The Houston Texans have interviewed Thad Lewis for their vacant offensive-coordinator position. Lewis is currently the quarterbacks coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has reportedly been requested to interview for multiple jobs this offseason, but this is the first one he has taken. Lewis joined the Bucs staff in 2020 and has worked his way up to being the QB coach. Lewis was a backup quarterback in the league for a few years before deciding to switch to coaching. He certainly deserves some credit for the incredible turn around of Baker Mayfield's career in Tampa. It's unclear if the Bucs have any plans of promoting Lewis to offensive coordinator otherwise they could end up losing him to the Texans.

The Baltimore Ravens have hired Chuck Pagano as their senior secondary coach on Tuesday. Pagano joined the Ravens staff in 2008 and was eventually promoted to defensive coordinator in 2011. After that season, Pagano left to be the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. He spent six seasons there before becoming the defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears. His journey with the Bears ended in 2020 and Pagano hasn't coached since then. He'll now come out of retirement in order to be on John Harbaugh's coaching staff. The longtime head coach should be able to offer some helpful insight.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (triceps) has a shot at getting back on the field in time for the Super Bowl on Feb. 9. Graham tore his triceps in Week 12, which landed him on the injured reserve and ended his regular season. It now appears that there is an outside chance that Graham is ready to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Graham finished the regular season with 20 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and two passes defended in 11 games. The return of the 36-year-old would certainly give this defense a lift, but his chances of playing seem unlikely right now.

The Washington Commanders announced on Tuesday that they signed quarterback Sam Hartman, running back Kazmeir Allen, defensive tackle Viliami Fehoko Jr., guard Julian Good-Jones, tight ends Tyree Jackson and Cole Turner, defensive end Andre Jones Jr., wide receiver Chris Moore and safety Ben Nikkel to Reserve/Futures deals. Hartman went undrafted in 2024 but eventually latched on with the Commanders for training camp. The 25-year-old signal-caller didn't make the 53-man active roster for the start of the regular season but did spend time on the active roster later in the season when backup Marcus Mariota landed on Injured Reserve. However, Hartman never saw action in a regular season game and is still looking to make his NFL debut. With Mariota set to become a free agent in March, the Commanders have opted to bring Hartman back as QB insurance this offseason.

The Buffalo Bills announced on Tuesday that they signed running back Frank Gore Jr., wide receivers Tyrell Shavers, KJ Hamler and Jalen Virgil, cornerbacks Te'Cory Couch and Daequan Hardy, offensive lineman Mike Edwards, offensive tackle Richard Gouraige and defensive tackle Zion Logue to Reserve/Futures Deals. Gore, the son of NFL star RB Frank Gore, went undrafted out of Southern Mississippi in 2024 before latching on with the Bills. The 22-year-old spent most of the year on the practice squad but was active in Week 6 against the New York Jets, although he didn't play a snap. Hamler, a former second-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2020 out of Penn State, spent all year on Buffalo's practice squad. The 25-year-old is a speedy deep threat but has been limited by injuries. He has 42 receptions for 620 yards and three TDs on 80 targets in his three seasons with Denver.

The New York Post's Paul Schwartz writes that there is strong sentiment inside the New York Giants building this offseason for head coach Brian Daboll to give up offensive play-calling duties, and it has nothing to do with co-owner John Mara recently saying that Daboll should consider giving up play-calling duties for the 2025 season. If Daboll were to give play-calling duties back to offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, assuming Kafka doesn't become the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints, the feeling is that Daboll would be in a better spot to manage the whole team. Kafka called the plays in 2022 and 2023 before Daboll took over in 2024, with the G-Men finishing 31st in the NFL in scoring while going 3-14. The Giants offense has been better with Kafka calling the plays, but it may not matter in 2025 unless the team finds an upgrade at the quarterback position after moving on from Daniel Jones.

According to Tashan Reed and Vic Tafur of The Athletic, Miami Dolphins quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell is believed to be the front-runner for the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive-coordinator job, according to a league source. The Raiders aren't known to have had any interviews or requested any interviews for the offensive-coordinator role, but other coaches will be considered. It's an important role for the Raiders offense moving forward, as new head coach Pete Carroll will not call offensive plays. Carroll's sons Brennan and Nate could also be additions to the offensive coaching staff in 2025. Former Raiders and Seattle Seahawks coach Tom Cable is a candidate to become the offensive-line coach. Greg Olson, who was the Raiders' OC from 2013-14 and again in 2018-21, is another potential offensive assistant to keep an eye on in Vegas.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Detroit Lions have hired Denver Broncos pass-game coordinator John Morton as their new offensive coordinator on Tuesday. Morton recently interviewed for the position and will return to Detroit after working under head coach Dan Campbell several years ago. The 55-year-old will replace Ben Johnson, who took the head-coaching gig with the division-rival Chicago Bears. Morton worked as a senior offensive assistant with the Lions in 2022 before joining the Broncos in 2023. He was also the wide receivers coach for the New Orleans Saints in 2016 when Campbell was the assistant head coach/tight ends coach. Morton was the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets in 2017 and at USC from 2009-10, but he'll have big shoes to fill in his return to Detroit after the departure of Johnson, who elevated the Lions' offense to an elite level the last few years.

FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz reports that Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has decided to stay in D.C. for a second season despite drawing head-coaching interest around the league following an impressive turnaround that saw the Commanders go from four wins in 2023 to 12 wins in 2024 and an appearance in the NFC Championship game. Kingsbury's return will ensure continuity for the offense and for quarterback Jayden Daniels after a remarkable rookie season. The former Arizona Cardinals head coach will surely be a top head-coach candidate again next year. The opportunity to continue working with one of the best young QBs in the game was just too hard to pass up. With Kingsbury running the offense in 2024, the Commanders ranked seventh in total offense (369.6 yards per game) and fifth in scoring (28.5 points per game). It's great news for Daniels' stock in 2025.

The Athletic's Ben Standig writes that Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin's agent is expected to seek a new deal for the second-team All-Pro pass-catcher this offseason after recording his fifth straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 2024. In 17 regular-season games, McLaurin had 82 receptions on 117 targets for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels elevated the entire offense. McLaurin added 14 catches on 23 targets for 227 yards and three touchdowns in the team's three playoff games. Going into the 2025 campaign, McLaurin's seventh in the league, he will be much more expensive in fantasy drafts as a WR1 after Daniels' impressive rookie season. In his six years in the NFL, McLaurin has 38 total touchdowns in 97 regular-season games and is averaging 65.8 yards per game.

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said that he has no interest in trading All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett this offseason, even if another team was willing to give the Browns two first-round draft picks in exchange. Berry also said that he'd like Garrett to retire in Cleveland. "I think you can assume that we do anticipate at some point doing a third contract with Myles. We want him to retire here," Berry said. The 29-year-old defensive end became the first player in NFL history to have at least 14 sacks in four straight seasons after recording 14 sacks for the second straight year in 2024 in 17 regular-season games. The six-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro now has 102.5 sacks in his eight years with the Browns and doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Despite turning 30 this December, Garrett will be a high-end D line target in IDP fantasy formats this fall.

Detroit Lions passing-game coordinator Tanner Engstrand could be one of the lead candidates for the vacant New York Jets offensive-coordinator job under new head coach Aaron Glenn, according to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson. Glenn and Engstrand worked together for four seasons in Detroit, and that could go a long way in Engstrand landing the job. The 42-year-old has held roles as a quality control assistant, tight ends coach, and passing game coordinator under Dan Campbell, and the Lions have ranked second in passing yards per game in each of the last two seasons. Many league sources have expressed confidence that he will land the OC job this offseason.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is replacing Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on the AFC Pro Bowl roster, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. Wilson is headed to his 10th career Pro Bowl after Jackson opted out. The 36-year-old completed 63.7% of his passes for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 11 games for the Steelers in 2024. Wilson is a free agent this offseason, and his future is unclear. However, he now becomes the seventh quarterback in NFL history to be named to at least 10 Pro Bowls, joining Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and Johnny Unitas.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are requesting to interview Carolina Panthers pass-game coordinator Jonathan Cooley for their vacant defensive-coordinator job, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Cooley spent time with the Los Angeles Rams while new Jaguars head coach Liam Coen was there, so there is a pre-existing relationship. Cooley entered the NFL in 2020 as a defensive assistant for L.A. following nine years in the college coaching ranks.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake May has been added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster after Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen opted out. The rookie out of North Carolina showed flashes in Year 1 despite a mediocre supporting cast, completing 66.6% of his passes for 2,276 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He added 421 yards and two scores as a runner. The 22-year-old appears to be on an upward trajectory, but New England must address issues on the offensive line and wide receiver room under new head coach Mike Vrabel.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Erick All Jr. (knee), who tore his right ACL on Nov. 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders, is expected to miss all of the 2025 season due to complications from a previous knee surgery in college, according to team and league sources. All will need two surgeries to fix the issue. The 24-year-old fell to the fourth round of the 2024 draft because of medical concerns. In addition to his knee injury, he suffered a back injury in 2022 while at Michigan that led to "life-changing" spine surgery. All has now ended the last three years with an injury. His second knee surgery should set him up to hit the ground running in 2026, and the Bengals hope All can pick up where he left off in his rookie season when he caught 20 of 22 targets for 158 yards in nine games before tearing his ACL. All's biggest impact came in the running game as a blocker, though.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have plans to address their wide receiver room this offseason. "I think we have positions in the wide receiver room we're going to have to address. I think the wide receiver room is an area we've got to look at improving," owner Art Rooney II said on Tuesday. The Steelers could start adding by subtracting top wideout George Pickens, as many have speculated the team may look to trade the 23-year-old after showing maturity issues on and off the field. Head coach Mike Tomlin has said himself that Pickens needs to grow up. But even if the Steelers keep Pickens around, they definitely need to improve their depth at the position with Van Jefferson and Mike Williams both scheduled to be unrestricted free agents in March. Calvin Austin III has already proven that he's not a viable WR2. Perhaps Pittsburgh will be in the market for one of Tee Higgins, Chris Godwin or Amari Cooper.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said that he never actually had a formal interview with former NFL cornerback and current Colorado head coach Deion Sanders for the team's open head-coaching position. The Cowboys officially named Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach on Monday. "Just a conversation about the team, and about where he is, and his boys, conversation with his boys, that type of conversation," Jones said. "I've said I've talked to a lot of coaches, and Deion has a job." Hiring Sanders to replace Mike McCarthy at the helm in Dallas would have been a big splash for the organization, but Sanders has never coached in the NFL, and the Cowboys wanted to keep continuity with their offense by elevating Schottenheimer, who was the offensive coordinator in 2024. Sanders played for the Cowboys from 1995-99.

At his introductory press conference on Monday as the Jacksonville Jaguars' new head coach, Liam Coen said that he plans on building around quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who was the first overall pick back in 2021 out of Clemson. "How do we make Trevor Lawrence and this offense as dynamic and explosive as we can be? We've got to build it around him, we've got to make every part of this about improvement, and he will be a part of that process," Coen said. "He's earned that right. I cannot respect his toughness and mentality and work ethic more than I do already from afar. This will all be about Trevor." The 25-year-old so far has not lived up to his draft stock in four NFL seasons, and he played in a career-low 10 games in 2024 due to shoulder and concussion issues. Lawrence's fantasy stock has never been lower, but Coen's bright offensive mind should give him an opportunity to bounce back as a QB2 in 2025.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that they interviewed Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone for their offensive-coordinator job on Tuesday. The Bucs are looking for a new offensive coordinator after Liam Coen left to become the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Before Ragone joined the Rams in 2024, he was the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons for three seasons. He began his NFL coaching career in 2011 and has also coached with the Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans. Tampa is now looking for their fourth offensive coordinator in the last four years. They also interviewed offensive assistant/pass-game specialist Nate Scheelhaase and tight ends coach/pass-game coordinator Nick Caley for the offensive-coordinator position on Monday. The Bucs have also interviewed Chargers assistant Marcus Brady and Vikings assistant Grant Udinski.
