Well this is quite a story about Nelson Agoholor, set to be a free agent this offseason after a surprisingly good season in 2020, and maybe after you hear this one, he might not be staying in Las Vegas.
Per The Athletic, the receiver came into the Raiders’ locker room after a huge game — 155 yards and a score — but after the Dolphins won a 26-25 game in the last second. Before head coach Jon Gruden addressed the players, Agholor went off.
“Agholor, according to those in the room, said his teammates were selfish and didn’t work hard enough, and that they had quit against the Dolphins as well as in the previous two losses,” The Athletic’s Vic Tafur reports. Here’s what happened next:
He said there was no accountability in the locker room, and on winning teams players play for one another and the coaches. The Raiders’ performance over the previous six games was unacceptable, and too many people within the team were just flat-out accepting it.
Agholor told his teammates that they sucked.
Apparently, Gruden nor anyone else responded. But I can’t imagine that the locker room would take that well.
