The NFL offseason is underway and many teams have engaged in or are going through rookie minicamps and organized team activities (OTAs). The Las Vegas Raiders are in the midst of OTAs with another set on tap for May 28-29.
The offseason program along with the mandatory minicamp mid-June are designed to give the coaching staff an in-depth look at the roster built by general manager Tom Telesco, head coach Antonio Pierce, and a slew of other Silver & Black player personnel and coaches. Competition will be aplenty in all three phases — offense, defense, and special teams — and the fight for roster spots should be spirited.
