Nelson Agholor, Raiders

Washington Football Team fans should be familiar with Agholor as he started his career with the Eagles in 2015. His best two years with the Eagles were 2017, when he had 62 receptions for 768 yards and eight touchdowns, and 2018, when he had 64 receptions for 746 yards and four touchdowns.

Agholor has his faults, as he has been inconsistent throughout his career and has been plagued by drops, but he offers big-play ability that Washington could desperately need.

In his first year with Las Vegas, Agholor had a career year, finishing with 48 receptions, a career-high 896 yards, and eight touchdowns.

His 18.7 yards per reception was second-best in the NFL behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He also had a better passer rating when targeted than other free agent WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster, Curtis Samuel, Marvin Jones, and Sammy Watkins.

If the Washington Football Team happens to trade for Derek Carr or Marcus Mariota, they would have an instant connection with Agholor, increasing the chances of a signing with Washington.
