle for at least four weeks, and he will miss 12 weeks altogether before he can return to activity. Nix is expected to be largely recovered in time to participate in the Broncos' offseason program. Still, doctors are trying to be very intentional with what Denver's quarterback can and can't do over the next 12 weeks. We'll be watching for more.

  Titans | Brian Daboll agrees to join Titans    Tue Jan 27, 12:32 PM

Former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has agreed to join the Tennessee Titans as offensive coordinator if he doesn't land the Las Vegas Raiders head coaching position.

Footballguys view: Daboll had a second interview with the Raiders on Tuesday, however, and any move to join Robert Saleh's staff is contingent on Daboll failing to get the job in Vegas. Daboll interviewed with the Titans for the head coaching job before they hired Saleh, so they've already heard some of what he has in mind when it comes to developing quarterback Cam Ward in his second NFL season. The Raiders' timeline for naming a head coach is unclear, but things could move forward in Tennessee if they let Daboll know that he won't be getting the job.

  Patriots | Drake Maye battling shoulder issue    Tue Jan 27, 12:17 PM

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (shoulder) is battling a shoulder ailment but should be fine to play in the Super Bowl.

Footballguys view: Asked about online speculation that Maye suffered an injury in the AFC Championship Game win over the Broncos, head coach Mike Vrabel did not answer that specifically, instead saying, "There's not a player on our team that's 100 percent healthy" at this point in the year. At a press conference later in the day, Vrabel was asked if interest in Maye's shoulder has been overblown. Vrabel said it "probably" has been. The Patriots will release an injury report on Wednesday, but next week's practice and injury updates will be of greater import when setting the stage for Super Bowl LX.

Footballguys view: Daboll has options. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Titans plan to hire Daboll to run their offense. The Raiders' timeline for naming a head coach is unclear, but things could move forward in Tennessee if they let Daboll know that he won't be getting the job.

  Bills | Joe Brady promoted to head coach in Buffalo    Tue Jan 27, 12:01 PM

The Buffalo Bills are promoting offensive coordinator Joe Brady to become the club's new head coach. Brady has agreed to terms on a five-year deal.

Footballguys view: Brady arrived in Buffalo as the quarterbacks coach in 2022. He became the interim offensive coordinator in 2023, after the in-season firing of Ken Dorsey. Brady previously worked as the Panthers' offensive coordinator from 2020 to 2021. Still only 36 years old, he now gets his shot, with the reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen on his side.

  Steelers | Lunda Wells to interview with Steelers    Tue Jan 27, 09:21 AM

Dallas Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells will interview for the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator job this week. Wells worked under head coach Mike McCarthy five years in Dallas.

Footballguys view: Wells coached the tight ends for all five of McCarthy's seasons in Dallas before staying on the staff under Brian Schottenheimer. The Commanders requested an interview with Wells before promoting David Blough to offensive coordinator this month. Wells spent eight seasons on the Giants' staff before moving to Dallas in 2020. He also coached at LSU before making the move into the NFL ranks.

  Falcons | Franchise tag a possibility for Kyle Pitts?    Tue Jan 27, 12:34 AM

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts could be a candidate for the franchise tag, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who quotes an AFC executive that says the projected $15.9 million tag number is 'reasonable,' and that retaining Pitts 'seems like a good move at this stage.'

Footballguys view: The 2025 campaign was set up as a make-or-break season for Pitts. Turns out, his fifth season was his best as a pro, with 88 catches for 928 yards and 5 touchdowns. His TE2 finish overall was the kind of outcome fantasy investors have been hoping for since his 1,000-yard rookie season. While the team's QB situation is still to be determined, new head coach Kevin Stefanski leaned heavily on the tight end position. We'll all be interested to see how Pitts might fit into that scheme.

  Cardinals | Day two pick for Kyler Murray?    Tue Jan 27, 12:11 AM

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray likely will be made available in a trade this offseason, and the Cardinals are expected to look for at least a Day 2 pick in any trade, according to sources.

Footballguys view: Whether the Cardinals want to trade Murray is one of the most important offseason questions for Arizona. According to ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss, before Jonathan Gannon was fired a day after the regular season, the belief inside the Cardinals was that a decision would be reached within the first two weeks of the offseason. However, with Arizona on the hunt for a new head coach, that decision could be tabled until the new coach and his staff are in place. It's a situation that bears watching.

  Cowboys | Dallas could clash with George Pickens over contract    Tue Jan 27, 12:11 AM

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens, who is set to become a free agent, is expected to receive the franchise tag, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, but the belief is that Pickens will be seeking a 'long-term deal.' If the Cowboys don't sign him to a long-term contract, some believe Pickens will stay away from the team 'for a large portion of the offseason or even training camp.' Pickens can further apply pressure by refusing to sign the franchise tag.

Footballguys view: Pickens only broke 1,000-plus receiving yards once in his three seasons in Pittsburgh, totaling just 12 touchdowns through the air, so the Cowboys have to decide if he's a one-hit wonder or if playing next to Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb helped unlock Pickens' skill set. Although he did disappear at times, Sports Illustrated pointed out that in the three games Lamb missed due to injury, Pickens caught 19 passes for 359 yards and four touchdowns, showing his ability to carry an undermanned wide receiver room. If tagged, both sides would have until July 15 to reach a deal.

  Rams | Puka Nacua averaged over 100 yards per game    Tue Jan 27, 12:10 AM

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua averaged 107.2 yards per game during the 2025 regular season.

Footballguys view: This just in: Nacua is really good at his job. He led the league with 129 receptions, finished second in receiving yards with 1,715 passing yards and scored 11 total touchdowns. His success was all-encompassing, as he led the league in contested catches (27), according to Pro Football Focus, and finished first among receivers in yards after catch (729), according to Next Gen Stats. In addition to being a finalist for the NFL Offensive Player of the Year, Nacua finished 2025 as fantasy's WR1 overall. It's not a reach to believe he'll be the first player selected in many fantasy drafts this summer.

  Jaguars | Travis Hunter see more work at CB in 2026    Tue Jan 27, 12:07 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter will probably see more playing time at cornerback next season since the team has multiple cornerbacks that will become free agents this offseason, according to general manager James Gladstone. 'At this point walking into the offseason, corner is a position that we have a few guys who are on expiring contracts. By default, you can expect there to be a higher emphasis on his placement [at corner},' Gladstone said.

Footballguys view: Hunter's rookie season ended with 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown, 15 tackles, and three pass breakups. He played 67 percent of the team's offensive snaps and 36 percent of the defensive snaps before his season-ending knee injury Oct. 30. Hunter has been rehabbing since undergoing surgery to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee Nov. 11. We'll be watching for more, but short of roster moves to shore up the secondary, expect to see Hunter playing more defense.

  Seahawks | Jaxon Smith-Njigba a top producer in 2025    Tue Jan 27, 12:06 AM

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba averaged 105.5 yards per game during the 2025 regular season.

Footballguys view: If there was a reminder needed of how valuable Smith-Njigba is to what the Seahawks want to do offensively, it came against the Rams in the Conference Championship. He had 10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown in the victory. That kind of role doesn't happen by accident. It's also likely to persist. His monstrous workload is why Smith-Njigba finished the 2025 regular season as the WR2 overall, behind only Puka Nacua. Expect to pay a premium for JSN this summer.

  Browns | Nate Scheelhaase has a second interview for Cleveland HC opening    Tue Jan 27, 12:05 AM

Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase wrapped up his second interview with the Browns for their head coaching vacancy.

Footballguys view: Scheelhaase had his first interview with the team on January 16 and the second meeting had to wait until after the Rams participated in the NFC Championship Game. Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks freed Scheelhaase up for an in-person interview, which the Browns announced on Monday evening, and the Browns could also hire him now that the Rams' season is over. If that happens, Scheelhaase would be passing on the opportunity to interview for the Bills' head coaching job. Word of their request to interview Scheelhaase came while he was meeting with the Browns on Monday. The Browns have already seen several candidates pull their names from consideration for the job and they'll have to continue the search process if they don't come to an agreement with Scheelhaase.

  Jaguars | Tag unlikely for Travis Etienne    Mon Jan 26, 03:56 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent RB Travis Etienne is unlikely to be a candidate for the franchise tag this offseason, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco.

Footballguys view: Etienne is coming off his third 1,000-yard rushing season and posted 13 total touchdowns. He turned out to be a good fit in coach Liam Coen's offense, improved as a pass blocker, and was the team's most consistent offensive player. Still, the estimated franchise tag for a running back in 2026 (per OverTheCap.com) would be $14.153 million, which would make Etienne the fourth-highest-paid running back in terms of annual salary. The presence of 2025 draft picks Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr. will be part of the equation for Jacksonville. We'll be watching for more.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) is dealing with soreness in his oblique, but it is not believed to be a serious issue, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.

Footballguys view: The 28-year-old Darnold earned his second straight Pro Bowl honor this campaign after recording 25 passing touchdowns and 14 interceptions in the regular season. He's gone 37-for-53 with 470 passing yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions across Seattle's two playoff games -- while playing through the oblique issue. He's all but certain to do the same against the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.

  Broncos | J.K. Dobbins hopes to return    Mon Jan 26, 01:54 PM

Denver Broncos impending free-agent RB J.K. Dobbins said he hopes to re-sign with the Broncos this offseason. He said he would have been ready to play if the Broncos advanced to Super Bowl LX.

Footballguys view: The 27-year-old is coming off a 772-yard rushing performance across 10 games, with four touchdowns. While Dobbins didn't reach 1,000 yards or finish the year, his 77.2 yards per game was the best of his career by a wide margin. As The Sporting News noted, Dobbins has dealt with injuries his entire career, but as seen this past season, when behind a great offensive line, he can be a star running back. Re-signing Dobbins won't cost much and would be a high-quality move for the Broncos and George Paton this offseason.

Footballguys view: Prince has been a WRs coach in some capacity for the Jaguars, Seahawks, Lions, Texans, Cowboys, and -- most recently -- the Dolphins. While with the Cowboys, Prince coached wideout CeeDee Lamb to three consecutive Pro Bowl selections. He also coached Pro Football Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate, and Kenny Golladay during his time in Detroit.
