Former Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels has agreed to become the New England Patriots offensive coordinator, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the contract was being finalized.

After the Las Vegas Raiders failed to land Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who took the head-coach job with the Chicago Bears, the team needs to pivot to another option. One NFL analyst believes it'll be a three-time offensive coordinator who has a wealth of NFL experience.

Once again, Josh McDaniels will fill the New England Patriots offensive coordinator position. As expected, the team is hiring McDaniels after speaking with him Tuesday, according to CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones. The Patriots made the move official on Wednesday.
