The Las Vegas Raiders have a bunch of talent on both sides of the ball, but these three free agents could help them immediately.

The Las Vegas Raiders have done a great job of assessing the team’s needs on both sides of the ball over the past two offseasons, and look like a team ready to turn the corner. They have brought in some young playmakers who have stepped in on leadership roles defensively, utilizing the draft to their advantage.

As summer training camp draws near to the end, and the season looms in the distance, the well of free agent talent begins to dry up while teams scramble to make final roster decisions. Any successful team will tell you that the key to success is to have a “next man up” mentality, as teams must be ready for whatever the season throws at them, especially now in as the country battles a worldwide pandemic all while trying to juggle maintaining professional sports seasons.

While the Raiders roster is stronger, and deeper than it has been in years past, there are still some free agents out there who could help them this season. Whether it is a guy who can come in and push a younger player at their position, or someone who could come in and be a star, those types of players are still available entering the middle of August.

Here are three current free agents that could help the Raiders in 2020.
