Wade Phillips to interview for Commanders DC (signs with Rams)

The Washington Commanders front office was planning to meet with former head coach Wade Phillips about the team’s defensive coordinator job Friday evening, according to a source with knowledge of the search process.

But Phillips, whose defensive acumen was critical to the Denver Broncos’ victory over the Carolina Panthers in last season’s Super Bowl, is believed to be weighing an offer to become defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams. And it’s possible he could accept that offer before sitting down to talk with the Commanders for the second time in three years about their vacancy.

The Rams on Thursday hired Commanders offensive coordinator Sean McVay as their new head coach, signing the 30-year-old to a reported five-year deal.

Phillips, 69, a former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and Broncos, would be at least the third candidate to interview for the Commanders defensive coordinator job since Joe Barry was let go the week after the Commanders ended their 2016 season with a lackluster 19-10 defeat to the New York Giants that shut them out of the playoffs and left them with an 8-7-1 mark.

Wonder if the rams are willing to trade Aaron Donald if they move to a 3-4 :D
 
What exactly is left in Denver for Romo to want to go there? Kubiak retired, Wade gone, Ware is probably going to be his last season if he even plays next season. There's still some talent there though and maybe it depends on the coach that they hire.

As I've said before I believe Romo should strongly consider the Texans, good receiving core good rb #1 defense. I believe they are at least in the mix with Romo as QB because that is their main weakness.

You didn't exactly convince anyone that the broncos lost anyone of importance

No you stated your opinion and just made it sound like it's a fact that everyone agrees to. They've lost their offensive coordinator and coach if you want to act like that's nothing that's your opinion.

They are still stacked on defense!

Texans had the #1 defense without Watt this season.

They also play in the worst division in football. So Romo is guaranteed playoffs in Houston

But doubt the Texans shell out the money for Tony with Brock under contract

I'm quite certain nobody thinks highly of any of those guys you listed...there is a BOAT load of talent on that roster
