When Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin missed out on mandatory minicamp, trade rumors began to fly around.
One of the teams listed as a potential landing spot was the Las Vegas Raiders. With unproven options behind Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers in the passing game and plenty of cap space remaining, the Raiders could have easily fit McLaurin on to their roster. However, most reports came with the caveat that McLaurin’s holdout was not as serious as others, and a deal was expected to come sooner rather than later.
One month later, and the situation has become one that the Raiders could take advantage of.
