This February, more than 300 college football players will gather in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine, one of the most important events on the road to the NFL Draft. Executives, coaches, scouts, and medical staffs from all 32 NFL teams will be in attendance to evaluate the nation’s top draft-eligible prospects through on-field drills, interviews, and medical testing.
Before the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline, NFL teams must designate any Franchise or Transition Players for the upcoming season.
Beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET on March 9 and running through 3:59:59 p.m. ET on March 11, NFL teams are allowed to contact and negotiate with the certified agents of players set to become unrestricted free agents. These players’ 2025 contracts officially expire at 4:00 p.m. ET on March 12, when the new league year begins.
Over the weekend, it was announced that Buffalo hired one of the hottest names in the DC market, Jim Leonhard. Leonhard spent the last two seasons with the Denver Broncos, starting as their Defensive Backs Coach and Pass Game Coordinator before being promoted to their Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Pass Game Coordinator in 2025.
The Buffalo Bills announced Tuesday morning that they will promote Offensive Coordinator Joe Brady to Head Coach. The 36-year-old play caller moved from Quarterbacks Coach to interim Offensive Coordinator, to full-time Offensive Coordinator, and is now the 21st Head Coach in organization history.

Joe Brady chose experience and familiarity when selecting his Offensive Coordinator, and I am all for it. Pete Carmichael was announced as the first-year head coach's new OC on January 30th. I will be honest, I did not know who this was leading up to the announcement. I was hearing the flashy names like Davis Webb and some familiar (to me) names like Anthony Lynn and Brian Daboll (never believed this was happening).
