Laveon Bell to the Raiders
Bleacher report is claiming that the Raiders have interest in La’Veon Bell as a back up running back and are content to let Devontae Parker test free agency during the offseason. While Bell only scored two touchdowns last season, he was a pretty decent running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the late 2010’s. Bell even managed to rush for over 1000 yards in three different seasons. He even had an average gain of 4.9 yards per play at 1 point.
The addition of La’Veon Bell to the Raiders could be great news for their running game. It might even relieve some of the load from Joshua Jacobs’s shoulders and give coach Gruden more to work with on offense.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway proposes limited fan attendance at Las Vega
NASCAR is set to return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway from March 5th to the 7th and while safety is a concern in this new era, the facility has applied for a limited capacity permit. This news comes only days after Governor, Mike Sisolack pushed to ease restrictions in the state. Track president Chris Powell’s proposed plan would see the track at 20% capacity, which would amount to around 20,000 fans.
“We ll go by all of the safety protocols that are called for by our state and local health officials including, but certainly not limited to, but including that everyone will be required to wear a face covering, we will socially distance every group outside of four people from one family will be distanced from a seating standpoint from another group and we ll also be doing a lot of cleaning throughout the course of the weekend, hand sanitizer and all of those kinds of things,” Powell said.
Las Vegas Aces sign Riquna Williams
The Las Vegas Aces have signed Riquna Williams to an unrestricted free agent contract, throwing her in with Liz Cambage, Chelsea Grey, Dearica Hamby and A’ja Wilson, already a pretty lethal combination. Williams should lead the team right to the playoffs if they can achieve the right chemistry.
“Riqunais a proven scorer in this league, and adds a great deal of depth to a roster that already had WNBA championship aspirations,” Aces coach and president of basketball operations Bill Laimbeer said. “She brings an energy to the court whenever she enters a game, and has become a consistent threat from3-point range over the course of her career.”
Ju Ju Smith Schuster to the Raiders?
According to NBC Sports analyst John Clayton, Ju Ju Smith Schuster will be on the free-agent market this offseason, and there is supposedly interest within the Raiders organization for the Superstar wide receiver. Of course, this could be a huge hit in cap space, which will force the team to part ways with several players, but it could end up being good. In fact, Schuster is a pretty reliable player in must-win situations, making him a very good weapon during close games.
