9:34 a.m.: The Julio Jones market may be coming to a conclusion. Don’t do it for a first rounder, Raiders.
The Atlanta Falcons have discussed several trade offers for Julio Jones, including an offer for a future first round draft pick, per sources.
— Dianna Russini (@diannaESPN) May 27, 2021
There is a sense around the league a trade could go down as early as next week.

3:11 p.m.: Here is some salary cap news and vaccination updates from the NFL:
The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a $208.2 million salary cap ceiling for 2022, per source.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) May 26, 2021
There is no cap floor as of now. The sides agreed last August to spread the COVID-related revenue shortfall from 2020 over several years, and the cap dropped to $182.5M this year.
The NFL unveiled a sweeping pullback of COVID-19 protocols Wednesday for fully-vaccinated players and staff. That and more from the second day of the league’s virtual spring meeting. https://t.co/bfEPKrdlvI

8:14 a.m.: The Raiders were huge on the offensive line in 2020. After major changes, they have tried to get more athletic and faster. Let’s see if it works.
#Raiders had the heaviest OL last season based on snap-weighted size from @fboutsiders and were very small at WR https://t.co/YnXmkkNxbN

8:29 a.m.: The Raiders have been trying to find veteran depth on the offensive line. After this miss, they brought back Patrick Omameh.
Had the Texans not claimed former Washington FT LT Geron Christian, he would have become a Raider.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) May 24, 2021
Both Las Vegas and Miami both put in a waiver claim on the 2018 3rd rounder who has value as a possible swing tackle.
May 24
9:55 a.m.: The Falcons want a lot for Julio Jones. I, for one, don’t think the Raiders should be in that market.
Atlanta has asked teams that have inquired about Julio Jones for a first-round draft pick in return, per sources. Others around the league don’t believe the Falcons ultimately will get a first for the perennial Pro-Bowl wide receiver.

9;12 a.m.: This is a must read. New Raiders’ defensive tackle Solomon Thomas has written an open letter to his sister Ella, who committed suicide in 2018. So beautiful, yet so heartbreaking.
May 19
9:33 a.m.: Below is the Raiders’ salary-cap space. They have four draft picks and need some emergency money for the season. So, the cap is tight. But the Raiders have done a lot of work this offseason.
Re: Trade talk ... Here are the teams tightest to the cap right now.

9:32 a.m.: ESPN is reporting the Atlanta Falcons could still trade receiver Julio Jones. The Raiders have been rumored as being one of the most interested teams. I think it’s a waste of time, but that’s OK.
May 12

#Raiders listed as 5.5 point underdogs in Week 1 vs Ravens. Only times they were bigger dogs at home in Week 1 in past 30 years per @pfref:

11:12 a.m.: This weekend is all about the undrafted and try-out players in Las Vegas. The Raiders’ draft class will be in next week.
One more FYI on @Raiders rookie minicamp: Only 20 players are allowed to be present at this camp, hence mostly just UDFA’s and tryout players. Entire rookie class will be in town next week and will fall with the off-season program. Draft picks are zooming with coaches though.

5:14 p.m.: The Raiders are releasing safety Jeff Heath after one year. The move saves them a reported $3.2 million. That money will likely go to cornerback Casey Hayward, who signed with the Raiders on Tuesday. Heath was a solid Raider for a season. Of course, Las Vegas loaded up at safety in the draft.
The #Raiders are releasing safety Jeff Heath on Wednesday, per source. He was the AFC Defensive Player of the Week in Week 10 last season. Now, set to be a free agent.
