49ers signed LB Kyzir White off the Titans practice squad.

06 January 2026

White gives the 49ers some emergency depth for the playoffs with Tatum Bethune hurt. The 49ers finished Week 18 with Eric Kendricks and Garret Wallow at linebacker and won’t get Fred Warner back until the NFC Championship, at earliest.

Packers waived QB Clayton Tune.

06 January 2026

Over three seasons with the Cardinals and Packers, Tune is 21-of-38 for 112 scoreless yards, three interceptions, and has taken 12 sacks. On the bright side, he still has his youth. The Packers decided to add Desmond Ridder to the playoff roster over Tune. We don’t think anything we can say would be meaner than that.

Cardinals requested to interview 49ers DC Robert Saleh for their head-coaching vacancy.

06 January 2026

It’s the first request for Saleh this year. For a brief shining moment ahead of the firing of Jaguars GM Trent Baalke, Saleh was the favorite there in 2025 after interviewing well. He also interviewed for the Cowboys vacancy in the 2025 offseason. The 49ers have been besieged with defensive injuries in 2025, losing stars Nick Bosa and Fred Warner for most of the season, but have been respectable in spite of that.

Cardinals requested permission to interview Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver for their head-coaching vacancy.

06 January 2026

It is Weaver’s second request of the cycle after he drew one from the Falcons yesterday. Miami’s defensive coordinator has been a finalist for the Saints, Commanders, and Falcons over the past couple of offseasons. Weaver certainly seems worthy of a chance to be a head coach at this point. We’ll see if he can become a favorite for anyone else this offseason. The Dolphins finished 24th in defensive DVOA last year with a skeleton crew defensive backs room.

Dolphins requested an interview with Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander for their general manager vacancy.

06 January 2026

Alexander, who came over from the Jets to join former Ravens charge Joe Hortiz, interviewed for the Raiders and Jaguars jobs in the 2025 offseason. The Dolphins continue to grow their general manager interview pool.

Browns requested permission to interview Ravens OC Todd Monken for their head-coaching vacancy.

06 January 2026


Ravens signed CB Amani Oruwariye to a reserve/futures contract.

06 January 2026

The former Lions starter has bounced around between the Jaguars, Cowboys, and Ravens the last three seasons. He’ll be cornerback depth for Baltimore in 2026. The Ravens also signed T Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan, WR Cornelius Johnson, DT David Olajiga, G Jared Penning, DB Marquise Robinson, DE Kaimon Rucker and RB Lucas Scott to reserve/future deals.

Colts signed LB Austin Ajiake to a one-year contract extension.

06 January 2026

An exclusive rights free agent, Ajiake had 32 tackles and played 70 percent of the Colts special teams snaps this year. He also saw some sparse time at linebacker, with 157 defensive snaps over 16 games. The Colts also agreed to terms with RB Ulysses Bentley IV, CB Wyett Ekeler, DE Viliami Fehoko Jr., G LaDarius Henderson, QB Seth Henigan, T Bayron Matos, C Jimmy Morrissey, TE Sean McKeon, S Trey Washington, WR Coleman Owen, DT Tim Smith, G Bill Murray, DE Durell Nchami, S Ben Nikkel, WR Eli Pan ...

Commanders signed WR Ja’Corey Brooks, CB Tre Hawkins, DE D.J. Johnson, WR Jacoby Jones, DE TJ Maguranyanga, S Rob McDaniel, T Tim McKay, CB Darius Rush, CB Car’lin Vigers, G Sala Aumavae-Laulu and DT Ricky Barber to reserve/future contracts.

06 January 2026

In case you’re wondering, it’s not former Texans/Ravens wideout Jacoby Jones, but a wholly different Jacoby Jones who came out of UCF as an undrafted free agent in 2025. This Jones ran a 4.68s 40-yard-dash and is more of a special teamer who hangs around the roster. Glad we could clear that up for you. And us. But mainly you.

Giants requested permission to interview Colts DC Lou Anarumo for their head-coaching vacancy.

06 January 2026

They’re the second team to add the Colts DC to their interview list, after the Titans. Anarumo appears to have rejuvenated his reputation after being fired in Cincinnati after 2024 in a hurry. The Colts finished 23rd in yards allowed and 21st in points allowed, with their best finish in any category being allowing only 3.9 rushing yards per attempt.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo believes “staffing changes” could happen in Baltimore.

06 January 2026

The Ravens are reportedly letting the emotions of their loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday night die down still, but it’s possible that Harbaugh and/or his coordinators could still be let go later this week. Josina Anderson reported that Ravens OC Todd Monken had been a name of interest for the Clemson offensive coordinator job and that “some staff changes are coming relatively soon” for the Ravens. That can only mean that we must #StayTuned.

Bears designated CB Kyler Gordon (hamstring) to return from injured reserve.

06 January 2026

His 21-day practice window is open, though this is pretty clearly a four-day runway to get him ready for Saturday. Gordon has played just three games this year, Weeks 6 and 7, as well as Week 13, while struggling through a long-term injury. If healthy, he’d be a huge addition. The key words there are “if healthy.” The Bears also opened OT Braxton Jones’ 21-day window, though he might only make the roster as a backup at this point.

Jets signed LB Ochaun Mathis, WR Jamaal Pritchett, DB Samuel Womack, OL Liam Fornadel, and DE Paschal Ekeji to reserve/future contracts.

06 January 2026

Mathis, a 2023 sixth-rounder of the Rams, has played in 17 NFL games and 107 defensive snaps and has five tackles and a quarterback hit, as well as a forced fumble. He did play heavily on special teams in New England, so he offers some roster versatility.

Chiefs waived QB Shane Buechele.

06 January 2026

Buechele was signed off the Bills practice squad ahead of Week 18 and completed 7-of-14 passes for 88 yards against the Raiders in a game that neither team seemed to want to win. His reward was being waived. The Chiefs also signed LB Kam Arnold, DT Marcus Harris, WR Jimmy Holiday and T Matt Waletzko to reserve/future deals.

Falcons requested permission to interview 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams for their “president of football” position.

06 January 2026

“President of football” being a very silly term aside, reporters have made it clear that the Falcons want to check the box on this job before they get to their GM and head-coaching vacancies. Williams has already been requested for the Dolphins GM position and was a finalist for the Jaguars GM position last offseason.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn, asked if Justin Fields would be back in 2026, said “he’s under contract.”

06 January 2026

So, probably not then. Fields enters year two of a two-year contract as either a trade possibility or a candidate for release. The trade would save more cap space for the Jets, so we’d expect them to pursue that avenue. Fields would still be a fairly good backup quarterback option for most teams even if he hasn’t delivered great results as a starter. The 2021 first-rounder turns 27 in March.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor said he doesn’t anticipate any changes to his coaching staff in 2026.

06 January 2026

In other words, embattled DC Al Golden has survived. This seemed impossible in November, when the Bengals were putting up numbers that generated WOAT discussion in the field of defensive performance. Things did turn around a bit towards the end of the season. We can’t say we’re surprised that the Bengals retained Golden, because they are reluctant to make major changes to a fault, but it is definitely a bold move by Taylor to attach his coaching future to what happened to this defense in 202 ...

Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt was sentenced to five days in jail after pleading guilty to traffic charges.

06 January 2026

Taylor-Britt, who in late November was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury, pleaded guilty to reckless driving and an unclassified no-license charge stemming from an incident in September, according to media reports. His sentence is expected to start immediately. Taylor-Britt, 26, selected by the Bengals in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft, has seven interceptions over 47 games in the NFL. It’s unclear if the team or the league will take action against him for the 2026 season.

Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is expected to interview with the Giants, Raiders, Titans, and Cardinals for those teams’ head coaching vacancies.

06 January 2026

ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed these teams’ interest in Joseph after he coached one of the NFL’s most dominant defenses in recent memory. Over the past two seasons the Broncos have allowed the league’s lowest offensive success rate and the third lowest EPA per play. Joseph would look to revamp the defenses of any one of these teams; all of them rank among the NFL’s worst units.

ESPN’s Field Yates reports the Falcons and QB Kirk Cousins agreed to a “modified” final two years of Cousins’ contract.

06 January 2026

The adjustments mean Cousins could stick around Atlanta for another year or two depending on what the Falcons want to do at the QB position in 2026 and beyond. Cousins, 37, showed signs of life in the season’s final month after Michael Penix was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. He had multiple touchdowns in three of his final four games and had two games of more than 230 passing yards in the run-first Falcons offense. The contract modification could also make Cousins a trade candi ...
