The name being floated around for the Raiders right now is Will Fuller…

Many names are being connected to the Raiders right now, as is customary in the offseason. One of them is Odell Beckham Jr., however, fans should know by now that Las Vegas doesn’t part ways with draft capital.

Instead, maybe veteran receiver Will Fuller could fill Agholor’s void if he leaves ‘Sin City.’

The potential ex-Houston Texan is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason per Spotrac. Fuller’s never been a 1,000-yard receiver in his five-year NFL career but he’s shown flashes of brilliance.

Also, he can stretch the field and his speed would be of much value in this offense. Henry Ruggs III will continue to command the attention of defenses which will provide opportunities for say, a new receiver like Fuller. The team still has Darren Waller as well, so Fuller could end up reaching that career mark in Silver and Black.

He’s averaged 14.9 yards per reception in his career and 676 yards after the catch these past three years alone.

Of course, there’s a downside to that speed. Fuller has yet to play a full NFL season, he’s been riddled by injuries and that should certainly play a role in signing him. He’s gonna command a nice chunk of change, so would a potentially explosive Raiders offense be worth the risk?
