FOX NFL's Jordan Schultz reports the Saints have hired 49ers assistant HC Brandon Staley for their defensive coordinator vacancy.
Staley was always going to be the pick once New Orleans tabbed Kellen Moore as their next head coach. Moore spent a year as the Chargers' offensive coordinator during Staley's tenure as the team's head coach. The roles will be reversed in The Big Easy. Staley called the league's top defense in his only season as the Rams' defensive coordinator before struggling to get his side of the ball in order with the Chargers. After the team fired him in 2023, Staley joined the 49ers staff. If all goes well in New Orleans, Staley could be in the running for another head coaching job in a few years.

Aaron Rodgers said he's hoping to join a "good team" that wants him if he continues playing in 2025.
On the surface, it seems simple enough, but how many legitimate contenders will be interested in Rodgers as a full-time starter? There are only a handful of teams that look like contenders that may be interested in Rodgers' services next season, which is why teams like the Steelers and Rams have been floated as potential destinations. Of course, the Rams would have to move on from Matthew Stafford before they would consider bringing somebody like Rodgers aboard. With a long offseason ahead, teams will have plenty of time to decide if Rodgers is a fit as a short-term fix or if they'd prefer to stay away from a player whose performance may not be worth the headache that has followed him as of late.
