One of the bigger issues with the Las Vegas Raiders roster heading into the 2020 offseason was the fact that they needed help on the defensive side of the ball. On all three levels, the Raiders struggled mightily last season, and general manager Mike Mayock went right to work in bringing in quality players for 2020.
The biggest area of need on the roster was at linebacker, where the team had only one player under contract, and it was a position group that was atrocious at times last season. They struggled to cover, leading to the defense losing the battles more times than not, and Mayock made sure he went out and got guys who can cover via free agency.
