Let’s look at the Las Vegas Raiders’ wide receiver position after the draft.

New free agent added:

Jalen Nailor (Minnesota Vikings), Dareke Young (Seattle Seahawks).

Free agent who departed:

None.

Free agent who returned:

Current free agents:

Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman

Traded for:

None.

Released:

None.

Draft:
