The Raiders defensive end spoke Friday for the first time since coming out as the first active NFL player to announce he was gay.
A day after signing free agent defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, longtime Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright was in Henderson on Thursday for a meeting with the Raiders.
The second-year wide receiver is having a strong camp. His early play is drawing comparison to Davante Adams from Derek Carr and Terrell Owens from Jon Gruden.
Over the past year, the value of the Raiders has increased by 10 percent to $3.415 billion, according to Forbes. This puts them 16th among the NFL’s 32 teams.
Gerald McCoy spent nine seasons in Tampa Bay, where he was among the NFL’s elite interior defensive linemen. He missed all of last season with a ruptured quad tendon.
Pro bettors account for most of the exhibition action, which explains why the preseason limits at sportsbooks are one-tenth of what they are during the regular season.
It’s difficult to unearth anything lacking in execution from Derek Carr, the team’s quarterback, who has looked terrific early in training camp.
The quarterback was asked Wednesday about how the team has reacted to defensive end Carl Nassib’s public announcement that he is gay.
Derek Carr hopes he can catch a touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota at some point this season.
In a major shakeup, three more executives on the financial side of things, not including former team president Marc Badain, are no longer with the organization.
Quarterbacks are one of the biggest keys to cashing tickets in the NFL preseason. In general, it’s wise to back teams with quarterback competitions.
With Carson Wentz expected to miss five to 12 weeks, the Colts have moved from 3-point home favorites over the Seahawks in their season opener to 3½-point underdogs.
The veteran quarterback connected on a deep ball to the 2020 first-round pick in what the team hopes is just a preview of bigger things to come.
Veteran offensive tackle Sam Young becomes the third player on the Raiders to retire in less than a week.
