The Las Vegas Raiders are exploring trade possibilities as their preseason begins, particularly looking to bolster their interior defensive line. A proposal from Chris Landers of FanSided suggests that the Raiders could trade a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Cincinnati Bengals for defensive tackle Kris Jenkins. The Bengals, facing roster challenges after recent additions, may consider Jenkins expendable.
