Raiders waive QB Carter Bradley

Details
14 July 2025

The Raiders did a little pre-training camp roster trimming on Monday.

They announced that they have waived quarterback Carter Bradley. There was no corresponding move, so there's an open spot on the 90-man roster in Vegas.

Bradley, who is the son of former Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley, played at Toledo and South Alabama before going undrafted in 2024. He spent most of the season on the practice squad before finishing the year on the active roster, but did not appear in any regular season games.

Geno Smith, Aidan O'Connell, and sixth-round pick Cam Miller are the remaining quarterbacks on the roster for the Raiders. Sixth-round pick Tommy Mellot is listed as a receiver, but played quarterback at Montana State.

Jets reportedly reach 4-year, $130 million extension with wide receiver Garrett Wilson

Details
14 July 2025

The New York Jets have locked down wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

The Jets reached a four-year, $130 million contract extension with Wilson on Monday afternoon, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Wilson is now the first player from the Jets' 2022 draft class to receive a contract extension. 

Wilson will average $32.5 million a season, and $90 million of his new deal is guaranteed. He is now the first wide receiver in league history to average more than $31 million per season after his first three seasons. The new deal makes Wilson among the highest-paid wide receivers in the league, too. Only four other players, led by Cincinnati Bengals star Ja'Marr Chase's $40 million a season, now more than him. 

Wilson, who the Jets took with the No. 10 overall pick in 2022 out of Ohio State, has recorded at least 1,000 receiving yards a season throughout his career. He had 1,104 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 101 catches last season, all of which were career-highs.

Despite Wilson's strong start, the Jets have struggled since bringing him in. They went just 5-12 last season and missed the playoffs for a 14th straight campaign while firing head coach Robert Saleh. The team has since hired Aaron Glenn to replace him, and parted ways with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 

Wilson, who has not missed a game remarkably played alongside seven different quarterbacks already in his career, will get to team up with new quarterback Justin Fields this fall. Fields struck a two-year, $40 million deal with the Jets this offseason. 

While it will take more than a new quarterback to break the Jets' postseason drought, locking down Wilson for the next six seasons is an easy move that should only push the franchise in the right direction. Now, the team will look to strike deals with others in his draft class, likely starting with star cornerback Sauce Gardner.

Teddy Bridgewater has been suspended from his high-school coaching position

Details
14 July 2025

The chaos that has come from the crumbling of all walls regarding players getting paid has created a very specific problem for veteran NFL quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

Bridgewater serves as the head coach at Miami Northwestern high school. He won a state championship there in 2024, before he re-signed with the Lions to end the season.

The 11-year NFL veteran has now been suspended.

Bridgewater recently admitted in social-media posts that he paid for Uber rides, meals, and recovery services for players. He asked fans of the team to help cover the expenses in 2025.

Via Walter Villa of the Miami Herald, Bridgewater paid $700 per week for player Ubers. He also (per the Palm Beach Post) paid $2,200 for pregame meals and $1,300 for athletic-recovery services.

While the suspension will placate the "rules are rules" crowd, Bridgewater was making life a little better for kids at a school where 75 percent of them are economically disadvantaged.

The move could put Bridgewater (who is only 32) in play to sign with the Lions or some other team for the 2025 NFL season.

Drafted by the Vikings in 2014, he has also played for the Saints, Panthers, Broncos, and Dolphins.
