Raiders free agent target – Julio Jones, WR

2021 Key Stats

  • 14 Yards Per Reception
  • 31 Receptions
  • 1 Drop

The Raiders traded for arguably the best NFL wide receiver this offseason in Davante Adams. However, the team could still add another receiving option after opting to not draft one this past draft. Julio Jones is a two-time All-Pro who has seen his production drop significantly with injuries and a decade-plus career taking a toll.

Those concerns aside, if healthy, Jones can still be a viable option in this Raiders offense. He’s one of the greatest wide receivers in history, and even after being hobbled, Jones still managed to average 14 yards per reception last season.

The fact is, Jones will likely bounce back next season, and being the third option behind Adams and Hunter Renfrow could have the makings of an explosive offense.
