We take a look at the safety position for the Raiders ahead of free agency to give it a condition of either Strong, Stable, Unstable, Serious, or Critical.
Returning starters: Tre’von Moehrig
Depth: Roderic Teamer, Isaiah Pola-Mao, Jalen Elliott
Free agents: Duron Harmon, Matthias Farley
Moehrig had a rough season at free safety, but he is the starter and will get a shot to rebound.
Harmon played well at free safety as a veteran who knows the system. But was he just a bridge player?
Teamer is a versatile player who lined up at safety and nickel corner while also being a standout special…Teamer. He is valuable depth in the secondary.
Pola-Mao showed some flashes for an undrafted rookie, especially on blitzes. He’s an intriguing young player who could compete for more playing time.
Condition: Unstable
Why: It wouldn’t be tough to get Harmon back, but the team could – and probably should – look for an upgrade.
