Despite wide receiver being one of the Las Vegas Raiders' biggest needs this offseason, the team has done nothing to address the position. Free agency started a month ago and the team hasn't signed anybody notable at the position.
However, there are still some options available. When the Seattle Seahawks released Tyler Lockett, the Raiders seemed like the obvious fit.
He spent most of his career playing under Pete Carroll and has a close relationship with the coach. He may be 32 now but he could be a solid WR3 or WR4 for a team like the Raiders. However, he still remains a free agent.
While Lockett hasn't signed anywhere yet, The Athletic's Vic Tafur is still predicting him to end up in Las Vegas.
"As far as the receiver goes, I think there are some veteran guys still in this market… I still think Tyler Lockett probably winds up here. I think he's waiting to see how this market goes, and I think Stefon Diggs was the last domino to fall," Tafur said on the "Just Win" podcast.
"He got more, probably, than people thought he was going to get, so I think for Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper, [they are] kind of waiting to see if they can get something close to that and Lockett probably is after that. I think it happens at some point, they'll a veteran guy to the mix, because right now their depth at wide receiver is not very good. I think you need another one before the draft."
