The Raiders cut quarterback Derek Carr on Tuesday after the veteran declined to waive his no-trade clause and just before more than $40 million of his contract would have become guaranteed.

Derek Carr can finally put Las Vegas in the rearview mirror.
The Raiders officially cut the 31-year-old quarterback Tuesday. They selected him in the second round in 2014.
Though Carr proved himself to be a valuable starter — playing his way to four Pro Bowl selections and engineering 28 career fourth-quarter comebacks, making him a bonafide clutch QB — the Raiders decided to cut ties with Carr without any compensation in return.

A Valentine’s Day-themed roast did not go over well within the Philadelphia camp.
Eagles players are calling out Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster for trolling Philadelphia cornerback James Bradberry on Twitter with a pointed Valentine’s Day-themed message. And the latest to chime in is Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson with a harsh series of tweets aimed at Smith-Schuster.
Gardner-Johnson pulled no punches in his Twitter screed on Tuesday. His first blast came in the form of a quote tweet with the Eagles player saying, “School boys acting gangsta …..

JuJu Smith-Schuster decided to have a little fun at James Bradberry’s expense, sending out a Valentine’s Day “card” on Twitter.

The head coach went a different route this time around.
After the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII, the first thing some observers wanted to know was what meal coach Andy Reid would celebrate with upon his return to Kansas City.
Many assumed it would be a cheeseburger, a meal that he is known to love, just like when he celebrated his first Super Bowl win over the 49ers in 2020. His players even gifted him a cheeseburger as a present for Christmas.
However, it was not. Instead, Reid went in a different direction when he landed back in Kansas City, going with pizza this time around.

Arne Espeel collapsed moments after saving a penalty kick, and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a hospital.
Belgian goalkeeper Arne Espeel, who plays for Winkel Sport B, died on Saturday after collapsing on the field following a saved penalty kick. He was 25.
Espeel saved the kick and fell to the ground shortly afterward, according to Belgian media. Medical personnel attempted to revive him with a defibrillator, but he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arriving.

The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl LVII champions with Patrick Mahomes as MVP. Mahomes is 27 years old and is in the GOAT conversation, but Jalen Hurts is only 24 years old and played the game of his life with the exception of the fumble return TD. He was named a second-team All-Pro and had four total touchdowns in the Super Bowl. Both QBs are accomplished and still young but which team has the brighter future? Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor and David Helman debate whether the Chiefs or Eagles have the brighter future.

Washington has no timetable for its captain’s return.
The Capitals will be without Alex Ovechkin for the foreseeable future after the organization announced in a statement from general manager Brian MacLellan that the star winger would be away from the team for personal reasons. 
The statement from MacLellan indicates Ovechkin is expected to miss at least the remainder of this week’s games, and potentially longer, while dealing with “a family matter and the health of a loved one.

We’ve got ourselves a post-Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day beef between JuJu Smith-Schuster and AJ Brown.
Juju has a parade coming up that he should probably be focusing on, while AJ Brown is still coming to terms with a brutal end to what was an otherwise spectacular season. Still, they found some time to get into it on Twitter.
It all started — as so many modern beefs do — with a meme. An NFL meme to be precise.
Smith-Schuster shared a meme from Twitter and Instagram account NFL Memes (which, by the way, is a must-follow.

Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, and David Helman discuss whether the New York Jets should want former Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr or current Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers next season. Joy weighs in on whom the Jets should want more and explains the decision is much more complicated than some may think, but ultimately sides with Carr.
