Keenan Allen could be an excellent match for the Las Vegas Raiders if the group decides so as to add one other vast receiver.
Granted, the Raiders chosen three vast receivers within the 2025 NFL Draft in Jack Bech (second spherical, 58th general), Dont’e Thornton Jr. (fourth spherical, 108th general) and Tommy Mellott (sixth spherical, 213rd general).
These receivers be a part of Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Alec Bachman, Key’Shawn Smith, Jeff Foreman, Ketron Jackson Jr., Shedrick Jackson and Kyle Phillips. You possibly can pencil in Meyers and Tucker as starters, with star tight finish Brock Bowers, who led the group in receiving yards with 1,194 yards final season.
Of these eight wideouts, Meyers performed 91 video games, adopted by Tucker with 33. The remaining is not going to lower it for QB Geno Smith, who will want dependable receivers to throw to apart from Bowers and Meyers.
In a chunk, Vinny Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review Journal was requested a query from a reader if the Raiders will add a participant by commerce or free company.
“Coach Pete Carroll and basic supervisor John Spytek won’t ever be utterly glad with their roster. They’ll at all times be tinkering. So anticipate some strikes earlier than camp begins,” Bonsignore wrote.
A kind of strikes ought to be Allen, who is aware of the AFC West properly.
Allen is aware of receivers coach Chris Beatty. Beatty was with Allen while both were with the Los Angeles Chargers and Chicago Bears.
It would not harm that he has 11,274 receiving yards and 66 touchdowns to his resume. He would give Smith a dependable goal, if he can keep wholesome.
He was coping with a heel and ankle harm final season, however assuming he is again to full energy, the Raiders’ vast receiving room will likely be upgraded, if Allen is signed.
