Dez Bryant wants former Mike Williams to sign a free agent contract with the Raiders.

This season, free agency has been a frenzy as numerous clubs have made big acquisitions and the Las Vegas Raiders have begun to implement new head coach Antonio Pierce’s plans for the squad.

The Raiders’ four-year contract with outstanding defensive tackle Christian Wilkinson is the greatest move they have made thus far. As one of the top defensive players available, Wilkinson was paired with ace edge rusher Maxx Crosby by Las Vegas.

When they cut Jimmy Garoppolo and signed Garnder Minshew to a two-year contract, the offense also received a facelift. Aidan O’Connell is anticipated to challenge Minshew for the starting quarterback position, but Minshew naturally has an advantage because he has more games and experience under his belt. With Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and Tre  Tucker, the wide receiver room is largely set, but Dez Bryant thinks the Raiders should consider adding Mike Williams in free agency.

Given the Los Angeles Chargers’ salary cap sheet, Williams was a predicted cap casualty, but he is currently maybe the best wide receiver available in free agency. Williams has a long history of injuries and tore his ACL in Week 3, but when he’s on the field and healthy, he can stretch the field like no other.

Despite losing Josh Jacobs to the Green Bay Packers in free agency, the team may still rely heavily on the run game offensively. Zamir White seems destined to play the major role, but Las Vegas will probably use the 2024 NFL Draft to add some depth.

Though the prospect of adding Williams could be too much to resist if he doesn’t wind up landing the deal he wants, it looks like Las Vegas will fill out the rest of the roster with draft picks and last-minute free agents.

Raiders sign Harrison Bryant, a tight end, to a one-year contract.
Due to their lack of obvious holes, the Raiders haven’t made much noise offensively during free agency. To support backup Michael Mayers, they did, however, agree to a one-year contract with Harrison Bryant.
