Unrestricted free-agent WR Dwayne Harris (Raiders) re-signed with the Oakland Raiders on Monday, March 18. Terms of the contract were immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Harris is a return specialist and not used much as a wide receiver. In 2018 for the Raiders, Harris had only six catches for 40 yards but he had 663 kickoff return yards and 281 punt return yards plus one punt return for a touchdown. This will be his role once again for the Raiders in 2019. |

| Footballguys view: Nelson is part of the revamped WR corps in Oakland but he'll be a small part if he makes the 53-man roster. He's got the speed to stretch the field and will compete for snaps behind starters Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams. |

Raiders | Jordy Nelson cut Thu Mar 14, 05:09 PM
Oakland Raiders WR Jordy Nelson was released Thursday, March 14, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders have revamped their wide receiver corps by trading for Antonio Brown and adding Tyrell Williams in free agency. That means there wasn't any room for Nelson. He's not what he used to be, but Nelson caught 63 passes in 2018 for the Raiders. He'll have a market for his services with a team in need of reliable veteran depth. |

Raiders | Antonio Brown officially traded Wed Mar 13, 04:33 PM
Updating previous reports, Oakland Raiders WR Antonio Brown has officially been traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for third- and fifth-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. The trade became official with the new league year beginning Wednesday, March 13, at 4 p.m. EDT.
| Footballguys view: Brown gets what he wants, the Steelers get what they want and the Raiders get another big time weapon for the offense. Fantasy GMs know that there will be a downgrade going from Ben Roethlisberger to Derek Carr, but Brown still has WR1 potential in 2019. Now that he's happy, we'll see if the Raiders can keep Brown happy. |

Raiders | Oakland agrees with Tyrell Williams Wed Mar 13, 02:07 PM
Los Angeles Chargers impending free-agent WR Tyrell Williams agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Oakland Raiders Wednesday, March 13, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders get a speedy wide receiver to create a new three wide receiver set of Williams, Antonio Brown and Jordy Nelson. Williams stays in the AFC West and should have a larger role than he did with the Chargers over the last couple of seasons. Back in 2016, Williams had 69 catches for 1,059 yards and seven touchdowns. He finished as the no.13 fantasy receiver (standard scoring leagues) that year and is hoping for a bounce back to that level of production. |

Los Angeles Chargers impending free-agent WR Tyrell Williams is likely to be pursued by the Oakland Raiders.

Oakland Raiders impending free-agent TE Jared Cook is a player that the Raiders would like to re-sign, but the team may wait to see what he is being offered in free agency before making a final decision on Cook, according to general manager Mike Mayock.
| Footballguys view: The crop of free agent tight ends isn't that great, so Cook may get quite a bit of interest. Usually when a team says they'll let a guy hit the open market it really means they're moving on. |

Raiders | Derek Carr deemed franchise QB by GM Wed Feb 27, 01:29 PM
Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr was called the team's 'franchise quarterback' by new general manager Mike Mayock on Wednesday, Feb. 27. Mayock went on to say he is also happy with backup QB AJ McCarron. 'I think Derek Carr is a franchise quarterback,' Mayock said. 'I truly believe that. Now, do I also believe that it's a general manager and head coach's job to keep their job open to improve any position on a football team? Sure. But I think it's really difficult to try to improve over a franchise quarterback like the one we have in our building right now.'
| Footballguys view: Carr is their franchise quarterback but that doesn't mean they won't look at quarterbacks in the 2019 NFL draft. Under Gruden in 2018, Carr passed for over 4,000 yards for the first time in his career but he only had 19 touchdowns to go along with 10 interceptions. We'll see if Carr can improve that touchdown total with perhaps better weapons around him this season. |
