The Las Vegas Raiders reconstructed their roster this offseason under John Spytek and Pete Carroll. They used both the draft and free agency to completely reassemble the back half of their defense, as none of the seven starters behind the defensive line from last year remain in Las Vegas.
While the release of Jack Jones was expected, and Nate Hobbs was bound to get paid more elsewhere, the trading of Jakorian Bennett just before the preseason shocked Raider Nation. He was both a fan favorite and considered to be the best cornerback on the roster at the time.
