Broncos Coaching Update
The Denver Broncos are making moves under new head coach Joe Brady. They're set to bring in Ronald Curry, the current quarterbacks coach for the Buffalo Bills, to serve as their wide receivers coach. This hire signals Brady's intent to bolster his coaching staff with experienced talent.
Chiefs' Rashee Rice Situation
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is facing serious allegations of domestic violence from his ex-girlfriend. The Chiefs have acknowledged the situation and are actively communicating with the NFL as the investigation unfolds. This development could have significant implications for Rice and the team moving forward.
Raiders' Maxx Crosby and Coaching Changes
The situation with Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby is grabbing attention. Despite Crosby's efforts to downplay any dissatisfaction, NFL insider Ian Rapoport suggests there are underlying issues worth noting.
Crosby's desire to play late last season was thwarted by the team's decision to prioritize knee surgery. This injury complicates any potential trade, likely pushing discussions closer to the draft or even August.
Adding to the intrigue, the Raiders promoted defensive line coach Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator, a move that Rapoport describes as adding layers to the situation. The Raiders are expected to focus on acquiring mid-level free agents to complement their young core, a strategy reminiscent of Washington's approach in 2023.
In coaching news, Matt Robinson has been officially named as the Raiders' safeties coach. Robinson, who was with Baltimore, had plans to join John Harbaugh in New York before Las Vegas secured his services.
The Raiders are also bringing in Rick Dennison from the Seahawks and have shown interest in other coaching talents, including interviewing candidates like Ben Bloom for the linebackers coach role. Omar Young from Iowa is also joining the staff, adding to the Raiders' strategic revamp.
These moves and developments are setting the stage for what could be a pivotal offseason for the Raiders, as they look to build a competitive team for the upcoming season.
