Free agency is often thrown for a loop by teams unexpectedly releasing players that were otherwise under contract. This happened yesterday when the Las Vegas Raiders parted ways with veteran C Rodney Hudson.
Hudson, 31, has been the Raiders’ starting center since 2015. Hudson joins a few other veteran players that Las Vegas has parted ways with this offseason. They appear to be shifting in a different organizational direction or perhaps gearing up for a bigger move.
Regardless, Hudson is now one of the biggest names on the free agent market. Speculation began almost immediately yesterday afternoon as to whether or not the Ravens should make a play to sign him.
