(2 YEARS LATER) The Raiders Sign Edge Kwitty Paye Terms: ) 3 Years / $48 Million Grade: ) D + I knew I was going to be down on Paye's signing no matter what ...... and that was before I found out that it was going to be at $16 Million per-year. Paye ranked last in pass rush win rate among all qualifiers at the Edge position, at just 4.5%. That's a brutal number, especially when combined with a 12th percentile pressure rate. And he performed poorly in both numbers in 2024, too. Now, in the wake of the Maxx Crosby trade, the Raiders absolutely need pass rush. Paye will join Malcolm Koonce and Tyree Wilson in trying to get after opposing quarterbacks. And I endorse the Raiders going after an edge rusher, by all means! But there were better options. Paying a few million more per year to sign Boye Mafe would have been several multiples better. Going after K'Lavon Chaisson ...... maybe on a cheaper contract ...... would have been better. I'm guessing Paye's status as a 2021 first-round pick probably contributed to the contract, even if it shouldn't have. Las Vegas handed out a lot of money Monday, and this was one spot where it could have put it to better use. ) (Seth Walder) https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...-draft-outlook o
