He may not actually be under contract next season.

I'd have to look him up, but info on coaching contracts is not easy to find.

I think that is what he is saying, he may be gone anyway.

Looked into it and this is the last year of his deal.

I would be very surprised if he either doesn't leave or completely bends them over a barrel on a contract extension.

He's a free agent (in coach terms) after the season.

I don't think he can because we have a ready made backup option.

DL Coach Todd Wash was on staff with Canales back in Seattle. He's got 30 years of coaching experience including five as defensive coordinator in Jacksonville.

He could also have Morgan get in touch with some of his old colleagues (Leslie Frazier among them). And of course there's likely Pete Carroll...

One other tidbit: Person sees "no chance" of Canales giving up playcalling duties.

Nothing bad about keep Canales.  Great post, Mr. C

Who knows the options? I am just saying Evero likely has all the leverage here.

I think Hendrickson and Phillips would likely want top 5 pass rusher contracts to come here, if I am being honest.

Probably so.  Well, they would deserve it.

Eh....not sure that but I don't think they will be realistic options.

It would be nice but unlikely.

I wouldn't be exactly distraught if he was to leave.

I hope he does leave.  I've not been sold on his defense.

If he leaves for a HC job, we get an extra 3rd comp pick in consecutive years.

They will almost certainly replace him with someone already on staff who is worse in everyway
