NFL Trade Rumor: Las Vegas Raiders linked to former $63M New England Patriots star to strengthen offense around Fernando Mendoza

The Las Vegas Raiders have experienced a brutal run on the field in the last few years with just 3 wins and 14 losses in the last season.The team’s last playoff appearance was in 2021 and the disappointing performances in the last couple of seasons has sparked concern. Amid this, the Las Vegas Raiders are now linked to the popular wide receiver for the new season.A few days ago, Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick, predicted that the Las Vegas Raiders could land Stefon Diggs as he continues to remain an unrestricted free agent.ID@undefined Caption not available.Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick noted in a recent report, “Between his stops with the Bills, Texans and most recently in New England, Diggs has proved to be a net positive for teams looking to surround a young quarterback with talent.”Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick added, “On that note, the Raiders just selected Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick in the draft and can use all the help they can to build up their offense.”Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick continued, “Their current wide receiver situation should be considered below-average at best with Jack Bech, Jalen Nailor and Tre Tucker leading the room. Adding Diggs as a veteran leader would make a ton of sense as the Silver and Black look to make their mark in Klint Kubiak’s first season at the helm.”However, the Las Vegas Raiders have maintained their fair share of distance from commenting on a potential deal with Stefon Diggs.Over the last few weeks, even as multiple teams have been linked to him, the 32 year old wide receiver Stefon Diggs has remained as an unrestricted free agent.In the last season as Stefon Diggs played for the New England Patriots, he dominated the field with with 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and 4 touchdowns across 17 regular season games.Though Stefon Diggs’ messy personal life and scandalous lawsuits have been in the news, the star player has expressed interest in the Washington Commanders.At this point in time, nothing has been confirmed as eyes remain on his next move as many await his return to the field.
