Overview
- FOX Sports ranked the six active head-coach vacancies after four firings on Monday, placing the Raiders first and the Cardinals sixth.
- Las Vegas leads the list with the No. 1 overall pick, about $100.8 million in projected 2026 cap space per Over The Cap, and cornerstone pieces such as Maxx Crosby, Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty.
- The Giants are No. 2 due to rookie-contract building blocks including quarterback Jaxson Dart and the No. 5 pick, despite roughly $11 million in projected cap room and GM Joe Schoen remaining in place.
- Tennessee ranks third with the No. 4 pick and approximately $95.6 million in projected 2026 cap space, though candidates must weigh owner Amy Adams Strunk’s recent turnover in top leadership roles.
- FOX Sports highlights hurdles elsewhere, citing Cleveland’s quarterback and cap bind under Deshaun Watson’s contract, Atlanta’s over-the-cap outlook and quarterback uncertainty, and Arizona’s mid-tier cap space despite holding the No. 3 pick.
