The Oakland Raiders went to the playoffs during the 2016 NFL season on the back of an incredibly young and talented roster. MVP candidate Derek Carr was the obvious star, but skill position players drafted by the franchise like Amari Cooper and Latavius Murray were key cogs in the machine as well.
Despite a 12-4 record and a campaign that never reached its full potential due to a broken leg sustained by Carr in Week 16, the team went through several changes during the offseason. The most disappointing of which was the loss of Murray, who signed with the Vikings in free agency.
