The loss of tight end Zach Miller to the Seahawks undoubtedly stung the Raiders.
To quickly make themselves feel better, they may try to sign the next best tight end on the market. The Raiders worked out Kevin Boss on Wednesday according to Paul Gutierrez of CSNCalifornia.com, with coach Hue Jackson and quarterback Jason Campbell moving on.
Boss isn’t as big a receiving weapon as Miller, but he’s a superior blocker. The Giants want to keep him, but they are relatively tight to the salary cap like the Raiders. (Last we checked, the Raiders were way over.)
Boss would probably have been signed already in free agency, but he had surgery on his hip in January. It appears he’s recovered from that procedure.
