Who Should I Start? Tom Brady or Daniel Jones

As recently as last week, there was a feeling inside the Las Vegas Raiders' team headquarters that owner Mark Davis would give head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco another year to figure things out after a 4-13 finish in 2024. However, seven-time Super Bowl-champion Tom Brady, who purchased 5% of the team last October, felt a total reset was needed and persuaded Davis to fire both Pierce and Telesco. "This is Tom's show now," a person with knowledge of the situation said. Davis will make the final call on decisions for the franchise, but Davis wants Brady to have a "huge" voice and has a lot of trust in him. By firing Telesco, the Raiders have made the head-coach job more attractive to potential coaches, and the Raiders are willing to consider a package deal if their top coaching candidates have preferred front-office leaders in mind.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 10 of his 21 passes for 144 yards in a 24-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in his team's first preseason game of the year. Jones was pressed into action earlier than expected after Anthony Richardson Sr. was forced from the game with a dislocated pinky following the Colts' second possession of the contest. The Colts managed two field-goal scoring drives but no touchdowns while Jones was under center. Jones ran the offense up until halftime, giving way to rookie Riley Leonard to begin the third quarter. Richardson is being called day-to-day by the Colts, setting the stage for the camp battle between him and Jones to continue into the team's second preseason game, which will come against the Green Bay Packers next Saturday.
