Cincinnati needs to bolster their offensive and defensive lines. On offense, it's all about the interior. They need better play from their guards. And on defense, they have to find a way to generate more pressure—both on the edge and up the middle. The good news is one of the strengths of the 2025 NFL Draft appears to be the trenches.

Taylor will work under Ben Johnson, the Bears' new head coach, and Declan Doyle, their new offensive coordinator. The Norman, Okla. native and brother of Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor won a Super Bowl in 2017 as an assistant quarterbacks coach for the Philadelphia Eagles.

With success comes interest from others and that's what Notre Dame football is going through right now. Already defensive coordinator Al Golden has left for the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals while general manager Chad Bowden has departed for USC.

The Chicago Bears have inspired plenty of hope with their hire of head coach Ben Johnson, but the 2025 NFL Draft will mark a key point in their journey back to contention.

Mike Zimmer, who spent last season as the Dallas Cowboys ' defensive coordinator, said he will not be returning to the team on new head coach Brian Schottenheimer's staff and likely will retire from coaching in the NFL, according to a report Sunday from NFL reporter Ed Werder.

Hodges is the latest coach to leave the Saints, who are conducting a head coaching search. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak departed for the Seattle Seahawks a day earlier to take the same role. Former coach Dennis Allen, who was fired in November, also recently became the Chicago Bears' defensive coordinator.

Despite suffering significant injuries on the defensive line throughout the season and postseason, and losing expected first-round pick, cornerback Benjamin Morrison to a season-ending hip injury against Stanford, Golden's defense has been one of the best units in the country in 2024.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to hire former Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus as their new defensive coordinator, a league source told UPI on Monday.

New defensive coordinator Al Golden and the Cincinnati Bengals filled some holes on their coaching staff, hiring Jerry Montgomery and Mike Hodges, the team announced Monday.
