The Oakland Raiders are down to their not-so final 53-man roster along with the rest of the NFL. I say not-so final because you know there are some players out there that the Raiders can possibly look at to add to their roster. What the Raiders need is obvious but how they get it isn’t because no big-time, in-their-prime players were waived.

But there are a few players out there that I believe can help the Raiders in some way, shape or form. To all the the players that were cut by the Raiders today: Arizona isn’t far away and the Cardinals are waiting for you over there. Sorry, let’s get back to the players that were cut the could help the Raiders because I am interested in some of them.

I’m not saying I want them just yet but it’s worth kicking tires on them.
