The Las Vegas Raiders have taken a chance on Solomon Thomas, and the hope is that he can stay healthy, and finally reach his potential.

The Las Vegas Raiders went into free agency needing to upgrade on all three levels of their defense, this after Mike Mayock said that they were missing playmakers at every position group. Early in free agency, the Raiders landed a playmaker, bringing in Yannick Ngakoue, a guy the team had coveted for quite some time.
