The Las Vegas Raiders had to make a handful of brutal decisions this offseason as the new regime turned the roster over from last year's four-win squad. One of the victims of this change was cornerback Nate Hobbs, a former fifth-round draft pick by the franchise.
Hobbs, after spending almost four years as a starting cornerback, was not offered a contract by new general manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll in free agency. While he was certainly a great player when he was healthy, he played in just 51 of a potential 68 games in his Raiders career.
