CB Rock Ya-Sin
The Raiders traded away 2021 sack leader Yannick Ngakoue to acquire Ya-Sin, so it might be good to get more than one season out of him. He played decent much of the season, though the secondary struggled overall, so I couldn’t really blame them if they felt the need to overhaul the group.
FB Jakob Johnson
Johnson was a beast as a blocker, helping Jacobs lead the league in rushing. Fullbacks aren’t in high demand in the NFL, so if the Raiders want him back, it shouldn’t be tough to keep him. And they should.
S Duron Harmon
Harmon was signed to a one-year deal last offseason and ultimately took over the starting safety job for Johnathan Abram. I could see him coming back, but at this point he may have just been a temporary solution until reinforcements arrive.
QB Jarrett Stidham
His first game as the starter was the best game by any QB on the Raiders last season. That may have been because the opponent had little tape on him. It may have been because he was so familiar with Josh McDaniels’s offense. Or, he may be worth a shot to see if he can be a starter. Though it would be a mistake for the Raiders not to sign or draft a QB they intend to start. Either Stidham’s return would be with the opportunity to compete for the job or once again be the next man up.
TE Foster Moreau
Moreau has proven he is a pretty solid combination of blocking and receiving abilities. He could be a worthy starter in a pinch and is a damn good second tight end. Darren Waller is under contract, and for the right price, it would be valuable to have Moreau back as well.
