TJHaLy’s Contract expires with Royal Ravens

Thomas "TJHaLy" Haly’s time with the Carolina Royal Ravens has come to an end, as his contract has officially expired following the conclusion of the 2025 Call of Duty League season. After a turbulent year for the Ravens, marked by internal changes and a last-place finish at COD Champs, TJHaLy is reportedly exploring new opportunities, and all signs point to a potential move to the Vegas Falcons.

Sources close to the situation suggest that Vegas is eyeing TJHaLy as a key addition for the upcoming Esports World Cup, potentially filling the SMG position with Saud "Exnid" Alotai as the flex. The veteran SMG player, known for his sharp SND instincts and clutch play, was one of the more consistent performers on an otherwise struggling Carolina squad this year.

The rumored move would be a significant pickup for the Vegas Falcons, a team that showed flashes of potential but lacked the firepower to break through and perform at a high level. Bringing in a battle-tested veteran like TJHaLy could help elevate the team to a higher level, especially in the key Esports World Cup tournament for the Falcons.

For Carolina, TJ’s departure marks yet another step in what’s shaping up to be a full roster rebuild. With Isaiah "Gwinn" Gwinn reportedly heading to Cloud9 New York and rookie Dillon "Wrecks" Slotter also likely to be released, the Royal Ravens are undergoing a major shake-up in search of a fresh start. Under current rules, teams are allowed to make only one roster change ahead of the Esports World Cup—unless their players are free agents before the tournament and need to be replaced. This technicality has given Carolina the flexibility to fully rebuild their lineup during the ongoing rostermania period.

While nothing has been officially confirmed by either organization, TJHaLy's free agency will be one of the bigger storylines of the offseason. Whether he lands with Vegas or elsewhere, he remains one of the league’s most experienced and valuable veterans, ready to make an impact wherever he goes.
