With Martavis Bryant gone, the Raiders needed another wide receiver, likely a dependable one.
And that found one on Monday, as they agreed to a deal with eight-year veteran Brandon LaFell.
The NFL Network first broke the news of the deal and it was confirmed by LaFell's agents a minute later.
Sources: The #Raiders are signing former #Bengals WR Brandon LaFell to a 1-year deal with upside. There was a need after Martavis Bryant was released.
