The Oakland Raiders have a bakers dozen of unrestricted free agents. Who should stay, and who should go?

With an unceremonious ending to a season that started so beautifully, it’s back to the drawing board for the Oakland Raiders.

Injuries to stars like quarterback Derek Carr and left tackle Donald Penn were metaphors to a season gone sour. But the show must go on, and Oakland must look to capitalize on the offseason to get better.

General Manager Reggie McKenzie’s top priority will be to re-sign franchise quarterback Derek Carr, and possibly pass rusher Khalil Mack — although there is a fifth-year option for Mack. But outside of the two star players, McKenzie has 13 unrestricted free agents that he can negotiate with or let go.

Here is a look at the guys set to be free this offseason, and an assessment of who should stay or go.
