Raiders Key Pitcher Has Agreed to $90 million Contract Deal With the Buccaneers, Considering…
The wide receiver and safety classes have not developed quickly thus far in free agency, so there may be some good deals to be found.
Naturally, the Las Vegas Raiders don’t need a bargain boost at either position right now, but it would be wise for them to give it some thought, especially at wide receiver, where they recently cut former Pro Bowl standout Hunter Renfrow.
Undoubtedly, adding players to the safety or receiver positions would be a luxury, particularly given their pressing requirements and the fact that they already have less salary-cap space due to the Jimmy Garoppolo decision from June 1. However, if the cost is reasonable…
The Las Vegas Raiders, led by Coach Antonio Pierce, have made it clear that they need a defense that is hostile, physical, mobile, and nimble. They added Christian Wilkins, the defensive tackle equal of Maxx Crosby, on the opening day of NFL Free Agency. Crosby is the embodiment of that sentiment. We have all of the information from today’s media conference with new Raider DT Christian Wilkins, the embodiment of the team.
Wilkins, a two-time team captain for the Dolphins, has amassed 353 career tackles since joining the league in 2019. His total tackle total since then ranks second among defensive lineman in NFL history during their first five seasons on the field. With 63 tackles (36 solo), 9.0 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, two passes defensed, 23 quarterback hits, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries in his final season, Wilkins started all 17 games. His single-season career best of 9.0 sacks placed him fifth among defensive tackles in the NFL.
