Coach News Today — August 11, 2026
Macdonald confirms Seattle's interest in CB Arnold and more — today's coach signal.
The NFL is heating up as training camps are in full swing, and teams are making big moves to bolster their rosters. The Seattle Seahawks are making waves with their reported interest in cornerback Arnold, as confirmed by head coach Macdonald. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are locking in their own talent, with sources revealing a massive $105.9 million deal with Williams. These moves come as teams are fine-tuning their lineups and strategies, with some players making strong impressions. For example, Kirk Cousins had his best day of camp, while Quinyon Mitchell is building momentum.
Injuries, however, are already becoming a concern for some teams. The Detroit Lions will be without Mays for the entire season, and the Kansas City Chiefs are dealing with a knee injury to Pacheco. On a more positive note, the NFL is introducing a new rule that will allow a coach's designee to challenge calls, giving teams more flexibility and potentially changing the dynamics of the game. In other news, former NFL quarterback Carr is joining UCLA as a special adviser, bringing his expertise to the collegiate level. With all these developments, coaches and fans alike have a lot to keep an eye on as the season approaches.
