Raiders seem unsatisfied with safety depth

The Raiders clearly aren’t satisfied with their safety depth. That’s evident through action, the only true barometer of an NFL team’s roster evaluation.

Despite having clear-cut starters and reserves at the position, the Raiders have still been hunting for upgrades.

They gave an offer sheet to restricted free agent safety Sean Richardson, but the Packers matched the deal to keep him in Green Bay.

The Raiders reportedly put a waiver claim on safety D.J. Swearinger, who was released by Houston earlier this week. They have No. 4 priority regarding waiver claims – it follows the draft order during the offseason – making it a realistic chance Swearinger could’ve been a Raiders.
