Patriots sign veteran DaQuan Jones to one-year deal worth up to $6 million
x/the-new-england-patriots
— Sep 11, 2026
The New England Patriots have signed veteran defensive tackle DaQuan Jones to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million (base $3.5 million), adding experienced depth to a front seven after their Week 1 loss to the Seahawks. The move aims to bolster run defense and relies on Jones’s durability and Vrabel-Tennessee pipeline familiarity as the team prepares for Week 2 and rosters adjustments.

The connection to Vrabel could help Jones adjust fast to the new system.
Brock Bowers Expected to Miss Games After Knee Surgery
x/las-vegas-raiders
— Sep 9, 2026
Raiders tight end Brock Bowers underwent a meniscus trim and is expected to miss one or two games to start the season, including Week 1 against the Dolphins, with Michael Mayer likely stepping in at tight end. His absence could stretch into Week 2 against the Chargers, leaving the Raiders without their top pass-catching weapon early in 2026.

Bowers missing the opener hurts but a quick meniscus trim usually means a fast return, so Mayer has his chance to shine early.

Raiders Sign Michael Mayer to $45M Extension
x/michael-mayer
— 6d
The Las Vegas Raiders have extended tight end Michael Mayer for three years at $45 million with $30 million guaranteed, making him one of the highest-paid at the position and setting him up for expanded duties as Brock Bowers deals with a knee issue that will sideline him early. The move comes alongside ongoing concerns about Bowers’ durability, with Mayer expected to step in for Week 1 and serve as a key security blanket for the Raiders’ developing offense.

Mayer's extension looks like solid insurance with Bowers banged up, but 30 million guaranteed feels steep for a backup role.
