The NFL’s Most Overpaid Players In 2026 — One From Every Team

The 2026 NFL season is fast approaching, as all 32 teams are getting their rosters reloaded with new talent, new offensive and defensive schemes, and new contracts. Each NFL team has drafted new rookie talent from college and has signed and traded for a good number of veterans to improve its roster. However, each team may have overpaid for certain talent, failed to address other needs to improve their rosters, or taken massive dead-cap hits when releasing a guy who failed to live up to expectations. Here at TPS, we’re going to look at the worst contract at every position in the league right now. Which contracts are the worst for each team in today’s NFL? Arizona Cardinals: Signing Jeremiyah Love to a four-year, $53 million dealApr 23, 2026; Pittsburgh, PA, USA; Notre Dame Fighting Irish running back Jeremiyah Love is introduced before the 2026 NFL Draft at Acrisure Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images The Cardinals drafted Love with the third pick of the 2026 NFL Draft and signed him to a four-year, $53 million contract, which is extremely questionable, as Love hasn’t taken a snap in the NFL yet. Love had back-to-back 1,000 rushing yard seasons at Notre Dame, but the signing is a major risk, as the Cardinals could’ve used that money to address other needs on the team, and are still paying money to coaches and players who are no longer on the team.  Atlanta Falcons: Taking on the dead money hit from the Kirk Cousins contractKirk Cousins (Photo Via Imagn Images) The Falcons are taking a $35 million hit in dead cap money for the next two seasons because of Cousins. He did show flashes during his time in Atlanta, but was mostly inconsistent. This money could’ve been used to sign other talent the roster truly needs, like signing a WR2 to complement Drake London. Baltimore Ravens: Marlon Humphrey’s Contract from 2020East Rutherford, NJ — December 15, 2024 — Marlon Humphrey of the Ravens lines up Darius Slayton of the Giants in the first half. The Baltimore Ravens came to MetLife Stadium to play the New York Giants. Although Humphrey signed his five-year, $97.5 million extension back in October 2020, it’s considered one of the worst contracts the Ravens have, as his production has declined in recent years and currently carries a cap hit of $26 million. Humphrey will be 30 before week one kicks off, and cornerbacks and safeties typically slow down at that age. The Ravens could’ve used some of the money to address the issue long ago by signing a more talented offensive lineman. Buffalo Bills: Signing Bradley ChubbJul 24, 2024; Miami Gardens, FL, USA; Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (2) looks during training camp at Baptist Health Training Complex. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports The Bills signed Chubb to a three-year, $52 million deal, even though he hasn’t made a Pro Bowl since 2022.  The move is very questionable, as Chubb’s production declined in 2025, and he’s also been very injury-prone, as he missed the entire 2024 season with a torn ACL that he suffered at the end of the 2023 season. The Bills could’ve spent less on Chubb and used some of the contract money to address other significant areas of need during the 2026 NFL offseason.  Carolina Panthers: Jaelen Phillips’ massive dealDec 14, 2025; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jaelan Phillips (50) walks off the field after win against the Las Vegas Raiders at Lincoln Financial Field. Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-Imagn Images The Panthers signed Phillips to a four-year, $120 million deal, as it’s been viewed as a massive overpay for a guy who has had injury problems and hasn’t had a double-digit sack season yet. On top of that, the money used in Phillips’ deal could’ve been used for other needs, like a deep-threat wide receiver for Bryce Young to work with. Chicago Bears: Dayo Odeyingbo’s dealIndianapolis Colts defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo (54) walks off the field Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, after losing 24-6 to the Detroit Lions at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Odeyingbo signed a massive three-year, $48 million contract back in the 2025 NFL season, and he hasn’t lived up to his contract, as he had 21 tackles, a pass deflection, and a sack in eight games. If Odeyingbo doesn’t rebound in the 2026 season, the Bears would likely cut him and absorb dead money penalties, which could hurt the team moving forward in 2027.  Cincinnati Bengals: Boye Mafe’s dealOct 12, 2025; Jacksonville, Florida, USA;Seattle Seahawks linebacker Boye Mafe (53) runs off the field during the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Travis Register-Imagn Images The Bengals signed Super Bowl LX Champion Boye Mafe to a three-year, $60 million deal, with many saying it’s overpay for a guy who wasn’t a starter and had two sacks in the 2025 season.  The Bengals could’ve signed Mafe for a lot less and used the money from his contract for other defensive needs like secondary depth. Cleveland Browns: Deshaun Watson’s ContractOct 13, 2024; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (4) against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-Imagn Images So far, Watson’s contract continues to be the worst contract for the Browns, which features an $80 million cap hit if they decide to cut or trade him. Watson’s on-field play has declined ever since he was traded to the Browns in 2022, and has not gotten any better. 2026 will likely be Watson’s last chance in Cleveland, as the team must be prepared to take the cap hit after the season concludes. Dallas Cowboys: Dak Prescott’s current contractSep 14, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (4) looks at his helmet during warmups before the game against the New York Giants at AT&T Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images Prescott signed his current extension back in 2024. However, it features a massive $74 million cap hit for the upcoming 2026 season, which will hurt the team down the road.  They won’t be able to build around him long-term, keeping the team in a middle-of-the-road position, instead of competing for a championship. Denver Broncos: Re-Signing Alex SingletonDec 25, 2025; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton (49) celebrates after the game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images The Broncos re-signed Alex Singleton to a two-year, $15.5 million contract extension, even though his production in the NFL has declined in recent years. Singleton may have led the team in tackles in 2025 with 135, but he has a high missed-tackle rate, at 8.2 percent, and has shown limitations in the pass-rush, as he’s going to be 33 by the end of the 2026 season. Detroit Lions: Signing Cade MaysDec 21, 2025; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Carolina Panthers center Cade Mays (64) runs on to the field before the game at Bank of America Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Bob Donnan-Imagn Images Although the Lions signed Cade Mays is a low-risk move; he isn’t a true franchise starter, as he started in 27 of the 52 games he played so far in his career. He started in 12 out of 14 games for the Carolina Panthers during the 2025 season.  While Mays is good in pass protection, he struggled as a run blocker in 2025, earning a 58.5 grade on Pro Football Focus and an overall grade of 62.4. Mays isn’t a long-term solution for the Lions’ offense, as they need a true veteran center leading the offensive line beyond 2026.  Green Bay Packers: Re-Signing Sean Rhyan Green Bay Packers’ Sean Rhyan (75) blocks Chicago Bears defensive tackle Andrew Billings (97) while providing pass protection during the first quarter of their game Sunday, December 7, 2025 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Similar to the Lions, the Packers had issues at center, but they chose to re-sign Sean Rhyan to a three-year, $33 million extension, even though he’s struggled throughout his career, and started in 27 of 48 games.  Rhyan also has a grade of 59 from Pro Football Focus and is ranked 31st out of 40 centers due to struggles in pass protection, allowing 27 pressures in the 2025 season.  Houston Texans: Re-Signing Ed IngramOct 5, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Houston Texans guard Ed Ingram (69) during play against Baltimore Ravens cornerback Keyon Martin (38) during the second quarter at M&T Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Rafael Suanes-Imagn Images The Texans re-signed guard Ed Ingram to a three-year, $37.5 million contract extension, but some see this as overpay for an NFL guy who’s been inconsistent with pass-protection in the past. The deal also restricts the Texans from signing other needs at the offensive line, even though Ingram had a decent 2025 season. The Texans are making a gamble on whether Ingram’s 2025 season wasn’t just a one-year wonder. Indianapolis Colts: Daniel Jones’ $88 Million ExtensionIndianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Kirby Lee-Imagn Images) Daniel Jones signed a massive two-year, $88 million extension after playing well for the Colts before his 2025 season ended with a torn Achilles.  The extension has been called the worst contract of the 2026 offseason due to the huge risks, as Jones is still recovering from his Achilles injury, and there’s no telling whether he’ll replicate the success he had from 2025 into the upcoming regular season.  Jacksonville Jaguars: Retaining Walker LittleNov 23, 2025; Glendale, Arizona, USA; Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Walker Little (72) against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The Jaguars re-signed Walker Little to a $40 million extension back in 2024, and recently moved him to offensive guard, where he’s struggled, allowing 47 total pressures in the 2025 season. Walker’s salary puts the Jaguars in a tight spot, as it has a $14.49 cap hit, which hurts the team from signing other significant needs like adding a new running back and finding a more talented offensive lineman. Kansas City Chiefs: Chris Jones’ extension from 2024Sep 28, 2025; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Chris Jones (95) takes the field prior to a game against the Baltimore Ravens at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images Chris Jones is the defensive anchor for the Chiefs, but his $158.75 million contract extension, which he signed in the 2024 NFL season, is hurting the team from signing strong Pro Bowl-caliber safeties, as the team has to deal with his $44.85 million cap charge. Cutting or trading Jones won’t help, as the Chiefs would take a $64 million dead cap hit, which would further prevent them from building long-term success.  Regardless, the Chiefs will find a way to be successful in the 2026 season.  Las Vegas Raiders: Signing Tyler LinderbaumJun 10, 2025; Baltimore, MD, USA; Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum (64) looks on during an NFL OTA at Under Armour Performance Center. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images The Raiders made a huge splash in free agency, signing center Tyler Linderbaum to a three-year, $81 million deal to bolster their offensive line for either Kirk Cousins or Fernando Mendoza. However, critics say the Raiders overpaid for Linderbaum, and his contract occupies about 8.5 percent of the 2026 salary cap, as the contract looks to be overpay, when they could’ve signed him for a bit less.  Los Angeles Chargers: Signing Charlie KolarMay 11, 2026; El Segundo, CA, USA; Los Angeles Chargers tight end Charlie Kolar at press confernce during offseason workouts at The Bolt. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Looking to add more pass-catchers, the Chargers signed Charlie Kolar to a three-year, $24.3 million contract, even though his statistical numbers have been pretty low in the few seasons he’s been in the NFL. Kolar is more of a run-blocker, as he provides little to the passing attack. Kolar scored two touchdowns with the Baltimore Ravens in 2025. The Chargers did sign David Njoku to a one-year deal, and he put up better numbers than Kolar did.  Los Angeles Rams: Davante Adams’ two-year deal from 2025Jan 10, 2026; Charlotte, NC, USA; Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (17) during pregame warm ups before the NFC Wild Card Round game between the Carolina Panthers and the Los Angeles Rams at Bank of America Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images Adams is a talented game-changing wide receiver who puts it all on the line. However, he’ll be 34 by the end of the 2026 season, and the team will take a $28 million cap hit from his two-year deal, making him the second-highest-paid player on the roster, even if he remains productive. The Rams could’ve used some of the money in Adams’ contract to sign some younger Pro Bowl-caliber receivers who are just getting into their prime or already in their prime.  Miami Dolphins: Signing Malik WillisOct 19, 2025; Glendale, Arizona, USA; Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis (2) against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images After the Dolphins took on the cap hits from Tua Tagovailoa, Bradley Chubb, and Tyreek Hill, they decided to sign Malik Willis to a three-year, $67 million deal, which is a lot for a guy who was a backup quarterback. Sure, Willis will be coached by former Packers head coach Jeff Hafley and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, but he remains unproven and has had limited success, which will very likely not be replicated in “South Beach.” Minnesota Vikings: T.J. Hockenson’s contractNov 30, 2025; Seattle, Washington, USA; Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (87) lines up before the play during the second half against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-Imagn Images Hockenson signed a four-year, $63.5 million extension during the 2023 season and has seen a decline in production since then. Injuries have affected Hockenson’s performance in recent years, and he has not had a season where he topped 900 yards since 2023. The Vikings restructured his contract, which lowered the cap number to $5 million. The deal remains to be a massive financial commitment for a guy whose production has dipped. New England Patriots: Signing Julian HillJan 4, 2026; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (89) looks on before the game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images The Patriots didn’t spend much on Julian Hill, as he signed a three-year, $15 million deal with the team during the 2026 offseason. However, they’re paying a decent amount to a guy whose more of a blocker than a pass catcher. Hill hasn’t scored a touchdown in the regular season yet, and critics have said this is overpay for the Pats and that Hill’s performance is inconsistent and he has drawn numerous penalties in the league. New Orleans Saints: Chase Young’s $51 million dealDec 8, 2024; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; New Orleans Saints defensive end Chase Young (99) looks up at fans before the game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Young signed a massive three-year, $51 million contract with the Saints in the 2025 offseason, but it’s still a risky deal, as Young has had injury problems throughout his NFL career. Young missed the first three games of the 2025 season with a calf injury, but had 10 sacks to end the year. On top of that, the deal has a cap hit of $9.6 million, which could be used on other defensive talent who can prove to stay healthy. New York Giants: Darius Slayton’s contractDec 22, 2024; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (86) catches a pass in front of Atlanta Falcons cornerback Kevin King (32) in the fourth quarter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images Slayton signed a three-year, $36 million deal with the G-Men in the 2025 offseason, and he has not lived up to expectations, catching 37 receptions for 538 yards and scoring four touchdowns in 2025. Slayton hasn’t had a season where he’s topped 700 yards since 2023, and the Giants would have a $15.9 million cap hit if they chose to release him, making things tougher to sign younger talent.  New York Jets: Garrett Wilson’s $130 Million ExtensionNew York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (5) warms upon before an NFL Week 10 game between the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025. Wilson’s four-year, $130 million extension, which he signed back in the 2025 offseason, has proven to be disappointing so far, as he underperformed in the 2025 regular season, catching 36 receptions for 395 yards and didn’t score any touchdowns.  On top of that, Wilson was on injured reserve due to a knee sprain, and the huge contract limits the Jets from signing additional significant holes on the roster for the upcoming season. Philadelphia Eagles: A. J. Brown’s contractPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (Bill Streicher-Imagn Images) Brown was frustrated with the Eagles during the 2025 season and will likely be traded out of Philadelphia before the start of the upcoming regular season, even though he signed a $96 million extension in 2024.  However, trading Brown away leaves the Eagles with $16 million in dead cap money if the team trades him after June 1. Still, over $16 million is a financial loss for the Eagles, which hurts their ability to sign for other needs.  Pittsburgh Steelers: T. J. Watt’s $123 million extensionOct 13, 2024; Paradise, Nevada, USA; Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (90) salutes the crowd after the Steelers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images Watt signed a three-year, $123 million contract extension in the 2025 NFL offseason, which has a cap hit of around $42 million, making for a massive financial commitment for a guy whose stats have declined in recent years, making him one of the most overpaid Steelers. San Francisco 49ers: Brandon Aiyuk’s extensionSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports) Ayiuk originally signed a four-year, $120 million extension and suffered a torn MCL and ACL that year. Then, he was placed on the PUP list and later on the reserve/left squad list. The contract is disastrous for the team, as it leaves them handcuffed to a $29 million dead cap money, but could be split to $13.35 million in 2026 and $21.247 in 2027 if Aiyuk is traded or released after June 1. Seattle Seahawks: Rashid Shaheed’s extensionRashid Shaheed. Credit: Steven Bisig-Imagn Images Although Shaheed is a special teams player, he signed a $51 million extension during the offseason, which is a lot for a guy with low-volume offense, and limits the team from paying core players to stick around or acquiring new talent.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Cade Otton’s extensionNov 9, 2025; Tampa, Florida, USA; Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (88) runs for a gain during the first quarter against the New England Patriots at Raymond James Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images Otton recently signed a three-year, $30 million extension with the Bucs, and is looking questionable as his receiving productivity doesn’t reflect the value of the contract, as he’s not an elite receiving tight end in the NFL.  Tennessee Titans: Alontae Taylor’s contractJun 10, 2025; New Orleans, LA, USA; New Orleans Saints cornerback Alontae Taylor (1) looks on during minicamp at Ochsner Sports Performance Center. Mandatory Credit: Stephen Lew-Imagn Images Taylor signed a three-year, $60 million deal with the Titans, which many are considering to be one of the worst during the offseason because of his high touchdown allowance in previous years, giving up 14 touchdowns in the last two seasons.  Washington Commanders: Overpaying for Odafe OwehOct 12, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Odafe Oweh (98) celebrates with fans after the game against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Oweh signed a huge four-year, $100 million deal with the Commanders after a decent season with the Chargers. However, many have called the signing one of the worst contract situations in the league, as the Commanders likely overpaid for Oweh’s services, as he had one double-digit sack season back in 2024.

5 NFL Teams That Desperately Need A New Stadium And 5 Whose Stadiums Are Untouchable

There’s nothing quite like an iconic NFL team and the stadium they call home, which blends history, an incredible game-day atmosphere, and architectural significance. Stadiums that will never be touched are considered the “Hallowed Ground” of professional football, as they have a special cathedral-like meaning to the fans who travel from far and wide to witness a game at the venue. However, some stadiums are getting up there in age and eventually need to be replaced sooner rather than later. Sure, some old stadiums will be demolished in the next couple of years, but football fans want to see what the new stadium will look like and what the game-day atmosphere will feel like when visiting. Here at TPS, we’re going to look at a few teams that desperately need new stadiums and the few teams whose stadiums are untouchable. Which NFL teams need new stadiums and which ones do not? Desperately Needs a New Stadium: Washington CommandersNov 10, 2024; Landover, Maryland, USA; A general view of Northwest Stadium during the national anthem prior to the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Washington Commanders. Mandatory Credit: Amber Searls-Imagn Images The Commanders have been playing in Northwest Stadium (formerly FedEx Field) since 1997 and are getting a new stadium where RFK Stadium used to be, but it won’t be open until 2030. In the meantime, the Commanders are still playing at Northwest Stadium, considered one of the worst stadiums not just in the NFL but in all of professional sports. We could make a list of everything that’s wrong with Northwest Stadium, but that’s a story for a different day. The stadium is rotting away, as we’ve seen videos of sewage leaking from a burst pipe in 2021. In January 2022, fans wanted to high-five Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, but a railing broke, sending people to the ground. A lawsuit was filed against the Commanders, but it was settled in 2025, with the terms undisclosed. The stadium has awful seating, as some seats in the 200 section offer restricted views due to pillars blocking the field.  Northwest Stadium is also not the best place for commuting or tailgating, as it’s far from public transit stations and has heavy traffic in and out of the area.  Josh Harris invested $75 million to improve the infrastructure, but the stadium will be demolished, and we as fans won’t miss it.  Untouchable: Green Bay PackersLambeau Field. Credit: Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images Lambeau Field has seen some iconic moments throughout its history: from the Ice Bowl in 1967 to the birth of the Lambeau Leap in 1993. This iconic stadium will forever stand the test of time as the NFL’s oldest continually active stadium. Lambeau Field has undergone numerous renovations over the years, while maintaining its historic look and serving as a focal point of the local Green Bay economy.  Plus, the field has seen some iconic athletes from home and away teams play incredible football on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday nights. On top of that, watching a Packers game in the winter months is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that all fans should experience at least once in their lives. The tailgating scene in Green Bay is incredible, and the fan experience at the stadium is even better. Desperately Needs a New Stadium: Chicago BearsJan 2, 2022; Chicago, Illinois, USA; The video board displays a congratulations for Chicago Bears outside linebacker Robert Quinn (not pictured) for his 100th career sack during the second half of their game against the New York Giants at Soldier Field. Mandatory Credit: Jon Durr-USA TODAY Sports Although Soldier Field is the oldest stadium in the NFL, it opened in 1924. The Bears have played their home games at the stadium since 1971, except in 2002, when they played at Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Illinois, while Soldier Field underwent renovations. Soldier Field can hold up to 62,500, making it the smallest stadium in the NFL, which limits ticket revenue. Despite the renovations done in 2003, Soldier Field is pretty outdated due to a lack of premium revenue-generating spaces, has limited parking, and the field conditions are really poor. The Bears are looking at a couple of potential sites to build a new stadium: Arlington Heights, which is 26 to 36 miles northwest of Chicago, is one area the team is considering, as they purchased 326 acres of land there in 2023.  The Bears are also considering building their new stadium in Hammond, Indiana, which is 24 to 29 miles south of Chicago, and would be pretty awkward for the Bears, since they’re more known as an Illinois-based team. However, Hammond is very close to Chicago, making commuting to the area easier. The downside is that moving to Hammond, Indiana, would alienate passionate Bears fans in Illinois. As of now, it’s not known where the Bears will build their new stadium, but they are facing financial and political hurdles. Regardless, we can’t wait to see what the Bears will do when they begin construction on their new stadium. Untouchable: New England PatriotsDec 1, 2025; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; General view of the stadium prior to the game between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots since 2002, has been one of the NFL’s best stadiums to experience a game. The Krafts, who own the New England Patriots and the stadium, constantly reinvest in the stadium, constantly updating hospitality concourses and adding new technology, making for incredible experiences. The playing surface on the field is considered one of the best, as there’s a radiant heating system, and it uses high-end field turf that is consistently replaced every two to three years to keep the field looking in prime condition.  So many incredible moments have taken place on the field, and even more incredible athletes have played on the surface, from Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Tedy Bruschi, and many more. The stadium features some unique architecture, like the 22-story observation deck called “the Lookout,” which provides panoramic views of the area. The stadium also has a shopping and dining area called Patriots Place, which has a statue of Tom Brady, and is an incredible place to enjoy out on the town.  Because of how incredible Gillette Stadium is, it has secured the NHL Winter Classic in the past and will host World Cup matches.  Gillette Stadium is a sporting venue that’s going to stick around for a long time due to its iconic status and historic moments Patriots fans have witnessed in the stadium throughout the years. Desperately Needs a New Stadium: Cleveland BrownsNov 16, 2025; Cleveland, Ohio, USA; Sunset is seen during the second quarter of a game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field. Mandatory Credit: Scott Galvin-Imagn Images The Browns have been playing their home games in Huntington Bank Field since their return to the NFL in 1999, and will be moving to a new domed stadium in 2029. The stadium has aged poorly, the parking by Lake Erie is not great, and the stadium has faced high maintenance costs over the years. Huntington Bank Field can be seasonally irrelevant, as it sits empty for most of the year, and  Even though Huntington Bank Field is still functional, the Browns’ building a new stadium in Brook Park will be refreshing for the team. The new stadium will be a domed stadium competing for a chance to host Super Bowls and NCAA Final Fours. The Browns’ lease of Huntington Bank Field also expires at the end of the 2028 season, making the move to the new stadium inevitable.  When the new stadium is unveiled, we can’t wait to see what it looks like. Untouchable: Pittsburgh SteelersAug 16, 2025; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; General view of the logo on the fifty yard line before the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Acrisure Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images The Steelers and the Pitt Panthers have played all of their home games at Acrisure Stadium (also still referred to as Heinz Field) since 2001, and it offers fans a premier old-stadium feel and is a true football stadium.  Visitors to Acrisure Stadium are treated to stunning views of the North Shore, the Ohio River, and downtown Pittsburgh during NFL games and concerts at night.  The Steelers Hall of Honor Museum, located by Gate B, features interactive displays and showcases the history of the Steelers’ franchise. During games, Steeler fans create a loud and exciting atmosphere that should be experienced in person. Acrisure Stadium has seen some iconic players mark their legacies on the field, from the likes of Ben Roethlisberger, Jerome Bettis, Troy Polamalu, Ike Taylor, James Harrison, Hines Ward, and many others. The Stadium is also in a great location, where there are bars and restaurants nearby for fans to enjoy excellent meals and drinks during gameday, is very accessible by train and by car, and is a great place for tailgating before a game. Desperately Needs a New Stadium: Kansas City ChiefsJan 18, 2025; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; A military flyover is performed prior to a 2025 AFC divisional round game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images As historic and iconic as Arrowhead Stadium is, the team will be moving out of the old stadium before the 2031 season for a new domed stadium in Wyandotte County, Kansas. Arrowhead Stadium has its limitations, as it’s an outdoor stadium, and the current stadium trend is to build stadiums for year-round events that aren’t interrupted by the elements of the weather. Certain parts of Arrowhead have become obsolete over time, even though the stadium has gone through millions of dollars in upgrades in its lifetime. Traffic getting to and from the stadium is irritating, as there are limited alternatives to driving, and no public train access.  The move to Kansas allows the Chiefs to build a shopping plaza and entertainment district, similar to what the Krafts have created in Foxborough. On top of that, the new stadium the Chiefs are moving into will also make it a spot worthy of hosting major sporting events, like the Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four, College Football National Championship game, and much more. Untouchable: Seattle SeahawksDec 18, 2025; Seattle, Washington, USA; General view during the national anthem before the game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field. Mandatory Credit: Kevin Ng-Imagn Images The Seahawks’ home stadium, Lumen Field, is untouchable due to its becoming a staple for one of the best stadiums in the NFL. The field is very loud, thanks to passionate Seahawks fans; the gameday atmosphere is incredibly memorable, the architecture is stunning, and the stadium provides intimate views of downtown Seattle.  Lumen Field has seen a lot of memorable moments, like the Beast-Quake touchdown scored by Marshawn Lynch in the 2011 Wildcard Round against the New Orleans Saints, Richard Sherman dominating Michael Crabtree in the 2014 NFC Championship game, and the Seahawks’ comeback overtime win over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers to advance to Super Bowl XLIX in the 2015 NFC Championship game. People got to see some iconic Seahawks players craft their legacies on the field, from Shaun Alexander, Marshawn Lynch, Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson, and many others. Lumen Field is near some incredible restaurants and bars serving enticing local cuisine for fans to enjoy. Accessing Lumen Field is also easy, as the Sound Transit Light Rail provides fans with a simple way of getting to and from the stadium instead of dealing with traffic. Lumen Field should be on every fan’s stadium bucket list for a unique and special gameday experience.  Desperately Needs a New Stadium: New York Giants and New York JetsAug 16, 2025; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; General view of a virtual measurement during the first half between the New York Jets and the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Rich Barnes-Imagn Images Even though MetLife Stadium opened in 2010 and is still relatively young, it has not aged well in recent times. Fans and players have rightfully criticized the condition of the turf, as numerous athletes have suffered season-ending injuries on the playing surface, like Aaron Rodgers in week one of the 2023 season when he suffered a torn Achilles injury, Malik Nabers suffering a torn ACL on the field in the 2025 season, and Nick Bosa injuring his ACL on the field, which led to San Francisco 49ers’ head coach Kyle Shanahan criticizing the turf. Numerous NFL players and the NFLPA have described the turf as unsafe, as more players prefer neutral grass to play on instead. Fans have described MetLife Stadium as boring, lacking the luxuries that are found in other current stadiums. Parking is awful at MetLife Stadium, as there are long wait times to park, and the cost of parking is high. On top of that, exiting the stadium is a challenge, as the ramps are thin and can cause zigzagging, which is a nightmare, especially during emergencies. Even though the Bears, Browns, and Chiefs are getting new stadiums, MetLife Stadium is going to stick around for a while.  Untouchable: New Orleans SaintsCaesars Superdome in New Orleans (Photo by John David Mercer/Imagn Images) The Caesars Superdome, the home of the New Orleans Saints, is legendary due to its status as the world’s largest fixed-dome structure and its record for numerous sporting events throughout the decades. Caesars Superdome has hosted eight Super Bowls, six NCAA Final Fours, and has hosted multiple college football championship games from the BCS era and the college football playoff era.  The Superdome has a unique design that still holds up since the stadium opened its doors in 1975, and renovations over the years have made this iconic stadium worthwhile for an excellent fan experience. The views are unobstructed, the stadium is loud during games, and the Superdome is right near the city center, making access to restaurants, shops, and bars in New Orleans an easy breeze. However, a 2021 fire incident posed a slight threat. But on top of that, the Superdome holds a ton of exciting memories for Saints fans, like Steve Gleason’s blocked kick in 2006, and the Saints punching their ticket to Super Bowl XLIV against the Minnesota Vikings in 2010.  All football fans should pay the Superdome a visit for a Saints game or a concert and experience the stadium whenever visiting New Orleans.

10 NFL Coaches That Will Be Fired Before The End Of The 2026 Season

The head coach is the most important position for an NFL team, aside from the quarterback, as they’re the brains behind playmaking, offensive and defensive schemes, helping get free agents and drafted players together, and leading them into battle against opposing teams. When a team has a great head coach, it becomes a playoff and championship contender for years to come. However, some coaches try to keep the ship afloat, but lose control of the locker room and watch the on-field product deteriorate right in front of their eyes. It’s never fun seeing our favorite NFL teams struggle, but someone has to take the fall first, and that person is usually the head coach. Here at TPS, we’re going to look at 10 head coaches who’ll likely be fired before the end of the 2026 season.  Which NFL coaches will likely get booted out in 2026? Zac TaylorBengals head coach Zac Taylor during their game against the Steelers at Acrisure Stadium on Saturday January 4, 2025. The Bengals lead the game at halftime with a score of 13-7. Taylor’s time with the Bengals can be described as a guy who oversaw a cultural shift in the team by leading them to their first Super Bowl appearance since the 1988 season and making them a playoff contender. Then, the wheels slowly began to fall off, and the Bengals have entered the mediocrity stage once again, as Taylor has constantly relied on Joe Burrow to get the job done, even though he’s battled through injuries in recent years. The Bengals have struggled throughout the middle of the regular season and have missed the playoffs for three straight seasons so far. Taylor’s head coaching record in Cincinnati is currently 52-63-1, which is below 0.500. Taylor and the Bengals must earn a record above 0.500 and try to return to the playoffs to keep his job afloat. He was able to save his job by getting defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo fired at the end of the 2024 season. Taylor’s coaching seat is arguably the hottest in the NFL, as the upcoming 2026 season is likely his last chance to get the Bengals back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2022 season, when the Bengals reached the AFC Championship. Todd BowlesTodd Bowles (Photo via Barry Reeger-Imagn Images) Bowles took over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ head coaching job as a successor to Bruce Arians and has brought steady defensive leadership to the team during his tenure. The Bucs have won the NFC South in 2022, 2023, and 2024 under Bowles’ watch, but the team has been average at best and has the advantage of playing in a very weak NFC South. Bowles’ NFL playoff record is also not great, as he has a 1-3 record in the playoffs with the team’s lone playoff win against the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 Wildcard Round as a coach.  The 2025 Bucs finished the year with an 8-9 record, but in second place in the division after tying with the Carolina Panthers (who finished in first) and the Atlanta Falcons (who finished in third), and missed out on the playoffs. Bowles’ defense has played fair to average, but the offense has regressed slowly over time due to changing offensive coordinators multiple times, as Byron Leftwich was fired after the 2022 season, Dave Canales became the Carolina Panthers head coach after the 2023 season, Liam Coen became the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach after the 2024 season, and Josh Grizzard was fired after the 2025 season. Sure, Baker Mayfield was able to play well with the changes at offensive coordinator over the years, but Bowles and the Bucs must find an offensive coordinator who’ll stick around and rebuild the offense for the better. Will new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson get the job done? We’ll have to find out. If the Bucs continue to regress under Bowles’ watch during the 2026 season, don’t be surprised if the team decides to part ways with him before the season concludes.  Todd MonkenTodd Monken. Credit: Lisa Scalfaro / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Although Monken was hired to be Kevin Stefanski’s successor for the 2026 Cleveland Browns, he could still be shown the exit if the team struggles during the regular season. The Browns have a bizarre situation at quarterback, as Deshaun Watson is expected to start, but has struggled in recent years when he’s healthy on the field. Shedeur Sanders is the next man up and has described Monken as bringing new vibes and new energy, according to Complex. The Browns also have Dillon Gabriel and recently drafted Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green on the roster, making the situation a weird period of transition to find who’ll be the long-term starter. On top of that, the Browns are dealing with salary cap issues, which are holding them back from signing true Pro Bowl-like talent to assist guys like Myles Garrett. Monken did have success as the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator, but he may not see the same offensive success in Cleveland, as the Ravens have a more talented roster.If the Browns’ offense earns only four or five wins, it would be another unsuccessful season for them, as the team’s offense has numerous deficiencies that must be addressed.   If the rebuild fails under Monken’s watch, he and general manager Andrew Bailey will likely be shown the exit before or after the conclusion of the 2026 season.  Aaron GlennAaron Glenn. Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images The Aaron Glenn era with the Jets had a disastrous 2025 season, as Gang Green finished the year with a 3-14 record, and is most notably known for Glenn’s sideline dancing during the team’s week three matchup against the Buccaneers for blocking a field goal, but ended up losing the game 29-27. The roster hasn’t gotten any better as the team saw roster stagnation and defensive regression under Glenn’s watch. Glenn took over the defensive playcalling for the 2026 season, and if the unit continues to regress and take more steps backward, the criticisms will fall on Glenn’s shoulders. Even with Glenn being a defensive-minded head coach, the offense under Glenn’s watch has not particularly played well, either, as the team had a quarterback carousel in 2025, as both Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor struggled under center for the majority of the NFL season. On top of that, Glenn fired most of his coaching staff as a last-ditch effort to keep his job safe for the upcoming season.  Jets’ owner Woody Johnson has made impulsive changes when things go south, and if the Jets start the 2026 season on the wrong foot, Glenn could be shown the exit before the season ends.  Nick SirianniNov 28, 2025; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni reacts during the second quarter of the game against the Chicago Bears at Lincoln Financial Field. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images Despite an excellent record, Sirianni is on the hot seat as the Eagles are in championship-or-bust mode, and that places him under a massive microscope. Eagles’ owner Jefferie Lurrie’s patience can run thin if the Eagles continue to have late-season collapses and early playoff exits under Sirianni’s watch. Not to mention frictions in the locker room with quarterback Jalen Hurts because of offensive stagnation. Sirianni and the Eagles did fire former offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo after their Wildcard round exit against the San Francisco 49ers, and have since hired Sean Mannion to be the team’s next offensive coordinator and to fix the system for the 2026 season. If Mannion’s system flops late in the 2026 season, it could potentially cost Sirianni his job, and he would be out of excuses.  In today’s NFL, having a successful offensive scheme leads to championships down the road, or if one slips up, everything drifts backward towards mediocrity. That is the immense pressure Sirianni is under in the city of “Brotherly Love.” Shane SteichenIndianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen talks to press Tuesday, June 10, 2025, during NFL Colts mandatory mini camp at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center in Indianapolis. After the Colts finished the 2025 season with an 8-9 record, Steichen’s coaching seat is starting to feel intense heat, as the Colts have not made the playoffs under his watch. Steichen enters his fourth season coaching the Colts, as this could potentially be his final year coaching the team if he fails to get them over the hump and out of mediocrity in the NFL.  Steichen was hired by the Colts in 2023 because he was an offensive mastermind and a quarterback guru. However, the Colts’ offense has struggled under Sheichen’s watch and has failed to find long-term consistency. Sure, Daniel Jones was playing some of his best football to begin the 2025 season, but the Colts immediately fell apart after Jones’ season ended because of his Achilles injury, which was not a good look for Sheichen. Not to mention the trade for Sauce Gardner is looking like a complete flop, as they surrendered two first-round picks and A.D. Mitchell for his services, which also makes Steichen look bad. If the Colts continue to have more mediocre seasons and losing streaks, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Colts’ ownership decides to make a change at head coach. Dan QuinnAug 18, 2025; Landover, Maryland, USA; Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn looks on from the sidelines against the Cincinnati Bengals during the first quarter at Northwest Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Quinn’s coaching seat is seeing a massive increase in temperature after the Commanders finished 2025 with a disappointing 5-12 record and missed the playoffs. The disastrous 2025 campaign led to the Commanders making a roster and staff overhaul, which puts more pressure on Quinn’s job.  One of those weird moves was moving on from offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, who is now the assistant head coach of the Los Angeles Rams. This move might come back and bite Quinn and the Commanders during the 2026 season Quinn’s Commanders struggled defensively during the 2025 season, which is a terrible look for him, as he wants to right the ship in the Nation’s Capital. On top of that, quarterback Jayden Daniels was injured for a good chunk of the season, and he must stay healthy in 2026. If Quinn’s coaching changes and new roster pieces flop during the 2026 season, Commanders’ owner Josh Harris might consider making a change during the middle of the season. Kevin O’ConnellNov 9, 2025; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell warms up with his team before the game against the Baltimore Ravens at U.S. Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images O’Connell’s seat in the “Twin Cities” is getting warmer, as the Vikings finished the 2025 season with a 9-8 record and missed the playoffs. J. J. McCarthy, who was injured for all of 2024, struggled in the 2025 season, throwing 11 touchdowns against 12 interceptions in 10 games. Because of the lost season, the Vikings fired general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, essentially giving O’Connell organizational control, which is never easy in today’s NFL, as one wrong move in crafting a strong roster can result in disaster, especially with the pressure of having a winning season again for a coach. O’Connell is also 0-2 in the playoffs, as his Vikings teams saw early Wildcard round exits in January 2023 against the New York Giants and in January 2025 against the Los Angeles Rams, respectively.  The Vikings’ making it back to the playoffs after the 2026 season is not guaranteed, as the competition in the NFC North will always be competitive.  If the Vikings miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season, the Vikings’ ownership could show O’Connell the exit and would have to commit to a rebuild for the 2027 season.  Brian SchottenheimerDallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer (Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images) Although Schottenheimer is a good offensive-minded head coach, the Cowboys struggled in 2025, finishing the year with a 7-10 record and missing the NFL playoffs. The Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, as the defense regressed under Schottenheimer’s watch. It also didn’t help Schottenheimer that Micah Parsons was traded before the start of the 2025 season, which was a factor in why the defense struggled.  Schottenheimer brought in a new coaching staff to try to right the ship for the 2026 season. If the new staff fails to help the Cowboys earn a winning season, the blame will be entirely on Schottenheimer. Despite being on the hot seat, Schottenheimer has kept the locker room under control, which is a plus. However, the Cowboys must turn things around in 2026, or the temperature on Schottenheimer’s seat will increase to the point where the team might have to fire him and replace him with someone else. Dave CanalesDec 1, 2024; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales reacts in the fourth quarter at Bank of America Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Bob Donnan-Imagn Images Canales’ time in Carolina has been a work in progress, but he’s on the hot seat because of owner David Tepper’s impatience and his reputation for being impulsive with the coaches he has hired. Despite making the playoffs in the 2025 season, Canales and the Panthers have struggled to post a winning record. All of that could change in 2026, depending on how Bryce Young’s development goes for the upcoming season. If he continues to improve, Canales’ seat will get cooler; if Young regresses in the 2026 season, the heat will continue to build up.  Even though the Panthers play in the very weak NFC South, Canales and the Panthers must step up in 2026 and prove that their 2025 season wasn’t just a fluke. Canales has also been inconsistent with his playcalling and failures in the red zone, which resulted in having offensive coordinator Brad Idzik call plays instead, adding more pressure to Canales’ job. If the Panthers show signs of regression during the 2026 season, Canales could be out of a job before the season concludes.
