More offensive free agents

Doug Martin, Running Back

Doug Martin was brought in to be a complimentary player behind Marshawn Lynch, and has really not produced at all through the first six games of the season. With Lynch on the shelf, it will be Martin’s show after the bye week, so what he does there will go a long way in deciding whether or not to bring him back. For now, send him packing.

Opinion: Let him walk

Brandon LaFell, Wide Receiver

Brandon LaFell has yet to be active for a Raiders game this season, and based on where he is in terms of this roster, it makes no sense to bring him back next season. He has not only been inactive, but a healthy scratch in recent games, and at this point, is just holding a roster space.

Opinion: Let him walk

TJ Clemmings, Offensive Tackle

The Raiders claimed TJ Clemmings off waivers back in September, and I would not mind seeing the team bring him back if they can get him at the right price. He was once a full-time starter with the Minnesota Vikings, and Tom Cable should be able to squeeze some talent out of him. He has already appeared in three games this season.

Opinion: Bring him back
