Seahawks To Hire Brian Fleury As OC

By | at February 15, 2026 10:50 pm

The Seahawks considered a number of internal candidates to fill the offensive coordinator position. Instead, they will go outside the organization to replace Klint Kubiak.

Seattle is hiring Brian Fleury to handle OC duties, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Fleury has been in place with the 49ers since 2019, but he will now move within the NFC West. This will be his first offensive coordinator opportunity.

The Seahawks seemed to be in position to promote an in-house staffer to the role of OC this offseason. Indeed, four candidates from within the organization recently conducted an interview. A small number of coaches from outside Seattle were mentioned as names to watch as the team’s search unfolded. One of those was Fleury, who met with the Seahawks yesterday. Things clearly went well, and an agreement has now been reached.

Fleury has been coaching since 2005, and he worked in a number of capacities during his college career. Stints as a defensive and special teams coordinator preceded Fleury’s rise to the ranks of NFL staffs. The former undrafted free agent quarterback had brief tenures with the Bills and Browns prior to arriving in San Francisco.

After one season working on the defensive side of the ball, Fleury became an offensive quality control coach for the 49ers. That was followed by a four-year run as the team’s tight ends coach. In 2025, the title of run-game coordinator was added, an indication of Fleury’s importance to Kyle Shanahan‘s staff. The 49ers will now need to seek out a replacement late in the 2026 hiring cycle.

For the Seahawks, meanwhile, the status of their internal OC candidates will be worth watching closely. Quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko was among the coaches who loomed as a promotion candidate, but he has been heavily linked to the Raiders since Kubiak’s departure. At this point, a Janocko move to Vegas to fill that team’s OC position is expected.

Seattle enjoyed a stellar showing on defense en route to winning the Super Bowl this season. The team’s offense played a notable role as well, with quarterback Sam Darnold thriving on his new team and wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba taking home Offensive Player of the Year honors. Needless to say, expectations will be very high for Fleury during his first year as an NFL coordinator. He will be tasked with handling play-calling duties in 2026.

Via PFR’s Coordinator Search Tracker, here is a final look at how Seattle’s process played out:

2026 NFL Offensive/Defensive Coordinator Search Tracker

By | at February 15, 2026 10:15 pm

The 2026 head coaching carousel has now seen 10 jobs open since the start of the offseason, as the Bills have fired Sean McDermott. HC firings generally lead to coordinator changes, and several other teams have proceeded with OC or DC moves to start their offseasons. Here are the current OC and DC searches transpiring. As the remaining HC searches conclude, more coordinator searches will be added to this list.

AFC West Updates: Paton, Bolts, Chiefs

By | at February 15, 2026 10:03 pm

In an appearance on the Altitude Sports Radio show in Denver, ESPN’s Adam Schefter answered a question pertaining to the possibility of Broncos general manager George Paton potentially leaving the team. As the hosts of the show posed the situation, the Vikings are currently looking to fill their open GM role, and Paton is in the final year of his contract with Denver. Paton spent 14 years working his way through Minnesota’s front office and landed the Broncos general manager position after serving five years as director of player personnel for the Vikings.

Despite the obvious connection, Schefter did his best to assuage his hosts’ concerns. While conceding that he had heard the name mentioned in relation to the job in Minnesota, he relayed that he hadn’t gotten any indication that Paton would leave right now. While Paton could leave one day, Schefter didn’t get the impression he was looking to go anywhere at the moment and “is pretty content” with a team that “is intent on keeping him in Denver.”

On the coaching side of things, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported yesterday that USC defensive backs coach Doug Belk is expected to be taking the same role in Denver for 2026. Last year’s defensive pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard and cornerbacks coach Addison Lynch have both departed for new roles in Buffalo and New York, respectively, so the Broncos will now turn to Belk to coach up their elite secondary.

Here are a few other staff updates from around the AFC West:

  • After seeing linebackers coach NaVorro Bowman depart to spend more time with his family, the Chargers have turned to another former NFL linebacker to fill the role. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Los Angeles is hiring former Steelers linebacker Sean Spence to the role of inside linebackers coach. Initially a promising third-round pick out of Miami (FL), Spence’s playing career was derailed early by injuries, but he eventually turned to coaching. Spence has spent the last three years at Western Michigan as a special teams analyst (2023), linebackers coach (2024), and edges coach (2025). If the team re-signs pending free agent veteran Denzel Perryman, Spence would be coaching his former Hurricanes teammate.
  • Schultz also reports that the Chargers are hiring Denzel Martin as an assistant outside linebackers coach. Martin spent the last six years working with outside linebackers for the Steelers, getting named OLB coach in 2023. He’ll now bring his experience working with the likes of T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, and Co. to Los Angeles.
  • Lastly, according to Zenitz, the Chiefs are bringing back Terry Bradden in the role of assistant defensive line coach. Bradden had worked for eight years as a defensive assistant in Kansas City before taking a job as defensive line coach at Nebraska last year. He’ll now return to the Chiefs with an upgraded title.

Giants Finalize Coaching Staff Under Harbaugh

By | at February 15, 2026 9:16 pm

Teams around the NFL have been announcing their finalized coaching staffs for the 2026 football season, and the Giants joined the fray on Friday. We had already reported on several of the changes to new head coach John Harbaugh‘s staff, but there were a few new updates to be gleaned from the team’s announcement.

First, before the team’s announcement, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported that former Titans linebackers coach Frank Bush would be joining the Giants as their new inside linebackers coach. Bush is very familiar with new Giants defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. Bush served as Wilson’s linebackers coach for the past two years in Tennessee. Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, he also serves double duty as a mentor to Wilson.

Also, while Friday’s announcement was technically finalizing the team’s coaching staff, they will already be potentially looking to replace an assistant position coach. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, recently named assistant defensive line coach Matt Robinson will be heading to Las Vegas to join new Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Leonard‘s staff.

Formerly, the Ravens outside linebackers coach, Robinson initially followed Harbaugh from Baltimore but will now join the Raiders as their new secondary coach. He will be reuniting with Leonard now, who worked alongside Robinson as outside linebackers coach for a year in Baltimore. Per Schefter, the Giants gave their permission for Robinson to leave and supported him in doing so.

The only other update concerning a position coach has to do with Willie Taggart. When it was first announced that he was joining New York’s staff, it was unclear what role the former Ravens running backs coach would hold as he was still a potential candidate to be offensive coordinator for the Giants. Ultimately, he will retain the title he had held in Baltimore with his new team.

The offense and defense both saw additions of assistant roles in the announcement. On offense, Noah Riley was named football analyst/quality control and Adam Schrack and Mike Snyder were both named offensive quality control. On defense, Brendan Clark was named defensive quality control. Riley, Schrack, and Clark all come over from Baltimore, where they most recently filled roles as defensive football analyst, offensive quality control, and defensive quality control, respectively. Snyder was most recently an offensive assistant for two years with the Texans and has experience with the Falcons and Bears, as well.

Lastly, the announcement showed the addition of T.J. Weist as assistant special teams coach and Megan Rosburg as assistant to the head coach/defensive assistant. Weist most recently spent five years assisting the Ravens with special teams but wasn’t retained with the team after the 2023 season. Rosburg, the daughter of former longtime Ravens special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg, will carry over a role similar to the one she held for the last four years in Baltimore.

Browns Close To Hiring D-Coordinator

By | at February 15, 2026 6:28 pm

6:28pm: Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com named three finalists for the defensive coordinator job in Cleveland today. Per Cabot, the two external candidates are both still in consideration, but of the two internal options, Banda will not be considered moving forward. In the next day or two, the Browns will be choosing between Undlin, Tarver, and Rutenberg for their defensive coordinator position.

11:52am: Nine days since Jim Schwartz resigned as their defensive coordinator, the Browns are getting closer to naming his replacement. Head coach Todd Monken‘s decision could come “within the next day or two,” Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.

Monken has spent this weekend conducting in-person interviews with candidates, according to Cabot. Two finalists, Texans defensive pass-game coordinator Cory Undlin and Falcons PGC Mike Rutenberg, have met with Monken.

Browns linebackers coach Jason Tarver and safeties coach Ephraim Banda are also still in contention. Thanks in part to his defensive coordinator experience with the Raiders from 2012-14, Tarver is the “stronger internal candidate” than Banda, Cabot writes.

Banda was the co-defensive coordinator at Miami from 2019-20 and the DC at Utah State between 2021-22, but he has spent all three of his NFL seasons coaching safeties. If professional coordinator experience is preferred, Banda and Rutenberg may fall behind Undlin (the Lions’ DC in 2020) and Tarver in the pecking order.

Rutenberg has combined for 15 years in the league with Washington, Jacksonville, San Francisco, the Jets and Atlanta, but the longtime Robert Saleh colleague has never run a defense. He has also never been on the same staff as Schwartz. Considering Monken intends to keep Schwartz’s system in place, that may be important.

With Schwartz then the Eagles’ DC, Undlin spent four years under him (2016-19) as their defensive backs coach. They won a Super Bowl together in 2017. In addition to his experience with Schwartz, Undlin has also worked with Monken. The two overlapped as Jaguars assistants from 2009-10.

Tarver and Banda helped Schwartz’s defense finish 2025 fourth in scoring and 14th in yards. With a record 23 sacks, Myles Garrett steamrolled his way to Defensive Player of the Year honors. Linebacker Carson Schwesinger, Tarver’s pupil, was a tackling machine (156) who chipped in 2.5 sacks and two interceptions. That was enough for the second-rounder from UCLA to collect the Defensive Rookie of the Year Award.

The Browns have a lot of problems to fix on the offensive side of the ball, but Garrett and Schwesinger help make their DC job an attractive one. With the Browns in the final stages of their search, here’s a refresher on the other names they’ve considered:

Raiders To Conduct OC Interview With Andrew Janocko

By | at February 15, 2026 4:08 pm

Once the Raiders hired Klint Kubiak as their new head coach, attention turned to the possibility of other Seahawks staffers following him to Seattle. Andrew Janocko is among them.

Not long after Kubiak’s hire, Janocko was identified as the favorite for Vegas’ offensive coordinator position. As Kubiak and the Raiders evaluate their OC options, Janocko will – to no surprise – receive a look. An interview has been arranged for today in Vegas, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

Janocko and Kubiak worked together in Minnesota and New Orleans prior to their joint Seattle stint during the 2025 season. A hire on this front would certainly not come as a shock as a result. Of course, the potential for an OC position with the Seahawks loomed as well in this case. With that having changed earlier this afternoon, though, a hire with the Raiders would be expected by many. Per Schefter, Janocko is indeed now in line to be hired as Vegas’ OC.

The Seahawks were thought to prefer an internal promotion to fill the OC vacancy. Janocko was one of four in-house staffers who interviewed for the position recently, and he presumably remained in the running until today. Seattle also spoke with Jake Peetz, Justin Outten and Mack Brown as internal candidates before reaching an agreement with Brian Fleury.

The Raiders’ approach on offense will be a major storyline around the league. Improvements in many areas will be needed as the team seeks to rebound from a 3-14 campaign in 2025. That is widely presumed to include the addition of quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick in April’s draft. Kubiak himself will obviously be a central figure in Vegas’ efforts to take needed steps forward on offense, but his OC hire will be critical as well. Particularly if a familiar face in the form of Janocko is brought in, expectations could be raised in relatively short order.

Kubiak has been busy on several fronts within the first few days of his initial head coaching opportunity. The Raiders already have their DC (Rob Leonard) and special teams coordinator (Joe DeCamillis) in place. Bringing in Janocko would/will fill another notable vacancy on the sidelines.

5 Key Stories: 2/8/26 – 2/15/26

By | at February 15, 2026 3:17 pm

Today marks the first Sunday of the NFL offseason. The coming months will see plenty of notable changes, though, and recent days have also produced a number of headlines. Here is a quick recap of the past week:

  • Raiders Hire Kubiak, Promote Leonard: As Klint Kubiak oversaw Seattle’s offense during the Super Bowl, it was widely known he would be departing for a head coaching gig. Indeed, the one-year Seahawks offensive coordinator was officially hired as the new head coach of the Raiders shortly after the big game. Kubiak’s stock has risen in recent years, but the 38-year-old has never been a head coach at any level. He will play a leading role in leading Vegas’ rebuild, one which will no doubt soon include the selection of quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick of the draft. Kubiak has elected to promote from within by tapping Rob Leonard as defensive coordinator; meanwhile, veteran staffer Joe DeCamillis will serve as his special teams coordinator.
  • Carr Contemplating Comeback: Last spring, Derek Carr ended his Saints tenure by announcing his retirement. His injured throwing shoulder left an in-season return unfeasible, but things could be different now. Carr’s shoulder has healed, and he is open to resuming his career under the right circumstances. The four-time Pro Bowler is, to no surprise, interested in joining a Super Bowl-caliber team and will thus be picky when considering his options. Carr, 34, is a veteran of 11 seasons and 169 starts in the NFL. During an offseason where demand will again outweigh supply at the QB spot, Carr could be seen as a viable free agent option for at least some suitors.
  • Rams’ Havenstein Retires: Throughout his 11 years with the Rams, Rob Havenstein operated as the team’s starting right tackle. That streak will not continue into 2026, however, with the veteran announcing his retirement. Injuries were present through much of Havenstein’s NFL tenure (which included time in St. Louis and Los Angeles), and he was limited to just seven games in 2025. Instead of testing the open market this spring, the 33-year-old will turn his attention to his post-playing days. The Rams will need to find a replacement starter at the right tackle spot, and the team will of course hope for a sustained run of play at the level Havenstein provided.
  • Taylor Promoted To Bears OC: The Bears saw Declan Doyle depart to join the Ravens as their new offensive coordinator as part of this year’s hiring cycle. That left Chicago in need of a new OC for head coach Ben Johnson‘s second season at the helm. Instead of going outside the organization, the Bears have promoted Press Taylor to the offensive coordinator role. Zac Taylor‘s brother has OC experience at the NFL level, having held that title for three seasons during his tenure in Jacksonville. Taylor will not call plays, as Johnson will retain those responsibilities for 2026. Nevertheless, he will occupy a key role as the Bears aim to duplicate their 2025 success.
  • Seahawks Could Produce Record-Breaking Sale: The Seahawks continue to celebrate their Super Bowl victory, but this offseason could prove to be busy on a number of fronts. One of those could be a sale of the franchise, and that process is expected to begin shortly. Once Jody Allen has completed the process of lining up a buyer, a new record in terms of valuation is expected. The Seahawks could generate a price tag between $9 and $11 billion, something which would shatter the record regarding the sale of a North American sports franchise. The Commanders sold for just over $6 billion in 2023, but the ongoing surge in values for NFL teams could easily see that figure eclipsed. The league is looking to get the sales process underway shortly, and next month’s league meetings could see further developments emerge.

WR Kendrick Bourne Wants To Re-Sign With 49ers

By | at February 15, 2026 1:43 pm

Kendrick Bourne returned to the 49ers in 2025. The veteran wideout is set to reach the open market next month, but his preference would be to continue his second San Francisco stint.

“The year went great,” Bourne said when reflecting on his situation (video link). “Hitting free agency this year, it’s gonna be fun. I want to go back to San Fran, so that’s the plan, but it’s all got to make sense.”

After spending his first four seasons with the 49ers, Bourne wound up signing a pair of three-year contracts with the Patriots. His deal was terminated during 2025 roster cuts, however, which resulted in a brief free agency period. The 30-year-old returned to the 49ers on a one-year pact; that decision allowed him to operate as a regular presence on offense.

Bourne totaled 551 yards in 2025, recording the second-highest yards per reception average (14.9) of his career. The former UDFA did not score a touchdown, but he did enough to trigger a $500K incentive in his contract. With plenty of questions yet to be answered at the receiver spot, it would not come as a surprise if San Francisco opted for another short-term contract in this case.

During the season, Bourne was named as a likelier wideout than Jauan Jennings to be retained for 2026. Jennings is also a pending free agent, while it has been clear for quite some time Brandon Aiyuk has played his last snap for the 49ers. San Francisco’s WR depth chart also includes the likes of Ricky Pearsall, Demarcus Robinson and Jacob Cowing as things stand.

Additions could be made, and the 49ers are currently 10th in the NFL in projected cap space. That represents an unusual amount of financial flexibility for the team. Keeping Bourne in the fold would likely not require much more than a duplicate of the one-year pact he signed in the fall which contained a maximum value of $5MM. It will be interesting to see if the team reciprocates Bourne’s desire to work out another new deal.

Chargers Not Expected To Place Franchise Tag On Odafe Oweh

By | at February 15, 2026 12:56 pm

A Raven for the opening four-plus seasons of his career, former first-round edge rusher Odafe Oweh recorded a career-high 10 sacks in 2024. However, five games into 2025, Oweh had yet to register a sack. With the Ravens off to a 1-4 start, they traded Oweh and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Chargers for safety Alohi Gilman and a 2026 fifth-rounder.

The change-of-scenery swap worked out for both players, especially Oweh. In 12 games with the Chargers, Oweh recorded 7.5 sacks, 13 quarterback hits and 39 pressures. While Oweh impressed in the regular season after the trade, he saved his best for the playoffs. Oweh sacked Patriots quarterback Drake Maye three times and forced two fumbles in the wild-card round, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Chargers’ inept offensive performance in a 16-3 loss.

With Oweh scheduled to become a free agent in less than a month, his masterful showing against the Patriots may go down as his last game with the Chargers. The former Penn State Nittany Lion’s body of work in the pros, especially over the past two seasons, should lead to a sizable contract with the Chargers or another team in the coming weeks.

If the Chargers aren’t nearing a multiyear deal with Oweh, they’ll have the option of applying the franchise tag between Feb. 17 and March 3. That would cost around $27MM.

Although the Chargers have a projected $83MM in spending room (via OverTheCap), they’re not expected to use the franchise designation on Oweh. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, “sources would be surprised” to see the Chargers tag the 27-year-old.

Along with Oweh, teammate and fellow pass-rushing standout Khalil Mack is also a pending free agent. Both players will be in demand if they make it to free agency, which is hardly a shock. As things stand, Oweh and Mack are slated to join the Bengals’ Trey Hendrickson, the Eagles’ Jaelan Phillips and the Colts’ Kwity Paye as top-of-the-market edge rushers. It would be eye-opening if the Chargers allowed both Oweh and Mack to walk out the door, though.

Mack could have explored his options around the league last offseason, but he instead stuck with the Chargers on a one-year, $18MM deal. Set to turn 35 on Feb. 22, Mack will probably reel in another high-paying, short-term contract this offseason. That’s assuming the nine-time Pro Bowler returns for a 13th season in 2026, which isn’t a given. As of mid-January, Mack was undecided on retirement. Meanwhile, with the tag unlikely in play, Oweh’s in prime position to secure a lucrative, multiyear pact.

Giants HC John Harbaugh, Rex Ryan Discussed Defensive Coordinator Job

By | at February 15, 2026 10:27 am

When new Giants head coach John Harbaugh was assembling his staff in late January, he didn’t dismiss the possibility of hiring Rex Ryan as his defensive coordinator. That didn’t occur, but Harbaugh confirmed he discussed the position with Ryan.

“I talked to Rex about that job at length,” Harbaugh told Ian O’Connor of The Athletic. “Rex is a guy I love and have a lot of respect for.”

Harbaugh wound up passing on Ryan and other D-coordinator candidates in favor of Dennard Wilson, who ran the Titans’ defense from 2024-25. He chose Wilson after receiving a recommendation from rookie Ravens head coach Jesse Minter, O’Connor reports.

Now the successor to Harbaugh in Baltimore, Minter worked for him as a Ravens assistant from 2017-20. Like Minter, Ryan was also on Harbaugh’s staff at one point. In 2008, Harbaugh’s first year as a head coach, Ryan was in his fourth and final season as the Ravens’ defensive coordinator. He left to become the Jets’ head coach the next year.

In Ryan’s first two seasons in charge, his ferocious defenses overcame Mark Sanchez‘s poor quarterback play to lead the Jets to back-to-back AFC title game appearances. However, the franchise has suffered through a league-worst 15-year playoff drought since then. From 2011-14, the first four years of the Jets’ skid, they mustered an ugly 26-38 mark. That led to Ryan’s ouster, but he immediately resurfaced as the Bills’ head coach in 2015.

While Ryan at least experienced some success with the Jets, his tenure in Buffalo was fruitless and fleeting. After winning 15 of 31 games, the Bills pulled the plug on Ryan with a week left in the 2016 season.

Now a 63-year-old ESPN analyst, Ryan hasn’t coached anywhere since the Bills fired him. The possibility of Ryan returning to New York as the Giants’ DC will go down as an interesting what-if, but Harbaugh will roll with Wilson instead.
