Daniel Carlson has looked great since putting on a Raiders uniform, becoming nearly automatic whether or not it is a field goal, or an extra point. In 2019, he will have a new punter holding the ball for him, as undrafted rookie free agent A.J. Cole beat out second-year Johnny Townsend early in camp.

In a surprising move as well, Trent Sieg beat out Andrew DePaola for the long snapper job, just one year after the Raiders made DePaola the highest-paid snapper in the league. This is a very young trio that will be expected to improve not only the field position battle in 2019, but also continue to be one of the more consistent kicking groups in the AFC.
