No one enters this offseason with more money to spend than the Las Vegas Raiders.

Free agency week has arrived, and it's safe to expect the Raiders to pursue all sorts of available free agents to join a roster that needs plenty of reshaping. They've also got the No. 1 overall pick next month, which is expected to be used on Fernando Mendoza, the QB from Indiana.

Of course, the Raiders didn't wait until free agency to get their offseason rolling. They've already traded away Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for a pair of first-round picks.

That expanded what was already a lot of open cap space even wider, and now the free agent world is their oyster.

There are certain spots the Raiders don't need upgrades. QB is one, with Mendoza incoming. RB is another, after drafting Ashton Jeanty last year. And TE fits that mold, too, with young star Brock Bowers.

Almost everywhere else, the Raiders can improve. That'll make the ongoing free agency particularly fascinating.

It'll definitely make sense to make moves at wide receiver, to give Mendoza the best chance of success.

We'll be keeping track of all the happenings for the Raiders right here.

10:10 p.m.: The Raiders have a new kicker. They've signed Matthew Gay, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

6:19 p.m.: Kenny Pickett is leaving in free agency to join the Carolina Panthers, again via Schefter.

4:27 p.m.: After a few big moves, the Raiders quieted down. There's still plenty more to be done, and lots of names still available to be signed.

2:20 p.m.: News that Mike Evans is leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to sign with the San Francisco 49ers is shocking. It also officially removes Vegas from possibly ending up with Evans.

2:15 p.m.: The Raiders strike again. They sign WR Jalen Nailor from the Vikings for three years and $35 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

1:46 p.m.: The Raiders have made a splash. It's a three-year, $81 million deal with center Tyler Linderbaum from the Ravens that makes him the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history. Deal reported by Adam Schefter.

12 noon: The NFL's legal tampering period opens. Reports from insiders will come soon about agreed-upon signings. Nothing can be officially signed until Wednesday.

Mumbai: More than 93,000 scholarship applications from students seeking higher education are pending verification in Maharashtra, the state government informed the legislative council on Tuesday.

Visit aportal.club for more information.

Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil, in his written reply, said that verification is often stalled because students fail to attach the required documents, don't submit hard copies of their applications to colleges, or upload incorrect documents on the portal.

Shiv Sena MLC Manisha Kayande and a few other legislators raised the issue, flagging concerns that around 1.42 lakh students had been deprived of scholarships over the last five years till December 2025, raising fears that financial constraints could lead to students dropping out.

According to data available on the MahaDBT portal as of February 27, a total of 93,326 applications are awaiting verification, the minister said.

He said that as many as 1,42,383 applications were pending verification till December 2025. However, after instructions were issued to divisional joint directors to expedite scrutiny, action was taken on 49,057 applications.

Breaking down the latest figures, Patil said 81,753 of the pending applications relate to the current academic year (2025-26), while 11,573 are backlog cases from the last four years.

The state government currently implements 14 scholarship schemes through the MahaDBT online portal.

The data presented by the government showed that between 2021-22 and 2025-26, it had received a total of 9,68,597 applications under these schemes, of which scholarships had been sanctioned for 7,80,495 students.

"A total fund of Rs 708.41 crore has been distributed to beneficiaries during this period, ensuring effective use of government funds," Patil said.

The minister also dismissed concerns about students dropping out due to non-receipt of scholarships, saying that the department has not received any complaints about students discontinuing their education because of this.
