Analysis
Whoah, what happened? HC Gruden is out, star WR Ruggs is arrested. The Raiders responded by bringing in coveted HC Josh McDaniels and arguably the best WR in the league Davante Adams. QB Derek Carr can’t complain they’re not trying to win with him. There were a lot of veteran transactions on both sides of the ball. Only time will tell whether it’s a net gain. The Raiders find themselves in one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL, so no free wins, even for a talented squad.
