Around this time two years ago, Christian Wilkins was the Las Vegas Raiders’ prized free agent signing, inking a four-year, $110 million contract.

The Las Vegas Raiders’ roster needed some talent at wide receiver heading into the offseason, leading the Raiders to sign Jalen Nailor from the Minnesota Vikings to a three-year, $35 million contract during free agency.

This was not unexpected. Bummer for you, Baltimore Ravens, but you’re on the poo-poo list of many Las Vegas Raiders’ fans. That’s what you get.
