The mere fact that Perry Riley Jr has not been signed by a team this offseason is a bit strange. He had a resurgent season with the Raiders in 2016 after he was signed following week four and inserted as the starter for the remaining 11 games of the season and the team’s Wild Card playoff game.
Riley had spent the first six seasons of his career in Washington and was available mainly because he had been injured. Once the Raiders realized Ben Heeney and Cory James weren’t the answer, and Riley was a now healthy free agent option, he got the call.
