3 players the Raiders must re-sign before free agency

2. CB Daryl Worley

Finding starting-caliber cornerbacks in the NFL is hard, especially ones with the size and athleticism of Daryl Worley. Is he perfect? Absolutely not. But does he have value in a league with big receivers and athletic tight ends? Absolutely.

Worley is just 24 years old, with a ton of game experience. It’s reasonable to assume his best football is still ahead of him. If the Raiders can continue to improve their pass rush and their linebacker play, that should only make Worley’s job a lot easier.

It’s also concerning that the Raiders don’t have another proven cornerback on their roster outside of Trayvon Mullen. If nothing else, the Raiders should re-sign Worley as a placeholder until they can find another player who fits with Mullen longterm. If not, the Raiders could be in big trouble at the cornerback position heading into the 2020 season.
