The Denver Broncos have officially allowed three players—offensive lineman Cam Fleming, tight end Donald Parham, and wide receiver David Sills—to enter the free agency pool as their contracts have expired. All three players were primarily seen in supporting roles and were part of the team’s practice squad last season.

Fleming, 32, has been with the Broncos since 2021, starting 20 games over his tenure. He expressed his desire to continue playing in the league next season. Parham joined the Broncos last August but did not see any game action, remaining on the practice squad despite opportunities due to underperformance in the tight end group. Meanwhile, Sills was a preseason standout but was unable to secure a spot on the active roster.

The New York Jets have made Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn their top candidate for the head coaching position. Following the Lions' playoff elimination at the hands of the Washington Commanders, Glenn is now available for interviews, prompting excitement within Jets Nation. However, the Jets face stiff competition, notably from the New Orleans Saints, who are also interested in Glenn.

Despite a disappointing performance from Glenn's defense in the playoff game, experts believe it won’t negatively impact his market value. The Jets are eager to move forward in their search for a head coach, but they may need to contend with the Saints, who have shown interest in several candidates, including Glenn.

The Denver Broncos are shifting focus to their offseason strategies, including free agency, the NFL draft, and potential trades, following a disappointing end to their season. The Broncos acquired quarterback Zach Wilson and defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers from the Jets last year, with Wilson currently positioned as the No. 3 QB. Rumors of another deal are circulating, particularly involving fourth-year wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who has impressed with his performance. However, the price for Garrett Wilson could be steep, and the Broncos face several pressing roster needs.

With the No. 20 overall draft pick, the Broncos have various positions to address, including wide receiver, running back, and tight end. The team also requires depth on the defensive line and help at inside linebacker. Head coach Sean Payton and GM George Paton are tasked with smartly utilizing their draft picks amid a tight salary cap situation. The Broncos’ recent success in drafting foundational players suggests a cautious approach toward any potential trades for more established stars like Wilson.

The NFL Divisional Playoff Round showcased an overwhelming trend towards first-round quarterbacks, with seven out of eight starting signal-callers being first-round selections. This includes two players who were the first overall picks in their drafts, highlighting the trend that top draft investments in quarterbacks often lead to significant playoff success. Notably, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens is in contention for his third MVP award, underscoring his importance among the elite.

Historically, quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Brock Purdy offer examples of success despite being drafted in lower rounds, yet this year's playoffs reaffirm the value of high draft picks. Teams like the Lions and Rams, with Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford respectively, show the potential of first overall selections to succeed in Super Bowl appearances. Recent drafts have also produced top contenders, like C.J. Stroud and Jayden Daniels, who are both No. 2 picks.

The Dallas Cowboys are set to commence their coaching search following the dismissal of Mike McCarthy after five seasons. Owner Jerry Jones has initiated contact with potential candidates, having spoken recently with Colorado head coach Deion Sanders. However, the first formal interview request has been made for former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh.

Saleh's tenure with the Jets concluded after a 20-36 record spanning just under four seasons, punctuated by his firing after Week 5 of the current season. Despite the team's struggles, Saleh's defensive units consistently ranked among the league's best during his tenure. His defense was a key factor, displaying top-five metrics in multiple categories prior to his exit.
