Remember, coming out of 2023, Daboll refused to let Kafka interview for Seattle’s play-calling offensive coordinator job under new defensive-minded head coach Mike Macdonald. Then Daboll, after forcing Kafka to return to East Rutherford, essentially stuffed him in a broom closet, fully stripping his play-calling duties.
Based on the Rooney Rule’s language, if the Giants lose one of these two men (Brown or Kafka), they would get a compensatory third-round draft pick in both 2025 and 2026. If the Giants lose both, they would get an extra such comp pick in 2027 — but not a fourth such comp pick in 2028.

Considering a pass rusher at No. 16 as a reach with the players available, Kiper projects a guard to the Cardinals in the first round.
Aaron Glenn has significant ties with both the Jets and Saints. The Jets drafted Glenn, a cornerback, with the 12th overall selection in the 1994 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M. He'd play the first eight of his 15 NFL seasons with the Jets, intercepting 24 passes and returning three for touchdowns while earning two Pro Bowls.
New York Giants OC Mike Kafka is flying in for a second head coach interview with the New Orleans Saints. Why are they so interested in him?
