Although the Las Vegas Raiders have Malcolm Koonce and Maxx Crosby to pressure opposing quarterbacks from the edge, one might argue that a team can never have too many pass-rushers in a league that loves to throw the ball.
Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report recently made a list of several deals the Raiders ought to consider, including acquiring Matthew Judon, a pass-rusher for the New England Patriots.
Ballentine stated, “The Raiders’ ability to put pressure on quarterbacks will be a major factor if they are to reach their ceiling in 2024.” “There are several components in place to enable them to do it. One of the most effective pass rushers in the league the previous season was Maxx Crosby.
Malcolm Koonce went on a tear at the conclusion of the season, and Christian Wilkins provides them a presence on the inside that they simply haven’t had.
“…Nevertheless, they would have one of the strongest pass rushes in the league if they took a one-year chance on Matt Judon.
There’s a chance. After appearing in just four games in 2023 due to a bicep tear, he is entering his age-32 season. However, he has been extremely effective when playing. Together, he recorded 28 sacks in 2021 and 2022.
