Everyone finessed the Raiders.
AB used them to get to Patriots and Doss used them to get guarantees that no practice squad player would ever get.
The Raiders — after star Antonio Brown orchestrated his own release — suddenly need all the receiver depth they can get. They kept their eye on Doss after releasing him last Monday, and tried to lure him back on Saturday. He said no, opting to stay with the Jaguars.
But apparently Doss read the terrain right. The Raiders went back to the 23-year-old Alameda native with a vastly improved deal. He got a $300,000 signing bonus and fully guaranteed $495,000 base salary, according to NFL Network. Those are contract guarantees that practice squad players do not get.
Doss is a smart guy.
