Rejoice! Everyone rejoice!
Looks like Josh Harris is saving up for Tyrese Maxey’s extension:
Ben Johnson was not the head-coaching lock that people thought and his asking price spooked some teams, per sources. https://t.co/cFl2FPBtcY

BURN!
Ben Johnson informed the Commanders and Seahawks today. The reason, I’m told: He wants to win a Super Bowl. https://t.co/DftoKs5iQQ

Be honest though, would you be able to tell this guy you’re leaving?
And this won’t just have ripple effects for this season. This should be music to your ears if you’ve abandoned all hope in Nick Sirianni. One of the best candidates in the NFL will be available next year if shit in Philly hits the fan. Now Johnson gets another year of play calling under his belt in a tougher NFC North and even tougher schedule than this year. Imagine DeVonta Smith with this route tree:
You just gotta hope it’s not the Cowboys opportunity he’s eyeing.
