Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker.
The Las Vegas Raiders have had a relatively quiet offseason over the last month. Things got off to a hot start with the hiring of head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek and then the blockbuster trade for quarterback Geno Smith but things have gone cold.
Las Vegas may be waiting to see how the draft plays out before making a big move but there are some notable names who might be available. Trade speculation surrounding Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been loud for months.
He recently reignited the rumors with some social media activity. The Raiders have a huge need at wide receiver and this led to Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report pitching a deal that would send a 2025 third-round pick, a 2026 third-round pick and wide receiver Tre Tucker to Miami for Hill and two fifth-round picks.
“Last season, tight end Brock Bowers racked up all-time rookie receiving numbers. Jakobi Meyers registered career highs in catches (87) and receiving yards (1,027) as the team’s No. 1 wideout following Davante Adams’ trade request and departure,” Moton wrote in an April 3 column. “However, Bowers and Meyers averaged less than 12 yards per catch. Tucker has the speed to make chunk plays through the air, but he’s been the No. 3 option over the last two years.
“The Raiders can bring in Hill as an upgrade over Tucker to field a more explosive offense with Smith’s ability to sling the ball accurately downfield. Because head coach Mike McDaniel emphasizes offensive speed, he may want Tucker in a deal.”
