2:09 p.m.: This is another killer for the Derek Carr haters.
Best Individual QB Rating on throws beyond 20 yards in 2020, per @SportsInfo_SIS (Min. 100 atts):
— Mike Tannenbaum (@RealTannenbaum) June 30, 2021
Daniel Jones- 129
Derek Carr- 119
Aaron Rodgers- 117
Ryan Fitzpatrick- 117
Cam Newton- 107
Jones’ ability on deep passes will help new NYG WR Kenny Golladay assimilate nicely
June 29
2:22 p.m.: The Indianapolis Colts have been cleared to play in front of a full stadium this season. That means the entire NFL has been cleared to resume to normalcy in 2021. Yahoo.

11:20 a.m.: Circle March 16, 2022 on your calendar. NFL free agency starts and the Raiders should be loaded with cap room. It’s never too early to get excited.
The NFLPA sent this notice to agents with 2022 calendar dates, including the start of the free-agent signing period March 16. pic.twitter.com/3RIhn6Wqnf

6:30 p.m.: Well, this is something.
To Carl Nassib and Kumi Yokoyama – two prominent, inspiring athletes who came out this week: I’m so proud of your courage. Because of you, countless kids around the world are seeing themselves in a new light today.
— President Biden (@POTUS) June 23, 2021

From @Raiders QB: Derek Carr, who has reached out to Carl Nassib: “I have often said I love my teammates. I mean it. We always say we are a family in that Raider locker room, and we mean that too. I want to win a championship here with Carl and the rest of our teammates”

1:45 p.m.: The NFL has matched Carl Nassib’s donation to the Trevor Project. This man is doing great work in a short period of time.
We stand beside you, Carl.

12:56 p.m.: If there was any thoughts, that Carl Nassib’s decision to come out as gay without public support, digest this: It’s terrific.
Raiders’ DE Carl Nassib is the top-selling NFL jersey across the @Fanatics’ network both yesterday and today.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) June 22, 2021
11:39 a.m.: You can learn more about the Trevor Project here. It’s the foundation Raiders’ defensive end Carl Nassib is supporting as he announced he has come out as gay. It’s a worthy cause to support Nassib as he makes NFL history, Oh, and how cool is this?
Proud of Carl Nassib on coming out yesterday. The #RaiderNation, the whole country, and I stand with you.

10:23 a.m.: The NFL is doing a cool thing for potential general managers.
June 17
11:53 a.m.: K.J. Wright is still available. He played for new Raiders’ defensive coordinator Gus Bradley in Seattle and Las Vegas could use some depth at linebacker.
The Seahawks haven't completely shut the door on K.J. Wright, but his return is unlikely. It's not really about money so much as their desire for their top two picks from 2020 -- Jordyn Brooks and Darrell Taylor -- to take on bigger roles. https://t.co/A5JSbIps3a

9:03 a.m.: The Raider Nation hopes the Madden Curse is alive in 2021.
Don't worry about a "Madden curse" for Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes - here's how the last 4 Madden cover athletes have fared:

8:23 a.m.: The Raiders are in the middle of their second day of minicamp practice. Expect this to be the last practice day. The team will meet Thursday and be excused for vacation until they report for training camp July 27.
June 15
8:56 a.m.: Update:
Tashan later spotted Good and Koonce getting some pool work in. https://t.co/ePvIPwVuIb
— Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) June 15, 2021
8:37 a.m.: Here is a list of five players who are not on the field during the first day of the minicamp. It’s likely most of these reasons are injury related in some form. Until we hear otherwise, I wouldn’t get too worried about any of these missing players, though.
By my count, the #Raiders have 85 players on the practice field for the first day of mandatory minicamp. Players on the active roster who aren't here: OG Denzelle Good, OT Kolton Miller, DE Malcolm Koonce, LB Divine Deablo and CB Isaiah Johnson.

June 14
12:47 p.m.: Pass-rusher Danielle Hunter will remain with the Minnesota Vikings. There was trade speculation and he was connected to the Raiders.
Essentially, the #Vikings created a decision after next season and moved a bunch of money up for Hunter. A frustrating situation for all was quietly worked out over the past few months. Hunter is now healthy and a big season helps him and Minnesota. https://t.co/ZtTfiOb07Q

7:02 a.m.: Bad news on the injury front for an AFC West foe and for Kyle Long’s comeback trail. Son of Howie is hurt. He visited the Raiders this offseason.
#Chiefs guard Kyle Long suffered a leg injury that could keep him out of training camp, sources tell me and @RapSheet. After initial concern it could be a serious injury, Long underwent tests and the hope now is he could be back right before the start of the regular season.

9:14 a.m.: Will the Raiders soon play in Germany. Surely, ti would be a road game.
The NFL today is officially putting out notice that it is looking for proposals to find a partner city for International Series games in Germany. Big step, and there could be a game there in '22.

11:08 a.m.: Fans can tailgate at Allegiant Stadium this season.
Clarification: Spots in the stadium’s footprint are $100, the spots offsite at the Frias parking lot on Valley View and Reno are $40. Both will allow tailgating. So there’s options, as far as distance and cost go. pic.twitter.com/P7BRxEveXn

4:23 p.m.: The Raiders are reportedly adding tight end Alex Ellis. He hasn’t played since 2019. He has three catches, all in 2016. He is 28. The Raiders will now have a full 90-man roster.
The #Raiders are signing veteran TE Alex Ellis, per source.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) June 2, 2021
1:40 p.m.: An update on the players who were not at the Raiders’ voluntary OTA session Wednesday. Again, don’t get too freaked about guys missing these things.
I left Damon Arnette out of this group. Didn't see him today. https://t.co/2s0biQj0lH
— Tashan Reed (@tashanreed) June 2, 2021
1:31 p.m.: Some good rules caused by COVID may stick in 2021.
Nothing official, but all signs point to the NFL and NFLPA keeping in place for 2021 several of last year’s COVID-related changes to roster rules, including unlimited/faster return from IR and 16-man practice squads, per sources. Those tweaks were popular with teams and players.
