The Oakland Raiders will have 31 free agents after the 2018 NFL season, and here is what they should do with them next summer.

It has been a very disappointing season for the Oakland Raiders so far, as they have stumbled out of the  gate to a 1-5 record through their first six games. Currently on a bye week, the Raiders have a lot of questions to answer the rest of the way, and it will be interesting to see what players step up to try to get some wins for this team moving forward.

With ten games left, there is still room for guys to try and make their mark on this team, and move to stay with the organization in 2019. The Raiders have a ton of guys who will see their contract expire after the 2018 campaign, and some of them are big-name players on the roster.

Guys like Jared Cook, Marshawn Lynch, Rashaan Melvin, and Daryl Worley will all have to be re-signed by the team if they want to bring them back, but the team is going to have wholesale changes next summer. This Raiders team is going to look very different next season, and we dive into which free agents the team may bring back in 2019.

Here is what they should do with their 31 free agents after the 2018 NFL season.
