Offense

Jared Cook, Tight End

The Raiders big tight end has been having a great season for the team, showing the kind of pass-catching ability that the team was hoping he would show when the picked him up prior to the 2017 NFL season. Last season, he led the team in receiving yards, and in 2018, he already has two games where he has gone over the 100-yard mark, and leads the team in yards once again

Opinion: Re-sign

Marshawn Lynch, Running Back

Beast Mode was in the middle of a fantastic season before a groin injury put him on the shelf for at least a month. Before then, he was one of the rare bright spots on this Raiders offense, showing real speed and power in his age-32 season. If the Raiders can get him for a discounted price, it makes sense to kick the tires on him once again in 2019.

Opinion: Re-sign

Martavis Bryant, Wide Receiver

The White Tiger came to the Raiders for a third round pick during the 2018 NFL Draft, and he has not done much to speak of since. First, the team cut him prior to Week 1, only to bring him back once the season began. He was not worth the third round pick, and if he is requesting a big contract next season, the Raiders are better off without him.

Opinion: Let him walk
