Seahawks | Wednesday practice report for Seattle Wed Feb 4, 08:09 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique), WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (non-injury), DL DeMarcus Lawrence (non-injury), DL Leonard Williams (non-injury), S Nick Emmanwori (ankle), FB Robbie Ouzts (neck), OT Charles Cross (foot) and OT Joshua Jones (ankle, knee) were limited during practice Wednesday, Feb. 4. WR Jake Bobo (hand), LB Ernest Jones (chest), S Julian Love (shoulder), FB Brady Russell (hand), LB Drake Thomas (shoulder) and TE Eric Saubert (hamstring) were full participants.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba is just getting some rest on a Wednesday before the big game. Darnold's oblique injury won't cause him to miss the game, but we'd like to see him fully practicing before the end of the week. |

Eagles | Jalen Hurts terrific at home in 2025 Wed Feb 4, 07:30 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw 14 touchdowns and only one interception at home during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Hurts is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he's great at home. With three years left on his deal, the Eagles will push for another Super Bowl run in 2026. Hurts should continue being a dominant passer at home. |

Packers | Green Bay expects to lose Malik Willis to free agency Wed Feb 4, 02:02 PM
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst acknowledges that the team is likely to lose QB Malik Willis in free agency. He cites that he will likely look for a team where he will be able to compete for a starting job.
| Footballguys view: Everyone under the sun expects Willis to get a starting opportunity in 2026. Where that is nobody knows, but a team like the Steelers could show interest. Willis has a big arm, and his athleticism makes him a threat to run on any play. With his skill set, Willis could easily be a top-10 fantasy quarterback in the right system. |
Jets | Jacoby Brissett a Jets target Wed Feb 4, 12:52 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett could be a potential trade target for the New York Jets. Brissett played for offensive coordinator Frank Reich when he was the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have Justin Fields as their top quarterback entering the 2026 season, and that's not good enough. Brissett could steady the ship for the Jets offense and at least give them a fighting chance. |

Colts | Confident Daniel Jones will be retained Wed Feb 4, 09:57 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) might be ready for the season, and the team is confident it will be able to retain him for 2026.
| Footballguys view: Jones suffered a torn Achilles in Week 14's loss to the Jaguars, so his availability for Week 1 is in question. Signing an effective veteran quarterback coming off this major injury is something the Colts should do. Jones had the Colts looking like one of the best teams in the league early in the 2025 season. |

Browns | Todd Monken doesn't commit to Shedeur Sanders Tue Feb 3, 01:56 PM
Cleveland Browns head coach was asked if QB Shedeur Sanders would be QB1 for the team in 2026, and he said that it is to be determined. He added he 'absolutely' can earn the job, though.
| Footballguys view: "I think like any position on the team, that's still to be determined," Monken said of Cleveland's QB situation. "Am I excited about Shedeur? Am I excited about all the quarterbacks in the room? Am I excited to coach this football team? Absolutely." Monken talked about what he likes in a quarterback, focusing heavily on intangibles and personality. Meanwhile, the Browns have been in search of consistent, steady, productive quarterback play effectively since the team re-entered the league in 1999. It remains to be seen if Monken can develop Sanders or any other quarterback into that kind of player. |
Saints | Scott Tolzien staying put Tue Feb 3, 11:21 AM
New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien will remain with the team after interviewing for offensive coordinator positions.
| Footballguys view: The 38-year-old Tolzien interviewed with Pittsburgh on Monday. In 2025, Tolzien worked with rookie Tyler Shough, helping him finish the season having completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,384 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions in 11 games with nine starts. Now Tolzien will continue to work with Shough to further his development. |

Lions | Jared Goff excited about new OC Tue Feb 3, 12:23 AM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff said he is excited to work with offensive coordinator Drew Petzing and that other quarterbacks that have worked with Petzing have given him great reviews.
| Footballguys view: Petzing will be Detroit's third offensive coordinator in the last three years. John Morton replaced Ben Johnson after Johnson became the head coach of the Bears in January 2025, but Morton's run calling plays ended when head coach Dan Campbell took over those responsibilities during the season. The Lions still finished fourth in the league in points scored, but it wasn't enough for the Lions to return to the postseason. Goff said he hopes the change leads to a return to the consistency of previous seasons. "I think he was a home run hire," Goff said. |

Broncos | Denver officially names Davis Webb as OC Mon Feb 2, 04:19 PM
Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb was officially named the team's new offensive coordinator Monday, Feb. 2.
| Footballguys view: Still only 31 years old, Webb had multiple head coaching interviews in recent weeks. The former NFL QB will stay in Denver for another season, and figures to be a hot head coaching candidate again next year. Until then, having his former position coach move up the ladder while remaining in Denver is good news for Bo Nix and his fantasy investors. For what it's worth, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Broncos are promoting Logan Kilgore to QB coach. |

Chiefs | Jake Haener joining Chiefs Mon Feb 2, 02:19 PM
Free-agent QB Jake Haener (Saints) agreed to terms on a Reserve/Future contract with the Kansas City Chiefs Monday, Feb. 2, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Haener was involved in a competition for the starting job in New Orleans with Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough last season, but wound up in third position. The 2023 fourth-round pick spent most of the season on the practice squad and did not appear in any games. The Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes coming off a torn ACL, so their other quarterbacks should get plenty of work in the offseason. Gardner Minshew and Chris Oladokun filled in after Mahomes' injury, but Minshew is not under contract for 2026. |

Rams | No surgery for Matthew Stafford Mon Feb 2, 01:10 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) will not need to undergo surgery this offseason to repair a herniated disc in his back, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Stafford entered the 2025 season with the back injury but started in all 20 games. He was also very productive. He led the NFL with 46 touchdown passes and 4,707 passing yards this year, at one point throwing a record 28 touchdown passes between interceptions. McVay told reporters during his end-of-season press conference Monday that while he hopes Stafford will return, he doesn't have an answer yet. Stafford has a $40 million salary that becomes guaranteed on the fifth day of the new league year, which puts a soft deadline around the middle of March. We'll be watching for more. |

Steelers | Scott Tolzien to interview with PIT Mon Feb 2, 10:46 AM
New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien will interview for the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator vacancy Monday, Feb. 2.
| Footballguys view: Tolzien was the quarterbacks coach for the final two seasons as McCarthy's run as the Cowboys' head coach. McCarthy also coached Tolzien when he was a quarterback for the Packers from 2013-2015, so landing the Steelers job would continue a long-running relationship between the two men. |

Broncos | Davis Webb leading candidate for OC job Sun Feb 1, 04:48 PM
Denver Broncos passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Davis Webb has officially interviewed for the offensive coordinator position for the team, and he is considered the leading candidate in Denver.
| Footballguys view: Davis, Denver's offensive pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach, becomes the third known candidate to have interviewed for the job since head coach Sean Payton fired Joe Lombardi last Tuesday. Buffalo quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry interviewed on Thursday, and Washington assistant head coach and offensive pass game coordinator Brian Johnson interviewed on Friday. We'll watch for more, but a promotion for Webb makes sense. |

NFL | Cole Payton raises stock at Senior Bowl Sun Feb 1, 02:06 PM
North Dakota State QB Cole Payton was named player of the game for the National Team for his play at the 2026 Senior Bowl. The highlight of the day was a 19-yard run, while turning in completions of 24, 22 and 14 yards. However, he did have a few errant passes, too, and he was stuffed on a two-point conversion rushing attempt.

Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson had a dismal Senior Bowl showing, completing just one of his five passing attempts with an interception for the National Team.

Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia completed 10-of-13 passes for 78 yards at the 2026 Senior Bowl in the cold and wind in Mobile, Alabama. His passes were mostly on short routes, but one of the highlights was a nice escape from pressure, completing an 18-yard pass on a rollout.

Link to story Broncos | Bo Nix was able to lead team to wins Sun Feb 1, 11:58 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix recorded a league-leading seven game-winning drives during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Nix's 24 regular-season wins are tied for the most in NFL history in a player's first two seasons, and he posted more wins in 2025 than any quarterback has in a single season in franchise history. In 2025, the Broncos tied a franchise record for regular-season wins, earned their first division title in a decade and captured the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The late-game comebacks added to that. Nix, who finished 2025 as QB9 in fantasy points, is recovering from ankle surgery on his ankle. He expects to recover in four to six weeks. |
Bears | Caleb Williams productive in final quarter Sun Feb 1, 11:47 AM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams produced a league-leading six fourth-quarter comebacks during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Williams flourished in his first year working with coach Ben Johnson, setting a Bears single-season passing record with 3,942 yards and ranking fifth in the NFL with a 27-to-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The late-game heroics added to that. The former USC standout was at his best in crunch time, regularly displaying his clutch gene with remarkable highlight throws that had to be seen to be believed. Fantasy investors can expect to pay a premium for Williams, who finished as QB5, in 2025. |
Raiders | Geno Smith struggles with sacks Sun Feb 1, 11:37 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith was sacked 55 times during the 2025 regular season, which was tied for the most in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: As SBNation pointed out, Smith led the league in another aspect: He was among the NFL leaders in passing yards during garbage time. Smith threw for 736 passing yards when the game was out of reach in 2025. It was the third most in the league last season. That means Smith accounted for nearly a quarter of his total season passing yards during garbage time. Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza will likely be drafted by the 3-14 Raiders with the first pick overall in April's draft, and it remains to be seen where Smith will be. |
Geno Smith player page
Titans | Cam Ward a league leader in sacks Sun Feb 1, 11:29 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward was sacked 55 times during the 2025 regular season, which was tied for the most in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: It seems safe to assume that addressing the offensive line will be a priority under new coach Robert Saleh and OC Brian Daboll. We'll remind you that Ward improved noticeably late last season. The rookie threw only six touchdown passes through the first 12 games, but threw two scoring strikes per game over his final four outings (he was hurt early in Week 18). He was intercepted just once over that span after getting picked off six times in the first 12 games. That late-season improvement is reason for optimism. Better protection would add to that. |
Cowboys | Dak Prescott faced blitz often in 2025 Sun Feb 1, 11:11 AM
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was blitzed 163 times during the 2025 regular season, which ranked second in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: Nonetheless, Prescott delivered one of the best seasons of his career. As ESPN.com noted, for the fourth time, he threw for more than 4,000 yards and had at least 30 touchdown passes. He completed at least 60% of his passes in each of the first 15 games. He became the franchise's all-time leader in passing yards (35,989), passing Tony Romo. He is tied for the NFL lead with six 300-yard passing games. He is tied for third in multi-touchdown passing games (10). He also finished the season as QB6 in fantasy points. |

Lions | Jared Goff helped with YAC Sun Feb 1, 11:07 AM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff had 2,424 of his 4,564 passing yards this season come after the catch, which led the league in that category.
| Footballguys view: Despite a coordinator change, Goff continued his run of highly efficient seasons, posting the second-best passer rating of his 10-year career. But he remained heavily reliant on short throws and yards after the catch, maximizing the roster's speed-and-space arsenal. His average pass traveled just 6.43 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. It's a reminder for fantasy investors that supporting casts matter. Goff, who was drafted as QB12 in 2025, finished the year as QB8. |

NFL | Diego Pavia fails to impress Sat Jan 31, 09:25 PM

Link to story NFL | Sawyer Robertson struggles with accuracy Sat Jan 31, 11:37 AM
Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson 'stood out for his inconsistency' during Senior Bowl practices, according to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now, and Saunders estimates that 20% of Robertson's attempts resulted in 'uncatchable passes.'
Link to story NFL | Garrett Nussmeier puts together solid week Sat Jan 31, 11:37 AM
LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier's consistency stood out during Senior Bowl practices, according to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now.
| Footballguys view: It's a great week of work at the Senior Bowl for a quarterback who was once thought of as a first-round lock. Now, after an injury-plagued and inconsistent 2025 season we should see Nussmeier as a mid-round pick. Nussmeier is known as a smart quarterback who tends to go a bit too much into 'gunslinger' mode when under duress. With his performance at the Senior Bowl, Nussmeier might move into the late second or early third round. |

Eagles | Philly hires Sean Mannion as OC Thu Jan 29, 05:41 PM
Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion has been hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as their new offensive coordinator.
| Footballguys view: A former quarterback, Mannion now gets to work with Jalen Hurts. Expect more West Coast/Shanahan concepts from Mannion's offense. He's played for Sean McVay (a Mike Shanahan disciple), and worked with Kevin O'Connell (Vikings) and Matt LaFleur (Packers). With wide-zone running and play-action passing a hallmark of those systems, expect the Eagles to be more explosive on offense in 2026. |
