Karl Joseph leaves Raiders in free agency

After adding eight players in free agency, the Raiders finally lost their first player, but he wasn’t going to be a big part of the future in Las Vegas.

Joseph was one of the Raiders’ best free agents in a weak class. Joseph was the No. 14 overall draft pick in 2016, taken by former general manager Reggie McKenzie and former coach Jack Del Rio.

Joseph was a hard-hitting safety from West Virginia. Still, he was considered a bit of an overdraft because he came into the league with a knee injury. Injuries bothered Joseph with the Raiders.
