Today the Raiders added veteran cornerback Leon Hall, adding to a free agent class that appears to be heavy on older players. The 33-year-old corner becomes the 8th player the team either added or re-signed this offseason who will be in their 30’s before the start of next season.
They are as follows:
CB Leon Hall (33)
QB Josh Johnson (32)
CB Shareece Wright (31)
Gruden has made no bones about wanting to add veterans. It’s his MO. Eight players 30 or older seems like a lot. Until you consider this is out of a total 20 veteran free agents either added or re-signed by the Raiders.
