I’m told Jaire is contemplating retirement but for now is stepping away to think through his next steps.

Sources tell me and @mikesilver.bsky.social the Eagles have kept conversations private over the last few days.
Eagles CB Jaire Alexander has informed the team he is stepping away from the team to focus on getting right physically and mentally, per source.

The 28-year-old is contemplating retirement.

Jacoby Brissett was this confident back in camp when I talked to him for a backup QBs story. Kind of threw me at the time. It was July. He was drenched with sweat even in a non-contact jersey, team was indoors, but man was he pushing. Whatever happens now, he’s done all he can.

Will Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers be traded before Tuesday's deadline, as requested? “I’m probably the wrong person to ask,” he told me after Sunday's game. “Either way, I’m at peace. I understand my situation. I can’t do anything but ride the wave.” More tomorrow in @theathletic.com

There’s a guy in a light blue hat living and dying with every single pitch behind home plate and a lady who just looked like she was trying to cast a spell and THAT is the energy that should always be in those seats

With McDaniel still in place for now, seems like new GM will evaluate whether he will stay or that GM wants to hire his own coach. Probably with ownership input.
Source: The Dolphins and GM Chris Grier have agreed to mutually part ways. Grier had been with the organization since 2000 and Miami’s GM since 2016.

There are no other staffing changes in the building at this time.

Adam Schefter was on it first.
