Should Raiders Pursue CB Deandre Baker Following Cut By Chiefs?
The Las Vegas Raiders still have the financial flexibility to go after a free agent or two. The popular consensus is a right tackle, but what about cornerback Deandre Baker following his release from the Kansas City Chiefs?
Several cornerbacks for the Raiders had solid outings during last week’s Hall of Fame Game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nevertheless, the team could still opt to go after depth at that position. Especially when you consider that they’re still gambling on Travon Mullen’s return.
Should the Las Vegas Raiders take a chance with a former first-round pick?
For his part, Baker found himself the odd man out after the Chiefs infused the cornerback room with new faces. Playing in just ten games in the last two years, Baker accumulated a couple of pass deflections, one sack, and 17 solo tackles. Last season, when he was targeted 24 times, he gave up 18 completions, a touchdown, and 192 yards in pass protection.
