The Las Vegas Raiders made no shortage of changes this offseason when new head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek came to town. While an entire roster cannot be turned over in just one year, pivotal adjustments were made right away by the new regime.
One of those adjustments was moving second-year lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson into the starting center spot, which made veteran Andre James expendable. As a result, they released James at the beginning of free agency, and he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers, an AFC West rival.
While jumping ship to a divisional foe is largely frowned upon, James' departure to Los Angeles did not ruffle any feathers within Raider Nation.
