NFL Teams Face Major Changes with Coaching Shakeups and Player Uncertainty
The Patriots, Jets, Panthers, Colts, and Jaguars navigate leadership overhauls and roster challenges following disappointing seasons.
- The New England Patriots fired rookie head coach Jerod Mayo after a turbulent season, marking a sharp decline for the once-dominant franchise since Tom Brady's departure.
- Aaron Rodgers' future with the New York Jets remains uncertain as the team searches for a new head coach and general manager following a 5-12 season.
- The Carolina Panthers are optimistic about Bryce Young as their franchise quarterback but must rebuild the league's worst defense after a historically poor performance.
- The Indianapolis Colts will retain head coach Shane Steichen and GM Chris Ballard despite an 8-9 season, but defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will not return.
- The Jacksonville Jaguars fired head coach Doug Pederson after a 4-13 season and are reportedly considering college coaches Steve Sarkisian and Dan Lanning as potential replacements.
