  • DET Running Back #5

    David Montgomery (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday.
    Montgomery’s continued participation suggests he remains setback-free. He told reporters earlier today that he is “ready to go” and his practice status confirms it. It is likely that the Lions continue to lean on Jahmyr Gibbs but Montgomery should be able to at least chip in, in lower-stakes situations.

    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Cowboys requested to interview Falcons TE coach Kevin Koger for their offensive coordinator vacancy.
    Kroger signed on with the Falcons last season after previously working with the Chargers during the Brandon Staley era. The Cowboys aren’t the first team to request an interview with Kroger; the Browns also spoke with him earlier this offseason before opting to hire Tommy Rees as their next offensive coordinator. If he were to be hired as the Cowboys’ OC, it would be the first head coaching job for Koger at any level.
  • FA Offensive Coordinator
    CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports Chip Kelly “is considered a target for both the Jaguars and Texans OC positions.”
    Jones also adds that Kelly “could get looks in Tampa Bay.” The 61-year-old former NFL head coach is fresh off winning a national championship in his first year as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator and had spent the previous six seasons at UCLA before leaving to take the job at Ohio State. Kelly spent six seasons in the NFL (2013-2016) during his time with the Eagles and 49ers. His offense ranked top five in both yards and points per game during his first season with the Eagles, and they finished 12th in scoring in his final year in Philly in 2015. Things went far worse for him in San Francisco, as his 49ers went 2-14 a year after Jim Tomsula led the team to a 5-11 record. There haven’t been any official reports of Kelly meeting with a team this offseason, but it wouldn’t be surprising if things ramped up in the coming days if the interest is real.
  • DET Safety #31
    Lions GM Brad Holmes said the team is open to exploring an extension for S Kerby Joseph this offseason.
    The Lions selected Joseph in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The third-year safety who was snubbed from the Pro Bowl is fresh off his first All-Pro season, in which he snagged a league-high nine interceptions while also totaling 83 tackles. He has one year remaining on his rookie contract, but the Lions are understandably open to securing him to a long-term deal this offseason. Holmes said an extension for Joseph is “on the docket in terms of — to be looked at and discussed,” so it doesn’t sound like an extension is imminent. Still, with other top players — like Aidan Hutchinson — also due a new deal soon, it would be wise for the Lions to get Joseph under contract before worrying about other deals.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Aaron Rodgers is open to returning to the Jets next season.
    Rapoport also adds that newly minted head coach Aaron Glenn is “open” to the possibility of Rodgers returning to the Jets next season. The 41-year-old quarterback is far from a lock to return to the team next season, but the early optics suggest it could happen. Even if Rodgers does suit up for Gang Green in 2025, it goes without saying that Rodgers isn’t their long-term solution at the position. Currently holding the No. 7 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, there’s a chance the Jets could find their franchise quarterback in the months to come, while Rodgers serves as a bridge to said QB early in the season. There’s still a lot to be sorted out here, but once what felt like a sure departure between Rodgers and the Jets could be more up in the air than initially believed.
  • WAS Offensive Coordinator
    Saints beat reporter Nick Underhill reports Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury will not make a decision on his coaching future until Washington’s season ends.
    Underhill adds, "(Kingsbury) won’t begin evaluating his options until they’re done playing.” Kingsbury has been most heavily linked to the Saints, a franchise now approaching desperation mode after seeing four other teams sign new head coaches and Joe Brady pull out of the running after electing to remain with the Bills in 2025. They might be forced to wait longer if the Commanders can pull off another unlikely playoff upset over the Eagles in the NFC Championship game Sunday.
  • BUF Offensive Coordinator
    CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports OC Joe Brady will remain with the Bills.
    Brady had been most heavily linked to the Saints head coaching job but informed the franchise that he will be returning to the Bills in 2025 as their offensive coordinator. We’ve seen the decision to bypass a head coaching job in favor of remaining with a coordinator’s current team pay dividends as recently as this season with the two coordinators from the Lions, something Brady appears to be gambling on this coaching cycle. It’s a gamble that could pay off if he did not consider the head coaching job in New Orleans to be desirable, particularly if the Bills make it past the Chiefs on Sunday and earn a spot in the Super Bowl. The decision could begin opening up traction for other head coaching candidates in this cycle for the Saints.
  • MIN Coaching Staff
    Buccaneers interviewed Vikings offensive assistant Grant Udinski for their vacant offensive coordinator position.
    Udinski served as the assistant quarterbacks coach for the Vikings in 2024. At just 29 years old, he represents a continued emphasis on youth amongst the offensive coaching ranks as the league continues to change. Udinski previously coached for the Panthers for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. It is Udinksi’s third interview for vacant offensive coordinator positions this hiring cycle.
  • FA Coaching Staff
    Lions promoted Shaun Dion Hamilton to LB coach.
    The former linebacker joined the Detroit coaching staff for the 2022 season after playing his final season in the league with the franchise a year prior. He quickly ascended the coaching ranks, most recently serving as the assistant linebackers coach before getting a promotion to linebackers coach as the team continues to fill their coaching vacancies from within. Now just 29 years old, Hamilton has the opportunity to continue his meteoric rise in the coaching ranks as he heads into the 2025 season with more responsibilities.
  • NYG Offensive Coordinator #9
    Saints interviewed Giants OC Mike Kafka for their vacant head coaching position.
    Kafka has served as the offensive coordinator for the Giants for each of the previous three seasons and appears to be close to securing his first head coaching job. He previously made the final round of interviews for the Seahawks and Cardinals in 2023 before staying with the Giants. Kafka is yet another young head coaching candidate in a recent wave of youth.
  • NYJ General Manager
    Jets hired former Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey as general manager.
    This was thought to be the case after Mougey bagged multiple interviews with the organization. He joins a franchise in the midst of massive turnaround in addition to the uncertainties at quarterback with the aging Aaron Rodgers. Mougey worked for the Broncos for 13 seasons, most recently being promoted to assistant general manager.
