5 Raiders who most likely will not be back in Las Vegas in 2022
KJ Wright, LB
During the 2021 NFL season, the Raiders had to make a few moves at numerous positions to fill the roster, and one of those was bringing in linebacker K.J. Wright. A dominant player during his time in Seattle, Wright was expected to come in and play a big role for the Silver and Black, but most weeks, he looked lost in Gus Bradley’s system.
The expectation this offseason is that Divine Deablo is going to go into camp as a starter, and the team is likely to bring back fan-favorite Nicholas Morrow. Also, Denzel Perryman was an absolute monster in his first season with the Raiders and someone that deserves to stick around for the next few seasons.
For Wright, he is likely to be the odd man out, as linebacker is a spot where the Raiders could look to upgrade this offseason. The wild card will be Cory Littleton, who was forced into a special teams role down the stretch and may be cut before finishing out his contract with the team.
