There is a lot to like about the Las Vegas Raiders roster heading into the 2022 season, but these three contracts are the worst on the books.

The Las Vegas Raiders have had a very busy offseason, possibly even the busiest one in recent memory. With all the movement in the roster department, there are still a few players heading into 2022 not worthy of their contracts.

Much can be said for the salaries that have been dumped, and players that were allowed to walk in free agency. It created a slew of cap space that has the Raiders looking like one of the AFC West favorites (albeit on paper), as they prepare for the 2022 season.

For Las Vegas, the goal is obvious, and that is to turn their playoff appearance in 2021 into a yearly thing, and not something that happens only twice every 20 years. They have put a solid staff in place and brought in some elite playmakers on both sides of the ball this offseason, so you have to think they will be an improved unit this year.

Let’s dive into three contracts in 2022 that are not so pleasing on this Raiders roster.
