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. On Monday, it was learned a trio of offensive coordinators were on the Jaguars’ radar: Ben Johnson (Lions), Liam Coen (Buccaneers) and Joe Brady (Bills). All three have

Don’t disregard ESPN analyst Rex Ryan in the New York Jets’ head-coaching search. Per ESPN’s Rich Cimini, Ryan will interview with the Jets on Tuesday in Palm Beach, Florida.

Ran Carthon is out as the Titans’ general manager after two years. The team announced on Tuesday Carthon has been fired while noting head coach Brian Callahan will be retained. Tennessee moved on from Jon Robinson late in the 2022 season, his seventh at the helm. Carthon was hired as his replacement, and he

Unsurprisingly, Mike Vrabel is among the most sought-after candidates in the 2025 hiring cycle. Already on the radar of the Jets and Patriots, the former Coach of the Year is drawing further interest. The Bears have lined up an interview with Vrabel, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

To no surprise, Mike Vrabel is one of the most sought-after candidates in the 2025 hiring cycle. Already on the radar of the Jets and Patriots, the former Coach of the Year is drawing further interest. The Bears have lined up an interview with Vrabel, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

While the Cleveland Browns raised some eyebrows when they once again reworked the contract for quarterback Deshaun Watson in late December, Browns general manager Andrew Berry dropped somewhat of a bombshell when he revealed on Monday that Watson had suffered a setback in his recovery from the ruptured Achilles he went down with this past October. In a

Like the Jets as a whole, Sauce Gardner did not live up to expectations this season. The two-time All-Pro was not selected to the Pro Bowl, as the Jets plummeted to 5-12 despite regular playoff expectations. The team still has some extension matters to navigate. The three first-round picks the

If you told most NFL fans before the 2024-25 season that two rookie quarterbacks would lead their teams to the postseason, they would probably be surprised to learn Caleb Williams wasn’t one of them. Instead, it’s Denver’s Bo Nix and Washington’s Jayden Daniels, who immediately helped their squads over-perform compared

While the Patriots are set to revamp their coaching staff, it sounds like the front office will be staying intact.

The Jaguars could have had the most attractive opening in the 2025 NFL hiring cycle. Instead, owner Shad Khan’s decision to retain general manager Trent Baalke makes it one of the worst. On Monday, the team announced it fired head coach Doug Pederson, one day after the Jaguars ended the

Despite a career-year for quarterback Joe Burrow and a receiving triple-crown award for Ja’Marr Chase, the Cincinnati Bengals will miss the NFL playoffs. Burrow, who set new personal bests with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns, still called the 2024-25 season a failure. After a 4-8 start to the season,

Deshaun Watson will remain on the books for the Browns in 2025, but it remains to be seen when he will be healthy enough to play.

Unsurprisingly, the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs clinched the AFC’s No. 1 seed following a dominant 15-win season.

As Khan’s statement notes, Baalke will remain in place for 2025. The former 49ers GM has been at the helm of the Jaguars since 2021, predating Pederson’s arrival. The collective struggles the pair has endured over the past two years led many to believe sweeping changes could be made this

The Bears have been busy sending out head coaching interview requests Monday. To no surprise, most of their targets are currently coordinators on their respective teams.
