The Green Bay Packers (11-6) are the No. 7 seed on the NFC side of the playoffs, which means they’ll have to head to Philadelphia this weekend to take on the second-seeded Eagles (14-3). Ironically, the last time the Packers won the Super Bowl — which was Super Bowl XLV

After a bit of a delay, the Cowboys have responded to the Bears regarding Mike McCarthy.

At a news conference on Tuesday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters he expects Montgomery to be available for the team’s first game of the

Trent Baalke‘s pattern of perseverance may well continue in Jacksonville. Despite many expecting the Jaguars to clean house and rumors about a potential in-season firing coming out, their GM remains following Doug Pederson‘s Black Monday firing. This has been a rather surprising development, but the former 49ers front office boss

To make room for the former Giants starter, the Vikings waived Brett Rypien. This marks the second time this year Rypien has been let go; the Bears released him in August. Rypien had resided on Minnesota’s active roster since signing with the team two days later. As this is a

Two days after the Patriots made Jerod Mayo a one-and-done head coach, the Raiders are following suit. Antonio Pierce‘s stay as a full-time Raiders HC will be capped at one season, with NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reporting the team is firing its interim-turned-full-time coach. Rumblings about

Tyreek Hill strongly hinted that he no longer wants to play for the Miami Dolphins in a rant he delivered following Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets, but the star wide receiver has not formally requested a trade. Dolphins general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel spoke

Darren Rizzi has not been eliminated from the Saints’ full-time HC post, though considering how the only interim coach-turned-full-timer since 2017 fared, it would be rather surprising if New Orleans gave this scenario serious consideration. Antonio Pierce went 4-13 as Raiders HC and is not certain to return. The 2023

In the aftermath of the Dolphins’ Week 18 contest, Tyreek Hill caused a stir with his post-game remarks. The All-Pro wideout openly discussed moving on from Miami despite agreeing to a new contract with the team this past summer. Speculation has increased since then that a trade will take place,

Although a second team has entered the GM mix, as the Titans have fired Ran Carthon after two years, the Jets have been at this much longer. Their GM search includes several names — both second-chance candidates and aspiring first-timers — and more interview slips have since gone out. A

Robert Saleh is hoping to land another head coach job after he was fired by the New York Jets earlier this season, and at least one team is giving him an opportunity to state his case. The Jacksonville Jaguars shared a list on Tuesday of candidates they have requested to

As expected, the Jaguars fired Doug Pederson following his third season at the helm. As a result, Jacksonville is one of five teams in need of a new head coach.
