Oakland Raiders: 2018 Raiders free agency tracker
By Brad Weiss
The Oakland Raiders have a lot of work to do this offseason as they prepare for 2018, and all of their free agent moves can be found right here.
The Oakland Raiders head into the offseason with a lot of question marks up and down their roster, as they look to rebound off a 6-10 season in 2017. New head coach Jon Gruden will have to team with general manager Reggie McKenzie to try and put together a team that can contend in the AFC West in 2018.
Oakland does not have a lot of money to spend, and has already cut the likes of Marshall Newhouse and Sean Smith. The team also has 11 draft picks in April’s 2018 NFL Draft, so they have to keep the money to sign those picks as well.
