NFL offseason thread

Glazer had a line that John Fox could be in play if the Broncos lose today. That's suddenly very interesting.

 

Unless Manning is retiring, that doesn't seem to make much sense, right? Are the Broncos going to overhaul the coaching staff when their window is going to close probably next season? If they think the window has already closed, they need to acquire Manning's replacement pronto because installing a new offense, or handcuffing the new head coach with Manning as defacto OC, will be a disaster.

 

Tebow's available.

 

Who would want Fox? Really. Atlanta is the only one I can imagine.

 

Why only Atlanta?

 

Yeah, good question. He has taken two different teams to the Super Bowl.

 

Fox > Ryan

Not even a serious debate.

 

Are the Broncos going to be trading up for Mariota?

 

Manning could very well retire.

 

True, and perhaps Glazer is hearing rumblings of his impending retirement and ownership considering cleaning house. But the only way it makes sense to fire Fox is if Manning retires first.

 

My guess is the only way Fox would be gone would be if that was what Manning wanted to happen and I doubt that would be the case. Assuming the Broncos want Manning to come back, I doubt they would make a move without at least seeing what he thought about it. There's a difference between that and asking his permission. Elway hand-picked his final coach.

 

Marinelli is a free agent and is rejoining Lovie in Tampa.

With yesterday's loss, Jason Garrett is also a free agent, but Garrett has nowhere else to go and should re-up with Jerry. Unless Denver makes a move ...
