Lions' Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson Declines Seahawks, Commanders Offers

Johnson's decision to stay with Lions surprises NFL, leaving Seahawks to consider other head coach candidates.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has declined offers from the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders to stay with the Lions.
Johnson, one of the NFL's most innovative offensive minds, has led the Lions to rank first in yards per game and fourth in points per game since his promotion to offensive coordinator in 2022.
Johnson's decision to stay with the Lions has been described as surprising, as he was expected to move on after two successful seasons as offensive coordinator.
With Johnson's return, the Lions are now looking forward to the 2024 season with a Super Bowl in mind.
The Seahawks are now considering three potential candidates for their head coach position: Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, and Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald.
