Oakland Raiders Unrestricted Free Agents: Stay or Go

Mychal Rivera
Stay.
Veteran tight end Mychal Rivera stepped up in 2016, considering reduced playing time. Although production wise, Rivera regressed, with 18 receptions for 192 yards and 1 touchdown.
But Rivera presents depth in a talented Oakland tight end core at a reasonable price. With the return of Lee Smith from injury, Rivera probably won’t start, but his ability and size make him a valuable asset.
