Former NFL HC Rex Ryan was arrested Wednesday morning in Nashville after allegedly running over the feet of two pedestrians with his pickup truck last week.
Police say Ryan continued driving before the pedestrians caught up to him at a red light. He allegedly got out, argued with them, and drove away without exchanging information.
Ryan faces six misdemeanor charges, including leaving the scene of an accident, failing to provide information or aid, and failing to obey traffic signals.
The #Raiders met with Kirk Cousins today, and GM John Spytek and HC Klint Kubiak went through his options with him.
Despite not having a no-trade clause, Las Vegas allowed Cousins to decide whether he wanted to be traded to Minnesota.
As of this weekend, the Raiders had not received any trade inquiries regarding their starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, nor are they interested in dealing him, per league sources. They plan to keep sticking with him until they believe their No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza is ready.
With Kirk Cousins' $10m cap hit off the books for 2027, the #Raiders will enter the offseason with ~$66 million in cap space, 8th-most in the NFL

Colts traded:
- Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks
- DeForest Buckner to the 49ers
- Keenan Allen to the 49ers
- Josh Downs to the Chiefs
Jonathan Taylor still in Indianapolis:
Raiders wouldn’t have done this if they didn’t feel comfortable with Mendoza right now.
Plus the OL pass protection has been good all year. Of course he’s going to mistakes and take more sacks than Cousins though.
1. His contract is basically void next year
2. No one else was interested in trading for him.
3. Fernando time was coming within a couple of weeks, at most
If you're willing to walk away from a third in that situation, you're nuts.
The Kirk Cousins signing was a master stroke by Raiders GM John Spytek:
The Raiders paid Cousins a total of $650,000
They got:
- 9 games of rock solid QB play
- 6+ months for #1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to learn the system and be mentored by Cousins
- A 2027 3rd round pick
