The Las Vegas Raiders have found their replacement for Nelson Agholor.
According to longtime NFL reporter Adam Caplan, the Raiders have agreed to negotiate the deal with the former Buffalo Bills receiver for less than $ 4 million for one season.
Unless the Raiders try to sign a big ticket receiver like Kenny Golladay or JuJu Smith-Schuster, it is their primary receiver in free agency. They were also attached to AJ Green and Marvin Jones. With so many other needs, it could be the one free agent at the post office.
I would expect Brown to play an Agholor-like role in Las Vegas. Let’s see if he can be just as reliable as Agholor in 2020, who had 48 catches and eight touchdowns for the Raiders before getting a big deal with the New England Patriots this week.
Brown has been more productive than Agholor in his career, so there is hope.
Brown, who can stretch the field, had 33 catches in nine games last season. He had 72 receptions in 2019 and fit into a very productive passing game. He should fit in well and still have second-year players Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards develop into big producers,
If Brown can stay healthy, it’s a decent addition at a reasonable price.
