In the 2021 offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders’ veteran addition period was summed up this way: Pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue and everyone else.
This year, thus far, it has been a similar tact, but with double the firepower. The huge headlines of the 2022 veteran addition period for the Raiders has been the trade for All Pro wide receiver Davante Adams and the signing of star pass-rusher Chandler Jones. The rest of the Raiders’ offseason so far (they have added 20 other players through free agency and a trade thus far) have been more modest additions, players who fit what the new Las Vegas regime wants to do.
