The praise was all over the football landscape when the Las Vegas Raiders signed Cory Littleton before the 2020 season. Pro football focus said the Raiders had the best linebacker corps after the signing.
The results on the field didn't match the expectations. Littleton's struggles as a Raider are well documented, with no interceptions while wearing the silver and black. He decided he couldn't tackle anymore when he joined the Raiders with plenty of missed tackles you didn't see with the Los Angeles Rams.
The new front office didn't think Littleton added much to their plans.
