A new rumor has opened the door for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to make a bold move in Round 2 of the NFL Draft and find an interesting prospect to replace franchise veteran Mike Evans.

At the NFL Combine, Miami star Ruben Benn Jr. became a divisive figure when it was revealed that his arms were shorter than the standard for productive EDGE rushers in the NFL. Nevertheless, he was still viewed as a player who should go in the top 10 after playing a key role in the Hurricanes reaching the national championship game in January.

However, 14 teams, including the Miami Dolphins, pursued the talented EDGE rusher. But Tampa didn’t, and they may have gotten a better player than expected with the No. 15 overall pick. But it’s hard to be that lucky twice, and the team still needs to find a player to fill the big void left by six-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans.

Could the Tampa Bay Buccaneers move up to draft Denzel Boston on Friday night?

Well, a new rumor presents the possibility for the Buccaneers to do just that as early as Round 2. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, “The San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals and Buffalo Bills have received calls about potential trades at the top of Round 2 tonight, in what could be a busy trade night.”

The first selection of the trio of teams took place on Friday at Nos. 33, 34 and 35. Washington receiver Denzel Boston is still among the best players available. He has a very good start, good speed, is effective at winning jump balls and competitive pass battles, and is a problem in the red zone. The skills are quite similar to those of the Buccaneers legend.

Tampa Bay has the first pick in Round 2 at 46. So moving to the front of the line on Friday night would be a remarkable jump. However, with three teams willing to move back, there is an opportunity to land a very good prospect to pair with rising star Emeka Egbuka in the coming years.

After several weeks of rumors, Max Crosby’s memorable tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders has officially ended. On Friday night, it was revealed that the Baltimore Ravens had won the sweepstakes for the five-time Pro Bowler and were sending their first-round pick to Las Vegas next month (14th overall) and their first in 2027.

According to Over the Cap, not only do the Raiders now have 11 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, but they have moved up to No. 1 in cap space with $121.7 million. Las Vegas has a lot of holes to fill this offseason, but now they have the means to do so and add some big-name talent to the roster for new head coach Clint Kubiak.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at 10 impact players the Las Vegas Raiders could target on the free agent and trade block soon.

trey hendrickson

While the Raiders got a great return in the deal for Crosby, they still lost one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. They need to fill that void if they hope to have any chance of being competitive in 2026. Since they have the most cap space in the league, Cincinnati Bengals star Trey Hendrickson should be an option.

There is certainly risk in the deal since he is three years older than Crosby. However, if he’s willing to sign a shorter deal (three years) for a higher annual average, it would make sense because they would absolutely replace Crosby, but they also have two first-rounders that they didn’t have a week ago.

mike evans

With the Raiders expected to select Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick in April and start him in Week 1, the rookie will need some meaningful weapons to get used to. One of the best targets available in free agency this offseason is Tampa Bay Buccaneers great Mike Evans.

While the 32-year-old is showing clear signs of age-related decline, he is a year removed from consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl. Acquiring a reliable veteran target is essential for Las Vegas this offseason.

tyler linderbaum

The Raiders offensive line has been a mess for years. After taking Mendoza with the No. 1 pick, it’s very possible to use the extra pick at 14 on an offensive lineman. But that shouldn’t be where the team’s line rebuild ends.

Three-time Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum is the best available on the free agent market this offseason and he needs to be a top target for the team. Making Mendoza a strong leader on the O-line is another important element that will help this rookie make a big impact in his first season.

Alvin Kamara

The Raiders will hope that 2025 first-rounder Ashton Jeanty has a better sophomore season for the team. However, pairing him with a good experienced player next season wouldn’t be a bad idea. That’s why New Orleans Saints great Alvin Kamara may be on Las Vegas’ radar.

Is he the player who went to the Pro Bowl in his first five seasons? No. But he’s still a difference maker, especially with his pass catching skills. He’s in the final year of his contract, Mendoza needs more weapons, and the Kamara-Ginty combo could be very bad for a year.

Alec Pierce

Indianapolis Colts star Alec Pierce has quietly developed into a very good receiver in his first four seasons in the league. In 2025, he posted 1,003 yards, six touchdowns and an absurd 21.3 yards per catch average on just 47 receptions. At just 25 years old, he could be the hidden gem of this year’s free agent market.

The Raiders may have to overpay to get him, but Pierce has serious upside, and he could form a great combo with Mendoza for the next five years.

jaylen waddle

The Miami Dolphins have been in sell-off mode for the past few weeks. While there is talk that they would like to keep Jaylen Waddle, the Raiders should consider inquiring about a trade. Giving up one of the first rounders they got in the Crosby trade would be a big buck, but it’s a return Miami will definitely consider.

Although he hasn’t been a Pro Bowler, he has three 1,000+ yard seasons on his resume, he’s only 27 years old, and is locked in at a fair amount of money until 2028. Waddle will be needed for legitimate WR1 Mendoza.

trent williams

San Francisco 49ers veteran Trent Williams and the team have reached a standoff over his 2026 contract. They want him to take a pay cut, and he has no interest despite going to the Pro Bowl 12 times for the franchise. Release or trade is possible.

At 37 years old, he doesn’t have many miles left on his tires. But even after becoming a Pro Bowler again in 2025, he still has a lot of work left to do. Getting Mendoza an elite offensive tackle, even if just for a year or two, would be a huge benefit to the young man’s development.

alonte taylor

Another player who should be on the Raiders’ radar is former Saints second-round pick Alonte Taylor. The 27-year-old was a starter the past three seasons and showed his versatility covering both outside and slot receivers. He should come at a reasonable rate and is at his peak. Getting better in the secondary, especially if they can’t adequately fill the Crosby void, is a need for Las Vegas this offseason.

Marvin Harrison Jr.

Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., a first-round pick, has disappointed in his first two seasons in the league after being the fourth overall selection in the 2024 draft. This may simply be a system of how messed up the Cards’ offense was at that time. Still, the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder still has a lot of untapped potential.

With Arizona trying to turn things around, they may be willing to move Harrison Jr. for a second and third rounder in 2026 and beyond. Although that price would be risky, he is still under contract for two more years at a reasonable rate. If offensive coordinator Andrew Zanocco can utilize his potential, he could be a steal.

tyreek hill

Another interesting option for the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason is eight-time Pro Bowler Tyreek Hill. There is no doubt that the future Hall of Famer can make a big impact for the team in 2026. But he’s coming off a torn ACL, so it’s unclear how much the injury will diminish his elite athletic ability. Especially at the age of 32. However, this means he could come in at a reasonable rate and would be worth a short-term deal.

迈克·埃文斯 (Mike Evans) 可能正在考虑离开坦帕湾海盗队 (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)，这是他 12 年 NFL 职业生涯中的第一次。这位32岁的球员将再次成为自由球员，据他的经纪人德里克·吉尔摩称，他想再打一个赛季。问题是他是否仍会作为海盗队的一员，这是他在 2014 年 NFL 选秀中以第七顺位被选中以来唯一认识的球队。

如果埃文斯被迫离开坦帕湾，可能会有大量球队以自由球员身份瞄准这位六次职业投球手。下面，我们评估了一些最适合未来名人堂成员的球员。

洛杉矶闪电队

尽管埃文斯职业生涯第一次错过了 1000 码障碍，但他仍然可以成为他签约的任何球队的冲击接球手。这当然包括闪电队，他可能是贾斯汀·赫伯特的首要目标之一。另外，吉姆·哈博（Jim Harbaugh）喜欢那些不害怕将自己的身体作为跑垒手的接球手，而埃文斯就符合这一要求。

旧金山 49 人队

埃文斯可以加入竞争者并成为头号接球威胁的一个目的地是旧金山 49 人队，他们可能会在自由球员市场上失去贾安·詹宁斯，同时也告别布兰登·艾尤克。埃文斯不仅可以作为跑垒手帮助 49 人队，而且还可以为身高 6 英尺 5 英寸的布洛克·珀迪 (Brock Purdy) 提供一个大红区目标。

布法罗比尔

这是显而易见的。布法罗比尔队预计将在这个休赛期寻找另一位组织核心，虽然基恩·科尔曼还没有按照他们希望的方式发展，但埃文斯可以成为约什·艾伦的可靠武器，同时仍然向这位前二轮接球手展示技巧。

堪萨斯城酋长队

帕特里克·马霍姆斯上赛季没有得到足够的帮助。堪萨斯城酋长队将在休赛期寻求解决这个问题。这可能会在选秀中发生，但依赖新秀是一场赌博。与此同时，如果酋长队想要确定的事情，他们可以求助于埃文斯，他在联盟的 12 年里已经记录了 11 个 1000 码赛季。另外，像酋长队的大多数球员一样，他已经拥有一枚超级碗戒指。

新英格兰爱国者队

尽管新英格兰爱国者队在一个赛季中取得了极其强劲的逆转，但他们在第十届超级碗比赛中却表现不佳。他们需要为德雷克·梅耶打下更好的基础。当然，这要从进攻线开始，但是让他成为一个能够超越防守者或超越防守者的大目标可能会产生相当大的影响，尤其是在端区附近。埃文斯能否帮助爱国者队重返超级碗，并真正赢得胜利呢？

洛杉磯閃電隊

儘管埃文斯職業生涯第一次錯過了 1000 碼障礙，但他仍然可以成為他簽約的任何球隊的衝擊接球手。這當然包括閃電隊，他可能是賈斯汀·赫伯特的首要目標之一。另外，吉姆·哈博（Jim Harbaugh）喜歡那些不害怕將自己的身體作為跑壘手的接球手，而埃文斯就符合這一要求。

舊金山 49 人隊

埃文斯可以加入競爭者並成為頭號接球威脅的一個目的地是舊金山 49 人隊，他們可能會在自由球員市場上失去賈安·詹寧斯，同時也告別布蘭登·艾尤克。埃文斯不僅可以作為跑壘手幫助 49 人隊，而且還可以為身高 6 英尺 5 英寸的布洛克·珀迪 (Brock Purdy) 提供一個大紅區目標。

布法羅比爾

這是顯而易見的。布法羅比爾隊預計將在這個休賽期尋找另一位組織核心，雖然基恩·科爾曼還沒有按照他們希望的方式發展，但埃文斯可以成為約什·艾倫的可靠武器，同時仍然向這位前二輪接球手展示技巧。

新英格蘭愛國者隊

儘管新英格蘭愛國者隊在一個賽季中取得了極其強勁的逆轉，但他們在第十屆超級盃比賽中表現不佳。他們需要為德雷克·梅耶打下更好的基礎。當然，這要從進攻線開始，但是讓他成為一個能夠超越防守者或超越防守者的大目標可能會產生相當大的影響，尤其是在端區附近。埃文斯能否幫助愛國者隊重返超級碗，並真正贏得勝利呢？

孟菲斯灰熊隊後衛杰倫·威爾斯將於週四在柏林尤伯競技場迎戰奧蘭多魔術隊，這是他的第一場海外比賽。

對於22歲的威爾斯來說，這是另一個里程碑，他剛剛進入聯盟第二年。多年來，他積累了許多令人驚嘆的經驗，對此他心存感激。

作為一個在薩克拉門托長大的孩子，他從卑微的出身開始，確實取得了很大的進步。籃球一直是他的夢想，甚至 加入營地 前 NBA 球員泰瑞克·埃文斯。

“他是薩克拉門托國王隊的一名出色球員。我去過這座城市的很多 NBA 球員訓練營。（那是）能夠與泰瑞克·埃文斯分享、一對一比賽的好時機。我的意思是，這可能是我那個年紀最酷的時刻之一，”當威爾斯看到一張他和埃文斯的照片時回憶道。

“我永遠無法刪除它。”

這種聯繫還不止於此，因為埃文斯也適合灰熊隊。 2017年至2018年，他在孟菲斯效力，場均貢獻19.4分、5.2個籃板、5.2次助攻和1.1次搶斷。

埃文斯於2010年以第四順位被國王隊選中，並被評為年度最佳新秀。威爾斯當時只有七歲。

與此同時，威爾斯在2024年第39順位被灰熊隊選中。他是來自華盛頓州的一位低調的新秀。然而，他卻以場均10.4分和3.4個籃板的成績入選了最佳新秀第一陣容。

現在，他在孟菲斯發揮著更重要的作用。可以肯定地說，他與埃文斯的難忘時刻並非毫無意義。
