Jerry Jones says Cowboys have made one trade, possibly more to come
Per Jon Machota of The Athletic, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on SiriusXM that they have made a trade. Jones also said they could make a couple more moves before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. He said the player will be on the field immediately and implied it could be on the defensive side. “Immediately it will have him on the field and it will address some of the things that have been our shortcomings,” Jones said. Jones, 83, bought the team from Bum Bright back in 1989 for $140M and has raised the value to $10B. Since purchasing the team, Jones has operated as owner, team president, and general manager. He replaced HC Tom Landry with Jimmy Johnson, and shortly after, the team won three Super Bowls in 1992, 1993, and 1995, respectively. In 2014, Jones was named the league’s Executive of the Year, and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017.
NFL insider says the Commanders are now open to being sellers at NFL trade deadline, with two specific players in mind
The Washington Commanders' season is officially over after getting blown out by the Seattle Seahawks at home and losing quarterback Jayden Daniels with a gruesome elbow injury. The roster needs a complete makeover, and general manager Adam Peters has a lot of work to do this season. The season is still going on, however, and changes can be made right now with the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday afternoon. There's no doubt that the Commanders need to recoup as many draft picks as possible since they only have six picks right now, and one NFL insider says they are open to moving several players. The Commanders are open to trading Andrew Wylie or Nick Allegretti The Commanders don't have a lot of assets, but NFL insider Jordan Shultz reports that they are open to trading several players, including offensive linemen Andrew Wylie and Nick Allegretti. Teams need offensive linemen at the trade deadline, and they should have plenty of buyers who will be interested in either of the two. Wylie restructured his contract to remain in Washington and would likely fetch more draft capital between the two. He has shown that he can play at both tackle and guard, and a playoff team should be all over his availability. Allegretti is absolutely a guard, but he was also taking center reps at training camp, and could be a great piece to add with valuable experience in Washington and Kansas City. The Commanders spent a ton of draft capital on the offensive line between trading for Laremy Tunsil and drafting Josh Conerly Jr. in the first round, and the line is still struggling. There's no point in keeping both Wylie and Allegretti with Brandon Coleman back to being active, Sam Cosmi starting again, and Chris Paul becoming the starting left guard. These aren't the only players the Commanders could trade, though. Commanders need to trade whoever they can At this point in the season, the Commanders have to see who they won't be bringing back next year and try to collect picks at the deadline. This list would include Deebo Samuel, Noah Igbinoghene, Jonathan Jones, Jeremy McNichols, Chris Rodriguez, Bobby Wagner, and Zach Ertz. It should be an all-out fire sale at this point, and all free agents coming up should be shipped away for any draft capital you can get, because a majority of them shouldn't be back next season anyway.
The 'NBA 20-season club' quiz
Kyle Lowry checked in for the end of the Philadelphia 76ers 129-105 victory over the Brooklyn Nets and he joined an elite group once he stepped on the hardwood. The Villanova product and former 24th-overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft became the 12th player in NBA history to play in 20 NBA seasons. It was Lowry’s first game action of the season for the 5-1 Sixers, and the Philadelphia-native made his lone field goal attempt in garbage time. “Who would have thought it for Kyle Lowry 20 years ago, right?” said head coach Nick Nurse after the win. While Lowry doesn’t have much of a role on the floor for Philadelphia at this stage of his career, Nurse said he’s still a valuable asset to the team. “He’s done a great job being part of our leadership group,” Nurse said of Lowry. “When the players are pulling for him out there, you can tell he’s well-liked and well-respected.” Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the 12 NBA players to play in at least 20 seasons can you name in five minutes? Good luck! Did you like this quiz? Are there any quizzes you’d like to see us make in the future?

The Air Jordan 11 'Rare Air' Takes Flight This Week
Throughout 2025, Jordan Brand has rightfully focused most of its attention on the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1. However, this year also marks 30 years since the Air Jordan 11 first took flight. In September, Jumpman announced the upcoming release of nine Air Jordan 11 colorways scheduled to be released over several months. One of the most anticipated drops takes place this week. After minor drops at select boutiques last month, the Air Jordan 11 "Rare Air" officially launches globally on Wednesday. Below is a detailed look and breakdown of everything shoppers must know to secure the sneakers. Release Information The Air Jordan 11 "Rare Air" colorway will launch globally at 10:00 a.m. EST on Wednesday, November 5. Online shoppers can buy the sneakers on the Nike SNKRS app, Foot Locker, and other select retailers. Unfortunately for fans, the old-school basketball shoes will not be released in full-family sizing. Instead, they will have a retail price of $235 in adult sizes and $190 in big kid sizes. Nike and Jordan Brand have released several fan-favorite sneakers throughout this year. Despite all of the exciting drops, consumers can still expect these kicks to sell out quickly. Those who miss the initial drop can find the Air Jordan 11 "Rare Air" on trusted sneaker resale websites like StockX and GOAT. Details The "Rare Air" colorway is not an OG colorway, but a new design sporting a vintage aesthetic. Jordan Brand has applied the same pre-aged treatment to the Air Jordans 1, 3, and 4 already this year. Built to close the Rare Air series with a bang, the Air Jordan 11 "Rare Air" sports a tumbled Sail leather that fuses with Fire Red and Deep Royal Blue color-blocking, interchangeable laces, and a tinted outsole for a touch of heritage. Additional details include "Rare Air" on the insoles, Jumpman logos, and Jordan's #23 on the heels. Last but not least, the polarizing 'Jordan' lettering returns for this colorway. Tech Specs Like most of us, the Air Jordan 11 has aged off the basketball court. While the retro hoop shoe is no longer suitable for the hardwood, it still contains enough performance technology to make fans feel like Jordan dominating NBA arenas. All of the familiar performance technology is back. A ballistic-mesh upper keeps athletes fresh, while the full-length Air-Sole unit and Phylon midsole deliver a lightweight, firm ride underfoot. Lastly, the carbon fiber shank plate is still visible from the rubber outsole. The added stability, complemented by a legendary traction pattern, is a reminder of greatness with each step. History Jordan debuted the Air Jordan 11 on May 7, 1995, during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Orlando Magic. Of course, the Bulls lost that game and series. But Jordan's 11th signature sneaker is still synonymous with his comeback and return to the NBA after playing Minor League Baseball. The Air Jordan 11 "Rare Air" is a perfect tribute to one of the most popular silhouettes from the iconic sneaker line. The vintage design applied to the retro basketball shoe makes it a must-have for hoops fans this fall and winter. The holiday shopping season is just getting started, so fans can expect more exciting Air Jordans to be released over the coming weeks.
