HENDERSON, Nev. -- The floor of the Oakland Coliseum was a veritable whos who of Raiders royalty on Dec. 15, 2019, with so many figures from the teams past showing up to pay their respects and bid farewell. It was the final game in Oakland for the franchise before the move to become the Las Vegas Raiders and it was Charles Woodson who had been chosen by Raiders owner Mark Davis to light the Al Davis Torch ... for the last time in this stadium. Now, Woodson was no stranger to celebrity. Not as a...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at whats happening around the New York Jets: 1. (Search) party of one: The Jets worst season in nearly a quarter-century will end around 4 p.m. ET Sunday, and then the real work begins. In perhaps his last big move as the Jets acting owner, CEO Christopher Johnson is expected to fire coach Adam Gase. At that point, Johnson should take one for the team and announce he will yield to general manager Joe Douglas as the lead in the search for Gases replacement. No search...

Trevor Jones-Getty Images Joining Tom Landry and scouting icon Gil Brandt as the troika that turned the Cowboys into one of the worlds most recognizable teams, Schramm led the franchises front office for its first 29 seasons.

If they keep him, do they hold on to Jalen Hurts, who acquitted himself well in his first start against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, or do they need to move him to avoid further quarterback controversy? And should Eagles coach Doug Pederson be in charge of trying to get Wentz back to his old self, or does Wentz need a new voice to shake this funk? The decisions theyll be making this offseason are nothing short of franchise-altering. To get an executive-level perspective on how to proceed, ...

Beyond Wentz, theres the question of what happens to his bosses, namely head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Howie Roseman. So far, it seems like Rosemans job is much more secure than Pedersons, but neither is a lock to return next season, no matter how the final three weeks of the regular season play out.  Then theres the rookie quarterback.
