Daronte Jones

MIN Coaching Staff

Saints interviewed Vikings pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach Daronte Jones for their vacant defensive coordinator position.

Jones also interviewed with the Jaguars and Bears this offseason after serving as the pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach for the Vikings for the previous three seasons. The 2024 version of the Minnesota defense held opponents to 6.5 yards per pass attempt, ranking 11th in the league, while also leading the league with 24 interceptions. Jones was first linked to the Saints on Thursday.
Aaron Jones Sr.

MIN Running Back #33

The Vikings and Aaron Jones agreed to move the void date on his contract to the day before free agency, reports ESPN’s Field Yates.

Jones’ contract was set to void this upcoming Monday, but both sides have agreed to allow more time to reach a new deal. Without this contract tweak, Jones’ $3.2 million in dead money would’ve hit Minnesota’s 2025 in full on Monday. Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said last week that he hopes to get Jones back for next season. The 30-year-old running back had a career-high 255 rushing attempts with the Vikings last season and a solid 4.5 yards per attempt. It’s unclear what kind of contract Jones is looking for at this point in his career or how likely the Vikings might be to meet his demands.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #3

NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports that Tank Dell’s ACL reconstruction is now pending, following successful LCL and MCL repairs.

DeMeco Ryans recently told reporters that Dell is “on the right track” in his recovery from a season-ending knee injury. We now know the specifics that prompted Ryans’ comment; two of the three injured ligaments have been successfully repaired. Whether Dell returns in time to take snaps in 2025 remains unknown but these are tangible, positive developments for the young receiver.
Champ Kelly

LV Front Office

Jaguars interviewed Raiders assistant GM Champ Kelly for their general manager vacancy.

Kelly has ascended through the ranks of the Broncos, Bears and Raiders’ personnel departments over the last 17 seasons. He briefly held the Raiders’ 2023 interim general manager position but returned to the assistant role for 2024. The Jaguars announced that Kelly’s interview “concludes [their] virtual interviews” and that they “will begin in-person interviews next week.”
Preston Smith

PIT Outside Linebacker #91

Steelers released OLB Preston Smith.

Smith’s brief Steelers tenure comes to a close. The team traded for the then-disgruntled Packer in Week 10, when Smith made clear he felt out of sorts in the Packers’ newly installed 4-3 defensive scheme. The 32-year-old pass rusher notched 4.5 NFL sacks in 2024 and can likely still contribute as a rotational player elsewhere in 2025. The move saves the Steelers $27.5 million over the next two seasons.
Jon-Eric Sullivan

GB Front Office

The Jaguars completed an interview with Packers VP of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan for the general manager vacancy.

Sullivan has interviewed with the Jets and Titans while also drawing interest from the Raiders. The Packers’ VP of player personnel is understandably in demand, given his team’s successes in building a talented NFC North contender.
Kendall Fuller

MIA Cornerback #29

Dolphins released CB Kendall Fuller.

A concussion and knee injury kept Fuller sidelined for multiple games this season and the once-reliable starter is perhaps entering the rotational phase of his career. Fuller should get picked up by another soon enough and can still meaningfully contribute to an NFL secondary.
Darren Rizzi

FA Special Teams

Broncos hired former Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi as their new special teams coordinator and assistant head coach.

The signing reunites Rizzi with Broncos head coach Sean Payton, who hired Rizzi with the Saints back in 2019. The Broncos already featured a solid special teams unit, ranking eighth in the NFL with an 87.5 PFF special teams grade. Rizzi’s top-tier coaching should only further strengthen it. The assistant head coaching role will help Rizzi develop his leaderships skills and increase his odds of securing a future head coaching role.
Durham Smythe

MIA Tight End #81

Dolphins released TE Durham Smythe.

The Dolphins drafted Smythe with a 2018 fourth-round NFL draft pick and while never cleared 400 receiving yards in a single season, he successfully contributed to the offense’s successes as a blocker. The 29-year-old will likely sign on with another team soon enough, filling a similar role.
Tommy Doyle

BUF Tackle #72

Bills OT Tommy Doyle retired after four seasons in the NFL.

Doyle announced that this is sadly a medical retirement. Doyle suffered ACL tears in consecutive seasons, back in 2022 and 2023. He spent 2024 on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. Doyle notably caught a one-yard touchdown pass in the Bills’ 2021, 47-17 Wild Card Weekend win over the Patriots.
