LAS VEGAS — One way to support a defense in need of a major rebuild is to field an offense that can score plenty of points.
That was part of the Raiders’ rationale for acquiring former Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday on a three-year deal worth $33 million, including $21 million guaranteed.
The thought process is that Meyers will team with Davante Adams, Josh Jacobs and Hunter Renfrow in an offense quarterbacked by Jimmy Garoppolo designed to get more out of that side of the ball to protect a defense that remains under construction.
