Oakland Raiders pending free agents to bring back in 2019
The Oakland Raiders have 33 players that will enter free agency this offseason, and here are five guys they should bring back for 2019.
The 2018 Oakland Raiders struggled to only four wins this season, as Jon Gruden’s return to the sidelines brought more downs than ups. Gruden had good gameplans early on against teams, but the Raiders could just not put four quarters together, and ended up as one of the worst teams in the NFL.
2019 brings new hope for the franchise, who brought in a new general manager in Mike Mayock last week. Oakland holds six of the first 100 picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, and have over $70 million in cap space available to round out the roster.
Year one under Jon Gruden for the Oakland Raiders is now in the books as we turn the page to year two. Gruden gets his second shot at rebuilding the team as he enters his second offseason. The draft is still in the distance while free agency is a stone’s throw away. Before Gruden and his staff can get started with those two offseason events, they must figure out which of their pending free agents should they retain.
Here are five pending free agents the Raiders should bring back in 2019.
