The Oakland Raiders finished the 2018 NFL season with a 4-12 record, and were the first team in the league to be eliminated from playoff contention. It was former head coach Jon Gruden’s big return to the sidelines, and while the team struggled throughout, they did play a lot better down the stretch.
Heading into the 2019 NFL season, the Raiders have a chance to really revamp their roster, as they have 33 pending free agents, and nearly $70 million in cap space. In addition, they hold three first round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, as well as six of the first 100 selections this April.
