Berlin in the running to host the NFL
The NFL is in Francort for two weeks. She was in Munich last year. And this may just be the beginning for Germany.
“Dusseldorf, Berlin, there’s a lot of interest here, so I think they’re all possibilities,” Roger Goodell said Saturday in Frankfurt.
The NFL has signed to play a game in Munich in 2024 and another game in Germany, probably in Frankfurt, in 2025. But a contract extension, with other cities on the schedule, seems more relevant than ever.
$85 million layoffs for Raiders
The Raiders marked the week by firing Josh McDaniels and manager Dave Ziegler. An operation at great expense.
McDaniels signed for six years and didn’t last two seasons. It was also necessary to modify the contract of Antonio Pierce, who went from linebackers coach to interim head coach.
In total, ESPN reports that the firings of McDaniels and Ziegler are expected to cost the Raiders and owner Mark Davis $85 million. An amount which obviously does not count towards the salary cap.
Lucky for Las Vegas. Because before McDaniels, Jon Gruden had also been fired well before the end of his ten-year contract, which had already cost the franchise a big ticket.
Suspense surrounding the tenure of Matthew Stafford
Although he did not participate in Friday’s practice, Matthew Stafford could be lined up against the Packers this Sunday. Sean McVay said Stafford would be listed as doubtful for the game despite his right thumb injury. He added that Stafford was not expected to practice all week.
“We’ll take that into consideration until kickoff,” McVay said during his press conference. He is making progress day after day. »
ESPN still reports that it is unlikely to see Stafford on the field. In this case, it would be Brett Rypien who would face the Packers this Sunday. Sign of this probable package: Dresser Winn (QB) was added to the active squad.
Justin Fields on his way home
For the first time since he dislocated his right thumb on October 15 against the Vikings, Justin Fields (QB) participated in training this Friday. Matt Eberflus (HC, Bears) confirmed that Tyson Bagent would start for the third consecutive time while Fields is uncertain.
However, Fields was able to throw the ball again, with a glove on his right hand to grip the ball more easily.
“I’m not fully back and I’m still sore of course. But I prepare like I’m going to play,” Fields told the media on Friday.
Cardinals: Clayton Tune at the helm
Joshua Dobbs sent to Minnesota, the Cardinals quarterback position was played between Kyler Murray and Clayton Tunes this week. Apparently, the star is still not ready. According to ESPN, he has not been activated, and it is Tunes who should start this Sunday’s game against the Browns.

– Evacuated from the field in the first quarter of the Steelers-Titans match, Cole Holcomb (LB, Steelers) is out for the rest of the season. The player suffers from a serious left knee injury according to Tom Pelissero. Holcomb will undergo surgery.
– Doubtful following a shoulder impact during last Thursday’s game, Josh Allen (QB, Bills) was declared fit for the ninth week of the season according to the Bills injury report. Absent from training on Wednesday, Allen took full part in it on Thursday and Friday. The Bills will face the Bengals.
– Barely arrived at the Vikings, Josh Dobbs (QB) will be active against the Falcons. Kevin O’Connell (HC, Vikings) named him as the replacement for rookie Jaren Hall.
– Mike Vrabel (HC, Titans) announced that Treylon Burks (WR) was placed in the post-concussion protocol following Thursday’s game between the Titans and Steelers. Burks lost consciousness after falling while trying to catch a ball.

Patrick Mahomes hot for the 2028 Olympics
Flag Football is coming to the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The NFL wants its players to go there. And the biggest star seems to be following suit.
“I really want to,” Patrick Mahomes told the press in Frankfurt. “But I saw the guys play a little flag football. They are a little faster than me. I know there are no linemen blocking for you. I will be 31, 32 years old. If I can still move by then, I’ll try to go. »
In short
– The Panthers have reportedly spurned advances from at least five teams interested in Brian Burns (DE) during the transfer window. According to ESPN, they were the 49ers, Bears, Jaguars, Falcons and Ravens. But Carolina had no intention of parting with its defender.
– The Jets called the Raiders to try to discuss a trade for Davante Adams (WR) just before the trade deadline. According to ESPN, the Greens had been interested in the receiver since this summer, in order to reunite him with Aaron Rodgers and they were waiting for the right moment to make an offer. The moment seemed perfect while the receiver was unhappy. But Las Vegas executives weren’t interested in Adams leaving. A few hours later, Josh McDaniels and manager Dave Ziegler were fired, and Adams was smiling again.
– Martavis Bryant (WR) is back! According to NFL Media, the receiver has been reinstated by the NFL, and several teams are said to be interested in his services. Suspended multiple times for violating the league’s anti-drug and alcohol program, Bryant hasn’t played an official game since 2018. That was with the Raiders. That season, he caught 19 passes in 8 games. Since then, he has been to Canada and the XFL.
