Leonard previously served as the team\u2019s run game coordinator and defensive line coach, working closely with standout edge rusher Maxx Crosby. As part of the shakeup, Las Vegas is also retaining <strong>Joe Woods<\/strong> as defensive pass-game coordinator. Woods and Kubiak previously worked together in New Orleans, indicating an emphasis on staff familiarity and continuity on the defensive side.<\/p>\n<p>The Arizona Cardinals are making several additions to their coaching staff, per Yahoo Sports. Former Auburn assistant <strong>Zac Etheridge<\/strong> is set to become the new cornerbacks coach, while former Texans quarterback <strong>Matt Schaub<\/strong> joins the staff in an unspecified coaching role. Both hires signal the team\u2019s focus on injecting new perspectives into player development, particularly in the secondary and offensive meeting rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; wide receivers coach <strong>Aaron Moorehead<\/strong> remains with the organization despite a difficult 2025 season, as noted in a local NBC analysis. Though Moorehead has faced scrutiny, broader team issues appear to have taken priority in the offseason evaluations.<\/p>\n<h2>Player News<\/h2>\n<p>An in-depth ESPN feature raises questions about whether <strong>Trevor Lawrence<\/strong> can sustain his impressive 2025 campaign that saw him emerge as an MVP finalist. The report credits offensive coordinator Liam Coen\u2019s system for tapping into Lawrence\u2019s strengths, while also noting the quarterback\u2019s improved decision-making and poise. As the Jaguars look to build on last season\u2019s progress, expectations for Lawrence in 2026 are undeniably rising.<\/p>\n<h2>League News<\/h2>\n<p>The Tennessee Titans have unveiled a new logo as part of an ongoing franchise refresh. According to Titans Wire, the updated branding surfaced via Fanatics marketing materials and reflects a modernized aesthetic while maintaining ties to the original design. The move aligns with ownership\u2019s stated goal of refreshing the team\u2019s identity ahead of the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n<h2>Historical &amp; Off-Field Stories<\/h2>\n<p>A recent interview with former Saints quarterback <strong>Drew Brees<\/strong> has drawn attention for his revealing story about a sideline incident during his playing days. Brees recounted grabbing and removing a Saints assistant coach from a huddle in defense of teammate <strong>Carl Nicks<\/strong>. Although the moment occurred years ago, it illustrates the intense in-game dynamics between players and staff and Brees\u2019 leadership style.<\/p>\n<h2>Draft &amp; Development<\/h2>\n<p>NFL.com has released its annual rookie report cards, assessing the 2025 draft class across all teams. The rankings highlight standout contributors as well as underwhelming selections, offering insights into how each front office performed in talent evaluation and development. The grades serve as a key measure of early returns heading into year two for the 2025 class.<\/p>\n<h2>Media Moments<\/h2>\n<p>A series of video highlights circulated online this week, resurfacing memorable moments from the 2025 season. Clips include every interception thrown by <strong>Geno Smith<\/strong>, a nostalgic look at <strong>Jim Tomsula<\/strong>&#8216;s 49ers introductory press conference, and Patriots radio announcers acknowledging the Seattle Seahawks\u2019 dominant performance. These media moments provide fans with offseason content that captures the highs and lows from recent campaigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coaching News The Las Vegas Raiders continue restructuring under new head coach Klint Kubiak, promoting Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator, per multiple reports.
