The carousel is moving, and teams might be ready to strike soon. Let’s predict who the teams will hire and why:
New England Patriots
FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS – SEPTEMBER 08: A detail of the New England Patriots logo on the field during the game between the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Gillette Stadium on September 08, 2019 in Foxborough, Massachusetts. (Photo by Adam Glanzman/Getty Images)
Mike Vrabel: He supposedly wants $15 million a year, and Robert Kraft is offering $10. I think they meet at 12.5 and get it done.
Chicago Bears

Ben Johnson: Johnson likely would prefer not to be in the Lions division but he’s getting a talented group of young offensive players as a head start.
Jacksonville Jaguars

Robert Saleh: The Jaguars defense has been atrocious and Saleh can fix it quickly.
Las Vegas Raiders
HENDERSON, NEVADA – JUNE 10: A team logo is shown above the entrance at the 336,000-square-foot Las Vegas Raiders Headquarters/Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center under construction on June 10, 2020 in Henderson, Nevada. The site will serve as the team’s practice facility and will include three outdoor football fields, a 150,000-square-foot field house with one-and-a-half indoor football fields, a three-story office area, and a 50,000-square-foot performance center.

Joe Brady: A good young offensive mind is just what this team needs. Plus, Brady to Brady has a ring to it.
New York Jets:

Arthur Smith: He’s a boring choice but the Jets need boring right now, considering the disaster this past season.
New Orleans Saints:
Aaron Glenn: A great choice. Knows the city and will have immediate respect of the players.
