Las Vegas Raiders have given the offense under the command of signal caller Kirk Cousins over Fernando Mendoza. Now head coach Klint Kubiak and Co. Have plugged a former San Francisco 49ers WR in front of him before Week 1. That is to be said as Ronnie Bell, also of the New Orleans Saints, has joined the squad ahead of the meeting with the Miami Dolphins.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter first reported of the signing on Thursday, along with two additional Raiders transactions.
Bell will bring Cousins experience in the perimeter room he joins. He just produced on seven catches, for 72 yards with the Saints. Prior he spent two years in San Francisco where he spent time lining up under head coach Kyle Shanahan.
His cumulative two receiving years with the Niners brought him four passes for 47 yards with three scores
Bell had four grabs for 25 yards through the 2023-24 seasons. So the former Saint now brings to Las Vegas, who are clearly searching for answers in their WR corps. The Raiders did not have splashier Free Agency signings or Draft picks in the receiving game as they went after the four time Pro Bowl signal caller in Cousin while getting out of their system when drafting Mendoza No. 1 overall this past April. Furthermore, Las Vegas failed to sign notable Free Agents such as Stephon Diggs or Deebo Samuel in this market.
The franchise now will stick with a previous three score producing WR from Shanahan's offense while playing under the now Saints WR Coach of New Orleans in Kellen Moore's offense for a short time before joining a Las Vegas bunch seeking an added weapon against Jeff Hafley led Miami.
