The Detroit Lions are rebuilding their coaching staff after significant changes following the conclusion of their 2024 season. After promoting Kelvin Sheppard from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator to replace Aaron Glenn, the team is now targeting Denver Broncos pass game coordinator Johnny Morton to fill the offensive coordinator role vacated by Ben Johnson. Glenn and Johnson were among the top head coaching prospects in the NFL this year, so their departures weren’t unexpected. Glenn joined the New York Jets, while Johnson stayed in the NFC North by taking the head coaching job with the Chicago Bears. With no clear…
This offseason promises to be an exciting one for the Detroit Lions. After finishing the season with a 15-2 record, the team now has plenty of cap space to make improvements as they aim for their first Super Bowl appearance. Before making any moves, though, the Lions will need to evaluate some players as potential cut candidates to free up additional cap space. One player who could be on the chopping block is All-Pro wide receiver and return specialist Kalif Raymond. According to Pro Football Network’s Ben Rolfe, Raymond is a noteworthy candidate for relg Raymond made the All-Pro…

After being mentioned as a potential candidate, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Sunday that Denver Broncos passing game coordinator John Morton had emerged as a leading contender for the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator position. Morton had already interviewed with Lions head coach Dan Campbell. On Monday’s episode of “The Pat McAfee Show,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter confidently suggested Morton would be the choice to replace Ben Johnson. Schefter later confirmed in a report that the Lions are actively working to hire Morton. According to Schefter: “The Lions are working to hire Broncos pass game coordinator Johnny Morton…
The Pittsburgh Steelers appear to be stuck in a cycle of quarterback uncertainty, a trend that’s persisted for several years. Following the 2023 season, they were forced to overhaul the quarterback position, and there’s a realistic possibility they might have to do so again this offseason. Despite quarterback being the most crucial position in the NFL, the Steelers have struggled to address it effectively. While quick, low-cost solutions may offer temporary relief, they make it much harder to secure a true franchise quarterback without a more ambitious approach. During an appearance on 93.7 The Fan, Mike Florio discussed the Steelers’…
Some may continue to argue that the Kansas City Chiefs have benefited from favorable officiating, particularly following the AFC Championship Game. On Sunday, the Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills 32-29, earning their fifth Super Bowl appearance in six years. However, two controversial calls may have shifted the momentum in Kansas City’s favor. Late in the second quarter, facing a 3rd-and-5 at Buffalo’s 29-yard line, officials ruled that Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy and Bills safety Cole Bishop had simultaneous possession of a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. By rule, the offense retains the ball in such cases. After a…
The New England Patriots have bolstered their coaching staff with another key addition ahead of the upcoming season. Multiple reports confirm that former NFL head coach Doug Marrone is joining the Patriots. Marrone has seven years of head coaching experience in the NFL, leading the Buffalo Bills from 2013 to 2014 and the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2016 to 2020. Most recently, he served as the offensive line coordinator for the New Orleans Saints since 2023 and held the same position at Alabama in 2021. While Marrone’s specific role with the Patriots has not been disclosed, his extensive experience with offensive…
The Pittsburgh Steelers have enjoyed tremendous success throughout their history, highlighted by one of the NFL’s most iconic dynasties in the 1970s, when they captured four Super Bowl titles. The team later added two more championships in the 2000s, led by a dominant defense, with James Harrison playing a pivotal role. While fans may remember Harrison’s unforgettable touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII, his physicality and relentless playing style left a lasting impact beyond the stat sheet. Harrison is widely regarded as one of the hardest hitters in NFL history. His style of play in the late 2000s contributed to the…
The Pittsburgh Steelers recently wrapped up another disappointing season. At one point, the team was 10-3, firmly leading the AFC North and in contention for the AFC’s top seed. However, they closed the regular season with four consecutive losses and were eliminated in the Wild Card Round by the Baltimore Ravens. Since then, all levels of coaching have faced significant criticism, though no major changes appear likely for the 2025 offseason. While the Steelers’ offense showed improvement in 2024 compared to recent years, it still seemed outdated compared to the rest of the league. This could partly be attributed to…
