With the last set of announcements, what Front Office and Coaching positions are still open to fill? Any rumors ?

The Chiefs are still looking, for one team, and I imagine the Browns will be looking for scouts.

Gotta keep up with Reiss's Pieces man its good stuff updated daily usually with news, analysis, videos, and more.

"As for the tight ends and receivers openings, those appear to be spots that Belichick fills externally."

More @ Coaching staff analysis

For all intents and purposes, just wide receivers and tight ends.

Can these positions have a combined coach or can one or the other be coached with another group? Seems like TE could be coached with the O-Line and WR's, not necessarily needing a TE coach.

Well, that hasn't happened recently. In 2001, Weis (technically OC/RB from when Rehbein was still there, but essentially OC/QB) and Ned Burke (OCA) shared responsibilities for the RBs. Jeff Davidson was Ass. OL/TEs for awhile in the Carroll/early Belichick eras. But I don't remember one coach doubling up like that.
