8 NFL Coordinators Who Could Get Head Coaching Jobs After the 2025 Season | Bleacher Report
Matt Nagy, Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Coordinator
The Kansas City Chiefs want to field a more explosive passing attack this year. Of course, head coach Andy Reid will be the mastermind behind play designs. Still, Matt Nagy could get a second look as a head coach from teams that want to implement some of the Chiefs’ high-octane passing flavor.
Nagy has already made the transition from Chiefs offensive coordinator to a head coach.
The Chicago Bears hired Nagy after the 2017 season, before Patrick Mahomes took over the starting quarterback job in Kansas City. He went 34-31 as the Bears’ head coach, leading the team to just one winning season.
As a potential retread, Nagy’s resume is decent, considering the Bears went 12-4 in 2018 and Mitchell Trubisky made the NFC Pro Bowl roster in his best year as a pro under him.
If Nagy sets himself up with a team that has a high-ceiling quarterback, he could be a successful head coach. This year, Nagy interviewed for the New York Jets’ head coaching job. His interview request list could be a lot longer in 2026.
Travis Kelce Shares a Very On-Brand Complaint About Dating Taylor Swift | SI
The Kansas City Chiefs star was asked how he’s dealt with the increased fame and publicity that comes with dating Swift over the last few years, and he couldn’t resist reaching for the low-hanging fruit: some good ol’ toilet humor.
“It’s just the paparazzi, that’s probably the only thing I didn’t really grasp until you’re in it,” Kelce said. “Like, I’m just playing golf and all of a sudden in the trees there’s a f---ing guy with a camera and you’re just like, ‘Oh s---, I gotta go to the restroom now. I can’t just go over here and take a piss.’ ... Just don’t want my meat on Page Six.”
Chiefs DL George Karlaftis participates in the annual Sack Summit | Chiefs Wire
Karlaftis was one of 50 edge rushers to get invitations to the annual Sack Summit in Las Vegas. Similar to the efforts of Tight End University, the session has garnered a popular following among the gathering’s star players, who represent their teams.
“History is a big part of our organization, Coach speaks; Clark Hunt has every year: It’s about the history of the team and tradition and how important all of that is.” Karlaftis told Brian Baldinger, “We are well aware of it, and we’re trying to just keep elevating it every single year.
Thirty-Five Years of Shenanigans: The Man Behind KC Wolf | The Mothership
And as it turned out, Meers was a fast learner. As one of four performers on campus, he quickly worked his way to the top position among his fellow mascots. He began to impress on the national level, too, finishing with a top-four ranking in collegiate mascot competitions each year from 1988-90, and earning No. 1 honors in 1989.
Meers was a natural, and he even landed a gig with the St. Louis Cardinals while he was still in school, but even then, pursuing a career as a professional mascot wasn’t really on his mind until the folks just down I-70 reached out with an opportunity.
“I figured I’d do it in college and then I’d get a real job like everybody else, but when I was doing Fred Bird for the Cardinals and finishing up college, I got a call out of the blue from the Kansas City Chiefs,” Meers said. “They asked if I’d be interested in this new mascot program that they were starting up called KC Wolf, so I got to thinking about it and just thought it’d be a great opportunity.”

Darren Waller unretiring as Dolphins acquire TE in trade | ESPN
The Dolphins will trade a 2026 sixth-round pick to the New York Giants, who held his rights, in exchange for Waller and a conditional 2027 seventh-round pick, sources told Schefter.
Waller, 32, was one of the league’s best tight ends in 2019 and 2020, recording a combined 197 receptions for 2,341 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns for the Las Vegas Raiders, who rewarded him with a three-year, $51 million extension in 2022. However, they traded him to the Giants the following year, and Waller announced his retirement after just one season in New York.
Top 100 Players of 2025, Nos. 100-98: Falcons WR Drake London makes debut | NFL.com
97 -Drake London
Atlanta Falcons · WR
2024 stats: 17 games | 100 rec | 1,271 rec yds | 12.7 ypr | 9 rec TD
A breakout season led London to break through to the Top 100 for the first time. He paced Atlanta in receiving across the board, a target hog who delivered consistently for the league’s fifth-ranked passing offense. His output across quarterback Michael Penix Jr. ’s three starts paints an especially pretty picture for the future: 352 yards and two TDs on a whopping 37.1% target share. Might it only be the beginning for the young Falcons duo? It’s a tantalizing thought.

Chiefs Roster: 4 roster decisions that could come down to finances
Rounding out the cornerback room
The Chiefs rebuilt their secondary in 2022 with half of the team’s 10 draft selections devoted to defensive backs. As four members of the quintet enter the final season of their rookie contracts, their snaps are becoming more expensive.
Looking at the Chiefs roster, cornerback Joshua Williams’ scheduled (non-guaranteed) $3.4 million salary stands out as disproportionate to his role. Earlier in the offseason, we looked at a mandatory raise Williams earned due to high defensive snap counts in 2022 and 2024, while the Chiefs managed injuries to Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, respectively. Upon Watson returning for the playoffs in January, Williams did not see a postseason defensive snap.
The offseason has made his hold on his roster spot somewhat precarious after the Chiefs traded up to the 85th selection in April’s draft to select former California cornerback Nohl Williams. Also, when fellow 2022 cornerback draftee Nazeeh Johnson agreed to a reduced contract with Kansas City in March, the team guaranteed $1.2 million of his earnings. Joshua Williams has no guaranteed salary for 2025.
Williams will certainly have a chance in camp and the preseason to make his case to stay with the Chiefs, but he should currently be seen as a strong candidate to be traded or cut after the preseason. Absent a transaction note of a reduced salary, the math is unlikely to be on his side.
