Patullo will take the job left vacant by Kellen Moore, who was hired as the Saints’ next head coach after Philly’s Super Bowl victory. He will be Jalen Hurts’ fourth offensive coordinator in as many years. Moore and Shane Steichen were hired away as head coaches while Brian Johnson was a one-and-done promotion from within. Patullo has never called plays at the NFL level but has been with the Eagles since 2021, working closely with Moore and head coach Nick Sirianni. Moore laid out the blueprint for Philly’s offense last year. If Patullo can keep the team’s explosive run game on track while also scheming up looks for A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, the transition shouldn’t be an issue for the offense.

Per Schultz, the belief is the Rams would want a first-round pick for Stafford. Schultz also made it clear that the Rams want Stafford, who is looking for a new contract, back for the 2025 season. Teams always make calls when there is any chance of a marquee quarterback being moved, but the Rams wouldn’t have many options to replace Stafford if they ship him off. Given the almost annual rumors of Sean McVay flirting with retirement, it’s hard to imagine the team choosing 2025 as the offseason to call it quits on Stafford. Still, the idea that his days in LA are numbered does appear to have legs. This will be a recurring story over the next month as free agency approaches.

Williams was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over in Detroit in October and found to have two firearms in the front seat, one of them registered to Williams. Williams did not have a concealed pistol license to carry the weapon at the time but later obtained the permit, according to Birkett. The Lions wideout was arrested and released without charges. Williams had been suspended twice by the league for violating the NFL’s performance enhancing drug and gambling policies. Williams will enter 2025 as one of the league’s most explosive pass catchers following his first 1,000-yard season as a pro.

March 15, per Graziano, would be considered a “soft deadline” for Kelce to decide if he’ll retire or play another season with the Chiefs. It’s on the day that $11.5 million is due to Kelce as a roster bonus. Kelce, 35, who said on February 11 that he would “take some time” before making the call to return for a 13th NFL season, could conceivably collect that bonus and announce his retirement later in the spring or summer. “But it’s important to mention this is one of the greatest players in franchise history and isn’t likely to be shoved out the door over $11.5 million,” Graziano said. Kelce’s decision will impact the entire Kansas City offense and will continue to be a top storyline of the NFL offseason.

Kirk has one year remaining on his current deal and is scheduled to make $16.5 million in 2025. He missed much of the 2024 regular season after sustaining a broken collarbone in October, finishing the year with 27 catches for 379 yards and one touchdown on 47 targets. With Brian Thomas emerging as a dominant WR1 and Gabe Davis positioned as a downfield threat, along with a new regime in Jacksonville, could spell the end of Kirk’s run as a Jaguar, Graziano said. He added that Kirk’s contract “is reasonable enough that the Jaguars might be able to get something for him in a trade if he’s healthy.” Kirk, 28, would draw interest from wideout-needy teams if the Jags part ways with him in the coming weeks.

Andrews, headed into his age-30 season, is set to make $11 million in 2025, with a $4 million roster bonus due on March 17. “His salary cap number is $16.9 million, and because his salary is not guaranteed, the Ravens could save $11 million on this year’s cap if they cut him before the roster bonus is due,” Graziano said. This isn’t the first time Andrews’ future with Baltimore has been in question. The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec said in January that the team could trade or extend Andrews this offseason, depending on their commitment to one of Lamar Jackson’s most reliable targets. The presence of productive TE Isaiah Likely — who has thrived in games Andrews has missed over the past two seasons — could make Andrews expendable for the Ravens. Andrews single-handedly cost the Ravens an appearance in the AFC title game last month with brutal late-game drops.

Seifert says that this doesn’t mean that Minnesota has ruled out placing the franchise tag on Darnold, and that they also haven’t ruled out signing him to a multi-year deal. The Vikings could pull off a tag-and-trade with Darnold if a potential destination he’s interested in wants to jump the market. This will be a situation to monitor over the coming weeks, as it sounds like the Vikings will try to gather as much intelligence as they can before making the decision on the March 4 franchise tag deadline.

Boyd said Jones would make sense as a signing who could push Anthony Richardson in training camp and fill in for him should Richardson have yet another injury-marred season in 2025. Jones’ “abilities on the ground mean the offense won’t have to change much should Richardson miss more time due to injury,” Boyd said, adding Justin Fields could be another option for a Colts team hedging their bets on Richardson. Richardson is reportedly working with a biometrics coach to hone his throwing motion ahead of the 2025 season. Without a major leap in intermediate accuracy, Richardson could lose out to Jones after being benched for Joe Flacco in 2024.

Harbaugh made the comments as several NFL teams vied for Deshaun Watson after he had been accused by dozens of women of sexual misconduct. Harbaugh’s comments have resurfaced in light of Ravens K Justin Tucker being accused of misconduct by 16 massage therapists from eight different spas in the Baltimore area. We’ll see if Harbaugh and the Ravens stick by the zero tolerance policy as legal proceedings unfold. The team would absorb a $7.5 million dead money hit if they were to release Tucker — the most accurate kicker in NFL history — before June 1. A post-June 1 release would create $4.2 million of cap savings and spread out the dead money over the next two years. Tucker, coming off the worst season of his career, has three years remaining on his current deal with Baltimore.

Ward appears unlikely to participate in the Combine, like other recent highly touted prospects primed to go in the first couple picks of the draft. Ward did, however, offer a warning to NFL teams who might pass on him because he sat out the second half of his final collegiate game. “You’re either going to draft me or you’re not,” Ward told the Associated Press Monday. “If you don’t draft me, that’s your fault. You’ve got to remember you’re the same team that’s got to play me for the rest of my career, and I’ll remember that.” Ward threw for 39 touchdowns and 4,313 yards for the Hurricanes last year, adding 204 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. The QB-needy Titans, who have the first overall pick in the 2025 draft, seem like a likely landing spot for Ward.
