Patriots executive vice president for football business Robyn Glaser is stepping down Mike Reiss has reported. Director of skill development Joe Kim is also stepping down per Reiss. Kim worked closely with pash rushers and young coaches over the past seven years in New England.

There was a lot of talk of Glaser's promotion last year after Belichick left as she was considered right up there with Robert & Jonathan Kraft in terms of decision making.

ESPN's Rich Cimini shares that there has been a lot of buzz around three potential GM names - Mike Greenberg (assistant Bucs GM), Jon-Eric Sullivan (Packers VP of player personnel), and Alec Halaby (assistant Eagles GM) for the Jets GM position.

Cincinnati has hired Scott Peters to be the OL coach.

He previously served as the Patriots OL coach and most importantly as to why they hired him, he worked for years as a top assistant under Bill Callahan.

John Fassel is joining the staff as the new special teams coordinator, per Tom Pelissero. Fassel spent the last several seasons with Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys.

After one season as the Patriots offensive line coach, Scott Peters has been tabbed as the new offensive line coach for the Bengals. Joining him from the Patriots is Michael McCarthy as assistant offensive line coach

as I said earlier regarding this news, this is a classic example of football nepotism. While he certainly has the bonafides deserving of the position, it’s also essentially going back to the well of what you’ve done in that position the past few years.

Since Al Golden is almost assuredly taking the DC position with Cincy as well, that’s another example of the approach this franchise keeps making, staying in the same bubble as Golden was previously on the staff before going to ND.

It’s a half in half out approach to hiring and since you’ve had to replace multiple people already using that system, maybe the system needs a complete overhaul.

Another reunion in New England as they will bring Josh McDaniels back for another run as OC.
Pretty sure the entirety of the New England region had a countdown clock the second he was fired in Las Vegas.

It makes sense because he’s an established coordinator who has been excellent against top QBs like Mahomes. This year his lack of success was largely attributed to the lack of depth on the defense and the exodus of talent he pushed the organization to keep but was rebuffed because Mike Brown does Mike Brown.

He took over a mediocre defense and it was his defense that carried them to the Super Bowl that post season. It was a perfectly wise hire for the Colts.

The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt reports “barring anything unexpected” the Jets will hire Lions DC Aaron Glenn as their new head coach.

Liam Coen has rejected an head coach opportunity from Jacksonville and will remain in Tampa as their OC with a new contract.

The word is that to the surprise of absolutely nobody, the reason top candidates continue to reject the privilege of being a part of the Jaguars organization is the insistence of Trent Baalke having a job.

He hasn’t been a part of a franchise with double digit wins since 2013 and yet, continues to remain employed.

It’s operational incompetence for the Jaguars to keep him employed and yet, they do.

Raiders will be selecting John Spytek to be the new GM. He previously served as the Bucs assistant GM.

Should be pointed out, he has connections with Tom Brady who assuredly had a key hand in that decision.

What they should have known weeks ago, if not years ago, the Jaguars have finally came to their senses after losing yet another viable candidate for their head coach position, Jacksonville finally told Baalke he’s finished.

The worst keep secret has finally been finalized; Al Golden is leaving his duty as DC of Notre Dame to take the same position with the Bengals. Aside from satisfying the Rooney rule obligations, Bengals interviewed no other candidates and had their intentions clear for weeks that they wanted to bring Golden back to the organization

Patriots are hiring Terrell Lewis from Detroit (he was their DL Coach) to be their DC. He was AHC with Vrabel in Tennessee in Vrabel's final season there. They are also hiring Tony Dews, another former Titans assistant, as RB Coach.

Dallas keep doing Dallas things and will be promoting Brian Schottenheimer to be the newest lap dog for Jerry Jones.
