While the past few seasons have felt like a barren wasteland for Las Vegas Raiders fans in terms of hope, it has not been all bad for the team.
The Raiders have at least been able to boast one of the most reliable special teams units in the league. Headlined by kicker Daniel Carlson and punter AJ Cole, the Raiders have at least been able to be comforted by knowing that they can work themselves into advantageous positions. On Monday, the Raiders invested into keeping this unit together by signing Cole to a four-year extension worth $15.
