According to league sources, the teams have spent over a billion dollars on fired coaches and front-office executives over the last five years.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been wasted recently by teams that may need to act more patiently and less hastily according to the message delivered by the league this past week.
According to sources, the officials of the National Football League wrote individual spread sheets for each team, the employees they fired, and the costs of the team. The league wanted the teams to see the costs of instability and the employees that they paid for.
The league is cautioning teams to guard against future costs this year, as costs have begun piling up.
Matt Rhule had four years left on his contract.
Frank Reich was fired by the Colts with four years left on his contract extension.
Jon Robinson had four years left on his contract when he was fired by theTitans.
The firings this season will not be the last because the league has an average of seven head coaching changes a year.
The National Football League is trying to cut back on the amount of money it spends on firing people in high-profile positions.
The Giants are paying three different head coaches, and their respective coaching staffs, this year alone: Pat Shurmur, who was fired in 2020 just two years into a five-year deal, and Joe Judge, who was fired this January after only two years into a five-year
The Raiders and Saints had head-coaching vacancies after they resigned, as did seven other teams, including the Broncos and Texans.
