HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders have entered the chat.
Indeed, with the ever-escalating arms race in the AFC West -- a new quarterback in Denver in Russell Wilson, the Los Angeles Chargers adding a familiar face in elite edge rusher Khalil Mack and an opportunistic cornerback in J.C. Jackson -- the Raiders finally got into the act Wednesday with a couple of splashy moves that are more than reactionary ones.
Chandler Jones agreeing to a three-year deal worth more than $51 million, per NFL Network, to join forces with Maxx Crosby, who just inked a $95 million extension, gives the Raiders some firepower against a division awash in QB talent -- Wilson, Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City and Justin Herbert with the Chargers.
