Isaiah Bond Signs With the Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders addressed multiple needs during the 2025 NFL Draft, but one they haven’t fully addressed yet is the wide receiver spot. They went on to draft Jack Bech which was a good start, but they need more of a downfield threat to truly open up the offense. Having that separator is what the Raiders offense missed last season after trading away Davante Adams as it left the Raiders solely relying on Brock Bowers from a receiving standpoint as Tre Tucker and Jakobi Meyers couldn’t get it done.
By adding Bond,
they get a true top wide receiver option to open things up fully, which would greatly help with Geno Smith under center as well this season by having more go-to options to rely on instead of just Bowers. With Las Vegas, they’d be getting a receiver in Bond who accumulated 1,431 yards and 10 touchdowns across three seasons. Just last year after transferring to Texas, Bond quickly adapted by putting up 540 yards and five touchdowns over 34 receptions, averaging 15.9 yards per reception over the season.
For the legal side of things, if there is any coach that can help and ensure that Bond can correct things off the field, it would be a tenured coach like Pete Carroll. With the right culture being set in Las Vegas, Isaiah Bond can thrive and become the solidified top receiver for the Raiders going forward.
