Who will be the Titans' interim head coach?

Details
13 October 2025

The Tennessee Titans have announced that coach Brian Callahan is out. The Titans have not yet announced his interim replacement.

There aren't many obvious candidates on the current coaching staff. Callahan's father, Bill, has head-coaching experience (he took the Raiders to the Super Bowl in 2002), but it would be awkward, to say the least, for the team to give him the keys. Or for the elder Callahan to take them.

Former Chargers coach Mike McCoy serves as a senior offensive assistant in Tennessee, so he could take the reins for the remainder of the season.

The Titans also could go outside the building, like the Colts did in 2022, hiring former Colts center Jeff Saturday. And, unlike Saturday, there's a former Titans great who currently is coaching a mid-major college program — and who was interviewed for an NFL job in the most recent cycle.

Eddie George.

Whether he'd leave Bowling Green is a different issue. His buyout would be in the range of $2 million. But he'd be in line for a significant pay increase, since he's making roughly $600,000 per year in his current gig.

Then there's Mike McCarthy. He had no buyout in Dallas, and he's available immediately. He and Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker worked together in Green Bay, for multiple years.

Regardless, the Titans didn't announce the interim coach at the time they announced the firing of the current one. With a game against former Patriots coach Mike Vrabel only six days away, the clock is ticking. Loudly.

Sources: Several teams interested in trading for Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson

Details
13 October 2025

The NFL trade deadline is just over three weeks away, and with the Jets 0-6, general manager Darren Mougey is sure to be busy fielding calls.

Sources tell SNY NFL Insider Connor Hughes that edge rusher Jermaine Johnson is a name that has come up for several teams in need of help rushing the quarterback.

A team involved in those trade talks told Hughes it would take "a lot" for the Jets to part ways with Johnson, who is surely a hot commodity given that he’s just 26 and is still on his rookie contract (The Jets have already picked up his fifth-year option for 2026).

Two front office sources unaffiliated with the Jets said there is absolutely value in Johnson, a premier player against the run and solid pass rusher. The two sources from two different teams both agreed a first-round pick is too rich. A second-rounder is possible, but a third-rounder would be most likely, though compensation can increase if two teams bid against each other.  

Johnson earned Pro Bowl honors in 2023, when he racked up 7.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss, but injuries have plagued him ever since. Johnson played just two games in 2024 due to a torn Achilles and missed time this season due to an ankle injury.

Overall, the 2022 first-round pick has totaled 11.0 sacks and 16 tackles for loss in 36 career regular season games.

The trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 4 p.m.

Details
13 October 2025

We've got two teams on bye with the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens off in Week 7. That means some fantasy football managers should be looking for a D/ST streaming options off the waiver wire. Below we'll go over some options based on Justin Boone's waiver wire column for Week 7.

Browns

vs. MIA

Seahawks vs. Texans: Against competitive teams the first three weeks of the season, the Texans' offense looked completely lost. Aside from Week 5 vs. the Bucs, the Seattle D/ST unit has posted at least eight fantasy points in every game this season. 

Bears vs. Saints: Chicago had 11 fantasy points in each of its home games this season, both matchups against tough-ish offenses (Vikings, Cowboys). New Orleans has failed to reach 20 points in four of six games this season. 

Browns vs. Dolphins: Cleveland will look to bounce back at home against a Miami team that is averaging almost two turnovers per game this season — and the team is in the midst of controversy. The Browns have a stout run defense that should attempt to bottle-up RB De'Von Achane.
