Even after having a fantastic season on defense last year, the Las Vegas Raiders were still viewed as a team that needed to address that side of the ball in either free agency or the NFL draft. Now, they have done just that.

The legal tampering period opened on Monday, which means teams can talk to agents and agree on deals, but it can't be official until Wednesday.

A few hours into free agency, the Raiders shocked everyone. They have the best defensive player available in free agency, Christian Wilkins.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Raiders will agree to terms on a four-year deal with Wilkins, and it's supposed to be worth $110 million with $84 million guaranteed. The Raiders will have two of the best defensive lineman in the league on the same team.

Wilkins is another guy, much like Crosby, who actually plays the run and the pass game. With the two lining up, things could get scary.
