Win or lose Sunday, Cowboys heading into an offseason of major change
A Dallas Cowboys (7-8) season that started with promise has been reduced to this: Beat the Washington Redskins (3-12) on Sunday and hope the New Yotk Giants (4-11) beat the Philadelphia Eagles (8-7).

Cowboys' Jason Witten says he'll decide on future quickly after season
Witten returned to the Cowboys in 2019 after spending one year as ESPN's "Monday Night Football" analyst, signing a one-year deal. He has started every game this season and is third on the team in catches with 59 for 505 yards and four touchdowns.

Sources: Jaguars to dismiss coach Doug Marrone after finale

The Jacksonville Jaguars will dismiss head coach Doug Marrone after Sunday's regular-season finale, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini on Saturday.
A coaching change would come on the heels of Khan ousting Tom Coughlin, the team's executive vice president of football operations, on Dec. 18. Marrone has a 21-28 record in three seasons with the Jaguars, which includes a 10-21 mark since winning the AFC South with a 10-6 record in 2017 and an appearance in the AFC title game. The Jaguars are 5-10 heading into Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

In 2017, Marrone's first full season at the helm, the Jaguars won their first division title since 1999 and made their first playoff appearance since 2007. They beat Buffalo at home in an AFC wild-card game before upsetting Pittsburgh on the road in a divisional game to reach the AFC Championship Game at New England.
 
Source: Ravens, Marcus Peters reach 3-year, $42M extension
Peters has a made a huge impact during the best season in franchise history since being acquired from the Los Angeles Rams in October. He would've been the top free agent after the season for the Ravens (13-2), who have the best record in the NFL and have clinched the top seed in the AFC playoffs. The extension includes $32 million guaranteed.

Source: Texans ink LB Whitney Mercilus to 4-year, $54 million extension
Mercilus, Houston's first-round pick in 2012, was set to become a free agent during the offseason. He'll be entering his age 30 season in 2020 but is still producing at a high level. The deal includes $28.5 million guaranteed.

Bucs' Jameis Winston becomes 1st QB with 30 pass TDs, 30 INTs in a season
In his final case to earn a contract extension for next year, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was pick-sixed by Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones on the first play of overtime, making him the first player in NFL history to throw for at least 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in a season. Jones' teammates swarmed him in the end zone to celebrate as the Falcons won 28-22 to match the Bucs' 7-9 record. Winston also became just the eighth quarterback in NFL history to reach 5,000 passing yards, joining Dan Marino, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Matt Stafford, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethisberger and Patrick Mahomes. His seven pick-sixes this season and 24 interceptions in home games are NFL records.

Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey becomes 3rd player with 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in a season
Carolina Panthes running back Christian McCaffrey joined Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk as the only players to have 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season. McCaffrey came into the season finale against the New Orleans Saints needing 67 yards receiving to reach the milestone, first achieved by Craig in 1985 and later by Faulk in 1999. He is just the fourth running back since the AFL-NFL merger to have a 1,000-yard-receiving season, joining Faulk, Craig and Lionel "Little Train" James. The former Stanford star came into Sunday's game with an NFL-best 2,294 yards from scrimmage, well ahead of Cleveland's Nick Chubb (1,730).







 
Sources: Redskins set to hire Ron Rivera as coach; fire president Bruce Allen
The Redskins hope the moves can revive a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in 14 seasons and faces plummeting attendance. Rivera becomes the seventh head coach hired by owner Dan Snyder. Because Rivera, 57, is a minority candidate, the Redskins could fulfill the Rooney Rule immediately. Carolina fired Rivera o Dec. 3 with a 5-7 record, and he was viewed as a strong candidate for any opening.

Browns fire coach Freddie Kitchens after 1 season, 6-10 finish
The Haslams have now gone through six head coaches, including interims, since buying the team in 2012. Cleveland will be hiring its 12th head coach since returning to the NFL in 1999.

Eli Manning hasn't made retirement decision, but doesn't want to be a backup
ElI Manning is contemplating retirement. If he does return, it almost certainly will not be with the New York Giants. Manning, who turns 39 on Friday, has spent all 16 of his professional seasons with the team that traded for him during the 2004 NFL draft. But he isn't interested in being Daniel Jones backup next season.Retirement is a much more realistic possibility for Manning after 236 career games and two Super Bowl MVPs. He admitted that he needs to determine how much quality football he still has left in his body. Manning started four games and threw six touchdown passes and five interceptions this season.

Dolphins part ways with OC Chad O'Shea, two other assistants
The Miami Dolphinshave parted ways with offensive coordinator Chad O'Shea after one season, the team announced Monday night. O'Shea, who spent the previous 10 years as the New England Patriots receivers coach, was colleagues with Dolphins head coach Brian Flores in New England and one of the coach's first hires. The Dolphins also parted ways with safeties coach Tony Oden and offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo. The O'Shea move is particularly surprising given his chemistry with veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and the offense's significant improvement in the second half of the season. After Fitzpatrick reentered the starting lineup, the Dolphins ranked in the top-10 in passing offense and top-15 in scoring offense
