With the off-season on the horizon, plenty of old friends are available. A reunion with these four could make sense for both sides.

After a season loaded with expectations, the Raiders fell short of all their goals. For members of Raider Nation, this was made even worse when they had to watch the Chiefs raise another trophy.

In the NFL, with failure often comes change. The Raiders are no exception to that as they have already released their former franchise quarterback, Derek Carr. Elsewhere on the roster, the team will be losing many contributors from last season such as Mack Hollins and Denzel Perryman who had expiring contracts.

As such, look for a totally remade roster in 2023 as general manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels look to continue building the roster in their image. While former Patriots standouts are likely to be looked at, some past Raiders fit current needs on the team as well.

Of course, players like Arden Key are free agents but have basically severed all ties to the Silver and Black. Instead, we take a look into four players who were fan favorites in their first go around but, for one reason or another, were let go.
