Las Vegas Raiders could look a whole lot different in 2021

Key defensive players on the way out?

Looking at the list of players, a few names jump out right away, including guys like Hankins, and safety Erik Harris. Since coming over to the Raiders, Hankins has been a constant player in the middle of the Raiders defensive line, and has done a nice job helping younger guys like P.J. Hall and Maurice Hurst.

In the secondary, Harris is entering the final year of his deal, and he has rounded into one of the leaders on this Raiders defense. He plays the game the right way, is a playmaker, and seeing the way he has earned his spot on the roster, you have to believe the franchise is going to want to bring him back.

Outside of Hankins and Harris, Nicholas Morrow is also entering the final year of his contract, and will need a big 2020 season to continue to be in the team’s long-term plans. Marquel Lee is another linebacker who falls into this category, and will be expected to stay healthy so the Raiders can get full tape on him.
