If the Raiders cannot land wide receiver Davante Adams, here are five free-agent wideouts they should consider bringing in.

After a few days of searching, the Las Vegas Raiders finally have their new head coach and general manager in Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler. These coaches have a big offseason ahead of them, likely look to turn a decent playoff team into a serious Super Bowl contender.

That starts with free agency, where Ziegler will be able to take his first steps as an NFL general manager.

There is no doubt that Ziegler will look to address the wide receiver position after the team lost Henry Ruggs this past fall when he killed a woman and her dog in a tragic car crash. Many fans have been clamoring for Davante Adams to be Las Vegas’ new top receiving threat, who has history with Derek Carr and who is probably the top receiver in the league.

However, if Adams doesn’t get franchise tagged, then it’s rumored that he’ll be looking to make around $30 million a year. Ziegler may not be looking to spend that much money as a first time GM, especially if there are other holes on the roster that he wants to fill,

If that’s the case, then these are the top five alternative free agent receivers that Las Vegas could look into if they feel like Adams is too expensive. And before we get into the nitty-gritty of that, here are a few honorable mentions.

  • Deonte Harris
  • Allen Robinson
