The Las Vegas Raiders are coming off their bye week with another roster move. This time, it was signing a veteran wide receiver to add to its offense and the young receiver room.

The Silver and Black signed veteran Tyler Lockett on Monday. Lockett is familiar with some of the Raiders members. He played under head coach Pete Carroll during his time with the Seattle Seahawks. He also knows quarterback Geno Smith, as they were teammates in Seattle as well.

Those two had a great connection in Seattle, and that is one thing they are looking to get by Lockett coming to Las Vegas. Lockett played this season with the Tennessee Titans before asking for his release.

Now they’re teaming up again under Pete Carroll in Las Vegas. having veteran WR in the mix could help, but it remains to be seen how they’ll all gel. With Let’s see how this plays out

Not a fan of the TylerLockett signing. Would rather see us develop Bech and Thornton.

Also what are we doing with Jakobi?

Lockett isn't gonna fix any issues this team currently has.
