The Las Vegas Raiders are gearing up for training camp with another round of OTAs set to take place on May 26th. The team’s brass will soon need to make some difficult decisions.

Raiders brass, led by Dave Ziegler, has been busy this offseason putting together the 2022 roster. Whether it was making ballsy trades or extending core players such as Maxx Crosby and Derek Carr, the Raiders meant business.

OTAs began on May 23rd and, with offseason workouts now underway, decisions loom as to who will stay or who will go. This is a Raiders team that is expected to return to the playoffs this upcoming season, even in a division that boasts some of the best quarterbacks in the entire NFL.

As we inch closer to the summer months, decisions are going to have to be made in terms of this roster. Remember, there is a lot more talent on the roster than there was a year ago at this time, which is a good problem to have.

There are going to be some cuts that everyone saw coming and some surprises too. That’s inevitable. Let’s take a look at some potential players that might get their pink slips this offseason.
