The Las Vegas Raiders are currently gearing up for the 2026 NFL season, which is slated to get underway in September. The Raiders are looking to get into contention in the NFL this year after selecting quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the number one pick out of Indiana in this past NFL Draft.
The Raiders don’t exactly have a ton of depth currently in their wide receiver room, led by Tre Tucker, and recently, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter broke down Las Vegas’ options in that regard.
“Stefon Diggs, Deebo Samuel, Tyreek Hill. … There are a lot of high-profile wide receivers on the street,” said Schefter, per NFL on ESPN on X, formerly Twitter.
Indeed, there are several high-profile wide receivers who are currently still on the open market. Diggs recently was the number one receiver for the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots this past year before being let go by the team at the end of the season, and has since been found not guilty of assaulting his personal chef, meaning there are no off-field concerns for potential suitors to be wary of.
Meanwhile, Hill and Samuel are also both solid veterans who could theoretically carve out a nice role for themselves in Las Vegas.
The Raiders do have a quasi-wide receiver in tight end Brock Bowers, who has already emerged as a Pro Bowl-level talent at the NFL level, but they’d certainly like to add at least one more downfield threat for Mendoza to throw to this season.
At this point, it’s unclear if Mendoza or veteran Kirk Cousins, who signed with Las Vegas in free agency, will be the Raiders’ Week One starter, but it wouldn’t appear to be too long before the number one overall pick takes the reins.
