Derek Carr will be in New York this weekend
Freshly released by Raiders, Derek Carr can now look for the best base for the rest of his career. According to NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo, this process will start this weekend on the side of the big apple, in the Jets. Finding a pitcher is indeed a priority for the New York franchise and Derek Carr is one of the most attractive profiles during this offseason.
For the now ex-Las Vegas player, the idea will be to find the ideal situation for his next base. He should in any case have many suitors and this visit to the Jets is perhaps only the beginning of a long series.
Eric Bieniemy steps down as Chiefs offensive coordinator to become… Commanders offensive coordinator
The change may seem surprising. Recently crowned with a second championship ring as offensive coordinator of Kansas City, Eric Bieniemy should engage with Commanders in the next few hours according to NFL Network. While he is one of the most courted assistants of recent years, the technician had chained the interviews without ever filling a post of main coach.
In the federal capital, he will therefore remain offensive coordinator, but this position will certainly allow him to come out of the shadow of Andy Reid (who always called the games in Kansas City). This change could also bring him even closer to a head coaching position. In Washington, he will also have the additional status of “assistant head coach”.
The Panthers have their new offensive coordinator
Franck Reich’s staff is beginning to take shape. This Friday, Carolina confirmed the signature of Thomas Brown as offensive coordinator. Arrived from Rams where he was an assistant coach, Brown will have the heavy task of putting the Panthers of attack. For this, it currently has Sam Darnold, PJ Walker et Matt Coral at quarterback.
