ESPN’s Ben Solak predicts the Raiders will win the 2029 Super Bowl after trading two first-round picks to the Cleveland Browns for receiver Denzel Boston and signing him to a $55 million deal that offseason. Solak called the projected contract a bargain.
Solak says Las Vegas needs a clear top-15 receiver. He describes Boston as an early-season 2026 playmaker and projects that Boston will have consecutive 1,000-yard seasons by 2029. Solak also says rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza may need a season or so to adjust to coach Klint Kubiak’s pro-style offense.
The article describes the Raiders as a work in progress, with needs on both lines and at receiver. A playoff berth this season would be only their third since 2002, and the article says their near-term chances depend largely on Mendoza’s play once he takes the field.
