Serious, unsurious, or for entertainment purposes only.

We revisit this conversation as it pertain to some of the top headlines across the National Football League

and take a look at the Silver and Black and where they are in their quest to go from being

unsurious to absolutely serious.

That plus more on Wednesday's edition of the Locked on Raiders podcast for July 16th, 2025.

And if you want to be a part of the show, as many of you do, the Lockdown Raider podcast voicemail line at 707-654-4-6-93. And you can imagine plenty of feedback that we've been getting all week long, especially when we start talking about the Mount Rushmore for the Raiders and how that's basically impossible. So got a ton of feedback that we'll get to in segment number three calls, text, not just about Mount Rushmore, but many different subjects brought to the table. Even have a tweet, as a matter of fact, that will bring to the table in segment number three. Basically, it'll be your time to shine as we close out the show for today. Segment number two, we'll take a look at the Raiders exclusively when it comes to serious, unsurious, or for entertainment purposes only as my guy, Joe Fortinball from ESPN, relayed and presented to me a few months ago. A matter of fact, when Pete Carroll was announced as the head coach of the Raiders, Joe Fortinball was on my radio show and broke it down and said three different categories of teams across the National Football League. And for the longest, as he knows, because he covered the Raiders not only in the Bay Area, but here in Las Vegas, the Raiders were very unserious. Now they're trying to become a serious team. So let's go through the checklist in segment number two and see are they on that verge or on

their way to being serious.

We'll do that all.

Segment number two.

Here is segment number one, news and notes of the day.

And we'll scatter shoot with news across the National Football League and see what teams

are being serious and acting serious, what ones are unsurious, and who is

strictly for entertainment purposes only. We'll jump into that after I tell you about the title

sponsor of the show, and that's Fandual. Right now, new customers can get $150 in bonus bets when

your first $5 bet wins. So let's go around the league real quick and talk about some of the top

headlines.

These are coming from ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. 49ers wide receiver, Juan Jennings. It's scheduled to make $7.5 million this season and final year's deal, but he wants a new contract or a trade. That's what Adam Schaefter tweeted out, 49ers extended Jennings deal last year, but that does not change how Jennings feels about this year stop me if you haven't heard this about somebody that's in the 49ers organization wanting their contract taken care of. And stop me if you haven't heard about a 49ers pass catcher wanting something done with their contract. If it's not George Kittle, it's Debo Samuel. If it's not Debo Samuel, it's Brandon Ayuk. If it's not Brandon

Nyuk, it's Joanne Jennings, right? Not to mention Trent Williams and others that have been

holding out or have held out or caused this issue or some kind of riff because of their contract.

From an organization in the 49ers that used to be very quiet, just go about their business, acquire

talent, get ready for the

upcoming season and go out there and try to compete to put themselves in the biggest game
