4 free agents the Las Vegas Raiders should easily be willing to let leave

Keelan Cole

It was a roller coaster of a season for Keelan Cole with the Raiders, as he was cut in August, and then brought back to the active roster a month later. Cole, a veteran who was entering his sixth season in the NFL, was brought in to bring depth to the roster and would go on to appear in 14 games for the Silver and Black.

All told, Cole caught ten of his 21 targets, including a huge touchdown in the win over New England. As a depth piece, he did his job, but if the Raiders are looking to build up this position group, Mack Hollins should be the priority in free agency.

Brandon Parker

The run of Brandon Parker with the Raiders will likely come to an end this offseason, and for someone who never really produced in the Silver and Black, he hung on for quite a while. Parker was drafted by the Jon Gruden regime to be a starting offensive tackle, then he became a swing tackle, and then out of the rotation.

Parker has the size you look for in an NFL offensive tackle, but never really got his footing at the NFL level. Maybe he can go somewhere and provide depth, but in terms of this position group in Las Vegas, we should see an overhaul on the right side opposite Kolton Miller this season.
