We’re through two days of free agency now. The first day saw the Raiders burst out the gates by agreeing to terms with edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue.

The second day was spent watching their own free agents get snatched up while their own big news was the release of Pro Bowl center Rodney Hudson. Add that Kyle Long also worked out for the Raiders and left without a deal in place and Day 2 didn’t go at all as hoped.

It ended on a somewhat high note, though. With the news that LB Nicholas Morrow would be re-signing with the team according to a source. His return should mean they have their three starting linebackers.
