PERRYMAN PICKED UP BY LAS VEGAS

The Las Vegas Raiders acquired linebacker Denzel Perryman and a seventh-round draft pick in 2022 from the Carolina Panthers for a sixth-round draft pick in 2022.

What does it give the Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders could be without middle linebacker Nicholas Morrow for several weeks due to an ankle injury. So, adding inside 'backer Perryman here makes a ton of sense.

What does it give the Carolina Panthers
The Panthers were likely to use Perryman as a backup linebacker this season, so they decided to take the one-round draft pick upgrade in '22 from the Raiders instead.

Fantasy impact
In the short term, Perryman should supply a fair amount of tackles (and not much else) for Las Vegas. However, once Morrow returns, Perryman is likely to come off the bench. Pass on Perryman.
