The Las Vegas Raiders have a ton of free agency decisions to make this offseason, and bringing back these three first-year players should be a priority.

The 2022 NFL season for the Las Vegas Raiders was a disappointing one, as it appeared they would build upon the playoff berth from the season before. Instead, the team was a laughingstock at times, losing big leads, and finishing as one of the worst teams in the AFC, despite being loaded with Pro Bowl talent.

Here, we look at three players who performed well in their first season in the Silver and Black and should be brought back in 2023 via free agency.

Rock Ya-Sin

We start on the defensive side of the ball, as the Raiders made a play to bring in some playmakers on defense this past offseason. However, a lot of the new faces did not work out, but one I would like to see brought back for another go-around is cornerback Rock Ya-Sin.

A veteran who came to the Raiders via a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, Ya-Sin would bring stability to a defensive backfield that has to be better in 2023. Ya-Sin is a proven player in this league, and if healthy, as he appeared in only 11 games last season, he could provide great leadership in the cornerback room.
