Silver Minings: Nelson Agholor’s future with the Raiders

There has been a lot of recent speculation about the future of Las Vegas Raiders free agent wide receiver Nelson Agholor.

There has been unconfirmed reports that he is likely to come back to the Raiders after a productive 2020 season. But there are other reports that said he will likely test the open market. Fans want him back that’s for sure.

No matter where Agholor plays, he will be getting a pay raise. Agholor played under a one-year deal worth just over $1 million in 2020. He far outproduced that deal as he had 48 catches for 898 yards and he had eight scores. Agholor was a big-play machine for Derek Carr.

The Raiders will be able to pay Agholor, especially since fellow receiver Tyrell Williams will likely be cut. But the real question is will Agholor give other teams a chance to get an even bigger deal?
