‘Best DLine in the whole NFL’?: Fans react to Raiders’ moves
The Raiders had a busy day on Monday, the first day of the NFL’s legal tampering period.
The Raiders made numerous moves, including signing a veteran quarterback, losing a starting running back and bringing in a new defensive tackle.
Perhaps the biggest move of the day was signing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins to a four-year deal. The defensive tackle got many fans excited about the prospect of having a defensive line with Wilkins and Maxx Crosby.

Signing quarterback Gardner Minshew brought out both supporters and detractors.

One of the biggest moves of the day didn’t concern bringing in a new player, but rather who the Raiders lost. Running back Josh Jacobs will reportedly sign a contract with the Green Bay Packers, ending the starting running back’s tenure with Las Vegas.
Best of luck in Green Bay Josh Jacobs. Once a Raider, always a Raider. ☠️ 🏴☠️ #RaiderNation pic.twitter.com/cTJDAKf8vB

Low-key bummed about losing Josh Jacobs, everyone will look at it with their “football knowledge” and armchair GM opinions on why it was a good thing…. but I just loved watching dude run the ball in the Silver & Black.
Once a Raider 😞🏴☠️
