Packers | Malik Willis expected to backup Jordan Love Tue Jan 6, 02:25 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder, hamstring) is expected to be healthy enough to backup Jordan Love, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Willis dealt with a right shoulder injury in the final weeks of the season and was inactive for their Week 18 loss to the Vikings. He offers considerable upside if something happens to Love. Remember, Willis will be a free agent after the season, and he likely showed enough working in relief of Love this season to draw heavy interest on the open market. |
Falcons | Kirk Cousins restructures Tue Jan 6, 12:10 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins agreed to a contract revision Tuesday, Jan. 6, on the final two years of his contract. As part of the restructure, there is now a guarantee in the amount of $67.9 million for the 2027 season that vests March 13. The restructure also included reducing his 2026 base salary from a non-guaranteed $35 million to just $2.1 million, a difference of $32.9 million. That amount equals the increase in his 2027 compensation that this amended deal includes, just split differently.
| Footballguys view: While Cousins and the Falcons -- who are searching for a new general manager and head coach -- could agree to another amended deal to keep him with Atlanta, one logical possibility posited by salary cap experts is the team moving on from Cousins before March 13 via a post-June 1 release. He appeared in 10 games this season, starting the final seven. Cousins, who threw 10 touchdown passes and five interceptions in seven starts, said after the Week 18 win over the Saints that he would like to keep playing and kept the door open to return to Atlanta. |

Commanders | Kliff Kingsbury exits Washington Tue Jan 6, 10:48 AM
Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury mutually parted ways with the team Tuesday, Jan. 6.
| Footballguys view: Kingsbury met with head coach Dan Quinn on Tuesday to discuss the future of the offense, and after their conversation, they mutually agreed to part ways. The move isn't a total surprise. As the Commanders spiraled in 2025, it became a real possibility that they could move on without him. According to The Athletic, a difference in philosophy between Kingsbury and general manager Adam Peters in the development of quarterback Jayden Daniels, who missed 10 games this season because of injuries, was an issue. Whatever the case, Washington will have a new playcaller for Daniels to adjust to this offseason. |

Panthers | David Moore activated Tue Jan 6, 09:19 AM
Carolina Panthers WR David Moore (elbow) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Jan. 6. WR Hunter Renfrow was waived.
| Footballguys view: Moore's 21-day window to practice was ending Tuesday, so he had to be activated today, or he'd have remained on IR. He's been out since an elbow injury in Week 4, but he's been a valuable late-season and postseason contributor for head coach Dave Canales on three teams now. |

Cardinals | Kyler Murray done in Arizona? Tue Jan 6, 01:35 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is not expected to return to the Cardinals next season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, who said that he believes the team is 'planning to move on' from Murray, regardless of who is hired as the next head coach.
| Footballguys view: This comes a day after GM Monti Ossenfort told reporters that Murray remains under contract and said that all options are on the table for what the team will do at the position in the future. But Schefter's belief adds to an already large body of speculation suggesting that Murray has played his last snap in Arizona. There are a lot of moving pieces here. Moving on from Murray would require the Cardinals to have a fallback plan that works for whoever the next coach will be. While there's contractual urgency to get this done, it's unlikely to be immediate. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf reinstated Tue Jan 6, 01:08 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf was removed from the Reserve/Suspended by Commissioner list on Monday, Jan. 5. Metcalf served a two-game suspension for an altercation with a fan.
| Footballguys view: Acquired in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks last March, Metcalf had a solid debut season with Pittsburgh, catching 59 passes for 850 yards and recording seven total touchdowns in 15 games. Luckily, the Steelers were able to pull off a Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens, earning a spot in the playoffs and opening the door for Metcalf's return next Monday, as the Texans travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. |

Colts | Coach hopes Daniel Jones returns Tue Jan 6, 01:00 AM
Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones is a player head coach Shane Steichen hopes returns to the team next season, and Steichen said he believes Jones wants to re-sign with the team.
| Footballguys view: The obvious potential complication here is the torn Achilles' Jones sustained on Dec. 7, which ended his season. But Jones on Monday -- less than a month out from the injury and ensuing surgery -- expressed optimism in his recovery timeline. Jones finished his season having completed 68 percent of his passes for 3,101 yards with 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions as Jones and Steichen forged the sort of quarterback-playcaller mind-meld that teams across the NFL constantly seek but don't always find. We'll be watching this situation closely in coming weeks. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders' role uncertain Tue Jan 6, 12:53 AM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders made solid improvements this season but is still a work in progress, according to general manager Andrew Berry. Berry said he is not sure if the starting quarterback for next season is currently on the roster.
| Footballguys view: Sanders completed 56.6 percent of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his eight appearances with seven starts. He put together his first fourth-quarter comeback and game-winning drive with Sunday's 20-18 victory over the Bengals. With a new coach coming, it remains to be seen how Sanders will be viewed as he competes with Dillon Gabriel, Deshaun Watson, and any newcomer who's brought into the mix. |
Browns | Deshaun Watson expected to be on roster Tue Jan 6, 12:52 AM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson is expected to be on the 2026 roster at this point, but general manager Andrew Berry said the team will not need to make a final decision for a while.
| Footballguys view: If Watson winds up being a part of the team in 2026, it will be interesting to see how Cleveland's new coach handles a potential competition between Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and any other quarterback the club acquires over the course of the offseason. |

Bengals | Joe Flacco not thinking retirement Tue Jan 6, 12:47 AM
Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB Joe Flacco said he is not considering retirement and hopes to play again next season.
| Footballguys view: James Rapien of BengalsTalk.com reports that Flacco is open to returning to the Bengals, as long as the circumstances are right. He might want a chance to compete for a starting job with a team like the Dolphins, Cardinals, or Jets. Flacco went 1-5 for the Bengals, but he had 1,664 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. The Bengals being able to bring him back on a one-year deal to back up Joe Burrow would be the best-case scenario. Availability hasn't been Burrow's strength. Having Flacco ready to start a few weeks would be ideal for the Bengals. |

Bills | Matt Prater day-to-day Tue Jan 6, 12:45 AM
Buffalo Bills PK Matt Prater (quadriceps) is considered day-to-day because of his quadriceps injury, according to head coach Sean McDermott. McDermott said the team plans to try out kickers this week.
| Footballguys view: McDermott said that the team will be working out kickers in order to have a backup plan in the event Prater is not able to play. The Bills released Michael Badgley last week when Prater was deemed healthy enough to return. McDermott did not say whether he's under consideration for a return. |

49ers | Ricky Pearsall dealing with injury Mon Jan 5, 03:46 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) recently aggravated the posterior cruciate ligament injury in his knee and will be reevaluated later in the week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall's situation has remained tenuous since he returned from a right knee injury in Week 11. He reinjured his ankle and knee in Week 15 against Tennessee, missed the following week against Indianapolis, and then returned last week against Chicago. Saturday was Pearsall's eighth missed game. For the season, he had 36 receptions for 528 yards. He had four catches for 108 yards in the Week 1 meeting with Seattle. Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson move up in the rotation behind Jauan Jennings in Pearsall's absence. That will continue as needed. |
