3 defensive free agents the Las Vegas Raiders could still add for 2022

Anthony Barr, Linebacker

Staying with the linebacker position, one name to keep an eye on when it comes to veteran talent to add to the roster is Anthony Barr. Last season, Barr appeared in only 11 games, but he was still able to rack up over 70 tackles while nabbing three interceptions.

Barr is no doubt a playmaker from the linebacker position, and new defensive coordinator Patrick Graham will love his sideline-to-sideline ability. He can play outside linebacker, as well as come down and get off the edge if need be, making him a versatile addition to any defense.

The veteran linebacker is a four-time Pro Bowler who just turned 30 years old, so despite the injuries, you would have to think that he has a lot of good football left ahead of him. He has not played a full season of games since 2017, and if he is actually fully healthy and ready to go, why not bring him to camp and see what he has left.
