This would seem to leave the Pats with one open roster spot.
Would be nice if this was a sign that Cole Strange was ready to return (or less likely, Caedan Wallace)
They wouldn't need to open up a slot for either to return to practice/start the 21 day window.
Sure. But Barmore practiced for the first time on a Thursday and then was playing in a game three day later
If the team wanted to use the full 21 day window then obviously there's no need to release someone now.
We'll know when knew
They may actually have two open spots... they released M. Wilson Monday. So maybe @Eric Fernsten's Disco Mustache - you have a point, maybe both are good to return this week. Seems odd roster management to me, but that's why I am here in my dad's attic.
Wilson was paired with activating Austin so a net neutral roster spot why
My wife is an alumna of Wagner and we live here in Staten Island. I hope Titus Leo is the next Kyle Van Noy and stays with the team for many seasons to come.

Raiders sell two minority stakes worth 15% of the team. This is in addition to the 10% purchased by Brady’s group last year. Is Davis running low on cash or something?

If Davis didn't inherit the team, there is no way he makes the ownership cut with his wealth outside the value of the Raiders franchise. I'd bet he is one of the most non-liquid owners in all of the big 4 pro sports.
Presumably that chart includes the pro-rated share of each owner's portion of the team in question, no? Or are those numbers not including the team's value?
Yeah, Davis' net value at 2.3 B included the Raiders being valued at.... 2.295B or something.
The whole bottom of that list is people who bought NFL teams cheap a long time ago and it is the vast majority of their wealth.
That's what I thought but Mike Brown gave me pause. The Bengals are valued at $4.7B per Sportico.
But you are right about initial purchase price. Brown's father bought the Bengals in 1967 for $7.5million.
I don't know the source, but my guess it that they have too low a valuation on the teams. Because Davis is well below what most people value the Raiders at.
All I could guess is that the team's valuation (i.e. price on the open market) won't necessarily take into consideration any debt service. And it wouldn't take into consideration any personal liabilities for the owner. So Davis (or Brown) might be
up to his neck in debt using the team as collateral.
fyi, the net worth chart, which was tweeted by Kleiman, correlates to this story

Danny Dimes gave a farewell speech today. I guess they've made clear he won't see the field again as a Giant. He apparently was lining up as a scout team safety today.
As bad as he is, I think he's better than quite a few of the bad QBs out there. I assume he'll be someone's backup next year.

His mom is still alive, and she also inherited part of the Raiders from Al Davis apparently according to that report E5 Yaz posted. So that might just represent Mark's portion that he inherited.
This is weird. He's on the roster, right? If Devito and Lock get injured they are not going to put Jones in?
Nope. I suspect he's going to be a healthy scratch the rest of the year.

Jones has a $27M injury guarantee if he fails a 2025 physical. Giants aren’t going to risk that. He’s done with the NYG.
But he's lining up as a scout team safety! I'm sure you're right but that's a strange report.
Jones seems like a good egg. He just couldn't stay healthy and consistent. He'll have a long tail to his career as a backup if he wants it. Maybe a chance to compete for a starting role for a team in QB purgatory in 2025.
I don’t think Jones is a good quarterback but I think he’s probably one of the 32 best QB’s in the league at any given point. He should find work somewhere as a starter albeit not one any team wants to commit to. He could have a Brissett/Minshew type career or perhaps even a mini renaissance like a Geno Smith
The 2025 draft QB class doesn't seem to be particularly strong, especially in comparison to this year's batch. A QB needy team that doesn't want to take the risk on Beck/Sanders/Ewers/Ward/? will possibly look to acquire Jones as a placeholder for a future QB, a la Cam Newton in '20, Sam Darnold, Geno, etc.
Per the statement by Mara, Jones requested it. WFAN has been hammering Jones this year and guy clearly wanted out.
This was discussed on Evan & Tiki on WFAN yesterday. The reason to hold onto him was purely about being able to split next year's cap hit across two years via the June 1 designation. OTOH, cutting him now allows them to build some good will as it will allow Jones the possibility of getting picked up by someone now for the stretch run. I'd have to think that almost every team would improve the status of their backup QB by getting Jones.
Who do I have to pay to see Daniel Jones lead the Cowboys to a win against the Giants on Thanksgiving?

Apparently most places have the 3rd QB doing it for walkthroughs
I'm sure the combination of the Cowboys leaky line, the Giants pass rush, and Jones' difficulties with dealing with pressure would make that likely.
If the Dolphins were interested, I'd go there if I were Jones. They need an upgrade at backup QB and still have a chance to make the playoffs. The Cowboys have about as much chance of making the playoffs as the Giants do.
Though if you're paying him nothing you don't have to be afraid of QB runs, and he's always been very good at those.

Broncos play the Colts in Denver the Sunday before, then play at the Bengals the following Sunday.
Chargers play the Bucs in LA the Sunday before, then play at the Patriots the following Sunday.

I agree with this. For Miami, it gives them a good-ish backup (way better than what they currently have) to Tua, and for Jones, there's a very realistic chance he ends up as their QB because of Tua's concussion issues. Plus he'd have crazy great weapons to throw to there. Plus...Miami is nicer than New Jersey.
