Re-sign: Jalen Richard

The Raiders running back situation is going to be interesting this offseason, as there are a number of different ways they could go. There is still no word as to whether Marshawn Lynch would like to come back for another season, and Gruden has said that he would welcome him back if he decided to do so.

In addition, Doug Martin is also without a contract as we head into the offseason, and played really well for the Raiders down the stretch when Lynch went on IR. During the preseason, Chris Warren led the NFL in rushing, looking like the kind of back you could use in a featured role at the NFL level.

One name that is also a free agent this offseason is Jalen Richard, who has been a guy that has brought so much to this offense in recent years. While he has struggled with the fumbles, he is a player that can make an impact in the run game, as well as out of the backfield, and should be back in the fold in 2019.
