The Davante Adams trade has gotten a lot of attention over the last few days and deservedly so. He’s the best receiver in the NFL and he’s been reunited with his college quarterback in Derek Carr. However, that might not even be the best move the Raiders have made this offseason.
In a recent article by former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum, he said that Chandler Jones to the Raiders was the best free-agent signing in the league this year. Period. Here is a snippet of his thoughts via ESPN:
“He immediately makes Maxx Crosby better, as it’s hard to double-team two edge rushers at the same time. For the Raiders to get to where they want to go, they have to beat Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson and Justin Herbert in the AFC West. Having two difference-making defensive ends is a great way to improve.”
