Broncos Eye Breece Hall If He Reaches Free Agency

Jets plan to franchise or transition tag Breece Hall if they cannot reach an extension, but Hall would draw serious interest from the Broncos if he becomes a free agent, aided by a preexisting connection with Broncos running backs coach Lou Ayeni and his 1,350+ yards from scrimmage in each of the last three seasons. A tag or potential trade could complicate Denver's pursuit, and if Hall is unavailable, Denver could pivot to other backs such as Kenneth Walker, Travis Etienne, or Tyler Allgeier.

Daniel Jeremiah's pre-combine takeaways: Jets should chase veterans, Bears stay patient

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah shared seven takeaways ahead of the 2026 Scouting Combine: the Jets should explore veteran QBs via trades (e.g., Tanner McKee, Davis Mills) instead of drafting at No. 2 and should stack trench value to maximize picks for next year; Ty Simpson has the most to gain among QBs and could go early despite injury questions; Bills need a bigger, more physical WR and may find value on Day 2 with players like Chris Bell; Bears appear set to sit and let the draft fall to them at No. 25, with edge rusher and offensive tackle options likely; Broncos could eye Jadarian Price as a potential first-round back to pair with RJ Harvey; Patriots should target defensive value, especially on the edge, while wide receivers can come later; and Dillon Thieneman’s stock could surge after the combine.

Jets tap Brian Duker to revitalize defense

One day after interviewing Brian Duker, the New York Jets hired the 36-year-old as their defensive coordinator. Duker, most recently the Dolphins’ passing game coordinator/secondary coach, previously worked with Jets coach Aaron Glenn on the Lions’ staff. He won’t call plays, as Glenn plans to handle defensive play-calling, and he replaces Steve Wilks, who was fired after a 3-11 season. The move comes amid a broader coaching-staff shake-up that also saw offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand let go, as New York seeks to turn around a leaky defense.

Jets part ways with one-year OC Engstrand after disappointing season

The New York Jets split with Tanner Engstrand after one season as offensive coordinator under Aaron Glenn, following a 3-14 campaign in 2025 that saw the team finish 29th in points per game despite a 10th-place finish in total rushing yards. Engstrand’s ties to the Lions and Bears, plus past work under Jim Harbaugh, suggest he could quickly land elsewhere, potentially returning to Detroit or joining another staff such as the Chargers.

Fresh Start on the Sidelines: Jets Face Coaching-Staff Shakeup Under Glenn

A year into Aaron Glenn’s tenure, the Jets are amid a coaching-staff upheaval: after firing defensive coordinator Steve Wilks late last season, Glenn is weighing whether to call defensive plays himself, Engstrand has departed, a new DC is being sought (with candidates like Wink Martindale and Chris Harris discussed), and Rooney Rule interviews for minority candidates are forcing a broader restart—a stark contrast to the earlier plan as the team tries to recover from a brutal 0-7 start and 0-5 finish.
