Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank is expected to evaluate the performances of head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot after the season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. Fontenot signed a six-year contract in 2021 but only has one year remaining on his current deal, while Morris is under contract through the end of the 2028 season.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons have been spinning their wheels during Fontenot's tenure as general manager. If Atlanta does start over at head coach and general manager in the offseason, it's unclear what that would mean for the 2024 Fontenot first round pick Michael Penix Jr., who suffered a season-ending torn ACL earlier this season. |
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel appears likely to return to the organization for 2026, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. He had signed a contract extension in August 2024 which runs through the end of the 2028 season.
| Footballguys view: A few weeks ago it was reported that some believed McDaniel was saving his job with the recent winning streak, and it appears they were correct. There have also been reports that we should not expect Tua Tagovailoa to play for the Dolphins again, so this is setting up an interesting open-ended question of who the Dolphins quarterback will be next season. |
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell is expected to return for the 2026 season, despite the team's struggles this year, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. He had signed a multiyear contract extension in January 2025.
