Tom Brady cleans house at Las Vegas Raiders: three players pack their bags… and more may still leave

Article arrow_drop_down

The Las Vegas Raiders are clearly entering a new era – and with Tom Brady expanding his influence as a minority owner, the team’s roster is seeing the effects. As part of a broader offseason overhaul ahead of the 2025 NFL season, the Raiders have released multiple players, including two recent draft picks.

On Monday, the organization announced a series of cuts, headlined by the departures of Amari Burney and Matthew Butler, both mid-to-late round selections from the last few years. Burney, a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, saw limited action in his two seasons but still contributed with 32 total tackles, including three tackles for loss and one sack, along with a forced fumble last year.

Tom Brady gets praised by rookie Giants quarterback as he disses the franchise

Butler, drafted one year earlier in 2022, never quite carved out a regular role on the defensive line. Over three seasons, he logged just 168 defensive snaps, recording nine tackles and a half-sack in his rookie campaign.

Veteran cuts, fresh faces, and cap space set stage for further shake-ups

Reaction to Derek Carr’s Retirement

Beyond Burney and Butler, the Raiders also parted ways with Tyreik McAllister (WR), Dominic Boyd (OL), Brandon Smith (LB), and Kristian Wilkerson (WR) as part of a larger roster shakeup.

The moves come one day after the team welcomed veterans Jaylon Smith and Jonathan Sutherland to the fold, bringing experienced reinforcements to the defense. Additionally, Las Vegas signed edge rusher Jahfari Harvey, linebacker Wesley Steiner, and wideouts Ketron Jackson Jr. and Key’Shawn Smith, further signaling that the front office – now operating under Pete Carroll and John Spytek – is serious about upgrading depth ahead of training camp.

The team is in a strong financial position, currently holding the fifth-most cap space in the league. That flexibility could prove crucial as other franchises begin to make tough roster decisions in the coming weeks, particularly when it comes to veteran players. The Raiders, if they choose to act decisively, are well-positioned to add impactful talent during the summer roster churn.

As Brady continues to settle into his post-playing career as an executive, the changes in Las Vegas reflect a clear ambition to retool and compete. While high-profile signings may still be on the horizon, these latest roster adjustments show the team isn’t waiting around to course correct.

For now, the newest additions to the Silver and Black are being evaluated as offseason programs ramp up. And as the league calendar inches closer to the preseason, one thing is certain – in Las Vegas, no roster spot is safe.

Luke Kornet’s legacy game saved Celtics’ season with fate of franchise in the balance

BOSTON — In the purported last gasps of the Boston Celtics’ season, of possibly an entire era, blood was everywhere.Josh Hart sat on the ground after taking a Luke Kornet shot to the eye, blood smeared across his face. Across the court was Kornet, a patently unserious man, nursing a gash on his elbow.AdvertisementBut this was a serious moment. The Celtics’ backs were pressed against the walls after Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles and the New York Knicks put them on the brink of elimination. They entered the night needing Jaylen Brown to overcome his balky knee to deliver a star performance. The Celtics desperately needed Kristaps Porziņģis to shake off this virus that has plagued him and just look like a semblance of a unicorn again.Brown was delivering, but Porziņģis was still a shell of himself.

Ben Stokes has vowed to return for England's Test summer in peak physical condition after an extensive four-month recovery from hamstring surgery.England captain Stokes has been out of action for country and county since tearing his left hamstring during the final Test in New Zealand in December.

Boston odvrátil vyřazení, Minnesota je v semifinále

Nejúspěšnější tým dekády Golden State doplatil na absenci své největší hvězdy a dirigenta hry Stepha Curryho, který s poraněným svalem od prvního utkání série nehrál. Nestihl se uzdravit ani pro dnešní zápas a Minnesota toho využila. Od začátku si šla jasně za vítězstvím, když si vybudovala náskok až 25 bodů. Dominovala zejména pod košem, odkud dala 72 bodů.Nejvíce se dařilo Juliusi Randleovi s 29 body, Anthony Edwards přidal 22 bodů a 12 asistencí. Celý tým Timberwolves střílel s velmi dobrou úspěšností 63 procent, zatímco Warriors jen 43 procent. Brandin Podziemski dal za hosty 28 bodů.„Minnesota zahrála skvěle a zasloužila si postoupit. Já jsem ale velmi pyšný na svůj tým. Bojovali jsme. Před pár měsíci jsme si ani nemysleli, že bychom se mohli dostat až sem. Ale zlepšovali jsme se. Teď už to bohužel nevyšlo,“ řekl trenér Golden State Steve Kerr.Boston se na rozdíl od Warriors dokázal s absencí své hvězdy vyrovnat. Jaysonu Tatumovi po operaci Achillovy […]
