Low
DT Maliek Collins — Collins signed on with the Raiders on a one-year prove-it deal. And he didn’t prove it. It could be worth another one-year deal, but only if it’s far cheaper base plus incentives. If he signs elsewhere, so be it. They still have Maurice Hurst.
CB Nevin Lawson — They liked Lawson enough to bring him back and make him their dime back. I could see them doing it again, but without a single career interception to his name, he isn’t exactly a game-changer.
DE Vic Beasley — He says his main issue has been his health. He had eight sacks in 2019, so it could be worth bringing him back into the fold to see if he can show them something in camp next year.
LB Raekwon McMillan — He barely saw the field most of the season, and when he did play, he didn’t play well. But the Raiders traded a fourth-round pick to get him, so would they really give up on him before the Dolphins even made that pick?
DL Chris Smith — Of the several veteran defensive linemen the Raiders signed, he was the one who showed the most promise. He was eventually signed off the practice squad to the active roster, presumably in part to keep another team from stealing him away.
QB Nathan Peterman — The Raiders will need another option while they decide what they want to do with Marcus Mariota.
RB Devontae Booker — Proved he is serviceable and worth being in the mix at the position if and until they can find a better option.
LB Kyle Wilber — Special teams captain who they have released at the cutdown deadline the past two seasons only to bring him back.
K Daniel Carlson RFA — An original round (fifth) tender might be enough to keep him. Though a second-round tender would ensure he goes untouched by another team.
LS Trent Sieg RFA — Original round tender allows Raiders to match any offer Sieg gets. If he gets an offer from anyone else.
