Late-breaking news from walk-throughs

SAM BRADFORD GETS CUT:

Arizona released veteran QB Sam Bradford on Saturday. He’d started the Cardinals’ first two games. Arizona was Bradford’s fourth NFL team, after the St. Louis Rams, Philadelph­ia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings. He has earned $130 million so far in the NFL.

RAIDERS WAIVE IRVIN:

Oakland’s defence got shredded by Thursday night by an undrafted San Francisco 49ers quarterbac­k making his pro debut, Nick Mullens. Star Raiders outside linebacker Bruce Irvin, however, barely played. He was in for only nine snaps — just 16% of Oakland’s defensive plays. Apparently, Gruden decided Saturday that Irvin doesn’t fit any role, as the Raiders waived him. Irvin was Oakland’s highest-paid defender, with a $9-million 2018 salary.

FOR SURE PETERMAN:

The Buffalo Bills announced Saturday that two players concussed in Monday night’s loss to New England — QB Derek Anderson and rookie LB Tremaine Edmunds — are out for Sunday’s home game against Chicago. Nathan Peterman will make his fourth career start at QB for the Bills.

EXTRA POINTS: In other Saturday transactio­ns, Green Bay downgraded WR Geronimo Allison (hamstring/groin) to out and did not travel to New England. Also, CB Tony Brown (hip) is now questionab­le.
