Mitchell, 31, spent the last two seasons in San Francisco, appearing in 30 games, but played just 363 mediocre snaps last season. The Seahawks hope Mitchell can help offset the loss of DT Jarran Reed, who was suspended earlier this week.

“Early signs point to Sanders getting to compete for the job, [Deshaun] Watson being stuck on the roster and another quarterback addition in the middle rounds of the draft,” Jackson continues. Guess who is being left out of that quarterback room by omission? Gabriel was reportedly a Kevin Stefanski favorite in the draft process and — our speculation, not Jackson’s — might be traded to Stefanski’s new team this offseason. It’s also possible the team gives us another four-quarterback training camp show.

McDaniel was interviewed during Monday’s Texans-Steelers game. It’s the third head-coaching job that McDaniel has interviewed for this cycle, along with the Titans and Browns. The interest in him as an offensive mind has been more robust than expected thus far, perhaps he actually will get a chance to get a head-coaching gig this offseason now that there are a stunning nine vacancies.

Sheppard’s unit played pretty well in his first season as defensive coordinator despite injuries hitting the unit hard. The Lions finished fifth in defensive DVOA and there was almost no dropoff from Aaron Glenn leaving for the Jets. Sheppard, 38, could be a name that picks up some more buzz before this hiring cycle is over.

They probably want to ask him how it felt to be the only team to lose a game to Brian Callahan this year. Gannon also has an interview on Thursday with the Commanders regarding their defensive coordinator role. Gannon’s market is now “heating up,” if that’s what you want to call it. The deposed former Cardinals coach met with the Cowboys today to interview for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Uiagalelei was elevated to back up Trey Lance in Week 18, but ultimately did not play at all in Los Angeles’ exhibition to tank into the No. 7 seed. He had a 67.0 PFF grade in 69 offensive preseason snaps this past offseason and could eventually become Los Angeles’ backup quarterback.

We at Rotoworld are dedicated to giving you all the Chandler Brayboy and Keni-H Lovely updates we can. Here’s what we know: They both signed reserve/futures contracts after spending all year on the Jaguars practice squad. That’s all we got. More to come later.

Steele hung on the Chiefs practice squad for most of last season and will now get a chance to stick in Philadelphia. With Will Shipley and Tank Bigsby under contract, it’s hard to see Steele making any sort of fantasy noise without injuries ahead of him.

We’re not sure yet if he’ll add a new designation after being spotted in a walking boot after the win over the Jaguars, but Kincaid’s normal status has been “knee” over the past few weeks. Kincaid will likely play through this, but remain limited throughout the week in practice. That’s been the norm over the past month or so, anyway.

He got in a limited practice before hitting the questionable line and being ruled out Sunday against the Jaguars. He’s probably a true question mark at this point to be ready against the Broncos on Saturday, with practice participation being the guiding light here. If all he can do is get in another limited Thursday session ahead of a tag, Johnson probably will sit again.

McDermott didn’t have an actual term for what Allen was dealing with on Monday beyond him being “sore,” so we’re curious what the actual designation will be. We don’t think Allen is in any real danger of missing Saturday’s game against the Broncos, but it’s not surprising that he’d take it a bit easy after Joe Brady used him like a battering ram and he spent multiple occasions in the medical tent in Buffalo’s Wild Card win over the Jaguars.
