The original content and analysis produced by the PFR staff during the past week:
- As the offseason progresses, PFR will assess each team by examining the top three needs on each respective roster. We covered three organizations last week:
- The NFL’s Rooney Rule — which requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate when filling a general manager or head coach vacancy — has been the subject of much discussion in recent weeks, as the Raiders may or may not have met the rule’s requirements before hiring Jon Gruden. While the NFL has determined Oakland did follow the Rooney Rule stipulations, Zach Links examined the effects of the regulation on the league’s hiring processes, noting that further changes involving minority candidates could be on the table.
- The Vikings are in a precarious position: not only are they naming a new offensive coordinator to replace Pat Shurmur, but their top three quarterbacks — including breakout starter Case Keenum — are all free agents. With that in mind, Rory Parks asked PFR readers where Keenum will be playing in 2018, and while Minnesota is currently leading the vote, other teams, such as the Cardinals and Jets, have also garnered consideration.
