"The best ability, is availability." -- Anonymous
HENDERSON, Nev. -- Go ahead, then, add another maxim, albeit a cautionary one, to the Las Vegas Raiders' already-full wall of slogans and affirmations. Slide it in somewhere between Commitment to Excellence, Pride and Poise and Just win, baby!
Because when it came to the head-scratching season that was the Raiders' 2022 campaign -- three-first-team All-Pro selections on a team that was only 6-11? -- a major storyline was the inability of a couple of Pro Bowl pass-catchers to remain, well, available.
