The tight end position battle will also be an intriguing one to watch as not only are roster spots up for grabs, but the starting job is as well. With 2018 receiving leaderJared Cookdeparting via free agency, Oakland will be looking for someone new to stand up and take the reigns.
Expect the Raiders to give converted wide receiverDarren Wallerevery opportunity to be that guy and serve as the team’s top receiving threat. Meanwhile, rookieFoster Moreauis a lock and will likely serve as the team’s top in-line blocker following the departure of veteranLee Smith.
Former Seattle Seahawks tight endLuke Willsonis a versatile veteran who’s started 45 games in his career while the recently signedErik Swoopebrings receiving potential with a basketball background.
Derek CarrierandPaul Butlerget the boot and become victims of the numbers game. Carrier simply never stood out in limited opportunities last year while Butler could be a candidate for the practice squad.
