Raiders linked to underrated Browns star to help Fernando Mendoza in intriguing trade idea originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Las Vegas Raiders ' biggest priority this offseason has to be putting the right pieces around Fernando Mendoza.
After signing Kirk Cousins on Thursday, the Raiders now have a veteran quarterback he can learn from who has been around this league for a very long time. Mendoza, however, needs some better wide receivers to throw the football to, and in a recent trade proposal from Ryan Shea of SI, he'd get just that. His trade would send a third-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for Jerry Jeudy.
“The Cleveland Browns would make this trade to turn a talented but expensive receiver into valuable draft capital that can help address multiple roster needs. "With Jeudy potentially commanding a significant contract and the Browns looking to balance the roster, a 2026 third-round pick gives them flexibility to invest in areas such as the offensive line, secondary, or defensive front. ” Jeudy is a good player and has proven at times that he can be someone a team like the Raiders is looking for.
The question about him continues to be centered around consistency, though it's also tough to blame him for some of the struggles we've seen him have due to the Browns' offense being that bad. However, if Mendoza wants to be as good as he can be, the Raiders need to help him out, and adding Jeudy would at least be a step in the right direction.
