When I watched the Raiders scrape together a few wins late last season, I was constantly reminded of how physically small their receiving corps was, with Tre Tucker and DJ Turner, both 5-foot-9, contributing a fair amount. Yes, they do have 2024 receiving leader Jakobi Meyers, who is 6-2, in the fold already, but with Turner hitting the market, why not bring another taller target in to help Geno Smith? The 6-2 Allen knows the AFC West quite well, thanks to the many years spent with the Chargers. By the end of last season, Las Vegas felt like an afterthought, but by hiring Pete Carroll and acquiring Smith, the Raiders quickly shifted their identity and now appear focused on climbing up the NFL ladder, with a group of veterans leading the way. Adding Allen to the mix will be fun, I promise.
