Raiders Could Cut or Trade 2021 First Rounder Alex Leatherwood, per Report

As teams around the NFL prepare for final roster cuts in anticipation of the regular season, the Raiders find themselves in a precarious situation regarding second-year offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood.

The former Alabama star was selected No. 17 in the 2021 NFL Draft, but has fallen down the depth chart and is now in danger of being cut from the roster.

According to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review Journal, “all options are on the table” with how to proceed with Leatherwood.

Options include moving Leatherwood back to guard, where he spent most of his rookie season, trading him elsewhere or cutting him.
