The Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> made some impressive moves and seemingly are bringing Maxx Crosby back.<\/p>\n

However, they could still be searching for a major upgrade at WR, and Mark Morales-Smith of Sports Illustrated believes the Raiders could be a potential landing spot for star wideout Tyreek Hill, who was let go by the Miami Dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas made an effort to improve its receiver room early in free agency by signing Jalen Nailor, but Morales-Smith believes that move alone won\u2019t be enough to improve the offense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Raiders added Jalen Nailor in free agency, but they still have one of the worst WR corps in the league,\u201d Morales-Smith wrote<\/a>. \u201cThat isn’t good enough if they want their rookie quarterback to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of that reality, the Raiders might need to pursue a better option to add a proven star, despite the questions about Hill amid his injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith their salary cap now being a bit of a disaster after the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> pulled out of the Maxx Crosby deal, Las Vegas may have to take a big swing on a high-upside option like Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he returns healthy and is anywhere close to 100%, he will be the perfect bridge wide receiver for the Raiders and their young quarterback until they are able to acquire a true long-term option at WR1.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Las Vegas, adding a player with Hill\u2019s speed would instantly change the dynamic of its offense while providing a reliable target for Fernando Mendoza, if it goes that route.<\/p>\n
