And so it came to pass. Six days since the start of the free agent negotiating period, the Raiders finally get a wide receiver. They have signed former Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor according to Jerry McDonald of the East Bay Times.
Adam Schefter added that the deal with Agholor is for one year.
Receiver was arguably the Raiders top need, but the free agent market was not great this year. If you’re wondering about Agholor’s speed, he ran a 4.42 at the 2015 combine.
Agholor was the 20th overall pick in the 2015 draft out of USC. He has been a disappointment for his draft position, though he was fairly productive for a couple of years there.
His best seasons were 2017-18 when he had over 60 catches and over 700 yards in each season while averaging 12 yards per catch and scoring a combined 12 touchdowns. Last season he missed five games to injury while putting up a career-low 9.3 yards per catch.
