NFL free agency doesn’t start until Wednesday afternoon. The league’s exclusive negotiating window closes well before that.
Opponents can contact pending free agents (their representatives, anyway) starting Monday afternoon. That means the Raiders, like other teams, will soon face competition re-signing their own free agents.
Defensive tackle Justin Ellis’ deal got done beforehand. The Raiders have told Sebastian Janikowski and Jon Condo they won’t attempt to re-sign them.
That leaves seven players headed for unrestricted free agency, a group headlined by NaVorro Bowman, TJ Carrie and Denico Autry. The Raiders don’t have any restricted free agents (with three year’s service time), and therefore don’t need to tender players in that spot.
