NFL insider: Raiders are in the Julio Jones sweepstakes
Despite age and injuries catching up, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones can still play at a high level, and it seems like the Las Vegas Raiders are zeroing in on him.
As it stands, the Raiders’ wide receiver room is awfully crowded. The issue is that while it’s pretty full, they could still use a talent upgrade. At what point do you exchange potential and upside for a proven commodity? If you’re Jon Gruden entering your fourth year as head coach, you give it strong consideration. With the Atlanta Falcons deciding that Jones is now available, it could mean that Las Vegas takes a swing at acquiring a top-tier talent.
The Silver and Black made a splash by signing defensive end Yannick Ngakoue earlier this offseason. What if they could do the same on the offensive side of the ball?
