    Raiders interviewed Dolphins QB coach and passing game coordinator Darrell Bevell for their open offensive coordinator position.
    Bevell is believed to be the front-runner for the position and now the Raiders officially interview him. He was new Raiders head coach Pete Carroll’s offensive coordinator in Seattle for eight seasons, winning a Super Bowl with the squad. Spending the last three seasons as the Dolphins’ quarterbacks coach, Bevell could now return to Carroll’s side. The Raiders have question marks at quarterback and much of the rest of the offense, but hiring Bevell would reunite a successful coaching group, with rumors of Russell Wilson joining Las Vegas also gaining steam. Fantasy managers should still exercise caution with the Raiders offense still needing more pieces to work.
  • NO Cornerback #29

    Saints CB Paulson Adebo is making progress in his recovery after suffering a broken femur.
    The soon-to-be free agent cornerback posted a video on social media of himself dunking a basketball on Sunday, indicating the 25-year-old, four-year starter is well on his way to retaking the field in 2025. The Saints’ cornerback corps was in dire straits at the end of last season, with Adebo sidelined and former No. 1 CB Marshon Lattimore having been traded to the Commanders. Here’s hoping Adebo’s recovery allows him to sign a contract commensurate with his talent rather than having to take a “prove it” deal.
  • SF Coaching Staff
    Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports the Saints will interview 49ers assistant HC Brandon Staley for their defensive coordinator vacancy.
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported last week that Staley was considered the “leading candidate” to land the Saints defensive coordinator role. The former Chargers head coach hired Kellen Moore as the team’s offensive coordinator in 2023, and now he may have a chance to work under Moore as the first-time head coach rounds out his staff. Staley flamed out in his three seasons as the Chargers head coach but led a top defensive unit in 2020 during his lone season as the Rams’ defensive coordinator. Whoever lands this job will have their work cut out for them, as the Saints finished last season ranked 19th in points allowed and 30th in yards allowed, while also ranking outside the top 25 as a pass defense and a rush defense.
  • MIA Coaching Staff
    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Saints interviewed Dolphins WR coach Robert Prince.
    Prince was hired less than a month ago as the Dolphins WR coach but could once again be on the move. Prince spent one season with Moore and the Cowboys (2022) and first joined the NFL ranks in 2004 as an offensive assistant for the Falcons. His last offensive coordinator came at Boise State (2012 to 2013), but most of his work has been as a receivers coach. Prince, along with Eagles’ QB coach Doug Nussmeier, are two early candidates to land the Saints’ OC vacancy, with Nussmeier expected to speak to the team early this week.
  • Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports the Saints are interviewing Eagles DB coach Christian Parker for their defensive coordinator vacancy.
    Newly-minted head coach Kellen Moore continues to bring in familiar faces. Like former Chargers head coach Brandon Staley, who worked with Moore in 2023, Parker and Moore served on the Eagles’ championship coaching staff this season. Moore has been a defensive backs coach for the last four seasons and was hired as the Eagles’ DB/pass game coordinator last season after previously working with the Broncos from 2021 to 2023. He played a key role in reshaping an Eagles secondary that ranked among the worst in 2023 to one of the best in 2024 and ultimately proved capable of shutting down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. If he’s hired, this would mark the first time in his career that Parker has served as a defensive coordinator.
  • BAL Kicker #9
    The Baltimore Banner reports that seven additional massage therapists have come forward alleging misconduct by Ravens K Justin Tucker.
    Tucker has now been accused of misconduct by 16 different therapists across eight different spas. Like the others, these new accusations also include allegations of Tucker exposing himself to therapists, rubbing himself on them, and at times, touching their thighs. All 16 of Tucker’s accusers are women with similar stories. Whether they say it or not, it’s growing increasingly difficult for the Ravens to justify keeping Tucker, 35, around as allegations continue to mount.
  • MIN Coaching Staff
    Saints interviewed Vikings pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach Daronte Jones for their defensive coordinator vacancy.
    Jones also interviewed with the Jaguars and Bears this offseason after serving as the pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach for the Vikings for the previous three seasons. The 2024 version of the Minnesota defense held opponents to 6.5 yards per pass attempt, ranking 11th in the league, while also leading the league with 24 interceptions. Jones was first linked to the Saints on Thursday.
  • MIN Running Back #33
    The Vikings and Aaron Jones agreed to move the void date on his contract to the day before free agency, reports ESPN’s Field Yates.
    Jones’ contract was set to void this upcoming Monday, but both sides have agreed to allow more time to reach a new deal. Without this contract tweak, Jones’ $3.2 million in dead money would’ve hit Minnesota’s 2025 in full on Monday. Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said last week that he hopes to get Jones back for next season. The 30-year-old running back had a career-high 255 rushing attempts with the Vikings last season and a solid 4.5 yards per attempt. It’s unclear what kind of contract Jones is looking for at this point in his career or how likely the Vikings might be to meet his demands.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #3
    NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports that Tank Dell’s ACL reconstruction is now pending, following successful LCL and MCL repairs.
    DeMeco Ryans recently told reporters that Dell is “on the right track” in his recovery from a season-ending knee injury. We now know the specifics that prompted Ryans’ comment; two of the three injured ligaments have been successfully repaired. Whether Dell returns in time to take snaps in 2025 remains unknown but these are tangible, positive developments for the young receiver.
  • LV Front Office
    Jaguars interviewed Raiders assistant GM Champ Kelly for their general manager vacancy.
    Kelly has ascended through the ranks of the Broncos, Bears and Raiders’ personnel departments over the last 17 seasons. He briefly held the Raiders’ 2023 interim general manager position but returned to the assistant role for 2024. The Jaguars announced that Kelly’s interview “concludes [their] virtual interviews” and that they “will begin in-person interviews next week.”
  • PIT Outside Linebacker #91
    Steelers released OLB Preston Smith.
    Smith’s brief Steelers tenure comes to a close. The team traded for the then-disgruntled Packer in Week 10, when Smith made clear he felt out of sorts in the Packers’ newly installed 4-3 defensive scheme. The 32-year-old pass rusher notched 4.5 NFL sacks in 2024 and can likely still contribute as a rotational player elsewhere in 2025. The move saves the Steelers $27.5 million over the next two seasons.
