Defensive tackle Bilal Nichols enters his second training camp with the Las Vegas Raiders with something to prove. After signing a two-year, $11 million contract as a free agent during the 2022 offseason, Nichols’ first year with the Raiders was a disappointment.
He had logged eight sacks and 12 tackles for loss during his previous two seasons with the Chicago Bears, picking up five and seven in 2020 and three and five in 2021, only to be held to just one and a half quarterback takedowns and four TFL a year ago in Las Vegas.
