I remember when NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi said he was already in contract talks with the Broncos.lol

Four days after the season ended with a playoff loss to the Packers, the Eagles' coach decided that McDermott's two-year reign as defensive coordinator had run its course. But Reid wanted to buy his young protege some time to find another job. So he contacted another of his former charges, who had just landed the Carolina Panthers' head-coaching position.

"When all that was going down, I talked to Coach Reid, who was very candid about it," said Rivera, who was in North Texas for Super Bowl XLV. "He said, 'Ron, Sean's in a tough, tough position. He's following [the late] Jim Johnson.' "

I think that was LaCanfora who had the Broncos thing.

thats what I thought too..maybe LaCanfora said it first?

Now our friend, the NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi has just went live with the news that McDermot is already in contract talks with Denver.

Found the original article. LaCanfora reported it, but he got his info from Lombardi who got it from a "league source" (apparently a crappy one).

I love that the linked article makes it sound like it's a done deal, but then you get this at that bottom...

UPDATE: McDermott has signed with the Panthers according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.

:lol:

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
