Silver And Black Pride
The 2025 NFL season is starting to wind down, and the projected free agent market is starting to pick things up. The Raiders have over 20 players slated to hit free agency in a slew of unrestricted, restricted, and exclusive right free agents. Contract projections for Raiders free agents have recently started to float in through multiple outlets, a brief breakdown and analyzation of the markets plus predictions.
Pickett has been a steady backup for the majority of his career with a 63% career completion rate, 4934 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions along with 319 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. Pickett’s days as a starter are likely well past unless it’s in spot starts or cleanup. The Raiders could bring Pickett back as a backup though his contract seems rich for that.
Mostert has been a quality backup runningback and returner this season though the Raiders can easily improve off 21 attempts, 98 yards and just 67 receiving yards for their backup runningback to star Ashton Jeanty. Mostert isn’t expensive and could be back for quality depth as an RB3-4 but nothing as a 2nd guy.
White has struggled to catch on this season and likely is out of Vegas going forward and possibly playing down the end of his NFL career. White hasn’t seen the field this off-season and the Raiders clearly don’t see much in him going forward.
Lockett is tied to Pete Carroll, if Carroll returns as head coach in 2026 then it’s likely Lockett will come with. Since joining the Raiders, the 33 year old has logged 18 receptions for 201 yards. Lockett has seen his separation rate rise as well now ranking 24th in the NFL. The veteran receiver provides a high floor bottom to the room, and regardless if Carroll returns bringing him back could be a potential fit to add veteran experience for Las Vegas.
Bachman hasn’t seen much in his NFL career in terms of success though this year with the Raiders he’s turned in a rather solid season as a special teams gunner and returner. Bachman likely will be back regardless with a new coaching staff or not to serve as depth going into camp and special teams upside where he’s logged 6 tackles this season and just 1 miss.
Thomas is never known as a top receiving TE and solely as a blocker, he’s struggled with the Raiders this year as a blocker just like most the offense however. Thomas likely will be moved off of as the Raiders look to get Carter...
