Wednesday the Pro Football Hall of Fame cut the list of nominees more than in half. Leaving just four Raiders left among them.

Details are emerging in the death of former Oakland Raiders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin, a former standout Boise State player.

Former NFL running back Doug Martin died Sunday while in custody by the Oakland Police Department. He was 36. Reports say that Martin became unresponsive while in police custody and later died at the hospital.

An old video has resurfaced of Oakland Raiders fans fighting each other, with one of them getting knocked out.

Regarding the Raiders, Tre Tucker is Geno Smith's leading receiver this year, having caught 29 passes for 389 yards and four touchdowns. Vegas spent two draft picks on Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech, but the rookies have combined for just 12 receptions, 167 yards and zero touchdowns.

So, if Powers-Johnson doesn’t fit into the new regime’s long-term vision and isn’t going to get much playing time moving forward, a split would make sense for both parties. That way, he can go to a team where he can see the field at his natural position, and the organization gets draft picks or a player swap to build the club the way it wants to.

We’ve made it to the bye week and are nearing the halfway point of the 2025 NFL season. Hopefully, you’re doing better than the 2-5 Las Vegas Raiders in our Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition, as the Week 8-10 range is typically when the contenders start to separate themselves from the pretenders!
