The Las Vegas Raiders seem to revamp their roster every offseason, and looking at some cut candidates, there could be some solid fits still out there in 2021.

ESPN recently released an article titled, NFL players on the roster bubble entering 2021 training camps, which got us thinking. There are still some available free agents the Las Vegas Raiders could target, but there are also some players currently on rosters that could become available during the cutdown period this summer.

Of those players, which ones from around the league could the Raiders look into?

In ESPN’s article, they named a player from each team, whether it be a veteran or former first-round pick, who is on the roster bubble and has a good chance to miss out on making the team’s roster. For example, the Raiders cut candidate is Brandon Parker, a former third-round pick who is in a battle to make the roster.

The Raiders roster is still a work in progress, and there are still plenty of holes on both sides of the ball, begging the question, are they really done adding at this point? The answer to that should be no, as they are looking to finally get back to the playoffs, and will have to navigate a tough schedule to do so.

Looking at the 31 options given by this list, let’s take a look and pick five of these players who the Raiders should pursue if they are released.
