Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor has retired from the NFL after a decade-long career and will transition to broadcasting. Agholor is set to join "NFL Game Preview" as a football analyst for the 2026 season, working alongside former USC quarterback Cody Kessler.
Agholor played one season with the Raiders in 2020, signing a one-year contract worth $1 million. That season was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Raiders' relocation to Las Vegas. He appeared in all games for the Raiders that year, finishing as the team's second-leading receiver with 48 receptions for 896 yards and eight touchdowns. He trailed only tight end Darren Waller, who led the team in catches, yards, and touchdowns.
During his tenure with the Raiders, Agholor was considered a veteran presence in the receiver room. Rookie Hunter Renfrow was in his second season, and Henry Ruggs III was a first-year player.
Agholor's NFL career included a significant high point in 2018 when he played a key role in the Philadelphia Eagles' first Super Bowl victory. However, his career was also marked by inconsistency, particularly with dropped passes. Despite early career challenges, he played four additional seasons in the league with the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens.
Agholor was originally selected as a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
