Raiders
Raiders CB Casey Hayward said he is happy with his decision to sign with Las Vegas and reunite with DC Gus Bradley.
“When we found out the cap dropped, I knew this was going to be a weird situation, especially for a lot of the vets,” Hayward said, via Pro Football Talk. “Thereโs still a lot of vets thatโs still not signed, which is kind of crazy โ some guys that have played a lot of ball and have been successful. But I wasnโt worried, Iโve got good faith. My agent told me we couldโve been signed if that was the case, but we wanted to wait and figure it out and try to be in the best situation. I feel like the Raiders were the best situation for me.
“As a team, I feel like theyโre just missing a few pieces. They were really good on offense last year. They put up 30 points a game. Now itโs about the defense. If we can hold teams to 20 points, if weโre scoring 30, weโre going to win most of those games. so weโve got to do a good job on the defensive side.”
