Sources: The #Raiders are trading RB/returner Lynn Bowden Jr and a 6th rounder to the #Dolphins in exchange for a 4th round pick, the same pick Miami just got from Vegas. The versatile Bowden was a third-rounder this year.

The Las Vegas Raiders career of Lynn Bowden Jr. is ending before it even begins.
A third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Bowden is already being traded to the Miami Dolphins along with a sixth-round pick for a fourth-round pick, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Bowden was a jack of all trades at Kentucky, playing wide receiver and quarterback, establishing himself as an explosive playmaker with the ball in his hands. The Raiders listed him as a running back after drafting him, and will now be shipping him to Miami for a later pick than the one they just spent on him.
It’s a strange move for the Raiders, but gives the Dolphins another promising weapon for rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
