Las Vegas Raiders reportedly pursued Stefon Diggs before his Commanders signing

The Las Vegas Raiders reportedly expressed interest in veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs before he signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Raiders were among several teams, including the Chiefs and Dolphins, that weighed in on the player.

As training camp progresses, the Raiders are evaluating their thin wide receiver depth. Sixth-round pick Malik Benson has emerged as a standout performer, earning praise from tight end Michael Mayer and head coach Klint Kubiak for his chemistry with backup quarterback Fernando Mendoza and his contributions to special teams.

In recent practices, the coaching staff has also rotated rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza into drills with the starting lineup while resting veteran Kirk Cousins, offering a glimpse into the team's future development.
