Had the previous regime remained in place, Kristian Wilkerson’s roster chances would’ve likely been substantially higher.
Instead, said administration is gone, and it’s now Antonio Pierce at head coach and Tom Telesco as general manager for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Former head honcho and GM — Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler — were all to familiar with Wilkerson. The wide receiver came up in the NFL ranks as an undrafted free agent out of Southeast Missouri State with the New England Patriots back in 2020. And when Wilkerson was signed by Ziegler last offseason, the wide outs roster chances were increased based on that history.
