Making a trade for arguably the best receiver in the NFL may seem like anything but conservative. And you could argue that it isn’t if you like. But unless you’re really looking for negatives, it’s hard to criticize how the Raiders went about acquiring Antonio Brown.
Friday, the team made several moves to retain key players. They weren’t flashy, but necessary. They placed round two tenders on starting cornerback Daryl Worley and receiving scat back, Jalen Richard. They also held onto safety and special teams maven Erik Harris on a 2-year deal.
