The Cowboys begin the offseason with WR George Pickens and RB Javonte Williams as prominent impending free agents. It seems pretty clear -- and makes sense -- that Dallas would like to retain Pickens. The plan for Williams looks less clear, however.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid confirmed Thursday that the torn PCL he dealt with throughout this season dated back to 2024, according to ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg.

Bills QB Josh Allen underwent surgery earlier this week to repair a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot, he said Thursday. GM Brandon Beane said earlier this month that Allen might need a procedure on the foot that he injured in the Week 16 win over the Browns. Allen explained Thursday that it was an older injury that was re-aggravated against Cleveland. He downplayed the issue, calling it "a little painful" but not a major surgery. "I'm not even lying — if we had to play a game this week, I would find a way to play," he added. A more realistic Ian Rapoport hears that Allen is expected to be sidelined for 8-10 weeks. We'll track his rehab this offseason but aren't expecting this to impact Allen's 2026 campaign. He's started 127 straight regular-season games (and 140 straight, including playoffs).

Former Ravens OC Todd Monken was hired as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Monken has been with the Ravens since 2023, serving as the team’s offensive coordinator under QB Lamar Jackson. He was also a member of the Browns’ staff in 2019, working as offensive coordinator under HC Freddie Kitchens.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker has “more or less solidified himself as the team’s No. 2 WR,” per reporter Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. You probably remember Coker’s huge playoff game against the Rams: 9 catches, 134 yards, and 1 score on a 23% target share. Going back to Week 10, he ran a clear second among Carolina WRs in route rate, registering an 84% mark. The 24-year-old is now an exclusive rights free agent, but there’s no chance of him getting out of Carolina.

The Broncos have fired OC Joe Lombardi, NFL Network reports. Lombardi spent the past three seasons leading Denver's offense under HC Sean Payton and also spent 12 seasons under Payton in New Orleans. Denver's offense has been just fine under the Payton-Lombardi battery, ranking between 10th and 19th in points all three years. The Broncos did climb in total yards each season, from 26th to 19th to 10th. We'll see who's tabbed to replace Lombardi, but we wouldn't expect sweeping changes to the offense with Payton remaining at the helm.

Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said at his introductory press conference that he'd "definitely" like to see QB Aaron Rodgers back for 2026. McCarthy took over the Packers' head job in 2006, Rodgers' second NFL season. The pair spent the next 13 years together, encompassing five of Rodgers' six best fantasy seasons. Rodgers was serviceable for Pittsburgh this past year, completing 65.7% of his passes at 6.7 yards per attempt. He ranked 21st among 36 qualifying QBs in Pro Football Focus passing grade. Rodgers is a net neutral at best at this point of his career, but he might be the best the Steelers can do at QB for 2026. Daniel Jones and Malik Willis lead the free-agent QB class, and the draft crop looks weak.

The Jets have fired OC Tanner Engstrand, according to multiple reports. It's a late move for the Jets, whose season ended almost a month ago. "[HC] Aaron Glenn and Engstrand had multiple conversations about his role moving forward. Simply, they decided to move forward separately," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said. New York ranked 29th in both points and total yards in 2025, although it's tough to pin too much blame on Engstrand considering the state of the roster. The new OC will inherit an offense with a big question mark at QB, a potentially Breece Hall-less backfield, and nothing at WR behind Garrett Wilson.

Former Giants HC Brian Daboll is set to become the offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Daboll found success as the Bills’ OC from 2018 to 2021 before joining the Giants. His development of Josh Allen made him an ideal OC hire. He will coach second-year QB Cam Ward and attempt to develop him into a franchise quarterback.
