All the latest NFL news and rumors
We’re into the third month of the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2025 offseason after a 2024 season which didn’t go as hoped and the team is looking toward the future with NFL free agency starting this month. We’re collecting all the news, injury reports, signings, rumors, and everything you need to follow the Raiders and the NFL in the month of February.
We’ll update everything below in reverse chronological order:
March 3
11:32 a.m.: A top wide receiver target is off the board as the Cincinnati Bengals have given the franchise tag to Tee Higgins.
The #Bengals have, in fact, franchise tagged WR Tee Higgins a second time, per @teehiggins5.
No surprise, as Cincy is not in the business of letting good players walk away. They’ll hope to do a long-term deal after the more than $26M tag. pic.twitter.com/XW56WgiW6a

9:31 a.m.: The Raiders reportedly aren’t going to tender restricted free agent DJ Turner and the wide receiver will be an unrestricted free agent. He could still return to the team.
#Raiders are not tendering RFA receiver D.J. Turner, per source. Turner had 16 catches, 158 yards and one touchdown before going on IR with a knee issue.
Vegas open to him returning, but the tenders are costly now.
