Jags expected to announce Tom Coughlin as their new VP and Doug Marrone to become their official new head coach.

Raiders expected to fire offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave and promote QB coach Todd Downing as their new OC. Main reason appears to be due to Musgrave not willing to go more heavy in rushing attack when the team started to struggle on the offense after Carr got hurt.

Vance Joseph is the new Broncos head coach.

Jumped in here to see if anyone cared that the Chargers were moving and got to read thru Fan hammering Droford about the Ravens lol.
I see Droford is just as blind a homer here as he is in the mlb thread |
I don't like the Chargers moving to LA but I completely understand. If San Diego doesn't want to build a stadium then it their loss. At least the Raiders won't be in LA now. Hopefully they can get a stadium built in Oakland although I do like the sound of Las Vegas Raiders.

I'm not a huge football guy. I know that they've been trying the last number of years to get a downtown deal done, and even went as far as trying to add on a waterfront property as part of an extension of the convention center to benefit comic con.
Little did I know they've been on a year to year lease for 16 years. That's ridiculous. Especially when the NFL has made it clear they would bring the Super Bowl here regularly should a new stadium be built. The biggest clash was ownership wanted downtown and public officials wanted to rebuild on the current property. It sucks since I am a casual charger fan but looking at it objectively it's the city's fault and more so the publicly appointed officials for consistently not budging and calling ownership's bluff. Now they have egg of their face. But of course fans are blaming ownership. There's also this silly claim that the Chargers won't have a fan base in LA. Even though up to a 3rd of their season ticket holders reside in the Orange county area. No reason to think they won't maintain that part of the fan base moving forward. |

Chargers biggest break was Raiders deciding they'd rather be in Vegas than LA for relocation. Was rumored a bit the Chargers might have considered moving to Oakland if the LA option was closed. |
I'm guessing this means Philip Rivers will announce his retirement in the near future.

Rams hired Sean McVay as their new head coach and new NFL record for youngest head coach ever.

I've heard they need to rebuild starting at quarterback anyways. |
Besides hiring a new head coach, Rams also hired Wade Phillips to be their new defensive coordinator today.

Good. Didn't want him to go to Washington.
|
Damn. There goes that Broncos defense.
|
Why did he leave Denver to go to the Rams for the same job?
|
Money I guess? Though I can't imagine why Denver wouldn't break the bank to keep him.

Yep. Bad enough that we let Mike McCoy crawl back to us to be the new OC. Unless we grab a genius like Dick Lebeau or Mike Nolan to run the defense, that mile way wall is getting knocked down to a white picket fence. |

Pats keeping Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator for next season. Was supposedly a big candidate for a head coaching job next season but only the 49ers job remained left and he didn't want it.
|
Broncos promote Joe Woods to defensive coordinator.
Pfft. |
49ers rumored to be naming Kyle Shanahan as their new head coach but can't officially hire him till after the Falcons season ends. Only other real option was Seattle's Tom Cable but Cable rejected the offer and wanted to stay in Seattle.
NFL currently rumored to be fining the Seahawks a draft pick due to the team failing to properly report injuries on the team. Quote:

Pats might not be the most despised team in the NFL anymore based on a recent report about the NFL being livid the Chargers decided to move to LA.
Turns out the NFL never actually wanted 2 teams to be in LA this quickly even though it was implied they did during the talks involving the Rams, Raiders, and Chargers. Might have been a huge reason why the Chargers/Raiders shared stadium never had strong support with the owners as an option. Also gave them the most money to stay out of the 3 teams even though it wasn't close to bridging the gap of money needed. Rams struggling in their first season in LA in terms of support was a huge reason why things quickly went sour for the league. Quote:

Steelers might be getting in trouble with the NFL due to the league thinking they didn't properly disclose Le'Veon Bell health status for the AFC title game. Basis seems to involve Bell revealing he's been dealing with a groin injury for weeks while Steelers coach Tomlin put him as a healthy scratch for several practices.

Casino mogul who is the main reason why the Raiders are moving to Vegas recently pulled out of the deal he had with the team.
Apparently its due to recent terms the Raiders proposed for the stadium which would have meant less power and money for Sheldon Adelson. Raiders now need to come up with an extra $650 million in order to honor their side of the stadium deal made with the city. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...move-las-vegas |
No way Raiders are gonna pick up Adelson's end. Don't think they got the cash.
Mark Davis ought to call Wynn or MGM and make a pitch. One of 'em is bound to bite. |
lol

Another big investor recently pulled out of the Raiders' Vegas deal with this time being Goldman Sachs bank. Now the Raiders owe even more money on the new stadium unless they can find a new rich investor or group soon.
The bank was meant to be a backup plan in case the stuff with Adelson fell apart but since they have very close financial ties with Adelson, they decided to leave the Raiders than risk future business with Adelson. Quote:

Deal's pretty much dead now.
Might as well withdraw the relocation paperwork at this point. |
Will the fans even accept them back after this?
|
Current trade rumors regarding Tony Romo tease at Bills and Chiefs being the teams likely to get a deal done for him.
Meanwhile Browns are interested in a potential trade to get get Pats Jimmy Garoppolo. |
Ladies and gentlemen my Patriots are once again super bowl champions
