The Oakland Raiders have a big need at wide receiver heading into 2019, and could utilize some cap space to bring in a playmaker.
When it comes to the 2019 Oakland Raiders, there are certainly enough holes to fix on both sides of the ball. Oakland is starving for an edge rusher, needs help on all three levels of the defense, and their wide receiver group needs an overhaul.
Last season, the Raiders went into the year with Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson atop the depth chart, but that changed when Cooper was traded away to the Dallas Cowboys. In return, the Raiders got a first round pick from the Cowboys, and could end up using the pick to add talent to the wide receiver position.
In free agency, there are a ton of good options in the passing game, and we take a look at three that could really help the Raiders in 2019. The Raiders have a solid quarterback in Derek Carr, but the lack of weapons really hurt this offense in 2018.
Here are three wide receivers the Raiders could target in free agency.
