AFC Rumors: Browns, Broncos, Patriots, Jags

June 25th, 2017 at 1:30pm CST by Dallas Robinson

Jabrill Peppers is one of only 11 2017 draft choices who has yet to sign his rookie deal, and offset language is likely to blame for the contractual holdup with the Browns, as Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com writes. Offset language, as a reminder, can allow a player to “double dip” if he’s waived by his original club, as it enables him to collect a salary from a new team without that total being offset. Neither of Cleveland’s other two first-round picks — defensive end Myles Garrett and tight end David Njoku — were able to remove offset language from their deals, so the Browns are likely attempting to maintain precedent with Peppers.

Here’s more from the AFC:

Second-year quarterback Paxton Lynch is now in a better position to challenge Trevor Siemian for the Broncos‘ starting job after an exemplary performance during the final two weeks of Denver’s offseason program, according to Mike Klis of 9News. Per Klis, while Lynch can’t be considered to have “overtaken” Siemian just yet, a “switch flipped” for the 2016 first-round selection. “Yeah, I mean the more reps I’m getting with these guys, the more I get to go against the defense and see the looks live compared to just on paper, it’s helping me a lot,’’ Lynch said. “I think each practice I’ve progressively got better.’’
New signee David Harris is nearly a lock to make the Patriots‘ roster after agreeing to a two-year, $5MM deal last week, as Mike Reiss of ESPN.com explains in a pair of articles. More of a luxury addition than a need-based signing, Harris is likely to play in base formations alongside fellow linebacker Dont’a Hightower. The former Jet can also serve as insurance for Hightower, who hasn’t played a full 16-game slate since 2013. Meanwhile, Harris’ signing doesn’t figure to materially affect the role of other New England ‘backers such as Shea McClellin, who will still be working primarily in the passing game.
If Blake Bortles struggles to begin the 2017 season, the Jaguars could choose to employ the Robert Griffin III treatment: pluck Bortles on the bench so an injury doesn’t require the club to pay its quarterback nearly $20MM in 2018 under the terms of his fifth-year option, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. Fifth-year options are guaranteed for injury only, meaning Jacksonville could cut Bortles before the 2018 league year unless he can’t pass a physical. Washington didn’t allow RG3 to see the field in 2015 for fear that an injury would cost it significant money.

Louis Riddick Denies Chiefs GM Interest

June 25th, 2017 at 11:24am CST by Dallas Robinson

Although Ian Rapoport of NFL.com indicates (Twitter link) the Chiefs have reached out to ESPN commentator Louis Riddick in order to schedule an interview for their general manager vacancy, Riddick himself denies Kansas City has done so. “The Kansas City Chiefs have not contacted me and there is no interview set up for this week. Source? Me,” Riddick said (Twitter link).

Riddick was a candidate for the 49ers’ GM job earlier this year, so it’s entirely conceivable that he might be on Kansas City’s wishlist. Indeed, the variance in Rapoport’s report and Riddick’s denial could simply be semantics, as it’s possible the Chiefs intend to contact Riddick about an interview but haven’t yet officially reached out.

The Chiefs are expected to consider both internal and external candidates for their GM position after firing John Dorsey last week, and a wide swath of contenders could be interested in what is viewed as a highly attractive job. Incumbent co-directors of player personnel Mike Borgonzi and Brett Veach are both expected to be interviewed.

Chiefs GM Job Viewed As Highly Attractive

June 25th, 2017 at 9:51am CST by Dallas Robinson

Although the timing of the Chiefs’ firing of general manager John Dorsey could prove complicating, as rival clubs may be loathe to let staffers interview for the Kansas City position this late in the offseason, the Chiefs GM job is viewed as a highly attractive gig, as Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star reports.

“This is hard to find, man,” an NFC executive tells Paylor. “These types of jobs don’t come open often. Normally you’re going in there and rebuilding; you’re gutting the place. Here, you’ve got to keep the ship in the ocean, just keep it afloat. Just don’t screw it up.”

The Chiefs vacancy certainly comes with a number of positive attributes, with chief among them possibly being the existence of established (and successful) head coach Andy Reid. Kansas City also boasts a stable roster with premier players at key positions, a quarterback-in-waiting in Patrick Mahomes, and a reasonable cap space situation, as the club’s $11MM in reserves ranks 21st in the NFL.

Of course, not every facet of the Chiefs job can be viewed through rose-colored glasses, and the way in which Dorsey was fired — which shocked those inside and outside the organization — is concerning. “Guys under contract with other clubs might look and see that the pay is probably less than others, and there’s limited flexibility with the staff because it’s so close to the season, and they might not have control of the 53-man,” a longtime NFL evaluator tells Paylor. “Someone might want to wait until they can have those things.”

Kansas City is expected to start its general manager search immediately, and will consider both internal and external candidates. Incumbent co-directors of player personnel Mike Borgonzi and Brett Veach are both expected to be interviewed.

5 Key Stories: 6/18/17 – 6/25/17

June 25th, 2017 at 8:45am CST by Dallas Robinson

Chiefs make a leadership change. On the same day that Kansas City extended head coach Andy Reid, the club decided to fire general manager John Dorsey. While the reasons for Dorsey’s dismissal are still murky, it’s possible Kansas City wasn’t happy with how Dorsey managed extensions for star defenders Eric Berry and Justin Houston. Additionally, Dorsey’s own contract with the Chiefs may have played a role in his firing. KC is expected to start its search for a new GM immediately.

Raiders lock up their QB. While the Chiefs are going through some minor turmoil, things are all smiles elsewhere in the AFC West. After much negotiation, the Raiders agreed to a five-year, $125MM extension with quarterback Derek Carr that makes him the highest-paid player in the NFL on an annual basis. Carr could have conceivably pressed for more money or better cash flow, but he wants Oakland to have funds for other long-term deals with Khalil Mack, Gabe Jackson, and Amari Cooper.

Patriots land an ex-Jet. The rich got richer last week, as the Patriots agreed to terms on a two-year deal with former Jets linebacker David Harris. The contract will pay Harris $5MM over the two-year term, and comes with $1.25MM guaranteed. That’s reportedly more money than New York offered Harris on a restructured pact. Harris, 33, figures to start in base packages for New England alongside Dont’a Hightower.

Titans continue to add pieces. Eric Decker is heading home, as he agreed to a one-year contract with the Titans that can pay him as much as $5.35MM. Decker lives in the Nashville area, and the prospect of playing near his residence likely played a role in his decision. Tennessee has brought in several addition weapons to an offense that already ranked ninth in DVOA a year ago, including wide receivers Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor and tight end Jonnu Smith.

Jarvis Landry sets a deadline. Although Landry has no plans to holdout for a new contract, he won’t negotiate with the Dolphins once the regular season begins. That gives Miami less than three months to work out a new deal with their star slot receiver. The Dolphins, of course, have already handed a four-year deal to Kenny Stills and spent a first-round pick on DeVante Parker in 2014, so it’s unclear if they’re willing to invest in another wideout.

Dolphins LB Koa Misi Still Not Cleared

June 24th, 2017 at 8:25pm CST by Dallas Robinson

Dolphins linebacker Koa Misi is still recovering from spinal fusion surgery and has yet to be medically cleared, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Misi recently with a doctor and will do so again in July, but it’s unclear whether he’ll be allowed to participate in training camp, per Jackson.

When Misi was originally placed on injured reserve last October, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reported that Misi’s neck injury had the possibility to be career-threatening. To this point, that hasn’t been the case, as Misi expressed confidence in March that he’d be ready to suit up for the 2017 campaign. But the severity of his ailment clearly (and understandably) is giving the Dolphins pause.

Miami made several additions to its linebacking unit during the offseason, and Misi isn’t being counted on as a starter. The Dolphins signed former Steelers ‘backer Lawrence Timmons to a two-year, $12MM deal in March, and then used a second-round draft choice on Ohio State’s Raekwon McMillan. Both Timmons and McMillan figure to start alongside Kiko Alonso, while depth options include Mike Hull, Neville Hewitt, and Trevor Reilly.

Misi, 30, managed only 127 defensive snaps in 2016 before going down with injury, and hasn’t appeared in a full 16-game slate since his rookie campaign in 2010. Earlier this year, Misi accepted a paycut for the second consecutive year, as he agreed to slash his salary by ~$3MM.

Top Remaining NFL Free Agents: Offense

June 24th, 2017 at 7:11pm CST by Dallas Robinson

Any NFL club aiming to seriously upgrade its roster through free agency in June is clearly not adept at personnel management, but small tweaks can still be made as the summer begins. While headliners such as Colin Kaepernick and Anquan Boldin remain unsigned, it’s often lesser-known players that can make incremental differences once the season gets underway.

Using our master list of 2017 free agents, let’s take a look at the best remaining free agents on the offensive side of the ball:

Quarterback

Based on pure talent, Colin Kaepernick is far and away the best free agent quarterback remaining on the board. But the myriad of explanations — or as may label them, excuses — for his inability to land a contract thus far have been well-documented. Concerns about Kaepernick’s political views, his workout regimen, and even his diet have been used as justifications for his never-ending free agent status, and the only club that’s expressed serious interest thus far is the Seahawks, who ultimately passed on the former 49ers signal-caller in favor of Austin Davis.

Christian Ponder‘s place as the No. 2 free agent quarterback speaks volumes about the lack of available passers, as the 29-year-old hasn’t attempted a pass since 2014. Still, he’s a former first-round pick with a more successful track record of playing from the pocket than any other QB on this list. Hill, meanwhile, is now 37 years old, but had a decent showing as the Vikings’ opening day starter last season, and was mildly effective as a seven-game starter in 2014.

While Robert Griffin III may possess the largest upside of any free agent quarterback aside from Kaepernick, he simply hasn’t shown the ability to remain on the field for any substantial amount of time. Signed to a two-year contract by the Browns prior to last season, Griffin managed to play in only five total games was subsequently released. His persistent difficulty with reading defenses and staying in the pocket could limit his opportunities.

Running back

Chris Johnson‘s 2016 campaign never got off the ground, as injuries limited him to only four games and 95 rushing yards. But the 32-year-old ran for more than 800 yards the year prior, and teams have reportedly reached out to express interest this offseason. The same can’t be said for Rashad Jennings, who is now touring with Dancing With The Stars, but his ability as a third-down back should help him garner interest if he’s serious about continuing his career.

While DWTS wasn’t in the cards for DeAngelo Williams, he is set to make his pro wrestling debut on July 2. It’s unclear if Williams, now 34, is ready to hang up his cleats, but his yards per carry average dropped a full yard in 2016. Denard Robinson and Bobby Rainey, meanwhile, are back-end roster types who will only earn a roster spot based on their receiving ability and special teams prowess.

Running back, clearly, is a young man’s position, and if teams are interested in more youthful players, there are backs with age on their side. Karlos Williams, George Farmer, Tyler Gaffney, Jonathan Grimes, Ronnie Hillman, and Antonio Andrews are all unsigned and age-27 or younger.

Fullback

While players such as Kyle Juszczyk and Patrick DiMarco landed healthy contracts this offseason, most NFL clubs aren’t deploying a fullback with regularity, lessening the demand for lead blockers such as Jerome Felton. While he, Zach Line, and Paul Lasike may have to wait for an injury to strike before finding a new home, Marcel Reece‘s excellent receiving ability could allow to ink a contract sooner rather than later.

Wide receiver

Anquan Boldin just keeps on ticking: even in his age-36 campaign, Boldin managed 67 receptions and eight touchdowns for the Lions. A red-zone threat that can’t be overlooked, Boldin is taking his time searching for a new contract, and may prefer to play close to his Florida residence. Detroit and Baltimore both remain interested in Boldin.

After Boldin, the list of available wideouts drops off dramatically. Veterans such as Stevie Johnson, Vincent Jackson, and Eddie Royal offer experience, but they each come with health question marks. Johnson missed the entirety of the 2016 campaign with injury, while Jackson and Royal played in only five and nine games, respectively.

Aside from an established pass-catcher such as Boldin or Jackson, any receiver signed at this stage of free agency is likely going to need to contribute on special teams. With that in mind, receivers such as Quinton Patton, Griff Whalen, Marcus Easley, Bryan Walters, or the recently waived DeAndrew White could be in consideration for deals based on their ST ability.

Tight end

I’ve already laid out the free agent case for Gary Barnidge earlier this year, noting eight clubs that could use the veteran pass-catcher. Like many players on this list, he may have to wait for an injury before he ink a new deal, but he could end up as a bargain for a lucky team. The Jaguars, Broncos, Bills, and Panthers are among the squads that have been linked to Barnidge thus far.

While Barnidge would bring a steady element to nearly any offense, Ladarius Green is a higher-risk, higher-reward player. Plagued by injuries all season in 2016, Green was released just one year into a multi-season pact with the Steelers, but he has no plans to retire. When he was on the field a season ago, Green managed 16.9 yards per reception, so the talent is still there.

Jacob Tamme may still be recovering from shoulder surgery, which could limit his market, but the 49ers were reportedly interested in him earlier this year. Michael Williams, meanwhile, is a former offensive lineman who essentially act as a sixth OL (he boasts only three career receptions). Nevertheless, he would be a solid addition for a club that needs extra protection up front, like the Bengals or Rams.

Offensive tackle

Aside from quarterback, offensive tackle may be the position with the least amount of free agent talent available. Ryan Clady tops the list of available tackles, but he only managed to play half the season in 2016. He’s missed eight or more games in two of the past three years, so he’s unlikely to garner anything more than a heavily incentive-laden contract.

Austin Pasztor‘s inability to find a free agent contract is quietly one of the more interesting questions of the free agent period. In his first season as a 16-game starter at right tackle, Pasztor earned positive grades from Pro Football Focus, which gave him excellent marks in the passing game. And he’s only 26 years old! A multi-year deal seemed assured earlier this year, and the fact that Pasztor is still unsigned is extremely surprising.

The rest of the options at offensive tackle are reserve-quality, as Mike Adams, Will Beatty, and Matt Tobin combined to start all of two contests in 2016. Teams with question marks along the offensive line heading into the offseason should have addressed the tackle position by now — if not, they aren’t going to find much help now.

Interior offensive line

Nick Mangold has been linked to the Ravens for some time, and Baltimore — which is set to start the inexperienced John Urschel at center — still seems like the best fit for Mangold. But the two sides are reportedly in a “holding pattern,” with money serving as the likely barrier between a union. It’s unsurprising that the Ravens aren’t willing to offer Mangold much in the way of a contract at this late juncture, but a deal between the two sides seems to be in the best interest of all parties.

The Chargers released three veteran offensive lineman — Orlando Franklin, King Dunlap, and D.J. Fluker — earlier this year, and while Fluker has landed a contract and Dunlap decided to end his career, Franklin is still on the open market. He’s met with the Jaguars, but the guard-needy Dolphins have no interest in signing the 29-year-old. As Mike Guerrelli of Pro Football Focus recently explained, Franklin’s best success came alongside Peyton Manning, who is noted for his control of the pocket.

Tre’ Jackson has already had a busy offseason, as he’s been waived by the Patriots, claimed by the Rams, waived by the Rams, and worked out by the Bears (all since April!). Clearly, his health is a question mark, but if Jackson can right his physical woes, he could be a steal for the team that signs him.

Community Tailgate: Derek Carr’s Deal

June 24th, 2017 at 4:42pm CST by Zachary Links

Derek Carr is now the highest-paid player in the NFL…depending on how you look at it. The “new money” average annual value of Carr’s deal gives him $25MM per year, beginning in 2018 when the contract kicks in. That tops Andrew Luck‘s new money yearly average of $24.769MM, giving Carr the mantle by a slim margin of $271K per season. There’s also the matter of cashflow. Luck’s three-year value ($75MM to $67.6MM) and four-year value ($96.125MM to $87.7MM) tops Carr’s. Any way you slice it, Carr probably won’t be at the top for long anyway since Matthew Stafford is on deck for a new deal and the Lions are not hesitant about making him the highest-paid player in the NFL.

When asked about his new contract at a press conference earlier this week, Carr explained that he structured the deal with his teammates in mind. The Raiders will soon begin extension talks with right guard Gabe Jackson, linebacker Khalil Mack, and (perhaps a little further down the line) wide receiver Amari Cooper. The way the deal is designed, Carr said, should help the Raiders keep all of those key pillars for years to come.

When looking at the fine print, Carr’s deal isn’t exactly the market-pushing deal that the initial reports would have led us to believe. There was speculation that Carr would push the Raiders for larger-than-usual guarantees or perhaps even a set percentage of the yearly salary cap to account for the team’s ever-increasing revenue. Neither one of those things happened and Carr didn’t exactly shatter the glass ceiling for top quarterbacks.

Jason Fitzgerald of Over The Cap estimates that the quarterback market should really be around $27-$30MM by now rather than $25MM. Because a few QBs like Tom Brady accepted team-friendly deals, the going rate for elite signal callers has not increased at the same rate as the salary cap. Carr’s deal will help out the Raiders and his teammates, but it doesn’t necessarily blaze a trail for his fellow quarterbacks.

Do you like Carr’s decision to structure his deal in a way that suits Oakland? Or do you think the youngster should have pushed for more? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

Vikings Support Michael Floyd’s Claim

June 24th, 2017 at 2:58pm CST by Zachary Links

Michael Floyd is blaming his positive alcohol tests on kombucha tea and, somewhat surprisingly, the Vikings seem to be backing up his story. Vikings CEO Kevin Warren has passed along a letter to be used in Floyd’s upcoming court appearance which may help to explain Floyd’s situation.

“I am writing to request Mr. Floyd not have his court mandated requirements negatively impacted since he did not know the kombucha he ingested contained alcohol,” Warren wrote in the letter.

Floyd says that he unknowingly ingested alcohol when he was drinking the tea with teammate Kyle Rudolph. The Vikings are helping to back up Floyd’s claim in part because they recommend their players drink it as part of a health regimen. The Vikings even have the drink on tap at their practice facility in Winter Park.

There has been speculation that the Vikings could cut ties with Floyd because of his non-guaranteed contract, but all in all it sounds like the Vikings want to stay in business with the talented wide receiver.

“In closing, since Michael has joined our team, he has displayed a strong work ethic, a compliant attitude and professionalism,” Warren wrote.

Poll: Who Will Be The Best Top Ten Pick?

June 24th, 2017 at 2:00pm CST by Zachary Links

This year’s draft took a number of unexpected twists and turns. The surprises started early and the top part of the draft shook out in a way that few expected. Now, we want to know who you think the best player to come out of the top 10 will be. Here’s a refresher on each pick, followed by a poll. We also encourage you to back up your selection in the comments.

Browns – Myles Garrett, DE (Texas A&M, No. 1 overall): Heading into the draft, Garrett seemed to be everyone’s consensus No. 1 talent. Despite some rumblings that the Browns could take a certain quarterback at the top of the draft, Cleveland went with convention and took the Texas A&M star. In three seasons in College Station, Garrett recorded 31 sacks and 47 tackles for loss. He also graded as a top-three edge defender during all three of his collegiate campaigns, per the advanced numbers at Pro Football Focus. Unfortunately, Garrett sprained his left foot during practice and that’s a bit worrisome since he had left ankle trouble last season. The good news is that he has been able to play through the pain before and doctors say he should be ready to go in time for training camp.
Bears – Mitch Trubisky, QB (North Carolina, No. 2 overall): Few people saw this one coming. Not only did the Bears take Trubisky without warning, but they moved up from No. 3 to No. 2 in order to secure him. The pick also took free agent addition Mike Glennon by surprise since his $45MM deal led him to believe that he would be the man in Chicago for at least a couple of years. Some say that Trubisky has the potential to blossom into a star. Others say that Trubisky was merely the best signal caller in a class full of unimpressive QBs.
49ers – Solomon Thomas, DT (Stanford, No. 3 overall): Thomas was among the top-ranked players on the 49ers’ board and they received extra draft compensation for taking him. You can’t argue with the value that San Francisco got in the draft night swap, but you’ll have to overlook the size concerns in order to vote for him as the best player to be drafted in the top 10. “Tweener” talk aside, Thomas had 61 total tackles last season – including 14 tackles for a loss – and 8.5 sacks. He now joins an up-and-coming defensive line in SF and the potential is there for him to do great things.
Jaguars – Leonard Fournette, RB (LSU, No. 4 overall): Fournette was widely regarded as the best running back in this year’s class and he silenced doubters at the combine with his faster-than-expected 40-yard-dash time. The 6’1″, 230-pound running back averaged an eye-popping 6.5 yards per carry in his final two seasons on campus, making evaluators around the league salivate at his potential.
Titans – Corey Davis, WR (Western Michigan, No. 5 overall): The buzz around Davis grew in the weeks leading up to the draft, but this pick still caught some by surprise. The Titans went with the Western Michigan standout with their top selection, even though he had ankle surgery in February. They believe that the 6’3″, 213-pounder will produce at the next level and it’s not hard to see why they have faith in him. Last year, he finished with personal highs in receptions (97), yards (1,500), and scores (19).
Jets – Jamal Adams, S (LSU, No. 6 overall): Early on in draft season, it seemed like a coin flip between Adams and Ohio State’s Malik Hooker for the mantle of best safety in the draft. As late April approaches, more and more people in the football world went into Adams’ camp. The Jets had tons of needs on both sides of the ball, but they used the draft as an opportunity to revamp the safety position. Some say that it doesn’t make sense to take a safety early in the draft, but it seems like analysts everywhere are on board with the Jets’ pick.
Chargers – Mike Williams, WR (Clemson, No. 7 overall): The NFL now has another wide receiver named Mike Williams. The Bolts could have gone with a defensive upgrade with guys like Hooker and cornerback Marshon Lattimore still on the board, but they chose instead to get Philip Rivers a big target to throw to on the outside. Williams has all the physical tools to succeed, but there are some concerns about his tendency to drop the occasional ball.
Panthers – Christian McCaffrey, RB (Stanford, No. 8 overall): Many saw the Panthers taking Fournette with this pick, but once he was off the board, they went to McCaffrey. McCaffrey battled through injury in his final year and still finished out with 1,639 rushing yards. The running back has the ability to make defenders miss and the field vision to break off big runs, but there are some concerns about whether he’ll be able to be an every-down back given his lack of size.
Bengals – John Ross, WR (Washington, No. 9 overall): Speed kills and it also pushes you up draft boards. Many expected Ross to be a first round pick, but his selection within the top 10 caught some by surprise. He can torch just about any defender you put in front of him, but it remains to be seen whether he can stay healthy. Ross has suffered a torn ACL and torn meniscus in the past. He also underwent labrum surgery after the combine. If those kinds of ailments are behind him, however, Ross could be a star as he lines up opposite of A.J. Green.
Chiefs – Patrick Mahomes, QB (Texas Tech, No. 10 overall): The Chiefs gave up quite a bit to get the No. 10 pick, so they obviously believe Mahomes can blossom into a top-tier quarterback. The former baseball pitcher has a naturally strong arm and also has the wheels to gain yards on the ground when needed.

When all is said and done, who do you think will be the best player out of this year’s top 10? Vote below and defend your pick in the comment section.

Extra Points: McCullers, Ravens, Jets

June 24th, 2017 at 12:28pm CST by Ben Levine

Some assorted notes from around the NFL on this Saturday morning…

Steelers defensive tackle Dan McCullers has only compiled 27 tackles and 1.5 sacks since being selected in the sixth round of the 2014 draft. As Chris Adamski of TribLive.com writes, the 24-year-old isn’t guaranteed a roster spot, and his coaches seemingly echoed that sentiment. “Dan McCullers, he’s got to grow up,” said defensive line coach John Mitchell. “It’s time to make a move right now. This is going to be his fourth year. And usually in this league, after about four years, you have got to make a move. Or, either, you move somewhere else.” An injury to starter Javon Hargrave opened up first-team reps, but McCullers was reportedly passed in favor of L.T. Walton.
Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun believes there are several Ravens players who have to prove themselves this season if they want to stick around the NFL. The writer specifically points to a pair of fourth-year players, wideout Michael Campanaro and tight end Crockett Gillmore. Preston doesn’t believe the players need to become “superstars,” but they need to at least prove that they can contribute in some capacity.
It has already been an offseason of changes for the Jets, who let go of veterans like Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Darrelle Revis, Nick Mangold, and David Harris. Darryl Slater of NJ.com takes a look at seven current Jets who could be released or traded over the next 12 months, including cornerback Buster Skrine, defensive ends Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson, offensive guard James Carpenter, running backs Matt Forte and Bilal Powell, and defensive tackle Steve McLendon.
Ben Swanson of DenverBroncos.com caught up with Vance Joseph to learn more about the new Broncos‘ head coach, including his hobbies and favorite foods. Notably, when asked which of his former players would make the best NFL head coach, Joseph pointed to Lions (and former Texans) safety Glover Quin.
