Silver Minings: Raiders announce new players’ jersey numbers

The Las Vegas Raiders certainly have been movers and shakers this offseason, making splash transaction after splash transaction. From a brand new coaching staff to several new players joining the team, the 2021 Raiders will look a lot different compared to the 2020 version of the team.

While it will absolutely be a welcomed sight, seeing Davante Adams donning No. 17 and Chandler Jones sporting No. 55 in the Silver and Black might take a little getting used to, and the same goes for the long list of other new faces to join the squad. Luckily, the Raiders’ social media accounts gave us a preview of what the new threads will look like and simultaneously shared all of the new guys’ new numbers.
