Raiders free agent target – Carlos Dunlap, DE/OLB

The Raiders still need to add depth to their pass rush group. Adding Carlos Dunlap, a two-time Pro Bowler, behind Chandler Jones could give Graham formidable depth. With experience as both an outside linebacker and a traditional defensive end when he played under Lou Anarumo with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2019, Dunlap brings plenty of versatility.

Somehow, still, not with a team, Dunlap remains an explosive pass rusher. He amassed eight and a half sacks last season. The Seattle Seahawks had him blitz a total of 17 times, and he pressured the opposing signal-caller 21 times.

Despite being 33 years old, Dunlap had one of his best seasons in 2021, and with the Raiders, he’d be relied upon as a depth piece and a situational pass rusher. In all likelihood, he’d flourish in Las Vegas while giving them a fresh presence, providing constant pressure on plays where Crosby or Jones could catch a breather.
