Las Vegas Raiders

12:00 PM PT -- The Raiders released a statement on Barret Robbins' death on Friday, saying they are heartbroken over his passing.

"He played in 121 career games with 105 starts, all with the Silver and Black," the Raiders said.

"The thoughts and condolences of the entire Raider Nation are with Barret's family and friends during this difficult time."

10:00 AM PT -- Tim Brown tells us Barret had been dealing with health problems for decades ... dating back to a 2005 incident involving police.

Former Raiders All-Pro center Barret Robbins has passed away, according to his teammate Tim Brown, who says he was told the former lineman died in his sleep.

He was 52.

Brown -- who played alongside Robbins from 1998 to 2003 -- revealed the heartbreaking news Thursday night, revealing he got a call from Marissa Robbins, who told him Barrett died overnight.

"Thankfully, he passed peacefully in his sleep," Brown said.

Tom Brady, Las Vegas Raiders emergency quarterback?! It's an idea the G.O.A.T. -- minority owner of the team -- actually looked into ... but one he said the NFL didn't like very much!

Brady revealed the news while speaking with CNBC, who, on the heels of TB12 playing in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, asked whether he had looked into the possibility of throwing on pads in a situation where the team was in desperate need.

"I actually have inquired, and they don’t like that idea very much," Brady said.

If Team USA was hoping to use Tom Brady's arm to reach Olympic gold in flag football, it might wanna call an audible -- the GOAT says it's "probably unlikely" he suits up for the Red, White and Blue in 2028 ... but he seems down to be involved in some capacity.

Brady swung by "Good Morning America" Tuesday to promote his upcoming Fanatics Flag Football game in the City of Angels -- which was forced to move stateside after the conflict in the Middle East -- and he was asked if this event got him itching to compete for his country in the new Olympic sport.

"I would never say never, but it's probably unlikely," Brady said.

Maxx Crosby is addressing his fumbled trade from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Baltimore Ravens ... saying he's pumped to give it another go with his original team.

The five-time Pro Bowler shared his public statement on Wednesday via social media, just a day after the Ravens backed out of the transaction over concerns about Crosby's physical.

"Everything Happens For A Reason," Crosby said alongside a popular meme featuring WWE legend The Undertaker on X.

Shocking news out of the NFL -- the Maxx Crosby trade is off -- and the Las Vegas Raiders are putting the blame on the Baltimore Ravens.

"The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby," the Raiders announced on Tuesday. "We will have no further comment at this time.”

No word yet as to why the Ravens changed their minds ... but reports are that it had something to do with his physical

Maxx Crosby posted a bittersweet goodbye to Raider Nation on Saturday ... but it looks like he's still in disbelief that his time in Las Vegas is ending.

The NFL star said, "I can't believe that this is a real thing. It's been 7 years being with the nation. Raider Nation has given me everything."

And he gave everything right back to the nation ... he was selected for the Pro Bowl 5 consecutive times while suiting up in silver and black. But, having ultimately fallen short of his goal of bringing a Lombardi trophy back to the Raiders, Crosby said he felt like he let the fans down.

NFL star Josh Jacobs has unloaded his Las Vegas mansion -- decked out with a movie theater and six-car garage -- for a pretty payday right before the playoffs!!

TMZ Sports has learned the Green Bay Packers running back sold the 5,500 square-foot property recently for $4.7 million -- a price tag that seems palatable when you take into account all the place has to offer.

Completed in 2023 -- just minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip -- the three-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion was custom-built by Jacobs ... who only lived there for one season before changing teams.

Henry Ruggs isn't just lounging around waiting for his release from prison ... the former Raiders star, who pleaded guilty to felony DUI, graduated from the University of Alabama, earning his Bachelor's degree behind bars.

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted Ruggs' name under the Bachelor of Science in Commerce and Business Administration in the Tides fall commencement ceremony. NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported that the 26-year-old finished the semester with a 4.0 GPA.

It's a nice achievement for the 12th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft ... who was sentenced to three-to-ten years in prison for causing the fatal crash in Sin City in August 2023.

It was a rough afternoon for Raiders fans who made the trek to Allegiant Stadium just to watch Shedeur Sanders win his NFL debut for the Browns, but one man in particular had it worse ... as he was involved in a full-blown fistfight in the stands.

Footage of the scrap started circulating on social media on Sunday. While it's unclear what led up to the incident, you can see a man in a No. 2 Raiders jersey land a solid punch on another spectator.

The man -- alongside a patron in a Browns jersey -- is then held back by someone in an attempt to de-escalate the situation.

The mystery surrounding the benching of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens Monday night in Las Vegas has finally been solved ... as Lamb says the star wideouts missed team curfew after having dinner at a nearby resort.

The Cowboys' All-Pro wide receiver made the revelation while speaking with reporters in Dallas, saying the guys grabbed some grub and a few drinks at Red Rock Casino, about 20 minutes from where the team was staying for the Raiders game.

The explanation comes after rumors were circulating online indicating Lamb was spotted not just hanging out at the Casino on game day at 7:30 AM, but also throwing up.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little is the new record holder for the longest field goal in NFL history after his 68-yarder against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday ... and even though that's an incredible accomplishment, he thinks it could be a short-lived title.

Little chopped it up with TMZ Sports after etching his name in the history books in Sin City ... and he broke down his historic strike to end the first half of the outing.

"I loved the way I hit it, and it turned out great," Little said.

Taylor Swift used to crushing it in packed stadiums ... but, it was Travis Kelce's Chiefs which did the crushing Sunday -- dismantling the Raiders while she watched.

The singer-songwriter -- who's kept a low-profile at her future husband's games this season -- was spotted sitting in her private box at the stadium.

It appears she's sitting with her dad, Scott Swift, too ... and, they watched a flaying by the Chiefs -- with one memorable NSFW moment from Patrick Mahomes in the 31-0 victory.

Tom Brady is on the defensive against critics accusing him of having a "conflict of interest" with his Raiders ownership and Fox gig ... saying it's his duty to utilize his knowledge of the sport -- and anyone who doesn't see that is "paranoid and distrustful."

The legendary quarterback addressed the chatter in a newsletter on Wednesday ... when he spoke at length about the importance of doing one's job.

For him ... that means growing the game of football by sharing his experiences on Fox broadcasts while also assisting in bringing the Las Vegas Raiders back to relevance.

Terry Bradshaw sees nothing wrong with Tom Brady balancing his role as a Fox broadcaster with his gig as a Raiders owner ... telling TMZ Sports it's just not a big deal to him.

Brady, of course, sparked a firestorm of sorts among NFL fans this week ... after he was seen in Las Vegas' coaching booth wearing a headset during the Raiders' "Monday Night Football" matchup with the Chargers.

Fans were even more up in arms about the scene when it was reported during the game that Brady had regular talks with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly about game plans.

Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is adamant Tom Brady does not have a huge role in the team's game planning process ... saying Thursday when the two talk ball, they keep it pretty generic.

Peter Schrager, of course, reported during "Monday Night Football" that Brady -- a Raiders co-owner who also helps broadcast NFL games for Fox -- talks with Kelly 2-3 times a week ... and occasionally goes over game plans with the assistant coach.

But Kelly -- who addressed the report for the first time during Vegas' media availability Thursday -- insisted the talks are far more casual.
