HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders have traded wide receiver Bryan Edwards and a seventh-round pick in the 2023 draft to the Atlanta Falcons for their fifth-round selection next year, the teams announced Friday.
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 NFL draft.
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.
