Damian Lillard demands Las Vegas Raiders to sign key Dallas Cowboys star
NBA star Damian Lillard wants the Las Vegas Raiders to go get one Dallas Cowboys player on the back of their recent defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders played host to the Chiefs on Sunday in what was expected to be, and indeed was, a close game.
NBA star Damian Lillard has urged the Las Vegas Raiders to secure the services of Dallas Cowboys player George Pickens. The Raiders faced the Chiefs in a closely contested game on Sunday, ultimately falling short with a 30-27 defeat. This loss has cost the Raiders their perfect season record, while the Chiefs have gained ground in the AFC West.
In response to the defeat, Lillard took to X/Twitter to demand the Raiders sign Pickens. The 2026 season is only halfway through, but Pickens has already made an impact with 18 receptions for 225 yards and no touchdowns in four games. Last season, Pickens was even more dominant, recording 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns, which were personal career bests.
However, the Raiders must now focus on their upcoming match against the New England Patriots. The Patriots have a 2-2 record in the 2026/27 season, with their most recent victory being a 29-26 win over the Buffalo Bills. This win could be crucial for the Raiders as they aim to finish atop the AFC West, as the Chiefs' next game is against the Los Angeles Chargers, who have yet to secure a victory this season.
