NFL Notes: 49ers, Bears, Broncos, Jets, & Saints

49ers

  • Sources tell John Middlekauff that expect Tom Gamble to return to the 49ers in a role that he has already discussed with GM Trent Baalke

Bears

  • Brad Biggs reports that the Bears have hired Frank Smith as their tight ends coach.

Broncos

  • John McClain reports that Texans DL coach Bill Kollar is taking the same job with the Broncos.

Jets

  • Rich Cimini of ESPN reports that the Jets are hiring former Rams scout Brian Heimerdinger in a front-office role.

Saints

  • Saints owner Tom Benson is being sued by his daughter and grandchildren following his announcement to change his succession plan for the franchise.

โ€œI am extremely disappointed by the lawsuit filed against me today by my daughter and two grandchildren,โ€ Tom Benson said in a statement released Thursday night, via New Orleans Times-Picayune. โ€œTheir allegations regarding my mental health are completely meritless and their allegations against my wife equally unfounded. I will vigorously defend my decisions and the businesses I have built. The false accusations in this suit further support the actions I have taken in changing the succession and transfer of ownership. โ€ฆ

โ€œMake no mistake, I will be back in the office tomorrow morning working hard, as I do every day, to ensure that the Saints and Pelicans are positioned for long-term success.  This State, City and our great fans deserve that. I have instructed my staff to have no comment on this lawsuit moving forward.โ€
