The Las Vegas Raiders are still in the hunt for talented free agents and here are some players from the NFC West to target.

The Las Vegas Raiders have been very active in free agency, rebuilding both their offensive and defensive lines after several key players were either traded, released, or simply had their contracts run out. The Raiders still have some big needs on both sides of the ball and there are several players from the NFC West who could fill those needs.

The needs are primarily on defense where the Raiders need a veteran cornerback to shore up the group and a free safety that can step right in as a starter. They have a young group at defensive back with the most senior players being Jeff Heath and Nevin Lawson, neither of which are starter caliber anymore.

There is also a need at right tackle but the focus of this piece will be primarily at defensive back since that is what the NFC West has to offer from their current free agents. Let’s dive right in with a veteran defensive back from the Arizona Cardinals.
