Former Raiders Maurice Hurst And Arden Key Heading Back To The Bay
Two players the Las Vegas Raiders opted to move on from this offseason are heading back to the Bay Area. This time with the San Francisco 49ers.
The Raiders went to work this offseason, revamping their defensive line which had a putrid 2020. In retrospect, they were unable to sustain a reliable pass rush nor stop the run on a consistent basis. To be fair, the free-agent acquisitions of Maliek Collins and Carl Nassib didn’t pan out. With defenses zeroing in on Maxx Crosby, his impact was diminished as well.
Thus, the organization decided to sign Yannick Ngakoue and a slew of veterans along the defensive line. These moves mean that the defensive line will have both newly found depth and a new look. Unfortunately, this meant that Maurice Hurst and Arden Key were the odd men out for Las Vegas.
