Raiders, WR Keelan Cole agree to deal

The Las Vegas Raiders are adding another prospective Davante Adams complementary piece. 

Former Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets wideout Keelan Cole will head to Las Vegas on a one-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.

Cole will join Adams, Demarcus Robinson and Mack Hollins as Raider receiver additions this offseason. The team still rosters Bryan Edwards, who is going into his third season. Hunter Renfrow is entrenched as Vegas’ slot player. The Raiders did not draft a wideout last month.

Cole caught on with the Jaguars out of Kentucky Wesleyan in 2017. With Allen Robinson going down early that season, Cole led the Jaguars with 748 yards as a rookie. Cole, 29, has only missed two games throughout his career.

The Jets gave Cole a one-year deal worth $5.5M last year. Given the timing of this pact, it is unlikely Cole’s Raiders agreement surpasses that price. Cole caught 28 passes for 449 yards and a touchdown with the Jets. He scored a career-high five touchdowns in his contract year in 2020.
