$72 Million? “Keep it!” Potential NFL Coaching Star Grant Udinski Shocks the League by Turning Down Massive Offer from Buffalo Bills — Chooses to Stay with Jaguars to Keep Lifelong Promise

Jacksonville, Florida – January 21, 2026
Grant Udinski, one of the most sought-after offensive coaches in the NFL, shocked the league when he turned down nearly $72 million in offers from the Buffalo Bills to remain with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite Buffalo offering him a long-term head coaching position with significant power, Udinski made the decision to stay with Jacksonville due to the trust and shared vision he has with the team.

Udinski played a pivotal role in transforming the Jaguars into the most powerful offense in franchise history, leading them to become AFC South champions. The offensive resurgence under his leadership turned Jacksonville into a playoff contender, and his work with quarterback Trevor Lawrence earned widespread praise across the league. Yet, Udinski remained focused not on money, but on building something special with the Jaguars.

“I didn’t choose the easiest place or the richest one,” Udinski said. “I chose the place where I believe the work matters and where it can be done the right way.” The defining moment that led to his decision came during a private conversation with head coach Liam Coen. There were no cameras, no slogans, no financial guarantees — just seven quiet words spoken in the coach’s office, enough to shape an entire future.

“We’re building this the right way — together,” Coen said, and it was in that moment that Udinski knew he was exactly where he belonged. Surrounded by a group of people who shared the same belief and a clear path forward, Udinski realized that the Jaguars were his true home.

In a league where numbers often dictate careers, Udinski’s decision serves as a powerful reminder that legacy is not always bought with money. By choosing to stay in Jacksonville, Udinski is demonstrating that he values alignment, vision, and a commitment to long-term success over short-term financial gain. The Jaguars now look poised for continued greatness, and Udinski’s leadership will undoubtedly play a key role in their future successes.

BREAKING: Chiefs Among Top Landing Spots for Former $141 Million Future Hall of Fame Pass Rusher
Kansas City, Missouri – January 2026 Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly one of the top landing spots for Khalil Mack, a former $141 million edge rusher, as he is set to hit free agency in the spring. The 34-year-old player, widely regarded as a future Hall of Famer, is expected to be a top target for teams looking to add a veteran pass rusher to their roster, and the Chiefs could be a perfect fit. After spending the past few years with the Los Angeles Chargers, Mack had a solid 2025 season, recording 5.5 sacks and 39 quarterback pressures. While Mack may not be the dominant force he once was, he remains a top-tier pass rusher and a leader with invaluable experience, potentially providing a significant boost to the Chiefs' defense, which is already formidable. According to Zachary Pereles from CBS Sports, the Chiefs could be a leading contender for Mack’s services. “Mack would be a perfect addition to Kansas City, a team that’s already stacked on offense but could use another strong presence on defense. The Chiefs have the salary cap flexibility to bring in a veteran like Mack without making a major financial commitment, making him an ideal fit for their Super Bowl aspirations,” Pereles said. The Chiefs have established themselves as one of the NFL's elite teams, particularly on offense, but adding a veteran presence like Mack could provide that extra edge needed on defense. His leadership and ability to disrupt quarterbacks would be a valuable asset as Kansas City pushes for another Super Bowl title. However, the Chiefs won’t be the only team competing for Mack’s services. Other teams like the Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, and Carolina Panthers are also interested. The Bears and Bengals have specific defensive needs, while the Panthers have multiple positions to fill on their defense. “Chiefs is an organization with a rich history and a bright future. They have an incredible offense, but I know I can help elevate their defense to the next level. I want to be part of something special and bring that championship mentality to a team that’s already so close to greatness. If I’m given the chance, I will do everything in my power to help the Chiefs win it all,” Mack shared. For Mack, the final decision will depend on the role he’s offered and which team is best positioned to contend for a Super Bowl in the coming years. But as the Chiefs continue their pursuit of another championship, they remain one of the most attractive landing spots for this veteran pass rusher.
