ESPN’s Mike Greenberg knows that his beloved Jets have no shot of winning the Super Bowl this year, but there’s another team out west that Greeny sees as surprise contenders in 2022.
Speaking on Wednesday morning’s “Get Up,” Greenberg told castmates Ryan Clark, Jeremy Fowler and Mike Tannenbaum that he has a hunch about the new-look Raiders.
I’m a Josh McDaniels believer. I’m a Derek Carr believer. Davante Adams is the most significant addition any team has made in the NFL this offseason. I think the Raiders are a sneaky, interesting, legit Super Bowl contender in the AFC.
Unfortunately for Greenberg, Ryan Clark wasn’t entirely on board.
But he did say that he expects the team to be improved. It’s just a matter of what Las Vegas’ defense looks like, specifically the secondary, in that loaded AFC West division.
Offensively, they’re going to be absolutely phenomenal. In the backfield, you have a running back who’s trying to prove that he’s a guy that’s worth a second contract. You have Hunter Renfrow in the slot. Monster. Darren Waller at tight end. Monster. Davante Adams best wide receiver in football… So offensively I think this team will be really good. Can you stop the Los Angeles Chargers? Can you stop the Broncos? Can you stop the Kansas City Chiefs?
