3 free agents the Raiders should consider signing before the NFL Draft

2. DE Michael Bennett

If the Raiders are looking to sign another former Dallas Cowboy, look no further than Michael Bennett, who was traded midseason from the Patriots. While Bennett played just nine games for the Cowboys, it was clear that he still had a lot of juice left as a pass rusher. He recorded 11 tackles for a loss and four sacks as a part-time player in Rod Marinelli’s defense.

Bennett is no longer a starting defensive end, but he is still one of the better pass-rushers in the NFL. In a part-time role, playing as a defensive tackle for Marinelli, Bennett could have a lot of value for this Raiders’ team. But does he want to continue to play football as he turns 35 in November? That’s a question he might not even be able to answer right now.
