In 2020, Nelson Agholor was the clear top wide receiver for the Las Vegas Raiders, while their two rookie receivers did not make a big impact. The Raiders had one of the most efficient passing games in the NFL in 2020, led mostly by Derek Carr and Darren Waller, but you cannot mention the passing game of the Raiders without bringing up Agholor.
After a down year in 2019, Agholor was known more as a meme than a WR1 in the NFL. When the Raiders signed him going into the 2020 season, the move was met with no lack of criticism, and fortunately for the Raiders, Agholor silenced the critics, recording 896 yards for eight touchdowns.
With so much uncertainty at the position group, especially with Tyrell Williams being lost for the year, and two rookies coming in, Agholor took advantage of his opportunity. It took a few games for the team to really start to get him involved, but once he got his rapport with Derek Carr going, he quickly became the deep threat this team was lacking.
Agholor had one of the biggest seasons of his career, but the downside of that is that other teams will be looking at Agholor, potentially offering him money that the Raiders simply do not have. If Nelson Agholor decides to not resign with the Raiders, how will that affect the young receivers on the roster?
