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. |

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo should play despite injuries Wed Jan 19, 08:02 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb, shoulder) is expected to play in the Divisional Round playoff game but will not be 100 percent healthy, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He is dealing with thumb and shoulder injuries.
| Footballguys view: It's the playoffs, so few players are at 100 percent. It's also Garoppolo, and he's one of the most oft-injured players in the NFL. The 49ers are playing with house money after beating the Cowboys in the Wild Card round. Going up against the Packers is tough, especially at Lambeau Field. |

Steelers | Dwayne Haskins has a shot Wed Jan 19, 12:34 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins said he'll have a chance to compete for the starting quarterback position next year.
| Footballguys view: The post-Roethlisberger era with the Steelers will have some struggles - especially since reports and buzz around the team indicate they will not make a play for a top-tier quarterback via trade this offseason. That means Haskins and Mason Rudolph could be their options in 2022...with maybe a rookie thrown into the mix as well. |

The Dolphins are looking for the right head coach to mesh with QB Tua Tagovailoa. That could be someone like Moore, who has been seen as an up-and-coming bright mind in coaching circles. |

Broncos | Kevin O'Connell to meet with Broncos Wed Jan 19, 10:57 AM
Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell will interview for the Denver Broncos' head coaching position Friday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: O'Connell is a former quarterback who could get the Broncos offense right. For years, since the retirement of Peyton Manning, the Broncos have not been able to find quality quarterback play. If they get that right, and get an offensive minded coach like O'Connell, then the offensive weapons they have - and they have quite a few (Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, Noah Fant) could start playing up to their potential. |

Texans | Nick Caserio talks Deshaun Watson Tue Jan 18, 07:53 PM
Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio was asked during a Tuesday, Jan. 18, interview with Sports Radio 610 if QB Deshaun Watson could play for the franchise again. 'That more than likely would not be the case,' Caserio said. 'I think we have to be open-minded and just take the information and process it and ultimately make the decision that we feel makes the most sense for everybody involved, whatever that looks like.'
| Footballguys view: Who knows what the future holds for Watson. He still has to clear up his legal issues which include 20-plus lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. If that happens, expect more than a few teams to express interest in the superstar quarterback. However, don't expect him to play for the Texans again as they seem ready to move forward - likely with Davis Mills as their starter. |

Broncos | Denver ramping up coaching search Tue Jan 18, 02:26 PM
Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is reportedly interviewing with the Denver Broncos in the Dallas area on Tuesday, Jan. 18. Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is scheduled to do the same later in the evening.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos are looking at both coordinators from the Cowboys. Since moving on from Vic Fangio, the team should focus on improving their offense and finding a head coach who can fit with whatever quarterback they bring in this offseason. Rumblings have been their top target is trading for QB Aaron Rodgers. It seems like a pipe dream, but they should be aggressive in their pursuit of upgrading the quarterback position. |

Steelers | PIT moving on from Ben Roethlisberger Tue Jan 18, 12:56 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is expected to move on from the Steelers as head coach Mike Tomlin said they're proceeding with the assumption he's done in Pittsburgh.
| Footballguys view: Roethlisberger hasn't made it official, but everyone is pretty sure he's done playing football. The Steelers reportedly are not going to make an aggressive move for someone like Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. Instead, they might see what Dwayne Haskins or Mason Rudolph can do as the starter in 2022. |

Broncos | Kellen Moore meeting with DEN Tue Jan 18, 08:17 AM

| Footballguys view: Moore has a bright offensive mind, but he's coming off a playoff loss to the 49ers and that may have cooled his stock in the eyes of Broncos fans. The Broncos have talent on offense, outside of having a good quarterback. Perhaps Moore, and the right QB, will help jump start this talented but under performing unit. |

Eagles | Jalen Hurts played through injury Mon Jan 17, 11:25 AM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) left the stadium in a walking boot Sunday, Jan. 16, after playing through damaged ligaments in his ankle.
| Footballguys view: Hurts gave a valiant effort but came up way short in the Wild Card Round. We'll see if this ankle injury will require surgery and/or rest to heal properly. Hurts is a valuable fantasy asset but he's pretty mediocre (at best) as a passer. Armed with three first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft, the Eagles are in position to move up for a top quarterback (in a mediocre class) or trade a bevy of picks for a veteran passer. We'll see what they do this offseason, so stay tuned. |

Steelers | Kenny Pickett could be target Sun Jan 16, 02:10 PM
Pittsburgh QB Kenny Pickett is expected to receive interest from the Pittsburgh Steelers leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: If the Steelers want to get Pickett, they'd likely have to move into the top-10 to get him. Right now, with their Wild Card playoff appearance, the Steelers are picking in the 20s. Pickett could be the no.1 quarterback off the board in the 2022 NFL draft. |
Steelers | Pittsburgh could have QB competition in 2022 Sun Jan 16, 01:46 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QBs Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins may compete with a draft pick for the starting quarterback job next season since the team does not usually trade their first-round draft choices for a player like Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers or Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, according a source.
| Footballguys view: This was the buzz around the Steelers about a month ago. They will see Ben Roethlisberger likely retire after this season, and then they'll see if Rudolph or Haskins has what it takes to start. We're sorry Steelers fans, but that's not a recipe for success. The buzz has been they'll roll with what they have and not trade for a big-name quarterback like Rodgers or Wilson. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson has not demanded to be traded and it remains uncertain if he will make that request. However, he does appear interested in exploring his options this offseason, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: Will he or won't he? Wilson might be ready to move on, even though publicly he's saying he never wants to leave Seattle. The Seahawks are keeping head coach Pete Carroll, and keeping Wilson - even though you could get a haul of first-round picks for him - makes sense. The "Wilson might explore his options" is likely agent-fed information, and Seattle beat reporters deny that he's going anywhere this offseason. Stay tuned. |
