Jon Gruden’s offseason activity should’ve been the first sign he didn’t love the Raiders roster. He let lots of incumbents walk, and signed veteran free agents in bulk this offseason, and traded for a few more during and after the NFL Draft.
Most of the additions aren’t under contract long, either on prove-it deals or came in to patch a deficient position group in the short term. These deals make it possible to turn the roster over again, though free-agent volume could decrease as Gruden stacks up draft classes.
We’re not giving grades six games into a season, but the bye week provides time to update the status of all these free agent signings.
