Oakland Raiders 75-man Roster Breakdown: Safe/On The Bubble

The Oakland Raiders have trimmed their roster down to 75 players. After playing in their final preseason game on September 1st, the team will have until September 3rd at 4:00pm EST to get the roster down to 53 players.

There has already been one surprise release in Leon Orr (at least at the 75-man cut deadline), and with plenty of talented players still on the roster, there is definitely a chance for more surprises.

Taking a look at the 75-man roster, let’s separate the players into tiers to try and determine who is safe and who isn’t.

The players will be separated into five categories:

• Locks: players that are 100% safe — no chance they are released
• Comfortable: players that are mostly safe — would be a big surprise if let go
• Middle Ground: player right in the middle — would be a mild surprise if released
• On The Bubble: players on the fringe — would not be a surprise if cut
• Gone: players with no chance of making the 53-man roster

Within the tiers, players will be listed alphabetically by last name.
