5 Raiders who have offered almost nothing to the team in 2021

Clelin Ferrell

I feel like this is the obvious pick and the one most of you expected to see when clicking this article, but how can you not be disappointed in Clelin Ferrell at this point. There were times over the last couple of seasons where I tried to defend him because he has been solid against the run, he had generated pressure against opposing quarterbacks, and he did have an unfair amount of pressure on him because of where he was drafted.

With that being said, you really cannot defend him much anymore; Clelin Ferrell is an absolute bust.

So far this season, Ferrell has consistently played under 25% of the defensive snaps, he has no doubt been outplayed by the new defensive tackles on the team, and he is nowhere close to as productive as Maxx Crosby or Yannick Ngakoue.

So far this season, Ferrell has a combined three tackles, one QB hit, and no sacks. I hope that the Raiders at least tried to trade Ferrell at the deadline because he has not been able to do anything for this Raiders defense, even in the best year they have had since he joined the team.
