A complete list of Las Vegas Raiders hitting free agency
By Brad Weiss
There are plenty of Las Vegas Raiders hitting free agency in 2020, and here is the complete list as we inch closer to the new league year.
The Las Vegas Raiders have a lot of work to do in terms of their roster as they enter the new league year, as they have 28 players within the organization who will enter free agency. Whether they are unrestricted, meaning they can sign wherever they want, or restricted, meaning the Raiders can match any offer they receive before they are free to sign elsewhere.
In 2019, the Raiders made a three-win improvement from the year before, and there are plenty of guys on the free agent list who helped them accomplish that. On the defensive side of the ball, players like Benson Mayowa, Daryl Worley, Josh Mauro, and Karl Joseph all played big roles this past season, and all are likely to be given a long look in terms of bringing them back in 2020.
Richie Incognito and Jalen Richard have already been signed to extensions, but that is just the tip of the iceberg, as there are key players on this list. Dion Jordan was a nice surprise last season, as was Trent Sieg, and kicker Daniel Carlson is someone who they certainly should bring back this upcoming season.
Overall, general manager Mike Mayock did a fantastic job in his first season at the helm in 2019, and he has multiple draft picks inside the top 100 this April, and a bunch of cap space to work with in free agency. The Raiders are a team on the rise, and it all starts with free agency and the draft.

It is certain to be a wild ride for this organization as they enter their first season in Sin City, as they have the talent to be in win-now mode, especially with so many assets heading into the new league year. Sure, there are a ton of question marks, and you never really know what is going on inside Jon Gruden’s head, but Mayock is an outstanding general manager, and this roster is being built the right way.
