The Houston Texans have agreed to hire DeMeco Ryans as their new head coach, according to sources.

Ryans, most recently the defensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers, will receive a six-year contract.

Houston will become the first team in NFL history to hire three straight Black coaches.

The Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints have reached an agreement on compensation for Sean Payton, according to sources.

The Saints will receive the Broncos' 2023 first-round pick (No. 30 overall) and their 2024 second-round pick for Payton and the Saints' 2024 third-round selection, sources said.

The deal clears the way for Payton to become the next coach of the Broncos.

Trevor Lawrence plans to make his voice heard when it comes to what direction the Jacksonville Jaguars take over the course of the offseason.

"There's conversations obviously, that need to be had," Lawrence said. "I think you look at what we did this season, it's about the people that we have, not just the people on the field, not just the players on the field, but the people, too. ... The people they were, the hard work, all the things that people don't see always, there's a lot of things that go into that. You want to keep guys like that that really have set the standard for the organization and have been a part of what you're building here, and I think moving forward, that's one of the things you have to look at in the guys you want to have."

Jacksonville's most prominent free agents this offseason are tight end Evan Engram and right tackle Jawaan Taylor.

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt expressed regret for his reaction that went viral after the team's AFC Championship Game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

As Pratt entered the locker room at Arrowhead Stadium, Pratt was spotted yelling, "Why would you touch the f---ing quarterback?," referencing Joseph Ossai's penalty for unnecessary roughness that preceded the game-winning field goal.

On Monday, Pratt said the way he responded was incorrect.

"I was in the moment," Pratt said. "I was wrong. I would say I was wrong. As a man, you can look yourself in the mirror and say, 'I was wrong.' I wasn't a great teammate in that moment. That doesn't define me as a man."

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to hire Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator.

Moore and the Dallas Cowboys parted ways on Sunday.

Moore has also been a head coaching candidate in the past.

The Dallas Cowboys and Kellen Moore have parted ways after four seasons as offensive coordinator.

In a statement Sunday night, Mike McCarthy said the Cowboys and Moore reached a "mutual decision to part ways" following the end-of-season review process and additional discussion.

McCarthy could take over play calling duties, but no decisions have been made.

It still appears as though Jim Harbaugh will return to the University of Michigan.

Harbaugh spent some time last week with Greg Penner, owner and CEO of the Denver Broncos, about their head coaching vacancy, but no deal was made, according to a report.

Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce will make NFL history when the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs face off in two weeks.

The pair will be the first brothers to play each other in the Super Bowl. Both are considered future Hall of Famers -- Jason at center and Travis at tight end.

Prior to the Chiefs defeating the Cincinnati Bengals, Jason was asked on the potential of facing Travis in the Super Bowl. He was a Chiefs fan during the AFC Championship Game at least. 

"I got a Kansas City sweatshirt I'm gonna wear for the next three hours and then that's it for the rest of the year," Kelce said after the Eagles' NFC Championship Game victory. "Win or lose, I'm done being a Chiefs fan." 

The San Francisco 49ers were left without a functional quarterback after Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson suffered injuries in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

Purdy suffered an elbow injury, but was forced to return to the game when Johnson was knocked out with a concussion.

Jimmy Garoppolo was on the sidelines for the 49ers, but was not in uniform.

Garoppolo fractured his foot and he was not cleared to return ahead of the game in Philadelphia. After it was over, Garoppolo was left to lament his role as an observer.

"I wish I had a helmet," he said.

The Miami Dolphins have reached an agreement to hire Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator, according to a source.

Fangio, 64, sat out the 2022 season after the Denver Broncos fired him as head coach last January.

Fangio's defenses have finished in the top 10 eight times.
