It escaped nobody’s notice that the Raiders did not sign a free-agent linebacker, one of the biggest positions of need, during the first wave of free agency. But that could be changing soon, as the team is hosting several of them and has interest in others.
On the day Vontaze Burfict is released and available, worth noting: The #Raiders are already doing work on LBs, hosting FAs Manti Teo and Aaron Lynch, source said. Oakland may have interest in Burfict, too.

Te’o played sparingly last year, falling behind some of the Saints’ talented young linebackers in their depth chart.
