BREAKING: Raiders Sign WR Jalen Nailor to $35M Deal

The Las Vegas Raiders have continued their massive free agency overhaul, agreeing to terms with wide receiver Jalen Nailor on a three-year contract, according to @RapSheet.

The deal for the 26-year-old receiver is reportedly worth $35 million and includes $23 million in guaranteed money. Nailor, a Las Vegas native who starred at Bishop Gorman High School, returns to his hometown after a productive stint with the Minnesota Vikings.

The signing of Nailor is the latest move in an unprecedented spending spree for the Raiders. Earlier on Monday, general manager John Spytek and head coach Klint Kubiak secured Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum with a record-breaking three-year, $81 million contract. The team also bolstered its defense by reaching an agreement with edge rusher Kwity Paye on a three-year, $48 million deal and retaining cornerback Eric Stokes.

Las Vegas entered the 2026 legal tampering period with a league-high $120 million in salary cap space. This aggressive approach follows a disappointing 3-14 season and the high-profile trade of star edge rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens. By adding Nailor, the Raiders provide a significant vertical threat for their offense as they prepare to select a new franchise quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
