Silver And Black Pride
While the Las Vegas Raiders won’t be participating in the NFL playoffs during the Divisional Round this weekend, the Raiders do have an opportunity to get a look at a few players they should be interested in during free agency. So, let’s dive into one impending free agent from each remaining playoff team to keep tabs on.
2025 Stats (via Pro Football Focus): 27 pressures allowed (3 sacks), 69.0 run blocking grade
Age: 28 (turns 29 in March)
It’s no secret that Las Vegas could use some help in the trenches, especially since Dylan Parham’s contract is about to expire. Edwards has never been a game-changing offensive lineman, but he’s been consistently solid throughout his career. The seven-year veteran has posted above-average PFF grades every year that he’s recorded more than 250 total snaps.
2025 Stats: 56 tackles, 2 INTs (1 TD), 9 PDs, 5 TFLs, 4 sacks
Age: 25 (turns 26 in June)
The Silver and Black could use someone who can cover the slot, and McMillian ranked tied for sixth among cornerbacks (minimum 95 coverage snaps) with 10.0 coverage snaps per reception allowed in slot coverage this season, per PFF. He also ranked sixth with 0.92 yards per coverage snap on such assignments. The 2022 undrafted free agent can play the run, too, earning a 72.3 PFF run defense grade during the regular season.
2025 Stats: 55 catches, 643 yards, 9 TDs
Age: 28 (turns 29 in July)
To be honest, the 49ers don’t have many intriguing free agent options. But the Raiders’ wide receiver room is missing a proven veteran, which Jennings could provide. He is a similar type of receiver to Jack Bech, showing the ability to win from the slot or out wide, and could be a good addition to add some experience to the position group.
2025 Stats: 66 tackles, 4 INTs, 7 PDs, 4 TFLs
Age: 26 (turns 27 in March)
The Raiders need an upgrade at the free safety spot, and Bryant will be one of the top options in free agency. He’s been a ballhawk over the last two seasons, recording seven interceptions and 13 passes defended during that timeframe. While the 2022 fourth-round pick did post a career-high 17 missed tackles at a 21.5 percent rate this year, he had just eight misses at 10.5 percent in 2024, per PFF. The latter is closer to the norm for his career.
2025 Stats (via PFF): 24 pressures (4 sacks), 75.6 run-blocking grade
Age: 26 (turns 27 in February)
While Ingram was considered a bust for the Minnesota Vikings, he’s revived his career in Houston. The LSU product posted a career-high 71.5 PFF grade, which ranked 19th among guards with at least 250 snaps. Plus, he’s still young, which is the type of free agent the Raiders should be targeting this...
