## Resource

Veteran cornerback Taron Johnson’s absence from Raiders workouts—rumored to be over contract demands—isn’t a crisis, and might actually benefit the team. With plenty of time before the season, the coaching staff is letting rookie Treydan Stukes seize the spotlight. Drafted as a safety but seen as the future nickel corner, Stukes is getting reps and could move to the slot sooner than expected—especially with the team’s safety depth thinning. Johnson’s underwhelming 2023 performance and looming contract talks open the door for Stukes to step into the role faster, turning potential frustration into a developmental opportunity.
