Raiders free agency: 3 available targets of the utmost importance

Terron Armstead, OT

If the Raiders are going to swing big, they might as well do it at offensive tackle, as they need an answer to complement Kolton Miller. Since being drafted by the Silver and Black, Miller has become one of the better young left tackles in the NFL, but last year, the troubles on the opposite side really hurt the team.

There are a few names the Raiders could target in free agency, though one of them, Morgan Moses, was signed by Baltimore on Tuesday night. The biggest name at the position group available now is Terron Armstead, who would be an excellent fit on this offensive line, and allow the team to keep Alex Leatherwood on the inside.

Armstead is going to be an expensive option, but one that could help solidify the bookends along this offensive line for years to come. With so many edge rushers in the division, they have to be strong on both sides of the line, and Armstead helps them achieve that in a big way.
