Around the NFL: Raiders sign Jackson

The Raiders have agreed to a contract with DeSean Jackson, and I like the fit. They’re in need of another receiver who can get down the field, and Jackson can help them there.  more »

Around the NFL: Henry Ruggs

The Raiders made Henry Ruggs the first wide receiver drafted last year, and early returns aren't good. He caught only 26 passes, outperformed in that regard by each of the next 10 wideouts selected -- vastly outperformed, of course, by many of them (Lamb, Jefferson, Higgins). Is a year 2 breakout on the horizon?  more »

Factoid: Devonta Smith

Typically you don’t want to select wide receivers in the first round. There are so many really good ones who are selected in the later rounds. Most recently, Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman, Chase Claypool and Gabriel Davis. But Devonta Smith sure was impressive in the national championship game last night.   more »

Jets fire defensive coordinator after latest loss

The New York Jets fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams on Monday after he made the controversial call for an all-out blitz that cost his team Sunday’s game against the Las VegasMore Raiders. Everyone has likely seen the 46-yard touchdown pass from DEREK CARR to HENRY RUGGS that gave the Raiders an improbable win and sent the Jets to 0-12. There appears to be nowhere to go but up for a Jets defense that ranks 29th in total defense and 30th in scoring defense this season. Less

The Las Vegas Raiders placed wide receiver TYRELL WILLIAMS on injured reserve after he suffered a torn labrum earlier in training camp. The Raiders receiving corps should be able to withstandMore Williams’ injury thanks to the presence of rookie wide receivers HENRY RUGGS and BRYAN EDWARDS, along with fellow wideouts HUNTER RENFROW, ZAY JONES, and NELSON AGHOLOR.

Around the NFL: Tyrell Williams

So Tyrell Williams has a torn labrum. He says he'll try to play through it, which is maybe good news for the Raiders (at least they'll get something out of him?) but probably makes him hands off in fantasy leagues. Williams tried to play through injury a year ago, and results weren't good.   more »

Around the NFL: Bryan Edwards

I keep seeing Bryan Edwards being talking up in training camp stories. He wasn’t even the first receiver the Raiders selected, but from the sounds of it, he could play a sizable role in their offense.  more »
