3 free agents the Raiders should be targeting in 2021 offseason

2. AJ Green, WR, Bengals

After missing a bunch of time due to injury in 2018 and 2019, AJ Green returned to the field in 2020 to play all 16 games for the Cincinnati Bengals.

As he heads to free agency, it’s almost hard to remember just how great AJ Green was from 2011-18 as a seven-time Pro Bowler.

One potentially key player the Raiders could have to replace in the coming weeks is former Philadelphia Eagles first-round pick Nelson Agholor, a player who had seemingly busted out of Philadelphia.

On a one-year “prove it” deal, Agholor ended up racking up over 800 yards and eight touchdowns for the Raiders this past season.

With Tyrell Williams cut and Henry Ruggs III struggling to establish himself early on, will the Raiders be comfortable letting Agholor walk in free agency and not adding any veteran presence at the outside receiver position?

I think a player like AJ Green would be an ideal guy to rotate in with Henry Ruggs and Bryan Edwards with Hunter Renfrow manning the slot. The Raiders would obviously be taking a risk on Green actually being healthy and good to go, but on a one-year deal, he might prove to be a great value.
