Intriguing New Option for the Raiders To Bolster Their Offense

The Las Vegas Raiders have to bolster their offense. Which star could they add to help do that?

The Las Vegas Raiders' potential in 2026 is staggering. There's always one team that ends up going from worst to first place in their division after a successful offseason, and it isn't a stretch to say the Raiders have made the right moves in order for that to happen.

Hiring Klint Kubiak shows a lot of growth from their front office after they hired Pete Carroll, and his decisions after show he's prioritizing continuity over shaking things up entirely. That's a smart move on behalf of their new head coach, and should result in improvements on both sides of the ball. What else would be a smart move for Kubiak to look into?

The Miami Dolphins have officially released Tyreek Hill after it was speculated that he wouldn't be rejoining the team after his severe knee injury, which prematurely ended his 2025 season. Hill is a 31-year-old receiver who hasn't had a season over 1,000 yards in two years.

He's not exactly the type of star the Raiders are envisioning when bolstering their offense, but I believe they should throw their hat in the ring. For starters, their receiving room lacks starpower. Hill isn't the same player he was when he had consecutive 1,700-yard seasons, but he can still provide value in a locker room whose best wide receiver is Tre Tucker.

Just because they don't have a household name in the wide receiver room doesn't mean that Hill won't be accompanied by starpower. Brock Bowers will hopefully see his usage go up under Kubiak, which means that Hill will see more one-on-one matchups because Bowers will likely be the top target. This next point is both a plus and a minus, but the Raiders have a young receiving room as well.

Hill could serve as a mentor for some of their rookie receivers who didn't get much playing time, coming from someone who didn't blossom into a star in his sophomore season. However, one could argue that his signing would also take away from their development because they needed those targets much more than he does.

Ultimately, what this comes down to is whether Hill would even be interested in going to a team like the Raiders. Is the appeal of playing under Fernando Mendoza and Kubiak enough to circumvent the fact that this team is far from competing?

I don't think it'd be smart for them to overpay for Hill either, just to get him on the team. It's just something for Kubiak to think about, and a signing that would benefit the Raiders.
