Pete Carroll

FA Front Office

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bears interviewed Pete Carroll for their head coaching vacancy.

Carroll, 73, has long been rumored to be interested in the Bears’ head coaching job long before the regular season came to an end. The former Seahawks head coach transitioned from head coach to a front office role with the team last offseason but is clearly ready to get back in the game after a year away. Carroll went 137-89 during his 14 seasons with the Seahawks, winning one of the two Super Bowls he appeared in. He also won double-digit games in eight of his 14 seasons. Long-known as a player’s coach, Carroll could be exactly the kind of guy who Caleb Williams needs to help him correct course after a forgettable rookie campaign.
Aaron Glenn

DET Defensive Coordinator

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Lions DC Aaron Glenn has declined an interview with the Patriots for their head coaching vacancy.

Glenn already has five interviews lined up over the next three days. The Lions’ defensive coordinator is already scheduled to speak with the Jets, Saints, Raiders, Jaguars, and Bears and is not interested in setting up a sixth interview at this time — for one reason or another. Glenn is a near lock to land a head coaching job this offseason after keeping the Lions’ defense competitive despite multiple injuries to key players all season long. There’s a good chance he’ll meet with a few of these teams for a second time next week.
Mike Vrabel

FA Coaching Staff

Patriots interviewed Mike Vrabel for their head coaching vacancy.

Considered by many to be the favorite to land the Patriots’ head coaching gig, Vrabel met in person with his former team on Thursday to discuss his plans for turning around an organization that has gone 33-51 in the post-Tom Brady era. In his six seasons as head coach of the Titans, Vrabel went 54-45 with three postseason appearances and two double-digit win seasons. With a stud rookie quarterback in Drake Maye already in tow, and nearly $130 million of available cap space this offseason, the Patriots should be one of the more attractive jobs for head coaching candidates this offseason.
Cade Otton

TB Tight End #88

Cade Otton (knee) was listed as a full participant on Thursday.

With one practice left to go in the week, Otton logging a full session is a great sign of his availability in the NFC Wild Card Game against the Commanders. We’ll have more clarity on his situation on Friday when the team releases its final injury report of the week, but it’s safe to say Otton is trending toward a return after missing the last three games of the regular season.
Jayden Daniels

WAS Quarterback #5

Jayden Daniels (quad) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

That’s two straight full practices for Daniels, who is all but a lock to start in the Commanders’ NFC Wild Card Game against the Buccaneers. Daniels was pulled from the second half of the Commanders’ Week 18 win over the Cowboys due to the quad injury, but that appears to be a minor issue. There’s no concern about Daniels’ availability at this time.
Mike Kafka

NYG Offensive Coordinator #9

Saints interviewed Giants OC Mike Kafka for their head coaching vacancy.

The Saints become the first team to interview Kafka during this coaching cycle. A third-year offensive coordinator for the Giants, Kafka’s underwhelming quarterback situation doesn’t appear to have cost him this coaching cycle, as the Bears also hope to speak with the former backup quarterback. Kafka met twice with the Seahawks last offseason before they decided to hire Mike Macdonald. Whether it’s with the Saints or another team, Kafka appears to be on the verge of landing a head coaching gig sooner or later.
Joshua Palmer

LAC Wide Receiver #5

Joshua Palmer (foot) won’t play in the Chargers AFC Wild Card Game against the Texans.

Palmer missed Week 18’s game against the Raiders with the same injury and could not get on the practice field this week. Palmer has caught 39 passes for 584 yards and one touchdown this season, and will now look to get right for the divisional round should the Chargers advance past the Texans on Saturday.
Quentin Johnston

LAC Wide Receiver #1

Chargers listed Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness) as questionable for the AFC Wild Card Round against the Texans.

Johnston was a limited participant in two of three practices this week. If he’s active, the Chargers’ second-year receiver could see a slight increase in targets this weekend after Josh Palmer (foot) has already been ruled out. Johnston erupted for 13 catches for 186 yards in the Chargers’ Week 18 win over the Raiders and end the regular season with a line of 55-711-8.
J.K. Dobbins

LAC Running Back #27

Chargers listed J.K. Dobbins (ankle) as questionable for the AFC Wild Card Game against the Texans.

Dobbins was limited in practice throughout the week, but this may have been more of a precautionary measure as the team prepares for their first game of the postseason. Over the final two weeks of the regular season, Dobbins rushed 37 times for 139 yards and one touchdown. He should be able to handle the majority of the Chargers’ backfield touches come Saturday, barring any setback.
Robert Saleh

FA Head Coach

49ers announced they interviewed Robert Saleh, formerly of the Jets, for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Saleh was the 49ers’ defensive coordinator from 2017-2020 and parlayed his success as a coordinator into the Jets head coaching job. Knowing this, it should come as no surprise that the 49ers are interested in interviewing Saleh for their defensive coordinator vacancy, with Josina Anderson going so far as to report that the 49ers plan to make an offer to Saleh before an interview was even announced. Saleh will logically be considered the favorite to land this gig, but he also has head coaching interviews lined up with both the Jaguars and Raiders.
