[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Williams was injured against the Broncos in Week 18. His status for the Wild Card Round is up in the air. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [BAL - ILB Roquan Smith hits big payday](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Baltimore Ravens LB Roquan Smith reportedly agreed to terms on a five-year contract extension worth $100 million - including $45 million guaranteed and $60 million in total guarantees - on Tuesday, Jan. 10. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's a historic deal for Smith as the Ravens go all in on linebacker. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [LAR - OC Liam Coen hired by University Of Kentucky](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Liam Coen was named offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at the University of Kentucky Tuesday, Jan. 10. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Chris Mortensen reported this a month ago, and now the move is official. Coen goes back to the gig he had before he took the job with the Rams. We'll see if Rams' head coach Sean McVay ends up quitting and heading to a TV booth. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported McVay told his coaches he was undecided and is permitting his coaches to search for other jobs without resistance. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CHI - CHI not looking at QB]() Source: The Athletic - Adam Jahns Chicago Bears QB [Justin Fields](=) will be the team's starter next season, according to general manager Ryan Pace. The team, which holds the No. 1 overall draft pick, would have to be blown away to take a quarterback with the selection. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Bears should be considering all options at this time. Fields did flash this year as the starter, and his rushing ability made him a dangerous playmaker. It comes down to whether or not the Bears believe Fields can continue to develop as a passer. With potential star quarterbacks like Bryce Young (Alabama) or C.J. Stroud (Ohio State) available, the Bears are in the driver's seat with that no.1 overall pick.

[IND - Indy interested in Ejiro Evero]() Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero is receiving interest from the Indianapolis Colts regarding their head coaching position, and the Colts have requested permission to interview Evero, according to a source. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Evero made the Broncos defense into one of the best in the league. He is certainly on the radar as a future head coach, but if he doesn't get a promotion with a new team (or the Broncos) there's a chance he could stay as Denver's DC for their new head coach. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [LAR - Sean McVay undecided about 2023](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jeremy Fowler Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay will allow his coaching staff to pursue other jobs without resistance after telling his staff during a meeting Tuesday, Jan. 10, that he does not yet know what he will do next year. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Rams won it all just a year ago, and then their 2022 season was one of the most disappointing follow-up seasons for a champion. McVay may want to start a family and get away from the daily grind of being a football coach. He's bound for the TV booth if/when he's done coaching. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [CAR - QB Mike Kafka sought for CAR interview]() Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero New York Giants offensive coordinator [Mike Kafka](=) has been requested for an interview for the Carolina Panthers' head coaching vacancy. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Giants had a heckuva turnaround in 2022 under the guidance of head coach Brian Daboll. Kafka worked with the offense, and he certainly has garnered attention because of their good play. A former Chiefs QB coach, Kafka has been on the fast track to becoming a head coach since he retired in 2015 from the NFL as a player (quarterback). [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [CHI - Chicago hoping for RB David Montgomery return]() Source: The Athletic - Adam Jahns Chicago Bears RB [David Montgomery](=) is set to become a free agent this offseason, but general manager Ryan Poles expressed interest in bringing him back Tuesday, Jan. 10, and hopes to find 'common ground' on a contract soon. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The 'common ground' the team seeks may be more friendly to them than it is to the veteran running back. Montgomery is a solid starter, but the Bears will use RB Khalil Herbert more going forward. Perhaps Montgomery would like to find a team where he could get more of the workload rather than split the touches with Herbert like he'd have to do again in Chicago.
