Falcons completed and interview with Texans assistant general manager James Liipfert for the general manager vacancy.

29 January 2026

Liipfert is reportedly a finalist, alongside Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham. Both candidates completed second-round, in-person interviews today. Liipfert operates as the director of college scouting within his current role.

Eagles hired Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator.

29 January 2026

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero believes “a schematic shift coming to Philly,” noting that Mannion played under Rams head coach Sean McVay and Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell before serving as quarterbacks coach for the Packers under head coach Matt LaFleur. All three coaches use play action, shifts and motion far more than the Eagles did under former OC Kevin Patullo. Pelissero’s belief is reasonable and bodes positively for a more fantasy-friendly environment in 2026.

49ers completed an interview with former Falcons head coach Raheem Morris for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

29 January 2026

Morris spent the last two seasons serving as the Falcons’ head coach. Before that, he served as defensive coordinator for the 49ers’ division-rival Rams from 2021-2023. He held myriad roles with the Falcons from 2015-2020, coaching on both sides of the ball, including wide receivers and defensive backs.

49ers completed an interview with Raiders pass game coordinator and DB coach Joe Woods for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

29 January 2026

Campen previously coached the Packers’ offensive line under head coach Mike McCarthy and notably served as his run game coordinator for one season as well. Campen has been out of football for the past two seasons, most recently having coached the Panthers’ offensive line from 2022-2023.

Steelers hired James Campen as their new offensive line coach.

29 January 2026

Campen previously coached the Packers’ offensive line under head coach Mike McCarthy and notably served as his run game coordinator for one season as well. Campen has been out of football for the past two seasons, most recently having coached the Panthers’ offensive line from 2022-2023.

LSU OC Charlie Weis Jr. “keeps coming up in league circles” regarding the Giants’ offensive coordinator vacancy.

29 January 2026

SNY TV’s Connor Hughes notes that Weis arrived at Ole Miss the same year as Giants QB Jaxson Dart (2022), serving as his quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator all three years. The two reportedly remain close. Reuniting them makes sense.

Eagles completed an interview with Texans QB coach Jerrod Johnson for their offensive coordinator vacancy.

29 January 2026

Johnson interviewed for the role in-person today, having advanced to the second round of interviews earlier this week. He was previously linked to the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator vacancy as well. Johnson has served in his current role with the Texans since 2023.

ESPN’s Todd Archer believes Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue “comes into camp as the No. 3 back at best.”

29 January 2026

“Even if [Javonte] Williams does not re-sign, the Cowboys will look to find a lead back in free agency,” Archer adds. Blue had a nice meaningless Week 18 game where he almost doubled his carry total for the season and scored, but we agree with Archer that it’s hard to view him as a potential 2026 lead back for the Cowboys at this point. Blue’s dynasty stock is well down from its 2025 preseason peak.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports one candidate for the Raiders’ head coaching vacancy predicted, “it’s probably (Kubiak’s) job to lose.”

29 January 2026

Per Fowler, the Raiders are interviewing Klint Kubiak this weekend and will then make their final decision for their head coaching vacancy. Vegas has spent its top two picks in each of the past two drafts on offensive players. They are also about to spend the No. 1 overall pick on Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. The team is built around offensive cornerstones and Kubiak is one of the hottest offensive-minded head coaching candidates on the market. Barring a last-second twist, all signs poi ...

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports the Cardinals and Raiders are “both waiting to talk” to Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak before making a final decision on their head-coaching vacancies.

29 January 2026

Both teams are scheduled to have an in-person interview with Kubiak on Saturday per Breer. The Raiders have been positioned as the “prime candidate” and Kubiak’s “job to lose” in recent days, but it might come down to which team he feels more comfortable with. These are two of the weakest organizations in the NFL over the past three seasons. Kubiak may ultimately be choosing between Fernando Mendoza and the vacuum that the Cardinals have at quarterback with Kyler Murray expected to be ...

Bills hired Pat Meyer as their new offensive line coach.

29 January 2026

Meyer served as the Panthers’ offensive line coach from 2020-2021, while new Bills head coach Joe Brady served as the Panthers’ offensive coordinator. Meyer spent the following five seasons serving in the same role with the Steelers.

The Athletic’s Josh Kendall believes Bijan Robinson’s heavy workload will continue “and perhaps even increase” under new head coach Kevin Stefanski.

29 January 2026

The Falcons gave Robinson 366 touches in 2025, third in the league behind Jonathan Taylor (369) and Christian McCaffrey’s league-leading 413. Tyler Allgeier is a free agent and Stefanski’s teams have heavily emphasized the run. While we’re not saying that Robinson is a sure bet for an increase — it’s hard to call any player with 366 touches as “due” for more work — it does appear to at least be on the table. That would only strengthen his case to go 1.1 in most standard drafts in ...

The Athletic’s Josh Kendall and Jeff Howe report Kirk Cousins is expected to be released.

29 January 2026

The way the Falcons re-structured Cousins’ contract earlier in the offseason pointed to this, but Kendall also reports that Cousins could be brought back by the Falcons on a less-expensive contract. Cousins will likely have his share of suitors in the offseason despite entering his age-38 season, so it’s no lock he’d be back in Atlanta if released. Kevin Stefanski notably didn’t say much when asked about Cousins at his opening press conference earlier in the week.

Falcons completed an interview with Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham for their general manager vacancy.

29 January 2026

Cunningham previously interviewed for the Falcons’ president of football position, and has now completed two interviews for their general manager vacancy. Reports continue to list him as a favorite for this role. Texans assistant GM James Liipfert is also considered a finalist for the position.

Giants requested an interview with Colts pass-game coordinator Alex Tanney for their offensive coordinator vacancy.

29 January 2026

The long-time journeyman quarterback had worked as Eagles quarterbacks coach before packing up to Indianapolis with Shane Steichen. It’s his first offensive coordinator interview. Tanney is most famous for posting several trick-shot videos on YouTube in the early 2010s. He attempted just 15 professional passes from 2012-2020, spending the 2018-2020 seasons with the Giants.

Bills head coach Joe Brady said WR Keon Coleman “is not done being a Buffalo Bill.”

29 January 2026

Last week, Bills owner Terry Pegula blamed former head coach Sean McDermott for the second-round pick spent on Coleman in 2024, absolving general manager Brandon Beane along the way. Brady said that he spoke with Coleman after being named the Bills’ new head coach, telling the young wide receiver that he fully supports him. Day 2 picks are rarely traded or released just two years into their career, but Brady’s comments help clarify Coleman’s status on the roster following Pegula’s strong ...

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks said he was “hopeful” to attend minicamp but “there is no set date” on his full return.

29 January 2026

Brooks missed the entire 2025 season after tearing his ACL for the second time in 2024. He’s still entering his age-23 season and the third year of his rookie contract, so we can’t rule out that he’ll see a real role with the Panthers in 2026. How the Panthers treat Rico Dowdle (or a replacement for Dowdle) in free agency will likely tell us a lot about how they view Brooks’ recovery, but Panthers GM Dan Morgan did praise how he was attacking his rehab and said he’s “looking great. ...

Giants will visit with Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter to discuss their offensive coordinator vacancy.

29 January 2026

Cooter has also been linked to the Eagles this offseason and has interviewed with them twice. As a non-playcaller behind Shane Steichen in Indianapolis, it’s natural that he’d accept a lateral move that allows him to call plays. It’s also possible this is a leverage interview to try to draw an offer from Philadelphia, though that would just be speculation on our part.

Bills general manager Brandon Beane said he expects to pick up TE Dalton Kincaid’s fifth-year option.

29 January 2026

Specifically, Beane said he does not “see any reason why we wouldn’t pick that up,” adding that the Bills’ mission is to help Kincaid stay healthy. We expect them to follow through, but this falls short of a firm commitment. Kincaid has been plagued by injuries during his three years in the NFL and told reporters earlier today that he does not plan to undergo surgery to correct the PCL tear in his knee, instead opting for more rehab. He initially suffered the injury in 2024 and “contin ...

ESPN’s Ben Baby reports Bengals RB Chase Brown is “in talks” with the Bengals regarding an extension.

29 January 2026

Brown had an uneven fantasy season as he was disastrous pre-Joe Flacco and the Bengals simply couldn’t get the ground game going, but came on strong in the second half of the season and wound up with a 69/437/5 receiving line. Entering his age-26 season and the final year of his rookie contract, an extension would seem to make sense given the Bengals don’t exactly have anyone waiting in the wings. 2025 sixth-rounder Tahj Brooks is the closest thing Cincinnati has to a prospect at the positio ...
