I agree with the local beat writers sometimes (not always) being a step behind, but when Lap shot it down as laughable, I feel like that's as solid of an inside source as we can get.
Ian Rapoport appears to have confirmed that the Raiders and Bengals had trade talks regarding Burfict.
I Google searched "Ian Rapoport Burfict Raiders" to find articles.
