Luckily, the team was able to get this year's premier quarterback prospect in Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza LOOKS like a franchise quarterback, but it's hard to reach your full potential with a lackluster supporting cast. The Raiders did make some notable additions in free agency this offseason, but the pass-catcher group still isn't anything to write home about.
If the season started tomorrow, the team's starting wide receivers would be Jack Bech, Tre Tucker, and newcomer Jalen Nailor. That trio won't exactly strike fear in the heart of defenses, but luckily, there's a big move the Raiders could make to transform the room overnight. Raiders urged to sign Stefon Diggs ahead of 2026 Sports Illustrated's Mike Kadlick recently identified the Raiders as one of the best landing spots for Stefon Diggs.
Diggs was released by the New England Patriots this offseason despite signing a three-year deal last offseason and helping the team reach the Super Bowl. Diggs had some legal issues this offseason that have seemingly been resolved, which means teams will likely start calling soon. The Raiders make a ton of sense due to the aforementioned weak receiver room and they need to get as much help for their young passer as possible.
