The Raiders have totally revamped their linebacker corps over the last year, bringing in veterans Denzel Perryman and Jayon Brown. They also selected Divine Deablo in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft with the hope that he can be their starting weakside linebacker.
However, the Raiders could still use one more proven player in the linebacker corps. What they really need is someone who can help stop the run and occasionally offer some help as a blitzer.
That is why three-time Super Bowl champion Dont’a Hightower has been linked to the Raiders for some time now.
