There are high expectations for the Las Vegas Raiders heading into the 2020 campaign, and these five guys are entering make-or-break years.

The Las Vegas Raiders roster has improved a lot over the last two years, and as the team gets better, some less impressive players will have to go. Through the draft and free agency, the overall quality and depth of this roster has continued to move in the right direction, and a lot of the thanks has to go to their general manager.

Since Mike Mayock has been the general for the team, he has utilized some excellent draft capital to bring in the cornerstone players of this franchise moving forward. Having five first round picks in two years is a great way to start your career as a GM in the NFL, and he has certainly taken advantage of it.

With all the new faces coming in, the Raiders are soon going to have to make some tough decisions in regards to the roster. The NFL is a business, and for these five guys, the 2020 season is going to go a long way in deciding whether or not they will be a part of the long-term solution in Las Vegas.

Let’s take a look at some of the players who are entering make or break years in 2020, and really need to prove themselves to remain on the team.
