Since he was fired by the Dolphins just over a week ago, Mike McDaniel has been offered a litany of opportunities to move on in some form or fashion. Some teams (Titans, Falcons, Browns, and Ravens) have expressed interest in him as a potential head coach again, while some teams (Lions, Eagles, and Buccaneers) still have head coaches in place and are interested in him returning to a potential offensive coordinator job. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Chargers can be added to the latter group of teams as they are set to interview McDaniel to potentially replace...

The Seattle Seahawks are facing a potential nightmare scenario as they prepare to take on the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round. In a stunning development, Sam Darnold was added to the injury report with an oblique strain and he’s listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup.
Darnold expects to play and the team is officially “really optimistic” about his status. But there could be cause for concern based on Mike Macdonald’s most recent statements on the subject.
The Seahawks head coach was asked if Darnold would be limited by the injury, assuming he’s able to play. “Well, yeah, that’s...

In a moment that cut through the noise of NFL speculation, Mike Tomlin traded the sideline headset for a seat in the stands Friday night. Just days after stepping down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tomlin was spotted cheering on his daughter, Harley, at a high-stakes collegiate gymnastics meet. It’s an image that underscored a quieter, more personal turn in his storied career. The timing was poignant. Tomlin’s public appearance came shortly after Pittsburgh’s Wild Card loss to Houston. He announced shortly afterward that he would step away following 19 seasons.

Kylie Kelce had an NSFW response to a fan’s complaint about the constant swearing on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast.
In late 2024, Kylie Kelce announced that she was launching “Not Gonna Lie.” The first episode aired on Dec. 5 of that year and reached No. 1 on the Spotify and Apple charts, ahead of Joe Rogan’s controversial podcast.
Kylie was already well-known among NFL fans as the wife of Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce, who retired after the 2023 season. Jason and Kylie, of course, also have a larger following thanks to Travis Kelce’s highly publicized romance with Taylor...
Two top NFL owners are weighing in on New York City politics. Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft criticized Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his plans, raising concerns about the city’s future.
Mamdani became New York’s 112th mayor this month after winning November’s election on promises of big economic and social changes, though many were not happy with this win. His rise excited supporters but worried some business leaders.
Ross, a longtime New York businessman, spoke at a recent Bloomberg fireside chat. He warned that Mamdani’s policies might push companies out of the city, comparing...

Pro Football Rumors
If the Houston Texans had any hopes of taking down the Patriots, it was dashed on Friday.
The confidence to take down the number 2 seed dwindled last week when star wideout Nico Collins was carted off the field. It followed a nasty shot to his head. The news only got worse later in the week. On Friday, it was reported that the Texans would be without their top wideout against the New England Patriots. Collins has been ruled out due to a concussion.
In 15 regular-season games this year, Collins caught 71 passes for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns....
John Harbaugh got fired by the Baltimore Ravens and immediately had interest from multiple teams. The former Ravens head coach only planned to conduct interviews with three or four teams. One of those teams was the New York Giants.
The team put out an all-out blitz to ensure they got his attention over everybody else. Earlier this week, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported that the Giants made a $20 million-per-year offer. They wanted to show John Harbaugh just how much they wanted him.
Late Thursday night, it was reported that [Harbaugh and the New York Giants are finalizing...
Sammy P is eying two NFL playoff games and the CFP title game in his latest best bets.
The Los Angeles Rams are always one of the first teams to pop up in trade rumors for star players and it’s inevitable that they will be connected to A.J. Brown when the season is officially over. But if the Rams want to find a future after Davante Adams by trading for Brown, they should not do it for at least one simple reason: A.J. Brown is also too old.
The Eagles are hoping to find a sucker.
Ignore what Eagles GM Howie Roseman says about the team not intending to trade Brown, that’s the same schlock that general manager...

On Friday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that the team’s training camp will be moved from Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana, to franchise headquarters at its W. 56th street, Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center beginning in the 2027 offseason.
This offseason will mark the team’s final training camp at Grand Park, at least as it stands.
As the team announcement notes, the Colts will join the NFL’s 26 other teams who host their team training camp at their own practice facilities—meaning there will be five or fewer clubs who have their training camps off-site in 2027.
Outside of a few aberration...
