Wow on McDaniels.

Pioli:
I have been told by several reliable sources that the Browns and Scott Pioli have not even talked about money or demands. They had a meeting, but it was more of a getting-to-know-you meeting. I believe Randy Lerner does not want to be turned down and does not want to appear unwilling to wait for Pioli to make a decision. He may feel Scott will never leave the Patriots (which many have told me recently) and he does not want to embarrass his franchise by being turned down. I completely understand his desire to protect the franchise. As for Heckert, it is clear he wants to move on from Philadelphia and gain additional freedom. Heckert has been mentioned for a number of jobs throughout the league, but my sense is that he better take one soon because, even though he has years left on his deal, he does not have the clout he needs in Philadelphia to make a difference.
Once Scott makes up his mind, I expect Eric Mangini to be named Browns coach and George Kokinis, the Ravens’ director of pro personnel, to follow shortly afterward as GM.

From what I’m hearing, the Broncos loved New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who seems to be formulating his staff, including Dom Capers as his defensive coordinator. The Broncos will not take much more time and will make a decision in the next week.
