Las Vegas Raiders: 3 offensive linemen the team must sign immediately

Kelechi Osemele

A very familiar face here in Kelechi Osemele, and also one of the best guards the Raiders have had in recent memory. In his three seasons from 2016-2018, Osemele was a two-time Pro Bowl selection, and a key cog in a 2016 season in which the Raiders made the playoffs for the first time in nearly 15 seasons.

Osemele has bounced around with a couple of teams since the Raiders traded the disgruntled guard in 2019. However, injuries have played a larger role in why Osemele has not stuck around in the league. He is currently an available free agent, and would be an enticing piece to consider adding to an offensive line in which starting guard Denzelle Good is out for the season with a torn ACL,

The return of captain and opposing starting guard Richie Incognito is murky, as injuries have so far been nearly the complete story of his time as a Raider, so there is an opening for Osemele to come in and start right away. Surely the Raiders can at least look into Osemele, also considering he would be someone quarterback Derek Carr would surely welcome back with open arms.
