Raiders Agree to Three-Year, $35 Million Deal With WR Jalen Nailor

Las Vegas signals a bet on upside to support an expected rookie quarterback.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets, led by ESPN’s Adam Schefter citing 1 Of 1 Agency, report the agreement includes about $23 million guaranteed during the legal tampering window and will become official when the new league year opens.
  • Jalen Nailor, a 2022 sixth-round pick from Michigan State, leaves Minnesota after working behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and totaling 69 receptions for 1,066 yards and 11 touchdowns over three seasons.
  • The move continues the Raiders’ cap-powered overhaul that has already featured adding center Tyler Linderbaum and retaining cornerback Eric Stokes under coach Klint Kubiak.
  • Interest in Nailor extended to the Vikings, Patriots and Broncos, according to reporting from The Athletic, leaving Minnesota to address receiver depth following his departure.
  • The Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) alum brings strong yards-per-catch marks and durability the past two seasons, drawing both praise for upside and questions over price relative to production.
