Raiders Sign CB Stokes, Trade for Johnson

About this episode

The Las Vegas Raiders made a significant move in the NFL free agency legal-tampering period by signing cornerback Eric Stokes to a three-year contract worth thirty million dollars, with twenty million dollars guaranteed. Stokes, who was a first-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2021, thrived in Las Vegas as their top cornerback, starting all sixteen games he played and earning this bigger payday. The Raiders also acquired nickel cornerback Taron Johnson from the Buffalo Bills in a trade, and hold the number fourteen overall draft pick from the Maxx Crosby trade with Baltimore, potentially adding more cornerbacks to deepen the group.
