JOSH ALLEN GIVES "100% SUPPORT" TO JOE BRADY IN FIRST STATEMENT SINCE HIRING

The Buffalo Bills have promoted Joe Brady to head coach on a 5-year deal. Discover why Josh Allen is his biggest supporter.

Josh Allen gives "100% support" to Joe Brady in first statement since hiring
Joe Brady signs a five-year deal as the Buffalo Bills' new head coach today

The Buffalo Bills made it official Tuesday: Joe Brady is their new head coach. He signed a five-year deal and steps in for Sean McDermott, who lost his job after the Bills bowed out of the playoffs again.

Brady’s only 36, and now he’s running the show at a huge moment for Josh Allen and the whole franchise.

Brady got to Buffalo in 2022 as the quarterbacks coach, then moved up to offensive coordinator during the 2023 season.

Allen took off once Brady started calling the plays. In 2024, the Bills put up 30.6 points per game, and in 2025, they averaged 28.3—right near the top of the league. Allen snagged MVP honours in 2024 with Brady by his side.

Of course, social media dug up Josh Allen’s comments about Brady from January 2025, thanks to MLFootball on X.

But reading the whole thing, Allen was clearly joking. He had said Brady would make a terrible head coach and that teams should just steer clear of him.

Actually, Allen’s full comments showed just how much he supports Brady. At that January 2025 press conference—when other teams were sniffing around—Allen got asked about Brady’s impact in Buffalo.

“Nothing. He hasn’t done anything for us. Teams should stay away from him,” Allen said with a smirk.

Then he got serious. He talked about how Brady jumped in midseason and changed everything. He called Brady one of the most positive people in the building, said he’s always bringing energy, and that the team loves how genuine he is.

“It’s not easy to switch play-callers midyear, and he came in, and from that day on, if you look at our splits, the success that we’ve had as a team is noticeable,” Allen said. “He’s one of the most positive guys in the building. He’s always got juice and energy for the guys. I think that’s something that we love and appreciate about him. He’s as real as they come.”

Brady’s never been a head coach before, but he’s put in eight years around the NFL. He learnt from Sean Payton in New Orleans, called plays for LSU’s 2019 championship offence, and had a run as Panthers offensive coordinator before they let him go late in 2021.

The Bills cast a wide net, interviewing nine candidates. They talked to former Giants coach Brian Daboll, Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, and even Philip Rivers. Rivers backed out three days after his interview.

Buffalo’s playoff heartbreaks aren’t exactly a secret. Their last three playoff exits? All by three points. McDermott made the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons, but the Super Bowl always slipped through his fingers.

Now it’s Brady’s turn to chase what McDermott couldn’t finish. Allen’s heading into year nine and turns 30 in May. He’s locked in through 2030, so Brady’s got some time to build something real with him.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES TRADE JAREN JACKSON JR. TO UTAH JAZZ IN 8-PLAYER BLOCKBUSTER

The Memphis Grizzlies have traded Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz, creating a record $28.8 million trade exception for 2026.

Grizzlies finalise Jaren Jackson Jr. deal

The Memphis Grizzlies turned heads on Tuesday, pulling off a blockbuster trade that sent two-time All-Star and former Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr to the Utah Jazz. Along with Jackson, the Grizzlies shipped out Vince Williams Jr, John Konchar, and Jock Landale. Coming back their way: Walter Clayton Jr, Kyle Anderson, Georges Niang, and, maybe the most important part, three future first-round picks.

And honestly, it feels like Memphis isn’t done stirring the pot. Inside the organisation, they see Zach Edey and Cedric Coward as the future. Both went late in the lottery in the past two drafts, and the Grizzlies landed some value in the second round this year, too, grabbing Jaylen Wells and Cam Spencer.

All this movement means Ja Morant’s future in Memphis suddenly looks shaky. He’s been the face of the franchise since they took him No. 2 overall back in 2019. When he’s healthy, he’s electric—no question. But injuries and off-court drama have slowed him down, and now, with the trade deadline closing in, the Grizzlies are openly shopping him. Teams around the league are watching.

There’s another wrinkle here: by dealing Jackson, Memphis created a massive trade exception—$28.8 million, the biggest in NBA history, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks and Shams Charania. It’s a huge chess piece. With that exception, the Grizzlies can absorb big, ugly contracts from other teams in exchange for more draft picks. Think of what the Thunder did a few years back—stockpiling picks by taking on bad deals until they rebuilt into a contender.

Now, you’ve probably heard Giannis Antetokounmpo’s name floating around in trade rumours. He hasn’t officially asked out of Milwaukee, but everyone in the league expects something to happen soon. Teams like the Timberwolves and Knicks are circling. The Grizzlies? They’re not likely to chase Giannis directly. But with that trade exception, they could play a big role as a third team—taking on salary dumps or unwanted contracts, collecting more picks, and helping another franchise pull off the Giannis blockbuster. Memphis just put itself squarely in the middle of the NBA’s hottest rumour.

KLINT KUBIAK SNUBS NFL RIVALS TO LEAD RAIDERS’ NEW ERA UNDER TOM BRADY

The Las Vegas Raiders are zeroing in on Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak as their next head coach, with Tom Brady leading the search.

Klint Kubiak is set for the Raiders as Seahawks coach faces the New England Patriots

The Las Vegas Raiders are in the middle of a huge shakeup right now. Klint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, is set to become their new head coach—and honestly, he’s nothing like Pete Carroll.

Kubiak’s still in his 30s, calling plays on offence, while Carroll just wrapped up last season as the NFL’s oldest head coach. The Raiders had their eyes on Ben Johnson previous year, but when he decided to take the Bears job, they turned to Carroll instead.

This time, Las Vegas seemed to have that same level of interest in Kubiak, but they had to wait things out because Seattle was still in the playoffs. Tom Brady, who’s a minority owner with the Raiders, clearly played a big part in picking the new coach.

Since nothing’s official until after the Super Bowl, Brady can’t come right out and talk about Kubiak joining the team. Still, he didn’t hold back when it came to sharing what he liked about the guy.

“Klint’s played to his team’s strengths. Last week, he did a ton of good things against a really strong Rams defence,” Brady said on the “Let’s Go!” podcast. “That’s what it took for them to win. The Rams are a tough team. That game in Seattle could’ve gone either way... Seattle really had to play a complete game in all three phases to pull it out, and they’ll need to do the same this weekend in Santa Clara.”

Brady also talked about Fernando Mendoza.

Another big reason the Raiders’ coaching job is so appealing? They’ve got the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Everyone expects them to grab Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

Brady doesn’t have to be secretive about it—nobody’s jumping ahead of them in the draft. He was pretty open about how much he likes Mendoza.

“What do I value most? When I see him, he’s always talking up his teammates. He wins the Heisman, and he’s giving credit to everyone else,” Brady said. “That’s the kind of attitude you want in a leader.”

Kubiak focused on the Super Bowl, not the job switch.

Kubiak’s career is about to take off, but right now, he’s locked in on trying to win his first Super Bowl. So, he isn’t ready to talk about the Raiders just yet.

“I’m coaching the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, and that’s all I’m thinking about,” Kubiak told reporters on Monday. “I’m just excited for this week and this game.”

Not everyone in Seattle is thrilled to see Kubiak go. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had nothing but praise after working with him this year.

“He was unbelievable,” Darnold said Monday. “The stuff I picked up from Klint—just with schemes, and then learning from him as a coach and a person—the grit. He’s up before the sun, gets to the facility at 4 or 4:30, and leaves later than anyone. The guy just grinds. He loves football, and he’s always straight with his players. I know I really appreciated that, and so did the rest of the guys.”
