  Broncos | Mike Munchak not expected back in Denver    Tue Feb 1, 02:03 PM

Denver Broncos offensive line coach Mike Munchak is ‘unlikely to return’ in his current post following the hiring of Nathaniel Hackett as the team’s head coach. Hackett is reportedly looking at other offensive line coaches with more experience in his system, while Munchak has ‘opportunities elsewhere,’ according to sources.

Footballguys view: Munchak was up for the head coaching job in Denver a few years ago, but the team went with Vic Fangio instead. He came to Denver as an OL coach because he’s got family in the Mile High City, and now he’s likely to move on. Munchak turned Garett Bolles into a Pro Bowl caliber left tackle and worked well with guys like Dalton Risner and Quinn Meinerz. The Hall of Famer will have no problem finding interested teams.

  Bills | Ken Dorsey tabbed to run Buffalo’s offense    Tue Feb 1, 01:10 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Ken Dorsey was named as the team’s offensive coordinator Tuesday, Feb. 1.

Footballguys view: The move makes sense, and things should continue to look good for the Bills offense with Dorsey getting a promotion. The former quarterback has done a great job working with QB Josh Allen and will continue to craft a system that is best fit for one of the league’s best.

  Seahawks | Russell Wilson has modest financials    Tue Feb 1, 12:40 PM

Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson would have a $19 million salary cap hit for any team trading for him, which would be 16th among quarterbacks.

Footballguys view: We’ll see if Wilson gets traded or if things have been patched up in Seattle. It’s difficult to tell at this moment where Wilson is going to be in 2022. He’s saying all the right things at this moment, but what else is going to be said? If the team were to pay him the roster bonus due on the fifth day of the league year, that would make him count for $24 million, which would be 12th in the league.

  Jaguars | Rick Spielman interviews with Jaguars    Tue Feb 1, 09:59 AM

Former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman interviewed for a high-level front office position with the Jacksonville Jaguars Monday, Jan. 31.

Footballguys view: Spielman was the Vikings GM since 2012 until he was recently let go by the team in concurrence with HC Mike Zimmer. He’s got an eye for talent and put together good rosters with the Vikings, even though he could never really hit on quarterback. If he doesn’t sign on with the Jaguars, Spielman will get work somewhere else (Broncos?) in a front office.

  Buccaneers | Tom Brady retires    Tue Feb 1, 09:46 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady officially announced his retirement Tuesday, Feb. 1.

Footballguys view: There you have it, the career of the greatest quarterback of all time comes to a close. For 22 years, Brady played at a high level and made it to 10 Super Bowls – winning seven of those championships. Brady finishes his career at no.1 in passing yards (84,520) and passing touchdowns (624) and has established records in this league that are unlikely to be broken. The Buccaneers now begin a rebuilding process without the GOAT at quarterback.

  Ravens | Lamar Jackson to start working out    Mon Jan 31, 06:18 PM

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is feeling good and plans to start working out again in a few weeks, according to head coach John Harbaugh.

Footballguys view: Good news for the Ravens here. The whole team was injury plagued most all of the 2021 season. Jackson, back at full strength, should be back to his top-tier play in 2022. He’s made strides as a passer, and Jackson is still the most dangerous rushing quarterback in the league.

  Raiders | Josh McDaniels officially hired    Mon Jan 31, 06:03 PM

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was officially hired by the Las Vegas Raiders Monday, Jan. 31, as their new head coach.

Footballguys view: McDaniels gets back as a head coach, and once again is a head coach in the AFC West. He was the head coach of the Broncos for less than two years (2009-2010) and eventually went back to the Patriots to run their offense again. McDaniels has learned and matured since then. When he took over the Broncos, McDaniels quickly dealt QB Jay Cutler away. Now, McDaniels looks to build things with QB Derek Carr and has publicly praised the veteran quarterback.
