We’re over the hump for the busiest part of the NFL offseason. The eye of the storm, if you will. Where we are the same amount of time since the start of free agency as we are from the NFL draft.
That means most of the big free agents have been signed by each team—at least the ones whose addition could change their draft plans.
The Raiders were very busy, signing over 20 free agents and adding a couple of others in trades. The vast majority of their additions were not surefire starters, which gives them some insurance in case they don’t fill a need in the draft while offering them some flexibility in the hopes they could resist reaching.
