Jaguars Retaining Grant Udinski, Anthony Campanile
The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Tuesday that both offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile will remain with the team for the 2026 season. Both Udinski and Campanile interviewed for multiple head-coaching openings this cycle, so they will return to Duval next season. The Jaguars excelled on both sides of the ball in 2025 under first-year head coach Liam Coen, which led to the team winning the AFC South. Jacksonville was unable to advance past the Buffalo Bills in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs, but they are a rising organization with the coaching staff staying intact. Under the 30-year-old Udinski, the offense ranked in the top 10 in points per game (27.9), scoring margin, first downs, and total touchdowns. Under Campanile, the Jags had the best run defense in the NFL and also set franchise records with 102 pass breakups, 31 takeaways, 22 interceptions, and a plus-13 turnover differential.

James Liipfert, Ian Cunningham the Finalists for Falcons GM Job
Houston Texans assistant general manager James Liipfert and Chicago Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham are the two finalists for the Atlanta Falcons' GM position, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Both Liipfert and Cunningham will be in Atlanta this week for second interviews. Liipfert is a Georgia native and had a strong first interview with the team. Cunningham has been viewed as "the" favorite for the job for a while now, and he also interviewed for the team's president of football job before it went to former quarterback Matt Ryan. Whoever is hired for the job to replace Terry Fontenot will be working closely with both Ryan and new head coach Kevin Stefanski to try to turn the organization around after eight straight losing seasons.

Jim Schwartz the Favorite to Become Next Browns Head Coach?
Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz seems to be gaining momentum to become the Browns' next head coach, a league source told Mark Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Schwartz has previous head-coaching experience with the Detroit Lions from 2009 through 2013, going 29-51, although he did lead them to a playoff appearance. The 59-year-old joined the Browns in 2023, the same year that the Browns had the top defense in the league. The Browns really don't want to lose Schwartz as a coach, but the only way they might be able to retain him is to promote him to head coach. In addition to Schwartz, the Browns' finalists are Baltimore Ravens OC Todd Monken and Los Angeles Rams pass-game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase. Cleveland's defense has been strong in recent years under Schwartz, but they'd need a strong OC candidate if Stefanski gets the job as head coach.

Bills Promote Joe Brady to Head Coach
The Buffalo Bills are promoting offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Brady, who has spent the last four years on Buffalo's coaching staff, will be replacing Sean McDermott after his nine-year run as the Bills' head coach. Brady took over as the OC for Ken Dorsey and has been in the role the last two seasons, developing a close relationship with star quarterback Josh Allen. All along, the Bills wanted their new head coach to be offensive-minded and someone who could develop a strong relationship with Allen. Brady already has a strong working relationship with Allen, so the move makes plenty of sense. He'll have big shoes to fill, as McDermott led the team to eight playoff victories in his nine years at the helm. Ultimately, the move to promote Brady to head coach is great news for Allen's fantasy outlook in the years to come.

Jets Still Believe in Aaron Glenn
ESPN's Rich Cimini writes that the New York Jets still believe in head coach Aaron Glenn and are optimistic that he can turn things around in 2026 after a miserable 3-14 season in his first year on the job. It won't be easy, as only four head coaches out of 23 since 2000 to win three or fewer games in their first season have rebounded to make the playoffs during their tenure, so Glenn could be fighting an uphill battle. A former general manager with four decades in personnel said he thinks Glenn's first-year decisions were very poor. "He did nothing with the culture," the former GM said. Jets players praised Glenn for being consistent and a good communicator, but that just didn't translate on game days. Owner Woody Johnson said Glenn is "the real deal." The Jets may believe in Glenn, but he'll have to turn things around quickly if he's going to last beyond Year 2. New York's defense was the first in league history to go the entire season without an interception, and the Jets also became the first team in NFL history to lose five straight games by 23 or more points.

Seahawks the Early Favorites Over Patriots in Super Bowl LX
The Seattle Seahawks have opened as 3.5-point favorites over the New England Patriots for Super Bowl LX, according to Doug Greenberg of ESPN. The Seahawks then quickly jumped up to 4.5-point favorites, according to DraftKings odds. If the Patriots close as underdogs for the big game in two weeks, it will break a streak of eight straight Super Bowls in which they've been favored. The last time New England was an underdog in a Super Bowl was in 2002, when they upset the St. Louis Rams for the franchise's first title. This year's Patriots and Seahawks both entered the year at +6000 to win the Super Bowl. The Patriots were as long as 120-1 to win it all in 2025 after Week 3, when they started 1-2. Underdogs have won the last three Super Bowls outright and have covered the spread in five straight. Against the spread in Super Bowls all time, underdogs are 30-27-2.

Bills Request to Interview Nate Scheelhaase for Head-Coaching Job
The Buffalo Bills have requested to interview Los Angeles Rams passing-game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase for their head-coaching job, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Scheelhaase is also a finalist for the head-coaching job with the Cleveland Browns and is interviewing with them on Monday. In addition to the Bills and Browns, Scheelhaase had head-coaching interviews with the Baltimore Ravens, Las Vegas Raiders, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens and Steelers have since hired new head coaches, but Scheelhaase, one of the fastest-rising young coaches in the NFL, is still in play with the Raiders, Browns, and now the Bills. The 35-year-old has only two years of coaching experience in the NFL, both with the Rams. Before joining the NFL, he coached at Illinois and Iowa State. The Bills are looking to replace former head coach Sean McDermott, who was with the franchise for nine years.

Mike LaFleur Scheduled for Second Head-Coaching Interview With Cardinals
Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur is scheduled to meet with the Arizona Cardinals for a second, in-person interview on Monday and Tuesday for the head-coaching job, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. LaFleur has worked as the Rams' offensive coordinator under head coach Sean McVay for the last three seasons. Before that, he had an unsuccessful two-year stint as the New York Jets' OC. LaFleur hasn't generated a ton of interest -- probably because he was not the one calling plays in L.A. for the Rams' offense -- but he's also a head-coaching candidate for the Las Vegas Raiders. The 38-year-old has also coached with the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, and Cleveland Browns under head coach Kyle Shanahan. He is the younger brother of Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.

Anthony Weaver a Finalist for Cardinals Head-Coaching Job
The Arizona Cardinals are interviewing former Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver a second time on Monday for their head-coaching job, sources told Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Weaver was a finalist for the head-coaching jobs with the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers this cycle, and he was also a finalist for the New Orleans Saints' head-coaching gig last year. The 45-year-old was the Dolphins' defensive coordinator the last two years and also worked for the Ravens from 2021 to 2023 under head coach John Harbaugh. Weaver could be an ideal fit for the Cardinals organization as they look to replace Jonathan Gannon. The Buffalo Bills are also in play for Weaver, but the Cardinals appear to be making the bigger push for him. The Bills seem to prefer an offensive-minded head coach to pair with quarterback Josh Allen, so Weaver might be more of a long shot there.

Sean McDermott Likely to Take a Year Off From Coaching
Former Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott, who was surprisingly fired after his ninth year in Buffalo, is likely to take a year off from coaching, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. McDermott would be one of the top head-coaching candidates for any of the remaining NFL jobs, but to Rapoport's knowledge, he has not expressed interest in any of the openings around the league. Former QB Philip Rivers was among those who interviewed for the Bills' vacant head-coaching job last week, but he has since withdrawn his name from the search. Quarterback Josh Allen is firmly involved in the team's search for a new head coach and will have a big say on who the organization eventually goes with to replace McDermott. In his nine years as head coach, McDermott led Buffalo to eight playoff wins, but his failure to advance to the Super Bowl ultimately cost him his job.

Grant Udinski Withdraws From Browns Head-Coaching Search
Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski has withdrawn his name from the Cleveland Browns' head-coaching search on the heels of agreeing to a new deal with the Jaguars, a source told Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Despite the agreement, Jacksonville is allowing Udinski to continue pursuing the head-coaching job with the Buffalo Bills. If he doesn't land the job in Buffalo, he will be back with head coach Liam Coen in Duval in 2026. Despite being only 30 years old, Udinski is already a legitimate head-coaching candidate. Udinski didn't call plays for the Jags offense in 2025, but he did help them finish sixth in scoring, 11th in total yards, and 12th in passing yards. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence also had a career-high 29 touchdown passes and 38 total TDs, which was third in the NFL behind Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen.

Bills Expected to Reach Out to Davis Webb About Head-Coaching Job
The Buffalo Bills are expected to reach out to Denver Broncos passing-game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Davis Webb for their head-coaching job, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Webb, a former QB with the Bills, is a quick riser in the coaching ranks in the NFL and is also a strong candidate for the head-coaching job this cycle for the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite having no previous play-calling experience in the NFL, Webb could be an option in Buffalo because of his relationship with QB Josh Allen. Webb was a backup for the Bills from 2019 to 2021 before getting his start in coaching in 2023 with the Broncos. It remains to be seen if Webb will get a head-coaching job this cycle, but there's no question that he's quickly become one of the best young, rising offensive-minded coaches in the league.

Joe Brady has Second Interview for Raiders Head-Coaching Job
Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady was in Las Vegas on Sunday for a second head-coaching interview with the Raiders, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Brady interviewed with the Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins, and Atlanta Falcons before they went with other options, and he's still in play for the head-coaching jobs with the Bills and Arizona Cardinals. In addition to Brady, the other finalists to take over for Pete Carroll in Vegas are Seattle Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak, Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb, Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, and former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll. The Raiders are fully expected to select quarterback Fernando Mendoza first overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, so they will most likely go with an offensive-minded head coach.

Mike McDaniel Still in the Running for Raiders Head-Coaching Job
Former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is still in the running for the Las Vegas Raiders' head-coaching job, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. If McDaniel doesn't land another head-coaching job this cycle, he's expected to be the Los Angeles Chargers' new offensive coordinator to replace Greg Roman, who was fired after the 2025 season. McDaniel pulled out of the head-coaching searches for the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills, but he's still in play in Vegas. The favorites for the Raiders' head-coaching job right now might be Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb. The most likely scenario for McDaniel is that he heads to L.A. to run their offense next season. With the Raiders expected to take quarterback Fernando Mendoza first overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, they are looking for an offensive-minded head coach.

Klint Kubiak a Prime Candidate for Raiders Head-Coaching Job
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Las Vegas Raiders' head-coaching search should come into focus after Sunday. Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is a prime candidate to become the Raiders' next head coach after a strong first interview, according to multiple league sources. Denver Broncos pass-game coordinator Davis Webb is also mentioned in league circles as a viable option. Los Angeles Rams assistant coaches Mike LaFleur, Chris Shula, and Nate Scheelhaase have also interviewed virtually for the job. The Seahawks had the No. 3 scoring offense this year under Kubiak, and he's an attractive offensive mind with ties to San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. After firing Pete Carroll following his lone season with the team, the Raiders are reportedly looking to hire a young offensive-minded coach who will be able to develop quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to be selected by Vegas with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
