There is a lot of optimism surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders going into training camp, and for good reasons. Pete Carroll has added excitement and energy to a franchise that desperately needed it, and the addition of Geno Smith gives the Raiders a viable quarterback for the first time in several years.
The Raiders also have a superstar tight end in Brock Bowers, coming off an All-Pro season, and they’ve now added Ashton Jeanty to give the offense even more juice. While no one is predicting the Raiders to win the Super Bowl or even win the AFC West, this is a franchise that appears to be heading in the right direction for the first time in forever.
