Based on the Rooney Rule’s language, if the Giants lose one of these two men (Brown or Kafka), they would get a compensatory third-round draft pick in both 2025 and 2026. If the Giants lose both, they would get an extra such comp pick in 2027 — but not a fourth such comp pick in 2028.

Macdonald said he will give leeway to the new offensive coordinator to hire his own assistants. That has Seahawks line coach Scott Huff and others on notice, waiting uncomfortably.

There have been changes at defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator, running backs coach (twice), tight ends coach, offensive line coach, outside linebackers coach and defensive backs coach.

After firing Dennis Allen in November, New Orleans will likely pick from seven candidates to be the team's next head coach.

Brown, who interviewed for the Raiders GM job, will now return to the Giants for a fourth season barring anything unexpected.

For some of those teams, that will involve finding new head coaches and/or General Managers. Three teams fired their head coaches during the season and two more have been dispatched as of 9 a.m. ET on January 6.

The New York Giants will hire former New York Jets safeties coach Marquand Manuel as their defensive backs coach.

Aaron Glenn has filled an NFL coaching vacancy at the New York Jets, joining Ben Johnson at the Chicago Bears and Mike Vrabel at the New England Patriots. The Dallas Cowboys are among four teams still searching.

The Cowboys interviewed Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who played for the team and then served as Dak Prescott’s play-caller for four seasons. Dallas also interviewed former Jets coach Robert Saleh and former Vikings coach Leslie Frazier.

The Raiders have hired Bucs assistant GM John Spytek to be their GM, but like the Cowboys, Saints, Jaguars and Jets, they don't have a new head coach yet.

So far, besides the Patriots and Vrabel, Lions coordinators Ben Johnson (Bears) and Aaron Glenn (Jets) have been scooped up in the coaching carousel.
