Who's In, Who's Out, Who's On the Bubble: Raiders Projected 53-Man Roster

Today, we reveal our second roster projection, complete with an analysis of each player. We'll discuss who is expected to make the team, who is at risk of being cut, and who is on the bubble. As always, there might be a few surprises along the way.

Las Vegas Raiders Trainning Camp Drills | Darrell Craig Harris, On SI

HENDERSON, Nev.—The Las Vegas Raiders have granted new head coach and future Hall of Fame member Pete Carroll's request for a competitive training camp. It has exceeded expectations in many ways.

Three times a year, we provide our projected 53-man roster: first before training camp, then in the middle of training camp (which is today), and finally after the last preseason game, just before the NFL's designated cut-down day.

Every day we are in camp watching, observing and noting not only how players play, but gauging coaching contact, talking to sources, and judging all of the dynamics that go into new GM John Spytek’s roster configuration.

Roster building is one of the most critical parts of a GM's job, because he must keep his attention on the season at hand, but also have one eye to the future.

Every day at camp, we watch and observe players, noting not only their performance but also the level of coaching interaction. We talk to various sources and assess all the dynamics involved in new GM John Spytek's roster configuration.

Roster building is a crucial aspect of a GM's role, as it requires balancing attention on the current season while also keeping an eye on the future.

So, without any further delay, we offer our second projected list.
