Philip Rivers Withdraws from Bills' Head Coaching Search

Monday, January 26, 10:10 AM

Former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers has withdrawn from the Buffalo Bills' head coaching search, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Garafolo reports that NFL head coaching "might very well be in (Rivers') future, just not right now." After initially hanging up his cleats at the end of the 2020 season, Rivers came out of retirement at age 44 and finished the 2025 season as the starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts. He has coached high school football, but has no coaching experience at the NFL level. Buffalo moved on from long-time head coach Sean McDermott after the team's recent AFC Divisional Round loss to the Denver Broncos. McDermott went 98-50 in the regular season across nine years as the head man in Buffalo and led the team to seven consecutive double-digit win seasons from 2019 through 2025. However, Buffalo has not yet broken through past the AFC Championship Game since the emergence of star quarterback Josh Allen. A clear favorite to replace McDermott has yet to emerge, but the Bills appear to be casting a wide net in their search.

Dak Prescott News

Dak Prescott Showing No Signs of Slowing

Thursday, June 11, 5:14 AM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has finished as the QB10 or better in six of the seven seasons in which he's played at least 16 games, with his only sub-QB1 season coming in 2018 in the form of a QB14 finish. While he has missed extended time in three of the past six seasons, when healthy, Prescott is one of the most consistent fantasy quarterbacks. Heading into 2026 with what again projects to be one of the league's highest scoring offenses, another top 10 season is very much in the cards, but at RotoBaller's dynasty QB14, Prescott remains criminally underrated. At almost 33 years old, he is closer to the end than the beginning, but with no signs of slowing for anything other than injury, he is a high-ceiling trade target who could still deliver a handful of league-winning seasons.
