Disgruntled 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk, 28, is reportedly healthy after tearing his ACL, MCL and meniscus in 2024, but his strained relationship with San Francisco could see him released before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Agent Drew Rosenhaus is pushing for reinstatement, and ESPN says the 49ers will likely cut him. If he hits free agency, five teams could snap him up without sacrificing draft picks: the Las Vegas Raiders, who need a Pro‑Bowl‑level receiver; the Washington Commanders, still hunting weapons for a playoff push; the Pittsburgh Steelers, looking to bolster a 6‑2 AFC North squad; the Buffalo Bills, seeking a target for Josh Allen; and the Kansas City Chiefs, a perennial contender. Each club faces WR shortages and could benefit from Aiyuk’s talent late in the season.
The Packers lose practice‑squad quarterback Kedon Slovis to the Baltimore Ravens after Week 8 injuries decimate Baltimore’s QB room. With Lamar Jackson out after a thumb surgery and backups Tyler Huntley and Joe Fagnano sidelined, Slovis could start Thursday against Jacksonville. Green Bay, which signed Slovis after cutting him from Arizona, replaces him with former Raiders player Cam Miller. The move underscores the Packers’ earlier lesson about needing a reliable backup, highlighted by Jordan Love’s 2024 MCL sprain and Malik Willis’s contributions. Tyrod Taylor now backs Love on the 2026 roster.
Rookie safety Treydan Stukes and cornerback Zeke Masses have become the bright spot on a struggling Las Vegas Raiders defense, combining for 10 passes defensed in the first eight games—a franchise record for a rookie class since 2000. Masses logged seven breakups and Stukes three, each recording a pass defense against the New York Jets on Sunday. Their production ranks the Raiders among only eight NFL teams since 2010 with a rookie draft class posting four interceptions and ten pass breakups.
In Week 8's AFC West roundup, the Las Vegas Raiders clawed their way back with a win, and the Denver Broncos overtook the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Packers’ shaky ground game this season may push them to target Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty, the 2025 sixth‑overall pick, has logged just 328 yards on 106 carries and a sub‑4.0 yards‑per‑carry average, but analysts argue his size and receiving ability could give quarterback Jordan Love a short‑yardage outlet. Meanwhile, starter Josh Jacobs has managed only 39 yards on 21 attempts and faces possible NFL discipline. With trade talks swirling around Jonathan Taylor, a Jeanty swap could be a more realistic, lower‑cost option for Green Bay if Las Vegas is willing to move the young back.
Despite the New York Jets’ 2-6 record, the blog argues the team’s offense is a bright spot and could be one of the best in the franchise’s recent 15‑year history. Ranked 12th in EPA/play and 10th in success rate through eight weeks, the young unit—average age 23.8 and largely under contract—features promising prospects like Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper, Braelon Allen and linemen Joe Tippmann and Olu Fashanu. The author notes persistent red‑zone woes and questions whether coaching or luck is to blame, but contends the overall record is misleading, with net EPA comparable to teams such as the Raiders, Texans and Giants. The piece suggests the Jets could become a playoff contender if the offense continues to develop.
The Las Vegas Raiders are in an interesting position coming into this year’s NFL trade deadline. They’re a team that, on paper, is built to sell a few assets at the trade deadline to bolster their draft position next year. However, considering the state of the team right now, there’s a legitimate argument that the […] The post Ranking top 3 Raiders most likely to be dealt at 2026 NFL trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .

ESPN analyst Rich Cimini says the New York Jets' head coach Aaron Glenn no longer has a viable path to keep his job after back‑to‑back losses to Miami and the Las Vegas Raiders. With nine games remaining—including a road clash with the Kansas City Chiefs and a home game versus the Buffalo Bills—Cimini predicts the Jets could fall to 2‑8 if those matchups turn into defeats, making the coaching future bleak. While a mid‑season firing remains uncertain, the article notes Glenn's deep Jets history and the mounting pressure as the team faces a daunting schedule against the Chargers and Dolphins.
The New York Jets may need to follow the team-building blueprint the Las Vegas Raiders used to beat them in their Week 8 game.
The 49ers focus shifts to the Raiders as the team navigates roster moves and player updates. Defensive end DeForest Buckner celebrates a bittersweet return to San Francisco, while the franchise adds WR KhaDarel Hodge to the practice squad after his brief 2026 stint. Rookie DE Zhaun Stribling is spotted walking in the locker room, signaling progress in his leg recovery. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, now represented by Drew Rosenhaus, remains on the reserve/did‑not‑report list. Meanwhile, QB‑hungry clubs, notably the Ravens, weigh trade options like Will Mac Jones, Tyson Bagent, and Jacoby Brissett as the 49ers gear up for the next clash.
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins continued his postgame In-N-Out tradition in style after leading the team to a much-needed 38-33 win over the New York Jets in Week 8. However, the 38-year-old had plenty of company this time, with several teammates joining him to celebrate the end of Las Vegas’s four-game losing streak.

Mike Francesa erupts on the New York Jets after their 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, dropping the team to 2-6. On his podcast, Francesa slams coach Aaron Glenn for praising “excellent things” despite a back‑to‑back defeat, calling the coach’s comments “remedial reading” and mocking his focus on timeouts and deferments. Other media figures, including Mike Greenberg and Mike Tomlin, have also criticized Glenn’s game management. Francesa’s tirade highlights growing fan frustration as the Jets slump under Glenn’s tenure, a trend that hasn’t seen a winning record since 2015.

Kirko Chainz has returned.
The Green Bay Packers add former Las Vegas Raiders sixth‑round pick Cam Miller (2025, #215) to their practice squad, filling one of two open spots without cutting another player. Miller, a North Dakota State standout with two FCS titles, previously spent time on the Raiders’ and Miami Dolphins’ practice squads and even drew interest from the Vikings. He joins existing practice‑squad quarterback Kedon Slovis, putting Slovis’s role in question. Miller’s career stats include 9,720 passing yards and a modest 6.08 RAS score. The move expands a practice roster that still has one spot open across all positions.
In Week 8 the Las Vegas Raiders snapped a four‑game skid with a 27‑19 loss to the Packers, but running back Josh Jacobs drew the most attention. Despite a modest 21‑carry, 39‑yard effort, he scored two touchdowns and celebrated by mimicking a handcuff release, sparking backlash after his recent removal from the commissioner’s exempt list and multiple domestic‑violence allegations. Jacobs claimed the gesture honored the gospel song “Break Every Chain.” The post also notes K’Lavon Chaisson’s 4 tackles, a sack and roughing‑the‑passer penalties in the Commanders’ 27‑10 win, and Gardner Minshew’s surprise 17‑of‑23, 188‑yard, three‑TD performance that led the Cardinals to a 33‑30 overtime victory.
The Green Bay Packers are signing QB Cam Miller to their practice squad on Monday, according to Jeremy Fowler. Miller previously worked out for the Packers back in September. Miller, 24, is a former sixth-round pick by the Raiders in the 2025 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State. He signed a four-year, $4.4 million […] The post Packers Signing QB Cam Miller To Practice Squad appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
In Week 8’s 31‑24 win over the New York Jets, rookie right guard Trey Zuhn III earned his first NFL start and impressed head coach Klint Kubiak, who praised Zuhn’s calmness and preparation. Zuhn logged three impact plays – tied for third among Raiders linemen and just two behind center Tyler Linderbaum – suggesting he could stick around as a starter. The Raiders also broke a four‑game rushing slump, posting 95 yards on the ground, and quarterback Kirk Cousins was sacked only once. Kubiak added updates on running‑back splits, cornerback injuries, and depth‑chart rotations as the team looks ahead to a showdown with the 49ers.
After a 19-15 loss to the Lions, the Vikings’ quarterback woes have reignited trade talk. Kyler Murray, hampered by a lingering hamstring and a 64.9% completion rate (1,022 yards, 5 TDs, 3 INTs), faces criticism from analysts and a frustrated Justin Jefferson. Experts from Chris Simms to ESPN suggest a possible trade for Kirk Cousins, who is under a bargain deal with the Raiders and posting 63.6% completions for 2,124 yards, 19 TDs, and 5 INTs. With playoff hopes on the line, Minnesota must address the QB position quickly or risk an early exit.

Kirk Cousins quiets Raiders’ quarterback‑change chatter by engineering a 38‑33 comeback win over the New York Jets in Week 8. The veteran threw for 247 yards, completing 19 of 26 passes and delivering all four Raiders touchdowns—including a rushing score and his signature “Wellness Celebration.” Cousins’ 73.1% completion rate and zero turnovers earn him at least two more starts as Las Vegas fights for a wild‑card spot. Meanwhile, rookie tight end Brock Bowers posts the week’s highest PFF receiving grade (92.2) with 92 yards and two scores, while the Raiders’ run defense remains a liability despite the victory.
