Link to storyChicago Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham has been hired as the general manager of the Atlanta Falcons, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Cunningham has been up for a GM job for at least the last few years. He's climbed the ladder through the scouting community, starting with the Ravens back in 2008. A former offensive lineman, Cunningham is known as a hard worker, and he's got an eye for talent (see what he's done with the Eagles and the Bears). The Falcons have work to do, but Cunningham could get them the players to get them on track in a year or two. |
Atlanta Falcons senior offensive assistant Ken Zampese and passing game coordinator T.J. Yates are joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' coaching staff and are expected to keep the same titles, according to a league source.

Former Baltimore Ravens strength and conditioning coach Ron Shrift is joining the New York Giants' coaching staff, according to a league source.
Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has agreed to a deal to become the defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to a league source.
| Footballguys view: Graham had been with the Raiders since 2022 and through three different head coaches (Josh McDaniels, Antonio Pierce, Pete Carroll). New Steelers HC Mike McCarthy hired Graham to be the Packers' linebacker coach back in 2018, so the two have a previous working relationship. The Steelers are known for their defense, and Graham is tasked with helping bring them back to being championship contenders. |
Dallas Cowboys assistant offensive line coach Ramon Chinyoung is being hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers as their running backs coach, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman has a good chance to remain on the roster because head coach Joe Brady said he believes in Coleman and expects him to improve. 'He's going to continue to grow, but the elements that we saw in the draft process -- the confidence that I have in him and his ability -- and as long as he's handling what he needs to do off the field, I have no doubt that he's going to be successful on the field,' Brady said
| Footballguys view: That's good for Brady to say, but it may not be how the franchise feels about the young receiver. Bills GM Brandon Beane and Bills owner Terry Pegula just last week threw Coleman under the bus for being a bad pick...or a pick that was forced by the previous coaching staff (Sean McDermott). There are videos of Beane going on and on about how he loved Coleman before the draft, but forget about the facts...things are all good now. At least that's what they want you to believe. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 29. The Seahawks only held a walkthrough Thursday, so this is an estimation.

Former New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is joining the Miami Dolphins coaching staff as the quarterbacks coach, according to sources.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion has been hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as their new offensive coordinator.
| Footballguys view: A former quarterback, Mannion now gets to work with Jalen Hurts. Expect more West Coast/Shanahan concepts from Mannion's offense. He's played for Sean McVay (a Mike Shanahan disciple), and worked with Kevin O'Connell (Vikings) and Matt LaFleur (Packers). With wide-zone running and play-action passing a hallmark of those systems, expect the Eagles to be more explosive on offense in 2026. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown and his reps are 'working hard' on an extension.
| Footballguys view: Browns 2025 season started slowly, but he exploded in the second half of the year and finished with his first 1,000-yard rushing season of his career. Add in his 69 catches and you can see how impactful Brown is on the Bengals' offense. With Joe Burrow back in action in 2026, Brown can continue to be the primary back on an explosive offense. |

Link to storyBuffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) underwent surgery on Monday, Jan. 26, and will make a full recovery.
| Footballguys view: This was an aggravation from an old injury that Allen sustained in Week 16 against the Browns. It's nothing that will keep Allen out of offseason activities. Expect Allen out there when OTAs kick off later this spring. |

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) played with a torn PCL during the 2025 season. He does not expect a procedure to be done after feeling better following the season.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid was limited in practice for much of the season. With no procedure done, Kincaid is likely to be ready when minicamp and OTAs kick off in the spring. |

Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. continued impressing at Senior Bowl practices Wednesday, Jan. 28. He had a few of those runs where he exhibited quick, downhill cuts that sprung long gains on outside runs. He also made explosive plays as a pass catcher in one-on-one drills.
| Footballguys view: Washington is a big back (228 pounds) and is a bell-cow back who can take on a large workload. In addition to size and contact balance, Washington can be relied on as a receiver out of the backfield. Early projections have Washington going off the board in the mid-rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. |
Baylor WR Josh Cameron has impressed at the Senior Bowl with his size and hands. He fought through cornerbacks looking to impede his route and overpowered them to the spot for the catch. He was able to outwork tight man coverage for 50/50 balls that typically turn into incompletions. Some draft experts are raising his grade based on his performance thus far.
| Footballguys view: Cameron is a possession receiver who is built like a running back. He's strong enough to pick up yards after contact, and Cameron does a good job in the open field. He should be a Day 3 pick, but this performance at the Senior Bowl might cause him to rise into late Day 2 in the 2026 NFL Draft. |
