With the 2025 season officially in the books after the Seattle Seahawks’ 29-13 win in Super Bowl LX, all eyes turn towards 2026.

And for the Las Vegas Raiders, the offseason prep is marked by one particular milestone: A decision on 23 in-house free agents. Some of those choices will be easier than others.

Four those free agents are exclusive rights free agents, who have no choice but to re-sign with the Silver & Black if given a qualifying offer. There’s also a pair of restricted free agents, who can be tendered with the team receiving draft pick compensation if they sign elsewhere.

But he main junk are the 17 that’ll hit unrestricted free agency and are able to sign with any of the 32 teams — Raiders included.

Let’s take a look at the list:
