Projecting the Las Vegas Raiders 53-Man Roster
HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders, by all accounts, have had a successful offseason.
The Silver and Black have consistently performed at a winning level through four weeks of training camp, four joint practices, and two preseason games.
While the roster doesn’t have to be trimmed to 53 players until Aug. 29, we project what it might look like in nine days.
I also analyze what General Manager Dave Ziegler and Coach Josh McDaniels did last year to offer context for what things could look like in 2023. Additionally, I would encourage you to watch my podcast below for even more analysis and observation. We predict (based on today's roster) the entire Las Vegas Raiders 53-man roster for the 2023 season.
