Raiders Get A Jump On The Rest Of The NFL Wednesday

The Las Vegas Raiders have embodied the city they represent by spending money throughout the offseason.

They gave contract extensions to Maxx Crosby (four years, $94 million), Hunter Renfrow (two years, $32 million), and Derek Carr (three years, $121.5 million).

That’s not all because they signed Chandler Jones to a three-year, $52.5 million deal.

But the biggest deal went to All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams, who received a five-year, $141.25 million contract after being traded by the Green Bay Packers.

The Raiders made these deals to have a head start against their opponents, especially in the hotly contested AFC West with the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Chargers.

Speaking of a head start, Las Vegas will also be the first team to bring everyone back, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed.

Raiders become the first NFL team to open training camp, with all players – veterans and rookies – due at their facility today.

By this time next week, every training camp will be underway.

Schefter tweeted, “Raiders become the first NFL team to open training camp, with all players – veterans and rookies – due at their facility today. By this time next week, every training camp will be underway.”

Their rookies reported July 18 and their veterans will check in today.

The Raiders will have their training camp at the Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center in Henderson, Nevada.

Three days after the Raiders veterans report for camp, the Los Angeles Rams will have their rookies and veterans participate at their training camp at the University of California, Irvine.

 

Raiders Would Like To Build Cohesion Within The Team

Aside from having new players, the team will also have a new head coach in Josh McDaniels.

The extra days ahead will help him install his system, especially on the offense.

It also helps Jones see his fit to the Raiders’ defense as he lines up with Crosby, Bilal Nichols, and Johnathan Hankins.

The team hopes that starting early will help them rack up victories during the 2022 season.
