49ers | San Francisco discusses DC opening with Robert Saleh Thu Jan 9, 03:42 PM
Former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh interviewed for the defensive coordinator vacancy with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Saleh came from the 49ers before he was head coach of the Jets. He's a great coach with a bright mind for defensive football. The 49ers need answers to multiple questions this offseason. Hiring Saleh could be the answer they need to solve their defensive woes. |

Packers | Jordan Love practices without limitations on Thursday Thu Jan 9, 02:54 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: This is what Packers fans needed to hear. Rumblings indicate Love is dealing with some sort of funny bone injury, but whatever you want to call it this injury does not seem serious enough to hold him out of the Wild Card Round. |

Jets | Ray Farmer discusses GM vacancy with NY Jets Thu Jan 9, 02:26 PM
Los Angeles Rams senior personnel executive Ray Farmer interviewed for the general manager vacancy of the New York Jets on Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Farmer was the general manager of the Browns for a couple of seasons, so he's got experience running a front office. He's been a big part of the draft success the Rams have had in recent years. |
Raiders | Tom Telesco done in Las Vegas Thu Jan 9, 01:59 PM
Las Vegas Raiders general manager Tom Telesco was fired on Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders have now moved on from HC Antonio Pierce and GM Tom Telesco in the last few days. They'll be in the market for both, and there are some interesting combinations they could be considering. Telesco has now been fired as the Chargers GM and the Raiders GM (after one season). |
Titans | Ian Cunningham of interest to Tennessee Thu Jan 9, 01:52 PM
Chicago Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham is of interest to the Tennessee Titans, who requested permission to interview him for their general manager vacancy on Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Cunningham is a fast riser in the scouting world. He's been on track to be a general manager for some time, and the Titans may be the first time he gets that shot. Reports indicate they do want someone with plenty of scouting experience, and Cunningham has spent over 10 years working his way up the ranks with teams like the Ravens and the Bears. |

NFL | Bill Belichick has no intention of returning to NFL Thu Jan 9, 01:41 PM
University of North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick is 'completely committed' to his new college coaching job and any reports of him considering a return to the NFL are a 'complete falsehood,' according to Tar Heels general manager Mike Lombardi on the Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Is he committed, or does no NFL team want him? He was close with the Falcons last year, but reports suggest Arthur Blank didn't want to hire all of Belichick's disciples with him. As wild as it may seem for some, Belichick's days as a pro coach may be done. |
Dolphins | Tyreek Hill's beef with Miami squashed? Thu Jan 9, 01:29 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is 'committed' to the Dolphins after an 'excellent meeting' with general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel, according to his agent on Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Hill was emotional after the Dolphins were bounced from playoff contention. He may have patched things up, but one thing is clear - Miami needs to start pushing further than they have before. |

Ravens | Zay Flowers will not play in Wild Card Round Thu Jan 9, 01:04 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for the Wild Card Round against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Flowers suffered the knee injury in Week 18, but he's not going to be ready to play against the Steelers. Without Flowers, the Ravens will turn to guys like Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, and Rashod Bateman more. |

Broncos | Major turnaround for Marvin Mims Thu Jan 9, 12:56 PM
Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims recorded 11 catches for 69 yards and no touchdowns over the first 10 games compared to 28 catches for 434 yards and six touchdowns over the final seven games.
| Footballguys view: Mims is the 'joker' for Sean Payton. That position is usually reserved for a running back or tight end, but Payton found a way to make it work with Mims. His speed is blinding, and the Broncos are finding ways to get him the ball in space. Mims will be a key for the Broncos as they are underdogs against the Bills in the Wild Card Round. |

Patriots | Drake Maye did damage with his legs Thu Jan 9, 12:37 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye's 408 rushing yards from Week 6 to Week 18 ranked fourth among quarterbacks.
| Footballguys view: Maye is a dual-threat quarterback. He's got a big arm and plays "YOLO" ball as a passer, but he can tuck it and run if need be. The future looks bright for the Patriots with Maye as their franchise quarterback. |

Bengals | Chase Brown was busy as a receiver Thu Jan 9, 12:18 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown's 44 targets from Week 9 to Week 18 ranked second among running backs.
| Footballguys view: The Bengals didn't make the postseason, but that was mainly due to a poor defense. Brown replaced Joe Mixon as the team's starter in 2024 and did a great job. Fantasy GMs in PPR formats will certainly take note of his receiving ability in drafts next year. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey joins rare group Thu Jan 9, 12:02 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey became one of seven rookie receivers since 2015 to finish with at least 80 receptions and 1,100 yards.
| Footballguys view: McConkey is a special player, and he's just getting started in the NFL. He can work hard to get open on underneath routes, and he's got glue for hands. |
Jaguars | Jacksonville seeks Steve Spagnuolo interview Thu Jan 9, 11:38 AM
Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo was requested to interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their head coach vacancy Thursday, Jan. 9.

Link to story Seahawks | Seahawks plan Thomas Brown interview Thu Jan 9, 11:04 AM
Former Chicago Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown is expected to interview with the Seattle Seahawks for their offensive coordinator vacancy, according to sources Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Thomas Brown was the Panthers OC in 2023 in addition to being the Bears OC in 2024 (before being asked to be the interim HC). In previous seasons, Brown had been getting buzz as a future head coach. We'll see if Seattle makes a move for him as Brown works his way up the coaching ranks. |

Colts | Indianapolis eyeing 2 defensive coordinators Thu Jan 9, 11:02 AM
Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks will interview with the Indianapolis Colts for their defensive coordinator vacancy, according to sources Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Wilks was out of pro football in 2024 after getting fired by the 49ers in 2023. He's got a great mind for defense and is deserving of another shot, perhaps even one day as a head coach again (former Panthers interim HC). |
Titans | Matt Berry sought for Titans interview Thu Jan 9, 10:29 AM
Seattle Seahawks senior director of player personnel Matt Berry has been requested for an interview for the Tennessee Titans general manager post.
| Footballguys view: The Titans want someone as general manager with extensive scouting experience. Berry is all that and then some as he's been with Seattle for 17 years, the last two seasons as senior director. They moved on from Ran Carthon after just two years. |
Saints | Kliff Kingsbury sought for Saints interview Thu Jan 9, 10:26 AM
Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has been requested for an interview for the New Orleans Saints head coaching vacancy.
| Footballguys view: The Saints have Derek Carr as their quarterback, so Kingsbury would be tasked with getting the most from him (and the team should be considering a rookie quarterback to develop as well). Kingsbury is doing great things with Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, and that's why he's drawing interest from several teams. |

Bears | Kliff Kingsbury requested for Bears interview Thu Jan 9, 10:25 AM
Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has been requested for an interview for the Chicago Bears head coaching vacancy.
| Footballguys view: Kingsbury coached Caleb Williams at USC, so this connection is one that makes a lot of sense. The Commanders have turned around their offense this year, and Kingsbury is doing a great job getting the best from rookie QB Jayden Daniels. The Bears are considering about a dozen candidates, but Kingsbury might be the favorite. |
