It is clear that the Raiders intend to be active in free agency this year. So far, they have only signed one external free agent, who is in charge of Yannick Ngakoue. Mike Mayock recently made it clear that the Raiders are looking to delve into free agency this year and have a lot of holes to fill.
One of the positions they want to bring to someone is the wide receiver. And with Nelson Agholor signing with the Patriots to open a free agency, they have to look outside.
The Raiders have been tied with veteran AJ Green, but clearly at the twilight of his career, Green would not be a priority signing. More than an alternative option.
There are a handful of major receptors for free agents. One of the first to accept the terms was Marvin Jones Jr. He headed to Jacksonville. And, according to Mike Silver, the Raiders were also trying to sign former receiver Lions.

According to ESPN reports, the Jones deal is a two-year, $ 14.5 million deal, with a total guarantee of $ 9.2 million Adam Schefter.
That deal comes a day after WR Corey Davis had already accepted the Jets’ terms.
But even with Davis and Jones missing, there is still a lot of talent in the receiver, including the principal, former Jones teammate Kenny Golladay, and former Steelers Pro Bowl receiver, JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Others include: TY Hilton, Curtis Samuel, Sammy Watkins, Keenan Cole and Breshad Perriman
