The perfect countermove. That’s succinctly surmises what Las Vegas Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler did by landing Chandler Jones in free agency this past week.
The addition of Jones to the Raiders defense was the Silver & Black’s answer to the Denver Broncos solving their long-standing quarterback quandary by trading for Seattle Seahawks signal caller Russell Wilson. The swap of draft picks and players between Seattle and Denver on March 8 caused quite the ripple effect in the AFC West. The Los Angeles Chargers responded first by trading for ex-Raider and Chicago Bears pass rusher Khalil Mack on March 10.
