After a season in which the pass rush was historically bad, the first chance the Raiders had to fix it was free agency. A week in and the Raiders had signed a total of zero edge rushers.
A few days into free agency, they added former Giants defensive end Josh Mauro. The thing is about Mauro...he has 3.0 career sacks...in five NFL seasons. He isn’t rushing anything. He’s a run stopping defensive end and that’s pretty much it.
The Raiders were midway through April and were no closer to having a pass rush than when they ended the season.
