The Las Vegas Raiders have been forced to spend big in free agency over the years in an attempt to make up for their inability to effectively draft. Swings and misses on the open market have then plagued the team and set them back even further, causing a vicious cycle for the Silver and Black.
Cornerback Nate Hobbs was an exception to this, as the former fifth-round pick out of Illinois starred for the Raiders over the last four seasons. He was the team's top defensive back at times throughout his tenure, but unfortunately, he was not re-signed by the new regime this offseason.
