The Cardinals terminated the contract today of TE Josiah Deguara. Possibility of TE Pharaoh Brown being signed from the practice squad. This is the final day that vested veterans will have contracts terminated. Starting tomorrow, they will also go through waivers when cut.

Fitting that Cowboys deal for defensive non-starter from team worse statistically than them. Bengals 29th or worse in 10 categories with 9 at 30-32. Cowboys 21st or worse with 5 at 30-32. Points per game Cowboys 31st, Bengals 32nd.

For those that wanted to cut Emari Demercado, people that probably never mistake in their job, he rushed 14 times 79 yards Monday night.

When asked if Kyler Murray will be the starter when healthy, Jonathan Gannon said, "Yeah, nothing's changed on that." When asked why, he said, "It's how I feel." Asked later if there's anything Jacoby can show you to win the starting job, Gannon reiterated, "Nothing's changed."

Here we go in 4th quarter. Can’t recover a fumble and three straight plays gain 15, 19, 19. Up to the offense that couldn’t get a first down on 2nd and 3 and 3rd and 2.

The trade of CB Jaire Alexander also includes a No. 7 pick in 2027 from Ravens to Eagles and a conditional No. 6 in 2026 from Eagles to Ravens that originally belonged to the Broncos.
