The Oakland Raiders have plenty of needs heading into the 2019 free agency season, and here are some players who can help fill them.

The Oakland Raiders head into the 2019 offseason with a lot of work to do, as 33 players on their current roster are slated to hit free agency. Oakland is coming off a 4-12 season, so a lot of those guys could be gone, as Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock look to rebuild this roster.

With five first round picks over the next two NFL Drafts, the Raiders are in good shape there, and Gruden has said he wants to bring in players that make sense via free agency. He does not want guys at the tail end of their careers, but rather those rare players who are young, and can help this team moving forward.

As we inch closer to the new league year in March, let us take a look at the areas of need for the Raiders, and some of those pending free agents that can help this team in 2019, and beyond. Oakland may be back in the Bay Area for the next two seasons, and it would be nice for the organization to go out a winner.

Here are the areas of need the Raiders should look to fix in free agency, and some players who could help them do just that.
