52. Matt McCants

A veteran offensive lineman, Matt McCants has stuck around with the Oakland Raiders as a backup since signing with the team in 2013 as the former sixth-round pick of the New York Giants has carved out a role with the Silver and Black. McCants developing a reputation as a dependable emergency option during his three seasons with the team.

However, McCants played in just two games last season after playing double digits during his first two seasons back when Dennis Allen was the head coach. Signalling that the new coaching staff may not have the same respect for McCants as the previous staff.

With the aforementioned UDFA lineman coming into the picture, McCants will be in a tough position battle to keep his spot on the roster this summer. McCants does have experience on his side, but he will have to earn his keep as there will be fierce competition for his job at training camp.
