One rookie’s issue could lead another to thrive with Raiders

July 17 is the first day when rookies can report to training camp for the Las Vegas Raiders, but they face a dilemma that is popping up for most teams in the NFL.

When the Houston Texans signed 34th overall pick wide receiver Jayden Higgins to a fully guaranteed rookie contract, it became the first deal of its kind handed out to a second-round pick. The Cleveland Browns had no alternative but to offer the same terms to the pick before Higgins (linebacker Carson Schwesinger), but those two are the only second-round picks to be signed so far with training camps closing in.
