ST.Ex-Eagles Draft Pick Retires After Second Team Release in Just Over a Month, Joins Philadelphia Police Department
Posted October 11, 2025
After two releases in just over a month, a former Philadelphia Eagles draft pick has officially retired from professional football. At 28 years old, he’s chosen to take a new path off the field.
The transition marks the end of a difficult chapter for the once-promising offensive lineman, who struggled to maintain a roster spot after several short-lived stints across the league.
Jack Driscoll
, a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, showed early promise with significant early-career snaps but never fully developed into a consistent pass protector. Over the next few years, his role and performance steadily declined.
After short stops with other teams around the league, Driscoll decided to retire and return to Philadelphia — not as a player, but as a member of the Philadelphia Police Department
, working in community outreach and youth mentorship.
In a statement, Driscoll shared, “With the Eagles, we fought together on the field. In Philadelphia, I’ll fight for the people — because loyalty doesn’t end when the lights go out.
”
His decision has drawn praise from both Eagles fans and local officials, who see it as a full-circle story — from protecting quarterbacks to protecting the community he once represented on Sundays.
Patriots Reach Agreement With 5-Time Pro Bowler Amid “Stalemate” – Pending Physical
Foxborough, MA — The New England Patriots (4–2) are understood to have reached a preliminary agreement with Alvin Kamara
, the five-time Pro Bowl running back, to address their most pressing first-half issue: a stalled ground game and post-halftime offensive rhythm. This hypothetical move reflects a buyer’s mindset as Mike Vrabel’s team leads the AFC East and holds a favorable remaining schedule, signaling a willingness to invest now and convert advantage into real separation.
From a tactical standpoint, Kamara’s All-Pro caliber skill set immediately changes how defenses line up. Concepts like duo, counter, and pin-pull can trigger more efficiently into the A/B gaps; linebackers are forced to honor the dual threat of Kamara’s vision and burst, reopening
play-action windows and intermediate-to-deep shots (deep over, post) for Josh McDaniels to sequence. Equally important, Kamara’s receiving chops — from screens to choice/angle routes — raise 2nd-and-medium success, reduce 3rd-and-long, and re-establish ball-control tempo in the third and fourth quarters.
On personnel and operations, Kamara’s arrival is expected to spark a positive chain reaction across the interior: cleaner pass protection for the QB (defenses must respect the run and check-downs), an eased snap burden on an injury-thinned backfield, and more creative space for the tight end group in the red zone. Given that both Patriots losses featured meager rushing totals and a lack of late “closer” plays, adding a true backfield finisher could be the difference between eking out wins and suffering fourth-quarter flips.
Financially, the structure is projected to be cap-friendly for the remainder of this season (prorated in-season costs), with a postseason option to extend or adjust depending on fit. Market pricing for a veteran star of Kamara’s profile would likely fall in the
late Day-2 to premium Day-3 range, contingent on competition and conditions (playtime thresholds, team results). With the competitive window open, that valuation is acceptable if it delivers immediate impact at a leverage position.
Inside the locker room, the message would be straightforward: raise the floor, steady the tempo, and restore the identity of winning in the trenches. Kamara allows New England to increase motion/tempo early in the third quarter to disrupt opponent adjustments while deploying
max-protect at key junctures to hunt explosives without compromising ball security.
“I TRULY LOVE THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. IF THEY NEED ME, I’M READY TO BRING RELENTLESS ENERGY TO THIS TEAMIN THIS CHAOTIC MOMENT — EVERY PRACTICE, EVERY SNAP, EVERY YARD.”
In sum, this agreement with Alvin Kamara isn’t a cure-all, but it is a targeted step: reinforcing the backfield, freeing play-calling creativity, and restoring late-game finishing — precisely what the Patriots need to turn a stalemate into a surge at the season’s inflection point.
