"Blue Bloods" Season 7 spoilers note on the possible promotion of Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) as the Commissioner in New York City should Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) decide to step down. For a while now, there have been speculations surrounding Selleck's status in the CBS series.

Rumors surrounding Selleck's casting status began since the actor took a long while before renewing his contract for "Blue Bloods" Season 7. The actor only signed the contract on the same day as the first production day for the current season of the show, which led to speculations that Selleck is already thinking of leaving the show.

If Selleck leaves "Blue Bloods," then this would definitely shake up things in the CBS drama. As Carter Matt reports, this would leave the post for the next in command in New York City open.

This leaves the show with two possible options: hire a new actor to take up the position or get Danny promoted. As of writing, Selleck has not given any indications of leaving "Blue Bloods," so fans can still rest easy for the time being.

Meanwhile, "Blue Bloods" Season 7 spoilers from Yahoo! TV indicate that in the episode titled "Lost Souls," Danny and Baez will be working on a murder case. Robert Sean Leonard will be starring in the upcoming episode as the murder suspect, Charles Beard.

Anthony will also find his hands tied when Erin asks him for a favor to wear a wire. "Blue Bloods" spoilers tease that Erin will do this to catch his friend.
