after trading back the raiders make a shocking move

The Las Vegas Raiders were on the clock to make a selection at pick 37, until they weren’t. They traded back with the Miami Dolphins, but came up with a haul of picks. In exchange for pick 37 and a 2025 5th-round pick, the Raiders received the 48th pick, the 98th pick in the 3rd round, and a 2025 4th-round pick. The Raiders are trading down for the second time in the second round. After their Dolphins agreement, the team will drop out of their No. 48 spot, sending the pick to the Texans.

Moving back up the board after its significant drop on Day 1, Houston will send Las Vegas Nos. 58 and 99 for 48. Subscribe to LAFB Network’s YouTube Channel The Las Vegas Raiders gave the Jacksonville Jaguars a good look at Jakobi Meyers before shipping him to Duval. Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports graded all of the trades that took place before Tuesday's trade deadline. He gave the Raiders a B+ for trading Meyers to the Jaguars.

"The Raiders were going to lose Meyers one way or another. The wide receiver had requested a trade this summer, and the team decided against moving him. Then, when he was recently asked if he still had a desire to be dealt, Meyers confirmed that a trade would still be his preferred outcome," Sullivan said. "Does that sound like someone who is going to re-sign when he becomes a free agent this offseason when his contract expires? Don't think so. Sullivan noted that Las Vegas' poor start to the season made trading Meyers make much more sense than it did at the start of the season.

The Raiders' decision to add multiple draft picks for a player in the final year of his contract with the team was the right thing to do. The Las Vegas Raiders were sellers at Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. They had an obvious candidate to ship out, and they did so. Star wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is no longer in Vegas. He's now a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders will play their first game without Meyers quickly, as they take the field on Thursday Night Football in Week 10 to face the Denver Broncos.

The receiving corps without Meyers will be interesting. Tre Tucker leads a group that also includes Tyler Lockett, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton. There may be even more targets than usual for tight end Brock Bowers. Meyers will play Sunday for the 5-3 Jags against the Houston Texans. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes debate whether Geno Smith can be the spark the Las Vegas Raiders need to get back on track. Christian Wilkins is considered one of the NFL's top interior defensive linemen, at least when he is healthy enough to play.

After signing a lucrative four-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders last offseason, Wilkins played in just five games in 2024 due to a foot injury. On Thursday, Wilkins' run with the Raiders ended. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Today is the day. Coming up at 1pm Pacific (4pm ET), the initial 53-man roster cuts are due.

The team's IPP player who made a strong impression after a switch from defensive tackle to the offensive line has been cut with the hopes he can return onto the practice squad. Woods was signed this offseason and never quite caught on enough to earn a roster spot. July 24, 2025, 8:53pm EST 1K+ • By Alex Hoegler

In the most stunning roster cut of the 2025 offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders have released star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Raiders released Christian Wilkins just one year after signing him to a lucrative four-year, $110 million deal in 2024 free agency. The Raiders voided the last $35.2 million of guaranteed money on his deal because of how he handled his rehab from a foot injury, per Schefter, though Wilkins filed a grievance with the NFLPA. After Schefter broke the news, the Raiders issued a statement on the decision to release Wilkins. The club couldn’t help but take a bit of a shot at Wilkins, noting there was “no clear path or plan” forward: “We have decided that it is in the best interests of the organization to move on from Christian Wilkins and he has been informed of his release from the team.

This franchise has a Commitment to Excellence on and off the field. With no clear path or plan for future return to play from Christian, this transaction is necessary for the entire organization to move forward and prepare for the new season.” The Raiders traded wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville for two draft picks Pete Carroll said on Monday he didn't want to use the NFL trade deadline to sacrifice the present for the future. But that's largely what the Raiders did the following day when they traded wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville for two picks in next year's draft. Las Vegas' offense was struggling even when Meyers was still on the club, but now that he's gone, the Raiders are going to have even more difficulty moving the ball because of all the...

That was evident in Thursday night's 10-7 loss at Denver in which the Broncos made sure everyone but Bowers beat them in the passing game. All the Raiders had to offer was Tre Tucker, 33-year-old Tyler Lockett, tight end Michael Mayer and rookie receivers Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech.
