The Las Vegas Raiders made an interesting free agent signing last week, inking 33-year-old Greg Van Roten to a deal. While Van Roten is an NFL journeyman, playing for seven NFL teams and spending two years in the CFL since 2012, he has started in 54 games as an interior offensive lineman during his tenure in the NFL.
That experience makes him a contender to start for the Silver and Black in 2023 as he’ll enter a training camp battle with incumbent starting right guard, Alex Bars. Based on statistics provided by Pro Football Focus, that’s a matchup that should favor Van Roten.
