5 Las Vegas Raiders players who likely played their final game with the team
No. 2: Clelin Ferrell, DL
When Clelin Ferrell was selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, it was met with a chorus of boos from the Raiders fans in attendance. The franchise was in desperate need of an edge rusher after the trade of Khalil Mack the year before, and while Ferrell was a two-time national champion at Clemson, he was not the player anybody wanted.
That player was Josh Allen, who would go on to be selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars at pick No. 7, and then become a Pro Bowl player as a rookie. For Ferrell, he just never caught on as a dominant pass rusher at the NFL level, and has been more of a depth guy, and better run-stopper through his first four seasons.
With Maxx Crosby being selected on Day 3 of that same draft, it has furthered Ferrell’s reputation of being a bust, and as a free agent this offseason, he is likely to take his talent somewhere else. For Raider Nation, he will always be considered a mistake of a draft pick in the top-5, but maybe he can latch on to another franchise and start looking more like a first-round talent.
