Report: Raiders willing to spend big, could try to pair Bell with Brown

It appears the Oakland Raiders are interested in adding more star power to their roster.

The Raiders could be interested in Le'Veon Bell and are willing to spend big in free agency even after acquiring Antonio Brown, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Bell is expected to have a number of suitors on the open market, and Rapoport calls Oakland a "sleeper team" to obtain the versatile rusher's services.

The offseason is off to a flying start for Oakland head coach Jon Gruden and new general manager Mike Mayock. The Raiders traded for Brown on Saturday after the star receiver requested to be dealt from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bell and Brown have been teammates since 2013, forming one of the NFL's top offensive duos in Pittsburgh. The running back sat out the 2018 season after being slapped with the franchise tag for the second straight year.
