Chandler Jones is now a Raider. _RyanFowler_ on how he fits into Las Vegas' defense & how happy now-teammate Maxx Crosby is to have him. FrontOffice33 | RaiderNation
A slow start to what evolves into much more of a marathon rather than a sprint, the newly minted front-office tandem of GM Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels wasted no time in getting their feet wet in a deep pool of talent. Their signing of premier sack artist Chandler Jones saw the two take a full-blown plunge into the free-agent market, creating one of the biggest splashes of the early tampering window.
A three-year, $51M deal that will add another headlining name within the star-studded AFC West. An arms race within the division has begun and the Raiders are the newest organization to add a piece to their loaded roster. Jones is a two-time All-Pro coming off a 10.5 sack season and with Yannick Ngakoue now an Indianapolis Colt, it’s free rein with Jones and Crosby at the 5-tech.
With seven sacks in each of his first three seasons, the presence of Jones will present a scenario of “pick your poison” for opposing offenses, in turn, giving Crosby increased 1-on–1 looks from the outside. Though retaining Ngakoue would have surely helped the front four, the plug and play addition of Jones opposite Crosby instantly makes for one of, if not the top, pass-rushing duo in the division. Yes, even with outside linebackers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack now in Los Angeles.
From the outside, it had looked like Vegas was the tortoise in the race West so far. But if you expected the Raiders to go down quietly, then you don’t know how McDaniels does business. While rumors have swirled on the offensive side of the ball surrounding quarterback Derek Carr and his potential departure from Las Vegas, he looks to be back this fall and with that, a foundational leader to potentially captain a storybook run with doubters and skeptics aplenty.
