The Las Vegas Raiders are making moves again during training camp.
The team is in Costa Mesa, California, which is in SoCal near the Los Angeles area, as they are trying to reconnect and get back to some of those roots from the 80s. It’s a smart idea, as some fans from that side of the country can see the silver and black up close and personal.
As for training camp, the Raiders are getting to work. They are set to put the pads on on Tuesday, which is where the real work starts. That’s when we could start seeing how the coaching staff really feels about certain players and position groups. Some of them you can’t really analyze well without pads on.
As for one of their best position groups, or so we thought a few months ago, the Raiders wide receiver room is seeing some changes.
After seeing that Jalen Guyton is dealing with an injury, and Michael Gallup is retiring, the Raiders want to add some more bodies in that room to try and get a feel for what they need or what can be improved in terms of skillset and fit.
So, they are signing another receiver.
According to the team themselves, the Raiders are signing wide receiver Terrell Bynum. This move comes at a cost, though, as the Raiders have 90 players on the roster, and they had to release one as well. So, they are waiving Darien Butler with a failed physical.
Bynum was on the Los Angeles Chargers last season with Tom Telesco, so the familiarity is there. Now, it’s time to see if he can be a difference-maker.
