Report: Tyler Lockett to sign with Raiders on Monday

Details
27 October 2025

The Raiders are bringing in another one of head coach Pete Carroll's players from Seattle.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Raiders will sign wide receiver Tyler Lockett on Monday. Lockett was released by the Titans last week.

Lockett joined the Seahawks as a third-round pick in 2015 and played for Carroll in his first nine NFL seasons. He remained with the Seahawks for the 2024 season, but moved on to Tennessee after being released in March.

Lockett had 10 catches for 70 yards in Tennessee, but his 661 catches for 8,594 yards and 61 touchdowns as a Seahawk all rank second in franchise history and the Raiders are hoping that he can rediscover the kind of production he had while playing for Carroll and with quarterback Geno Smith during his time in Seattle.

The Patriots introduced individual players at home for the first time since the 2001 season

Details
27 October 2025

Mike Vrabel was a player for the Patriots when they decided to do away with individual player introductions before their Super Bowl XXXVI win over the Rams to cap the 2001 season and that tradition held until Sunday's game against the Browns.

Vrabel opted to have the offense introduced before the game, which quarterback Drake Maye said made him a little nervous because he has "literally no swag" but the result of the game showed that it didn't throw the team off too much. The Patriots rolled to a 32-13 win that improved their record to 6-2 and Vrabel said after the game that he hoped to build energy at Gillette Stadium by giving the players a moment in the spotlight.

"Just feel like these guys put a lot into it and would like to recognize him individually," Vrabel said, via a transcript from the team. "Hopefully our fans can embrace that and get excited for them. It's something that I felt like we wanted to do, create some energy early and get them to recognize the players' efforts, and allow these fans to support us, which they did. It was getting loud on third down. We've got to continue to play hard for them so that they cheer for us."

Vrabel was brought in to restore the Patriots' luster after it was dulled in the final years of Bill Belichick's tenure and in a dismal 2024 with Jerod Mayo coaching the team. The team's record speaks well of that effort and Sunday's change to gameday operations shows that Vrabel is not going to shy away from putting his own stamp on anything associated with the franchise.

Jerry Jones not happy with Cowboys' record, will consider trades to make team better

Details
27 October 2025

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is not happy that his team is 3-4-1 eight games into the season.

"I am not happy at all with winning three ball games. At all," Jones said after Sunday's loss in Denver. "Can we play better? Of course we can play better."

Jones said he will consider making trades if they can bring in players who will help the Cowboys contend.

"If I saw a proposition for us to help this team, no matter what this score was today, then I would look at it on the merits of helping this team. And if you're talking about trading for a player or trading a player, I would completely look at it on the merits of the team, both for next week or the weeks after or for the longer term," Jones said. "Today would not affect a decision on trading for a player."

Asked if he anticipates shopping any players before the trade deadline, Jones answered, "Not now, no."

The Cowboys have plenty of ammunition to make a trade, given that they have their own draft picks and the Packers' next two first-round picks from the Micah Parsons trade. General managers looking to trade a veteran player for future picks would be wise to give Jones a call.
