The Las Vegas Raiders found their replacement for one of their superstars. 

Per Jordan Schultz, the Las Vegas Raiders are signing two-time Pro Bowl tight end Austin Hooper. The Raiders got their starting tight end now.

The Raiders just traded away Darren Waller, their star tight end, to the New York Giants in exchange for a third round pick. Waller was dealing with injuries all of last season and was disgruntled with McDaniels, per several reports.

Now the Raiders have a guy that they feel comfortable in starting alongside their other receivers after losing Waller and Foster Moreau.

This is by far the biggest move they have made in hindsight, knowing they didn't have a reliable tight end whatsoever.
