Three moves the Raiders should make after signing Casey Hayward
The Las Vegas Raiders added to their defensive backfield mere days after closing up shop on what was a questionable 2021 NFL Draft.
According to NFL insider Josina Anderson, the Raiders have signed former Los Angeles Chargers Pro Bowl cornerback Casey Hayward.
This move reunites Hayward with former Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who was just recently hired to serve in the same role with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Hayward, 31, was a surprise release of the Chargers earlier this offseason. Simply put, he did not fit new head coach Brandon Staley’s defensive scheme. The former Green Bay Packers second-round pick earned Pro Bowl honors back in 2016 and 2017 before seeing his game drop off a tad recently. He’ll join the likes of Trayvon Mullen and first-round bust Damon Arnette at cornerback with the Raiders.
Here’s a look at three more moves embattled general manager Mike Mayock and Co. could still make as the NFL offseason gets going.
