Kubiak's WR additions and scheme fit concerns threaten Thornton's Raiders tenure

Thornton is a questionable fit in Klint Kubiak's offense despite being a fourth-round pick who was generating plenty of buzz last year and viewed as a high-ceiling prospect with his unique combination of size and speed. Kubiak brought in three wideouts this offseason (Jalen Nailor, Dareke Young, Malik Benson) who fit his profile, and if Jack Bech outplays him, the Tennessee product could have a short tenure in Las Vegas. Moving on from Thornton would only cost about $260k in dead cap hit in each of the next three seasons, while savings escalate from a little more than $1 million to just under $1.25 million, per OTC.
