  Giants | Dennard Wilson being hired as DC    Sun Jan 25, 04:28 PM

Former Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson is being hired by the New York Giants as their new defensive coordinator.

Footballguys view: Wilson was the defensive backs coach under John Harbaugh in 2023 before being hired by the Titans. He was actually the Giants top target for the defensive coordinator position in 2024 after Wink Martindale retired, but he chose the Titans instead. The Titans defense was outstanding in Wilson's first year, ranking second in total yardage and fourth in passing yardage.

  Jaguars | Brian Picucci joining coaching staff    Sun Jan 25, 03:57 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive line coach Brian Picucci is joining the Jacksonville Jaguars as their run game coordinator, according to a source.

Footballguys view: The Jaguars running game underachieved this season even though Travis Etienne was a big fantasy success, so the hope is that Picucci can improve it. Picucci decided for a reunion with Coen (who also had Picucci on his staff at Kentucky) over staying on in Tampa under new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson.

  Dolphins | Tyke Tolbert added to coaching staff    Sun Jan 25, 02:43 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert has been hired by the Miami Dolphins as their new wide receiver coach, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Tolbert will join Bobby Slowik's staff and bring decades of experience serving under the 38-year-old offensive coordinator. Tolbert has a ring from his time with the Denver Broncos when he was on Gary Kubiak's staff. Slowik is a disciple of Kyle Shanahan, and Kubiak a disciple of Kyle's father Mike, so there should be a bridge between the two coaches.

  Bills | Tre'Davious White fined    Sun Jan 25, 11:39 AM

Buffalo Bills CB Tre'Davious White was fined $14,222 by the National Football League for his outburst at an official who had flagged him for pass interference during overtime of the AFC Divisional Round game against the Denver Broncos. He was charged with unsportsmanlike conduct for removing his helmet to yell at the official and was penalized on the play, which moved the football half the distance to the goal and made it easier for the Broncos to kick a game-winning field goal.

He is not supposed to put any weight on the ankle for at least four weeks. It is believed that Nix will have largely recovered in time to participate in the Broncos' offseason program.

Footballguys view: Ian Rapoport of NFL.com also reported that there was limited ligament damage and no joint surface damage. That was revealed during the surgery, so the Broncos got good news about their starting quarterback and his ability to get work in during the offseason.

  Dolphins | Bobby Slowik hired as Miami's OC    Sat Jan 24, 04:12 PM

  Patriots | Mack Hollins activated from IR    Sat Jan 24, 04:04 PM

New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday, Jan. 24, ahead of the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos.

Footballguys view: Hollins was one of the Patriots' top receivers during the regular season. He was third on the team in receptions (46), adding two receiving touchdowns. Hollins' blocking ability has also been key to the Patriots' success on offense this season. As the Boston Globe noted, with his 6-4 frame, Hollins has allowed the Patriots to play with advantageous personnel packages on run downs. While the Patriots haven't necessarily needed Hollins so far in the playoffs, his return is certainly welcomed news, as Drake Maye hasn't been as prolific throwing the ball this postseason.
