The Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to terms with former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor on a three-year, $35 million contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal reportedly includes $23 million in total guarantees, securing the playmaker through the 2028 season.
A native of Las Vegas, Nailor returns home after playing his high school football at local powerhouse Bishop Gorman. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the Minnesota Vikings, where he served as a depth option behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Despite limited targets, Nailor compiled 69 receptions for 1,066 yards and 11 touchdowns during his tenure in Minnesota. In 2025, he recorded career highs with 29 catches for 444 yards and four touchdowns.
The addition of Nailor is part of a significant roster overhaul for the Raiders, who entered the offseason with the most salary cap space in the NFL. Earlier today, the team also reportedly reached a record-setting agreement with Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum on an $81 million contract and re-signed cornerback Eric Stokes to a three-year deal. These moves follow the recent release of veteran quarterback Geno Smith as the franchise prepares for the 2026 NFL Draft, where they currently hold the No. 1 overall selection.
With Nailor officially joining the Silver and Black, the Raiders continue to prioritize adding speed and local ties to their revitalized offensive unit under new head coach Klint Kubiak.
