Las Vegas Raiders trade Bryan Edwards, 7th-rounder to Atlanta Falcons for fifth-round pick in 2023 NFL draft

HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders are trading wide receiver Bryan Edwards and a seventh-round pick in the 2023 draft to the Atlanta Falcons for their fifth-round selection next year, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Edwards, 23, has 45 catches for 764 yards and four touchdowns in 28 career games (15 starts) since being selected by the Raiders in the third round of the 2020 draft.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal first reported the trade.

Las Vegas, under the direction of new general manager Dave Ziegler and new coach Josh McDaniels, saw Edwards as expendable after acquiring two-time All-Pro wideout Davante Adams in March to join Pro Bowler Hunter Renfrow.
