Raiders NFL Futures Free Agency

Despite having the toughest schedule in the NFL, the Raiders still managed to go 7-9 this past season.

Who knows how successful the Silver and Black could have been if Antonio Brown had maintained a sensible attitude and completed a full season under Jon Gruden?

Undoubtedly, the Las Vegas Raiders will be active participants in the free agency and trade market this spring as they aim to make a significant impact in their inaugural season in their new home. Tom Brady is the prominent name being discussed, but there are numerous other strategies the Raiders could employ to challenge the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Chiefs, in the division.

 

Raiders NFL Futures odds

Currently, sportsbooks nationwide consider the Vegas Raiders as an average team.

However, this doesn’t imply that they aren’t worth investing a few bucks in right now.

A year ago, the San Francisco 49ers had odds of +4500 to win the Super Bowl. They didn’t ultimately win the Lombardi trophy, but they were just a few plays away from securing their franchise’s sixth Super Bowl victory.

Choosing a few underdogs that could greatly surpass expectations is a wise gambling approach during this period.

These are the odds for the Raiders to win the Super Bowl in February 2021 at different legal sportsbooks.

FanDuel: +5000

DraftKings: +5000

888 Sport: +5000

Bet365: +3300

 

Wide receivers needed

Obviously, the Raiders’ odds would soar if Brady were to join Gruden’s camp.

Buzz has been increasing that Brady is keen to play with Brown again. In the meantime, Brown has been attempting to reconcile with Gruden this off-season.

Regardless of the outcomes with Brady and Brown, Gruden will undoubtedly be seeking a new receiver in free agency.

Tyrell Williams, the Raiders’ top wide receiver this past season, managed to amass only 651 yards. While these figures are respectable for a second-string receiver, they are not quite up to elite standards.

AJ Green, Robby Anderson, and Devin Funchess are a few receivers who have been cited as potential targets for the Raiders this off-season.
