Should the Las Vegas Raiders sign CB James Bradberry?

Why it makes sense

The Silver and Black still do not know what they have in Trayvon Mullen, who was injured once again in 2021, causing the team to once again have a hole at cornerback. With Ya-Sin at one outside spot and Hobbs in the slot, Bradberry would fit right in as a boundary corner. His experience in the system should be invaluable to a team that has lots of newcomers as well.

Bradberry to Las Vegas is an easy match to make. Alas, the salary cap may create issues. Simply, the Raiders will not be able to afford Bradberry until they can get money off the books on June 2nd.

Regardless, if Las Vegas wants Bradberry, and they should, they will make the move possible by moving money around. As the team prepares to take on the loaded offenses of the AFC West, Bradberry would be another step in legitimizing the Raiders’ playoff hopes.
