Texans | Houston talks HC vacancy with Josh McCown Fri Jan 21, 01:54 PM
Former NFL quarterback Josh McCown interviewed for the Houston Texans' head coaching vacancy Thursday, Jan. 20.
| Footballguys view: McCown has drawn interest from the Texans before. Last year, McCown was of interest to the Texans and here we go again. He's a journeyman quarterback who has zero pro or college coaching experience. McCown is also getting little to no interest from other teams. |

Panthers | Carolina set to hand offensive reins to Ben McAdoo Fri Jan 21, 01:49 PM
Former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo is expected to be named as the new offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers once contract details get worked out, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Earlier reports indicated that head coach Matt Rhule had to "crush it" when picking a new offensive coordinator. McAdoo is a total opposite of "crushing it" when it comes to an OC. The Jaguars QB coach in 2020, McAdoo worked as a consultant with the Cowboys for the 2021 season. The Panthers will need to hit it out of the park with the expected QB upgrade they get this offseason for this move to not look like a complete flop. |

Los Angeles Rams RB Darrell Henderson (knee), DL Sebastian Joseph-Day (pectoral) and CB Robert Rochell (chest) were designated for return from the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: The Rams are getting healthier as the postseason goes, and if they advance to the conference championship game they could get Henderson back on the field. If they do make it past the Buccaneers this week, Henderson could work as the no.3 back in a rotation with Sony Michel and Cam Akers. |

Giants | Brian Flores on NYG radar Fri Jan 21, 12:27 PM
Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has been requested for an interview by the New York Giants for their head coaching vacancy.
| Footballguys view: Flores is arguably the best head coaching candidate out there based on what he did with the Dolphins. Yes, he's a bit spirited in his approach - and that may rub some the wrong way - but the Giants could use a bit of that fire and energy on the field. With Joe Schoen, former Bills assistant GM, hired as GM we'll have to see if he wants Flores to be the guy. |
Giants | Joe Schoen NYG's guy Fri Jan 21, 11:55 AM
Buffalo Bills assistant general manager Joe Schoen has been identified as the New York Giants' target for general manager, and the two sides have begun working on a deal.
| Footballguys view: Schoen has done a great job helping to build a Super Bowl contender with the Bills. Now, he will see what he can do with the bits of talent that remain with the Giants roster. In the near future, the Giants will be adding a head coach and former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores may be in consideration. |

Bears | Dennis Allen to meet with Chicago Fri Jan 21, 09:54 AM
New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen will interview for the Chicago Bears' head coaching position via Zoom Tuesday, Jan.25.
| Footballguys view: Allen, a former head coach himself, has gotten some interest before as he interviewed with the Eagles last year. He was the Raiders head coach from 2012-2014 and has been running a strong Saints defense since 2015. Allen will likely get another shot some day to be a head coach again. |
Titans | Derrick Henry coming off IR Fri Jan 21, 09:52 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Derrick Henry (foot) is expected to come off Injured Reserve Friday, Jan. 21.

Bears | Chicago meets with Reggie McKenzie Fri Jan 21, 01:37 AM
The Chicago Bears interviewed Miami Dolphins senior personnel director Reggie McKenzie for their vacant General Manager position on Thursday, Jan. 20.

Now, an executive with the Dolphins, McKenzie would be a strong candidate for the Bears given his experience and natural eye for talent. |

Lions | D'Andre Swift flashed versatility Thu Jan 20, 10:19 PM
Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift ranked fourth among running backs in both receptions and receiving yards in 2021, and he was on pace for 1,398 total yards and 81 catches before missing four game with injuries.
| Footballguys view: Swift needs better talent around him and he needs to stay healthy to play up to his potential. He's a good all-around back, but the Lions don't have an exciting offense. With an upgrade at quarterback, it should make Swift even more effective when running and catching the ball. |
