'You've got to be ready to play in the games as much as possible,' McCaffrey said. 'I'll do whatever it takes for this team.'

Dolphins | De'Von Achane more productive at home Thu Feb 5, 07:23 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane rushed for 916 yards and seven touchdowns at home during the 2025 regular season. He rushed for 434 yards and one touchdown during road games.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins were a much better team at home, which backs up the idea that Mike McDaniel built a "warm weather" team. There's no colder place to play in the NFL than Green Bay, which is where new head coach Jeff Hafley is coming from. New Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik was on last year's staff and has spent many years on the same staff as McDaniel in San Francisco, so there should be continuity, but it can't be an upgrade. Hopefully Hafley's cold weather background can help balance out these splits in 2026. |
49ers | Mac Jones believes he can be a starter Thu Feb 5, 06:23 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones said he believes he has shown that he can be a starter in the NFL but is fine with remaining with the 49ers next season.
| Footballguys view: Jones was definitely one of the 32 best quarterbacks in the league this season, and he was also a relevant quarterback in fantasy leagues. Minnesota is a logical landing spot for him, but it's unclear what the asking price will be for Jones in a trade, and if he would want a new contract upon getting dealt. One way or the other, he will start again in the NFL, which should be factored into his dynasty value, especially in superflex leagues. |

Cardinals | Matt Merritt joining Arizona's staff Thu Feb 5, 05:19 PM
Miami (Fla.) running backs coach Matt Merritt is being hired by the Arizona Cardinals as their new running backs coach, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Merritt has coached for eight different college programs, including Ohio State and Tennessee. The Cardinals have James Conner heading to free agency and Trey Benson hasn't proven much in his first two seasons, so they could make a splash to add to Merritt's position group. |
Packers | Green Bay hiring Noah Pauley Thu Feb 5, 05:03 PM
Penn State wide receivers coach Noah Pauley is being hired by the Green Bay Packers as their new wide receivers coach, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Pauley was Christian Watson's position coach at North Dakota State in 2022, and he coached Houston Texans wideouts Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins at Iowa State in 2023 and 2024 while also serving as pass game coordinator in 2024 and 2025. Kyle Shanahan thought enough of Pauley to interview him for the open offensive coordinator position last year. The Packers lost their wide receiver coach Ryan Mahaffey to the Eagles (where he will coach tight ends and coordinate the run game), and quickly replaced him with a highly regarded rising star from the college ranks. |
Rams | Jordan Waters signs future contract Thu Feb 5, 04:25 PM
Free-agent RB Jordan Waters (Rams) signed a Reserve/Future contract with the Los Angeles Rams Thursday, Feb. 5, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to story Seahawks | Nick Emmanwori expected to play Thu Feb 5, 02:24 PM
Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) is expected to play in Super Bowl LX, according to head coach Mike MacDonald.
| Footballguys view: Emmanwori did not practice on Thursday, but we believe that he'll play because of the size of the stage. That doesn't mean he'll be as effective as he usually is. The Seahawks have been a good run defense despite often playing with light boxes because of Emmanwori's prowess as a run defender. The Patriots will surely test him early and often on Sunday. |
Vikings | Matt Thomas hired by Vikings Thu Feb 5, 12:49 PM
Former Seattle Seahawks vice president of football operations Matt Thomas was hired by the Minnesota Vikings as a football administration consultant. He'll assist the team through the 2026 NFL Draft.

Eagles | Ryan Mahaffey hired by Eagles Thu Feb 5, 10:26 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receivers coach Ryan Mahaffey was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles Thursday, Feb. 5, as run game coordinator and tight ends coach.
| Footballguys view: The Packers coaching staff has been raided by Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and Dolphins Jeff Hafley since they got promotions on new teams. Mahaffey has experience coaching multiple position groups and is considered to be on the rise in the profession. The Eagles already lost long time offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, and now they will lose tight end coach Jason Michael, which could be a signal that they won't bring back Dallas Goedert in free agency, as the two were considered to be close. |
Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson joins rare group Thu Feb 5, 10:26 AM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson became the second player in NFL history to have two games with multiple 50-yard rushing touchdowns in his career, joining retired RB Chris Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Unfortunately, that's about where the highlight reel ends for Henderson's rookie season - at least as of right now. He barely saw the field in the AFC title game and the Patriots probably won't play him much in the Super Bowl to avoid exposing his subpar pass blocking to the Seahawks pass rush. Henderson's debut season was more flash than substance. |
Titans | Cam Ward made strides as rookie Thu Feb 5, 10:26 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward threw 10 of his 15 touchdown passes during the final eight games, and he only had one of his seven interceptions during that span.
| Footballguys view: Ward did this with a midseason head coach change and arguably the weakest supporting cast in the league. Brian Daboll should improve the scheme and playcalling, and the Titans will bring in more help for Ward this offseason. He's a buy in superflex dynasty leagues. |
NFL | Scouts lukewarm on Ty Simpson Thu Feb 5, 10:26 AM
Alabama QB Ty Simpson wasn't given a Round 1 grade by any of the teams that ESPN's Matt Miller spoke with at the 2026 Senior Bowl.
| Footballguys view: Simpson's family says basically the opposite, which should set up a great storyline for the first night of the draft. Mississippi QB Trinidad Chambliss had his waiver request for an additional year of eligibility denied, so if his January 12 court hearing doesn't change his fate, he could push Simpson for QB2 on some team's boards. The Jets and Steelers are two teams that have already been mentioned as possible landing spots for Simpson. |
Seahawks | Sam Darnold's oblique feels good Thu Feb 5, 09:51 AM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) said his oblique feels really good heading into the Super Bowl. 'It feels really good,' Darnold said Wednesday morning. 'Definitely the time off has helped a little bit. I'm always just going to take it one step at a time, do my rehab and do everything I need to do to make sure it feels great going into practice and going into the game... on Sunday.'
| Footballguys view: Neither Super Bowl quarterback is 100%, but Darnold played more than well enough against Rams to assuage any worries about his condition. We should project him the way we normally would after he got in a full practice on Thursday. |

Seahawks | Wednesday practice report for Seattle Wed Feb 4, 08:09 PM

WR Jake Bobo (hand), LB Ernest Jones (chest), S Julian Love (shoulder), FB Brady Russell (hand), LB Drake Thomas (shoulder) and TE Eric Saubert (hamstring) were full participants.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba is just getting some rest on a Wednesday before the big game. Darnold's oblique injury won't cause him to miss the game, but we'd like to see him fully practicing before the end of the week. |

Eagles | Jalen Hurts terrific at home in 2025 Wed Feb 4, 07:30 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw 14 touchdowns and only one interception at home during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Hurts is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he's great at home. With three years left on his deal, the Eagles will push for another Super Bowl run in 2026. Hurts should continue being a dominant passer at home. |
