Las Vegas Raiders add veteran WR Albert Wilson
The Raiders have gotten some really good play from their wide receivers this season as Davante Adams has been excellent. They have even gotten great play from Mack Hollins, who has emerged as the other starting outside receiver.
But the Raiders still lack speed in their wide receiver corps. That is why they made the move to sign veteran receiver Albert Wilson on Friday.
Wilson appeared in 14 games (five starts) with the Miami Dolphins last year. He recorded 25 catches for 213 yards. ESPN insider Adam Schefter first reported the signing.

Early in his career, Wilson spent with four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. He headed to Miami after signing a big contract with the Dolphins. This offseason, Wilson signed with the Vikings but did not make their 53-man roster.
Wilson is a speed receiver who is dynamic after the catch and has a ton of NFL experience. He also adds some kick return ability as well.
Look for him to compete for snaps behind Adams, Hollins and Hunter Renfrow. He turned 30 in July and has totaled 2,499 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in his NFL career.
