With the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs and free agency upcoming, plenty of potential future Las Vegas Raiders will be on display.

Unfortunately, the 2019 Oakland Raiders weren’t able to get the job done and Raider Nation will have to watch the playoffs without a dog in the fight. However, there is plenty of room for optimism as the team transitions to the Las Vegas Raiders.

A young core kept the team in the postseason discussion all year and adding a few key pieces in the offseason could be enough to get them over the hump. The 2019 draft class showed out on both sides of the ball, and even the rookie brought in as undrafted free agents made their mark in year No. 1 at the NFL level.

There are a handful of upcoming free agents that have already been linked to Las Vegas and some of them will be on display during the Divisional Round. This gives the organization’s decision-makers and fans an opportunity to get a head start on the evaluation process.

But the question remains, which specific players should everyone keep an eye on this weekend?
