Keeping up the pace in the AFC West is turning into a whole arms race, and now it’s the turn of the Las Vegas Raiders to try to build up the rest of the division.

NFL Network reported that Adams has signed a new five-year deal with the Raiders, which paid him $ 141.25 million in the richest deal for a wide receiver.
That slight excess other moves Thursday with receivers with Cole Beasley and Julio Jones looking for new teams, Allen Robinson and DJ Chark switching teams or even quarterback Baker Mayfield demanding to be traded, not happy that the Brows are trying to get him through Deshaun Watson replace.
And oh yes, everyone was waiting to see what happens next with Watson despite his off-field legal issues in the 2021 season.
The Raiders, under new management, have tried to match Denver trade for quarterback Russell Wilson and the Chargers acquisition of Rand Rusher Khalil Mack. Carr now has another offensive weapon and a lot of history with Adams after playing two seasons together at Fresno State.
Robinson is a big winner, going from Chicago to the Rams and becoming teammates with Cooper Cup and quarterback Matthew Stafford. He agreed Thursday to a three-year contract to terms as the last big-name receiver to join the Rams and Los Angeles first outside free agent signed this month.

The Buffalo Bills released Beasley, while the Tennessee Titans officially released a seven-time Pro Bowl receiver to Jones on Thursday.

Chark said other teams wanted to give a long-term deal to the former Pro Bowl receiver, who was limited to four games last season in Jacksonville due to a broken ankle. He has signed a $ 10 million deal for this season, saying he sees a good fit with the Lions desperately in need of a deep threat.
A person familiar with the discussions says Mayfield asked the Browns to trade him through his agent shortly after Watson’s team was told he would not be coming to Cleveland. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation.
The Browns told Mayfield they did not trade him.
Dallas has released the right tackle La’el Collins in another cost-cutting move with a starter on offense. Collins will be released as a post-June 1.
