Washington spent nine of his 15-year NFL career with the Raiders. After four years in St Louis, Washington left the Phoenix-bound Cardinals, to come to Los Angeles to join the Raiders. After eight years, he played a couple seasons in Denver, before playing his final NFL season with the Raiders in Oakland. Washington appeared in 122 games with the Raiders with 99 starts and recorded 19 of his career 37 interceptions as a Raider.

Jon Gruden: I'm working hard to get one more shot at coaching
Former Buccaneers and Raiders head coach Jon Gruden hopes his abrupt resignation in 2021 amid the release of offensive emails wasn't the end of his coaching career. Gruden, who is at Lions camp this week, told reporters he's eager to get back into coaching and hoping someone will hire him. 'Hopefully I'm not done,' Gruden said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. 'I'm about to make a comeback. I'm working hard to maybe get one more shot, but hopefully some of these guys that fell off my branch, if you say it that way, maybe they can hire me cause I'm looking for a job.' Gruden does consulting work for NFL teams but says he really wants to be a coach again. 'I don't care if I coach at Jones Junior High,' he said. 'I'm going to coach again. I'm still coaching. I'm just not on a team officially, but I do have some private assignments I work on and I wear some gear when I'm watching the games that nobody knows about who I'm pulling for.' Gruden, who will turn 62 next month, has a career record of 117-112 in the regular season and 5-4 in the postseason, and his 2002 Buccaneers won the Super Bowl.

Joe Flacco on Kenny Pickett's injury as quarterback race continues: 'You don't want to see something like that'
Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco spoke about the unfortunate timing of an injury to teammate Kenny Pickett in training camp on Monday. Over the weekend, the tight competition for the starting spot shifted when Pickett sustained a hamstring injury in practice. "I think, listen, I think there's worse timing," Flacco said after Monday's practice. "But at any point when you've been working so hard, you don't want to see something like that." Both Flacco and Pickett joined the Browns ahead of this NFL season and lead the depth chart ahead of rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The Akron Beacon Journal initially reported that the second week of Browns training camp would include adjustments in the quarterback reps. Come Monday afternoon, Gabriel was filmed on the field during passing drills. With Pickett sidelined and Gabriel getting reps in, Sanders recently had an impressive showing late into the first week of training camp. ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi counted that Sanders had more scrimmage sets than Flacco throughout Week 1 of camp. Sanders was also filmed throwing touchdown passes over the defense in training. However, his reps had not come with the first-team offense. All four quarterbacks are fresh faces to the Browns locker room, apart from Flacco, who had a one-year stint with the Browns in 2023. Pickett joined Cleveland after two years with the Pittsburgh Steelers and a season with the Philadelphia Eagles. In his lone, Super Bowl-winning year with the Birds, Pickett made five appearances and completed 25 of 42 attempts for two touchdowns. Flacco's long career was mostly spent in Baltimore, where he was the signal caller for the Ravens for 11 years. He has since played for the Denver Broncos, New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts. The Browns had Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the position just last season. They had a complete wipeout of their quarterbacks after a 3-14 season, starting with a season-ending Achilles tear for Watson in Week 7. He then re-ruptured his Achilles after rolling his ankle during the rehab process, putting his availability for 2025 in doubt. Watson's contract will count just under $36 million against the Browns' salary cap this season, per Spotrac. Despite Pickett's injury, the Browns have previously expressed they will not trade any of their quarterbacks. Cleveland will open their season on September 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Titans waive WR selected with the 1st round pick acquired from Eagles in A.J. Brown trade
Mike Vrabel is now with the New England Patriots, and the Titans' 2022 draft night trade of A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles played a significant role in the massive rebuild Tennessee has undergone since that time. In a move that was finally expected to elevate Jalen Hurts to another tier, the Eagles acquired Brown from the Titans for the No. 18 overall pick in the draft and another third-round pick. Tennessee used that No. 18 pick on then-Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks, who, after a slow start to his rookie season, had shown improvement and had 24 catches for 334 before a blowout win by Philadelphia over the Titans in November of 2022. Fast forward to 2025, and Brown has developed into a perennial All-Pro and arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL. Burks has been inconsistent and, after recently suffering a broken collarbone, was waived/injured by the Titans on Monday, the team announced. In three seasons, Burks has played just 27 games (17 starts) and recorded 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown. In his three seasons with the Eagles, Brown has played in and started 47 of a possible 51 games, recording 261 catches for 4,031 yards and 25 touchdowns, with an average of 15.6 yards per catch. Brown has earned three All-Pros during his tenure with the Eagles. This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: Titans waive WR Treylon Burks
