Ravens chances of keeping DC Mike Macdonald dwindle after Ben Johnson stays with Lions

Two head coaching vacancies remain (Commanders-Seahawks) ahead of this week’s NFL Pro Bowl, and Mike Macdonald could be the top choice for both teams after Ben Johnson’s announcement.

The Lions offensive coordinator has removed his name from interest for the two remaining jobs, choosing to run it back with the Detroit Lions after reaching the NFC title game.

With Johnson bowing out, Baltimore will likely lose their offensive coordinator unless something outrageous occurs.

#Lions OC Ben Johnson informed the #Seahawks and #Commanders that he’s staying in Detroit, per sources.

Johnson is still only 37 and will be a hot head coaching candidate again next year. But first, he wants to take another shot at bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Detroit. pic.twitter.com/lPg2Po33sx

Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn could be the answer for Seattle or Washington.

In contrast, Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik is another rising name and could be a candidate for both jobs as well.
