With the Las Vegas Raiders dropping to 2-7, it\u2019s time to start thinking about the 2026 NFL Draft. The team clearly needs a ton of talent, so next year\u2019s draft is very important.<\/p>\n

The Raiders have the same number of wins as the team holding the No. 2 pick, but have to hope the\u00a0Tennessee Titans\u00a0win at least two more games if they want to get the No. 1 pick. The top pick isn\u2019t out of the question for Las Vegas, but that would be bad news for quarterback\u00a0Geno Smith.<\/p>\n

If the Raiders are bad enough the rest of the way to get the No. 1 pick,\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Dan Graziano\u00a0believes that the veteran quarterback will be gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably the end of his time in Las Vegas,\u201d Graziano wrote when asked what the No. 1 pick would mean for Smith\u2019s future. \u201cIf the Raiders get the No. 1 pick, that almost certainly means Smith won\u2019t have turned his season around and the Raiders could be looking at a lot of changes, including at quarterback. Smith does have $18.5 million in guaranteed salary coming in 2026 no matter what, and another $8 million becomes fully guaranteed if he\u2019s still on the roster on the third day of the league year next March. But because of the way the Raiders handle bonus structure in their veteran contracts, that $18.5 million is all the dead money they\u2019d have to carry on their 2026 salary cap for Smith if they cut him before the third day of the league year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The only thing Smith has going for him right now is that head coach\u00a0Pete Carroll\u00a0really believes in him. If it wasn\u2019t for that, he likely would\u2019ve been benched already.<\/p>\n

Getting the No. 1 pick might also lead to Carroll getting fired, which would almost certainly mean the end for Smith. Luckily, there\u2019s still time for the quarterback to save his Raiders career.<\/p>\n

The season is only halfway through. If Smith can string together some strong performances, that would do a lot to help convince the Raiders to commit to him for at least one more season. The team doesn\u2019t even need to be winning; he just has to play better. If he continues to throw interceptions, it\u2019s difficult to see how the Raiders could bring him back.<\/p>\n

If the Raiders end up with the No. 1 pick, many are going to link them to quarterbacks. That makes sense considering in this scenario, Smith is likely gone.<\/p>\n

However, ESPN\u2019s Matt Miller thinks Ohio State star linebacker and pass rusher Arvell Reese would be too good to pass up.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s another team where Reese is a dream fit,\u201d Miller wrote. \u201cThe Raiders have struggled to find Crosby a good running mate in previous drafts and free agency, but Reese\u2019s speed and power would match the relentlessness that Crosby plays with. Teams have to plan around winning their division, and it makes sense to build a defense that can attack the Chiefs\u2019 Patrick Mahomes, the Chargers\u2019 Justin Herbert and the\u00a0Broncos\u2018 Bo Nix. Yes, quarterback is a clear and obvious need, but Ryan is right that the defense has to be built in order for the Raiders to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Mike Tyson<\/span>\u00a0has revealed that he has been living with a foot fungus. The 59-year-old famously never wore socks in the ring throughout his boxing career – and he may now be suffering the effects of that decision. Tyson is one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport and hung up his gloves in 2005 after winning 50 fights and losing seven. He reigned as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world between 1987 and 1990.<\/p>\n

Chelsea 3-0 Wolves: James Collins post-match press conference<\/p>\n

The American made a hotly-anticipated return to the ring last November when he faced\u00a0Jake Paul\u00a0in Texas. The bout was streamed by\u00a0Netflix, with more than 60 million people tuning in to watch. But\u00a0Tyson ultimately lost against a man who is 31 years his junior.<\/p>\n

Tyson appeared as a guest on the talk show\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live\u00a0and when Kimmel asked him why he never wore socks in the ring, the legendary boxer explained: \u201cI only used to for fighting, where that was my image. It was real hardcore, no socks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyson then admitted: \u201cBut then, I somehow discovered that I had a disintegrating dose of foot fungus. And it was really bad. It’s still really bad now.\u201d<\/p>\n

After being asked if the fungus was his \u201cgreatest opponent\u201d, the heavyweight great added: \u201cWell, I would have to say so because it’s still kicking my a** now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel then joked that his guest would be able to advertise Desenex, a brand of antifungal products. But Tyson exclaimed: \u201cDesenex cannot help me. My toes look like they blew up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyson\u2019s most recent fight a year ago proved to be a drab affair, with Paul winning the contest via a unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

But the older of the duo will fight once again next spring after agreeing to enter the ring with Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n

And discussing his bout with Mayweather during an interview with Hard Rock Bet, Tyson insisted: \u201cFloyd wanted to fight me. Think I got a pretty decent relationship with him. I don\u2019t hate him, you know what I\u2019m speaking. I don\u2019t have any harsh feelings. I have no idea [when the fight will take place], maybe in March or April.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul, meanwhile, is\u00a0in talks with Anthony Joshua\u00a0over another blockbuster showdown, with the duo discussing the prospect of going head-to-head in Miami before Christmas.<\/p>\n

And Joshua\u2019s promoter Eddie Heard explained: \u201cWe will see if Paul\u2019s interest is real. Would it be great for Joshua\u2019s legacy? No. But I\u2019ll tell you what is [great] – two-time heavyweight world champion and an Olympic gold medal. This is an opportunity and fair play to Paul if he wants to get in that ring because AJ won\u2019t be messing about.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
