We should expect the Oakland Raiders to make a series of moves this offseason to better help their football team. The Raiders have some capital available to be aggressive in a few spots in free agency. One position group that Oakland may look at upgrading is at free safety.
Last year’s starter at free safety in Reggie Nelson will be hitting unrestricted free agency. While he was a Pro Bowler in his first year with the Raiders in 2016, he was anything but that in 2017. Nelson was unable to ballhawk like he did a year ago, as often got burnt like toast in the horrible Oakland secondary.
