Raiders Trade for Johnson, Eye Shaheed: Depth Building

0:00For the NFL, it's March 9th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Las Vegas Raiders just bolstered their defense by trading for slot cornerback Taren Johnson from the Buffalo Bills. This move came right before free agency tampering starts following their earlier trade of Max Crosby. Johnson, a veteran who's spent his entire career with Buffalo, brings pro bowl experience after earning first team all pro honors in 20-23. The Bills were set to release him on Wednesday, but the Raiders acted fast to snag the former Weber State standout. He's faced some tough seasons lately, but now he's joining silver and black on an $8 million contract that looks like a one-year deal. For the Raiders, this is a clear upgrade since they didn't have a starting slot corner on the roster. Their defense needs talent, and Johnson could help shore things up if he gets back to form. Meanwhile, the team is eyeing more moves, with reports suggesting interest in wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the Seattle Seahawks.

Fans are buzzing about these changes in the latest silver and black mailbag, and there's even a new Tape Don't Lie draft show featuring prospects like, wide receiver Denzel Boston and defensive tackle Kristen Miller.
