Raiders want Tom Brady
There is no certainty regarding the potential continuation of the career of Tom Brady (QB, Buccaneers) for the moment, however, a club is already in the running to try to recruit him next year. According to SI.com, the Raiders are “factually” in the running to secure the services of the seven-time champion.
“I can say it unequivocally, it’s a fact, the Raiders are in the running,” MMQB’s Albert Breer said Monday. “The Raiders are looking to sign Tom Brady. I’m not saying they contacted him because it’s not allowed, but it’s something they inquire about. »
Dennis Allen will lead the Saints next year… according to himself
To his knowledge, he will retain his position as head coach in 2023. This is what was announced Dennis Allen (Saints) in a press conference according to ProFootballTalk.com. However, he admitted that no one had given him this assurance, and that he is aware that the sporting results of the club are not brilliant. Yet according to him, he has started meetings with Mickey Loomis (GM) to prepare for the future campaign. An option that would close the scenario of a return of Sean Payton to Louisiana.
Allen should therefore take up the challenge of improving his record to 7-10 without a first-round pick in the next draft, and with a very poor payroll.
John Harbaugh: “I have no news about Lamar Jackson”
Lamar Jackson (QB, Ravens) has had a knee injury since Dec. 4, and with the first playoff game looming in a few days, all of Baltimore is panicking. Will the former MVP be on the field for qualifying?
“I have no news to share with you at this time,” John Harbaugh said Monday at a press conference. “We’ll have an injury report on Wednesday – because I won’t have a chance to speak with you until then. We are there. »
“Lamar is in a great state of mind. It’s the case. He works super hard,” added the coach. “He was on the pitch today. I don’t watch the workshops – he is with the coaches and we hope he has improved enough to be able to train soon. That’s all we hope for, that’s for sure. We will let you know as soon as we have any news about this. It’s the truth. »
Still no green light for Tua Tagovailoa either
Will Tua Tagovailoa (QB, Dolphins) be on the field for the playoffs? In any case, he is still not in training. Monday, Mike McDaniel confirmed to the press that his quarterback has still not received the green light from doctors to resume play.

Jeff Saturday: “If I keep the job, there will be change”
Jeff Saturday (HC, Colts) was only hired as an interim after Frank Reich was fired. Yet he has repeatedly said he would like to keep the job, and expressed his wish again on Monday, according to ProFootballTalk.com. But even if for the moment no maintenance is scheduled, the technician already has an idea of his project if he is tenured. He envisages a refoundation, rather than having to manage the vestiges of the previous regime.
“If I keep the job, there’s going to be a change… My way of doing things hasn’t been the winning way so far,” Saturday told the Indianapolis Star.
Quinnen Williams wants an extension before the start of the offseason
Pillar of the Jets defense, Quinn Williams (DT) wants an extension. And quick. The lineman is entering his fifth and final year of rookie contract, and he explained at a press conference on Monday that he wants a new agreement before the start of the off-season programs. And he threatens not to show up for voluntary activities if he does not win his case.
The former 2019 first-round draft pick was selected to the Pro Bowl this year. He recorded 55 tackles, 12 sacks, 28 quarterback hits, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovery in 16 games during the season.
JJ Watt doesn’t give up, he quits
After a season where he still recorded 12.5 sacks in 16 games, JJ Watt (DE, Cardinals) played his last NFL game. But the future Hall of Famer does not stop his career because of his performance, but because he decided to.
“I know I can still do it. I just choose not to,” the All-Pro said per Cardschatter.
Jacobs chats with the Raiders
According to TheAthletic, Josh McDaniels (HC, Raiders) announced on Monday that Dave Ziegler (GM) and Josh Jacobs (RB) have had discussions about a potential extension. The coach added that things “will come in their time”, but that he is optimistic that the runner will return to the Las Vegas squad.
Selected in the first round of the 2019 draft, Jacobs saw his fifth year option denied by the Raiders, which justifies his status as an unrestricted free agent by the official end of the season. In 2022, he ran for 1653 yards plus 400 receiving yards. He scored 12 touchdowns.
The vengeful Lions
After a victory last year, a victory in week 9 and now a victory in week 18, the Lions compiled three wins in a row against the Packers. And they have memory. When Aaron Rodgers’ men lost in November, the quarterback dropped a derogatory remark against Detroit: “We can’t lose a game like that against this team”… Yet the Lions did even more than winning this weekend, they ruined the Packers’ playoff hopes in their own stadium. And some executives of the Motor City therefore took revenge by insulting the staff of Green Bay in the elevators after the meeting.
“We can’t lose three times against this team!,” was launched.
A remark that was not appreciated at all, even if Rodgers had thrown the first stone.
Lions coaching staff just got into the elevators and someone screamed “can’t be losing to that team three times.”
Someone from the #Packers elevator responded “real classy.”
Response back from Lions was “your quarterback said it.”
