The Las Vegas Raiders have plenty of players hitting free agency this offseason, and these five are likely done in the Silver and Black.

The 2021 NFL season has come to a close for the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that battled through adversity both on and off the field. To say that the season was a success would be an understatement, as they won four straight games to close out the regular season, and ended up with the No. 5 seed in the AFC.

Though their playoff run lasted only one game, as they once again lost a controversial postseason matchup, the groundwork has been set for what should be a run as a legitimate playoff contender. Sure, this offseason is going to be huge, as the Raiders move on from general manager Mike Mayock, and likely bring in a new head coach, but the goal has to be the same.

When looking at how the roster was constructed for the 2021 NFL season, there are a lot of players who played on expiring contracts. There are many of these players that the Raiders should bring back for another go-around in 2022, but also a bunch that have likely spent their last days as members of this beloved franchise.

Here, we take a look at five players who could be done with the Raiders.
