Shaquill Griffin set to visit the Las Vegas Raiders
The Seattle Seahawks have slowly been attempting to build better depth at the cornerback position this offseason. One of their targets in recent months has been a former Seahawk by the name of Shaquill Griffin. Originally the 90th overall selection by Seattle during the 2017 NFL draft, Griffin has bounced around the league in recent seasons, most recently playing with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024.
Griffin and the Seahawks have met twice this offseason, but it appears there is another team interested in the services of a former Pro Bowl caliber corner: the Las Vegas Raiders. Unsurprisingly, head coach Pete Carroll is also reuniting with a familiar face.
Pete Carroll and John Schneider having interest in the same players is pretty par for the course, as the two of them drafted exceptionally well together during their shared tenure in the Pacific Northwest. Should Griffin decide he want to play under his old head coach once more, there are still options out there for the Seahawks to sign to help bolster their cornerback depth. Namely, Rasul Douglas and recently released Jaire Alexander.
Seattle is in no hurry. Griffin, Douglas and especially Alexander would represent solid options to put into the mix alongside Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon. With training camp, the preseason, and the eventual cuts all teams in the league are bound to make just over the horizon, the Seahawks will likely have more than a few options at their disposal to pick from.

Sauce Gardner says new Jets coaches trying to get 'perfection' out of him is what he needs
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Sauce Gardner is trying to cook up an even better version of himself this season for the New York Jets . And the star cornerback's new defensive coordinator is pushing him to get there. 'It's so many things that I feel like Sauce can do,' Steve Wilks said during the Jets' three-day minicamp this week. 'Again, the word 'consistent.' He's been a Pro Bowl player. How consistent can he be to take it to another level? And that's one of the things that I challenged him Day 1 when we had our conversation.'

NFL free agency: Former Arizona Cardinals LT D.J. Humphries signs with LA Rams
NFL free agency: Former Arizona Cardinals LT D.J. Humphries signs with LA Rams D.J. Humphries joins the Rams after his contract with the 49ers fell through. Former Arizona Cardinals left tackle and first-round pick D.J. Humphries is returning to the NFC West, but not in the it was expected. He was expected to sign with the San Francisco 49ers at the end of April after the NFL draft. That apparently didn't happen. After the initial report, a contract did not get finalized, meaning he remained a free agent. But according Humphries' agency, he has signed with the Los Angeles Rams. Humphries was drafted in the first round by the Cardinals in 2015 and played eight seasons, seven as a starter. He made one Pro Bowl. After he tore his ACL at the end of 2023, the Cardinals released him and he, after recovering, signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, playing two games for the AFC Champions. Now 31 years old, he offers the Rams some tackle depth. As he joins a fellow NFC West team, he face the Cardinals twice in the 2025 season, including a homecoming trip to State Farm Stadium.

Daniel Carlson Breaks Silence on Giving up Jersey Number to Ashton Jeanty
Daniel Carlson Breaks Silence on Giving up Jersey Number to Ashton Jeanty originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After averaging a league-worst 79.8 yards per game on the ground last year, the Las Vegas Raiders splurged on running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Advertisement Jeanty, who ran for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2024, was nicknamed "Deuce" while at Boise State because he wore No. 2 on his jersey. Unfortunately, that number belonged to Raiders' All-Pro kicker Daniel Carlson when he was drafted. However, Carlson ultimately gave up the uniform number to the rookie shortly after the draft. Jeanty admitted on an episode of Up & Adams that he paid a hefty price to buy the number off the veteran. Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (2).Candice Ward-Imagn Images Carlson recently broke his silence on the matter, however, when he spoke to the media on Tuesday. He talked about his initial impressions of Jeanty and how the negotiation process went. Advertisement "I mean, just a high character guy, so it was really easy," Carlson said. "I wouldn't even call it a negotiation necessarily. Just a couple discussions, you know, it was super great. And I mean, everything I've seen on the field so far, I'm no expert, but he looks the part for sure." When one reporter tried to figure out exactly how much Jeanty sent him, Carlson had a tongue and cheek response. "No, no new cars," Carlson laughed. Carlson is looking to rebound this season after making just 85.0% of his field goals in 2024, which was his lowest mark since his second year in 2019. He earned back-to-back All-Pro honors in 2021 and 2022, but he has not reached that level in two years. Advertisement Perhaps his changing back to the No. 8 will rejuvenate Carlson and allow him to leave the 2024 season in the past. Jeanty, by that same token, will be looking to give new life to the No. 2 in 2025.
