Gerald McCoy had an encounter with the Raiders on Wednesday and he’s not leaving Las Vegas.
McCoy, a six-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman, has endorsed with the Raiders, the team declared.
A long-term staple in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beginning lineup, McCoy is presently headed for his fourth team in four years. McCoy played his last season with the Bucs in 2018, played a year for the Panthers in 2019 and afterward signed with the Cowboys in front of the 2020 campaign. Nonetheless, McCoy never played a down for Dallas as he was delivered in the wake of supporting a torn quadriceps tendon.
The third-generally speaking pick of the 2010 NFL Draft is 33-years of age now and is plainly not one of the premier defensive tackles in the game as he used to be. Yet, how and on the off chance that he can return at an undeniable level for the Raiders will be the common inquiry.
McCoy will vie for a task at protective tackle – where Johnathan Hankins and Quinton Jefferson are the current beginning top choices – in the wake of answering to his visit in Vegas “in good shape,” as per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
McCoy joins a high-profile guarded line unforeseen in the desert that features Yannick Ngakoue, Maxx Crosby, Clelin Ferrell and Carl Nassib, among others. Yet, regardless of the huge names, the pass surge has since a long time ago grieved the Raiders. Maybe the comeback story of McCoy could be the appropriate response.
