The Raiders have made a ton of investments into their linebacker corps over the last two years. They spent big money on two free-agent linebackers and proceeded to draft Tanner Muse and Divine Deablo in the third round in back-to-back drafts.
However, they could be in the linebacker market once again as both Cory Littleton and Nick Kwiatoski could be released to save cap space. Neither player has lived up to their expectations and both fell out of favor with the previous coaching staff.
Their top linebacker in Denzel Perryman will return in 2022, but he will turn 30 next season. So could the Raiders use their top pick to find his long-term replacement?
