All told, the Raiders have 17 players who are headed for free agency in March. They will likely bring back a few of them. Some because they legitimately don’t want to lose them. Others because it’s an easy transaction to give them another shot at winning a spot for next season.
Inevitably there will be players they want back who will leave. But not because they didn’t try. This is about those players they should put in the effort to bring back.
