Las Vegas Raiders: 53-man roster projection post-2022 NFL Draft

Special Teams (3) Daniel Carlson, A.J. Cole, Trent Sieg

Another season, another step forward for the trio of Daniel Carlson, A.J. Cole, and Trent Sieg, who has become one of the better specialist groups in the NFL. Carlson has been outstanding since coming over to the Raiders franchise and has established himself as one of the more clutch young kickers in the NFL.

A.J. Cole was a Pro Bowler at the punter spot last season, and while he may not punt a ton this year due to all the weapons the Raiders on offense, he is a weapon as well. Trent Sieg is a guy who won the long snapper job a few years back and has become a reliable player who will have no problem making the 53-man roster once again.

Raiders decline fifth-year options for 2019 first round trio, what does it mean?

The Las Vegas Raiders announced that they are declining the fifth-year options for Clelin Ferrell, Josh Jacobs, and Johnathan Abram.

Overall, the Raiders roster is in a much better place than it was, though there is still some work to be done via free agency. Las Vegas has some cap space remaining per Spotrac, and after bringing in Keenan Cole this week already, you can expect them to be active moving forward.

Total Roster Number: 53
