Re: AROUND THE NFL WEEK 1

HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders waived 2021 first-round draft pick Alex Leatherwood on Tuesday.

Also on Tuesday, the Raiders traded 2019 second-round pick Trayvon Mullen to the Arizona Cardinals. Las Vegas gets a 2023 conditional seventh-round pick that could become a sixth-round pick in the trade.

Leatherwood, an offensive lineman taken with the No. 17 overall pick out of Alabama to be the Raiders' foundational right tackle, regressed in the preseason and Las Vegas' new regime of coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler had seen enough.

In waiving the right tackle, the Raiders will take a $7.9 million hit to their salary cap if no other team claims him. Per Over The Cap, Leatherwood's $14.39 million salary was fully guaranteed.

None of the Raiders' three first-round picks from 2020-21 (WR Henry Ruggs III, CB Damon Arnette, Leatherwood) remain with the team, and none of the Raiders' three first-rounders from 2019 (DE Clelin Ferrell, RB Josh Jacobs, SS Johnathan Abram) had their fifth-year options picks up by the new regime this offseason.

Opportunity and health are the keys for cornerback Trayvon Mullen. The 2019 second-round pick started 26 games in his first two seasons but missed the majority of 2021 with foot and toe injuries. In all, he missed 12 games last season.

The 24-year-old's play has also been a bit up-and-down over the years. In 2020, he allowed an opposing passer rating of 93.1 in coverage. In both 2019 and 2021, though, his opposing passer rating fell below 85.0.

Trading some day 3 draft picks for a Cb is what Im hoping we still do.

Tough seeing Gardner-Johnson go for peanuts and the Eagles have to decide whether to pay him after this season so it could be a baseball 1 year rental.

Mullens is inconsistent, dont know much about him, but he fits the profile IM hoping we add. Someone with some starting experience but still young and had for cheap.

We need a solid CB4 bc no way WJ3, Fuller, St Juste finish the season.
