The Las Vegas Raiders needed help at the linebacker position all offseason after the loss of both Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo. They found early replacements like Elandon Roberts and Devin White, but they clearly felt that they still needed reinforcements.
This came in the form of Germaine Pratt, whom the team signed later in the offseason, and Jamal Adams, who was added just before training camp. While Pratt's signing was met with a strong reception, fans were concerned about throwing Adams into the mix.
Adams, however, was a revelation during training camp, and he was able to parlay that into a strong preseason performance against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday.
