Patriots QB coach Ashton Grant has decided to remain in New England rather than discuss the vacant offensive coordinator job with the Las Vegas Raiders. Grant now officially will be staying in New England to continue helping with the development of Drake Maye.

: The Eagles are a big-time potential landing spot for Raiders star DE Maxx Crosby, per
@MikeGarafolo


“Big time.. I mean, listen, they tried to trade for Micah Parsons in the division, right? Why wouldn’t they be considered a strong contender for a team that would be like, ‘yeah, get him out of the conference, get him to another team?’ I would put the Eagles in the top three, five, whatever [teams] for Maxx Crosby if and when this thing opens up — and I do believe it’s going to open up.”

Maxx Crosby on trade rumors:

"If I wasn’t doing the right things, people wouldn’t be talking. If you have drama, if you have a losing season, they just try to throw gasoline on the fire. I know what I’m about. I really don’t care what everybody has to say."

Sources: The #Dolphins and two-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher Bradley Chubb are parting ways, making the 29-year-old a free agent.In his two full seasons with the Dolphins (2023 & 2025), Chubb has 20 sacks, 8 FF, and 117 tackles. He should have a nice market.

Sources: Miami’s eight-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill is being released. Hill turns 32 on March 1, is recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ACL, and now will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career.

His release will save the Dolphins $22.8 million against the salary cap.

The game almost has to be in the 8:30pm Eastern time slot on a Friday or Saturday night in the U.S. (12:30pm Sat or Sun in Melbourne).

So, most likely Friday night of opening week (like the Brazil game in 2025); or on the Friday of Thanksgiving week with a bye the prior week.
Aha, Friday and Saturday of opening week are prohibited by the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 as the Friday after Labor Day will be the second Friday in September thanks to a late Labor Day this year. However, the game WILL be in week 1. So, it'll have to be on Wednesday or Thursday:

From The Athletic:
The NFL will play its first game in Melbourne, Australia, between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. With Friday or Saturday scheduling prohibited, that game will be played on Wednesday or Thursday of opening week. Whichever day remains open is when the Seattle Seahawks will host their season opener as the defending champs.

Sunday is not a feasible option for the Melbourne game, given the significant travel distance and turnaround to Week 2. Eastern Time in the U.S. is 14 to 16 hours behind Melbourne time, depending on daylight savings, and travel to Melbourne from the West Coast is about a 15- to 16-hour direct flight. The league is eyeing a start time between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET for the September game, which would be 10:30 or 11 a.m. the next day in Melbourne.

The benefit of hosting the Melbourne game on Wednesday would be giving the 49ers and Rams extra recovery time for Week 2, but it would also change the tradition of the defending Super Bowl champs opening the season. These factors are continuing to be discussed.

The #Panthers have re-signed 40-year-old long snapper JJ Jansen to a one-year deal, bringing him back for his 18th season.

Jansen has played in all 277 possible games in his career with Carolina.

Looking like he knows KM will not be here
