The Las Vegas Raiders have locked in their top cornerback Eric Stokes with a new three-year contract averaging $10 million per season. He stood out as their biggest free agency priority after shining last year. Stokes tested the market briefly, but decided to stay put in Vegas. The team moved quick to keep their standout defender from walking away. Fans and analysts saw this coming since the end of last season. This arrived on a one-year deal as a former first-round pick, looking to rebound from injuries and a tough stretch. He stepped up right away as the Raiders number one corner and held that spot all year. That performance made resigning him a no-brainer. With the most salary cap room in the league, the Raiders can now hunt for outside help to build around him. This story is shared with support from our sponsor. Headphones in a pillow.
