Training camp begins later this month. Let’s take a summer recap on the Las Vegas Raiders’ free-agent picture.
Re-signed with Raiders as unrestricted free agents:
Cornerback Eric Stokes, pass-rusher Malcolm Koonce, tight end Ian Thomas,
Departed Raiders in free agency:
Quarterback Kenny Pickett (Panthers), Stone Forsythe (Panthers), defensive back Lonnie Johnson (Dolphins), guard Dylan Parham (Jets), cornerback Darnay Holmes (Falcons), linebacker Jon Rhattigan (Bears).
Remaining unrestricted free agents:
Linebacker Jamal Adams
Wide receiver Alex Bachman
Long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer
Kicker Daniel Carlson
Wide receiver Tyler Lockett
Running back Raheem Mostert
Linebacker Elandon Roberts
Linebacker Devin White
Running back Zamir White
The numbers:
Of the Raiders 18 UFAs in 2026, the team has re-signed three, seen six depart and have 9 free agents remaining.
Who is a fit?
Las Vegas will could bring back a couple of the remaining UFAs, but there is nothing urgent. Training camp and preseason injuries could change thing.
Conclusion:
This was a very unimpressive free-agent class in Las Vegas to begin with. They had plenty of money and could prioritize whichever in-house options that they wanted and focused on Stokes and Koonce. It was somewhat of a surprise they didn’t re-sign Carlson, and instead, added Matt Gay. Other than that, there are no real surprises.
