When the Raiders signed Cory Littleton to a big deal during the 2020 offseason, they thought they had finally solved their linebacker woes. Littleton was a former Pro Bowl player who was just 26 years old and coming off a strong season.
However, that just wasn’t the case as he never fit into the defense and was a liability more often than not. He did start 27 games for the Raiders, but he just never made an impact as he failed to record an interception and had just 0.5 sacks.
Going into the 2022 offseason, it’s expected that the Raiders will release Littleton in order to save some cap space. But is there any chance that the Raiders hold onto him, hoping that he can turn things around in Patrick Graham’s 3-4 defense?
