So which free agents should the Silver and Black target?

Let’s take a closer look at three of them.

Wide receiver Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals – Contract negotiations between Higgins and the Bengals have not gone well and the star wide receiver appears headed for free agency in 2025.

During his career, Higgins caught 286 passes for 4,025 yards and 27 touchdowns in five seasons. He’s a big target who can win jump shots in the end zone and pose a serious threat to an offense.

After trading Davante Adams, the Raiders need a true WR1. Higgins has been a WR2 for much of his career, but he has the talent to be one of the best receivers in an offense. He can be that for the Raiders.

Running back Aaron Jones, Minnesota Vikings – Jones has long been one of the most underrated running backs in the NFL.

Although he will turn 30 in December, Jones still has plenty of good football left in the tank. He totaled 443 yards and two touchdowns this season with the Vikings.

The Raiders’ running game has struggled mightily this season, but Jones could provide a spark to this group in 2025.

Quarterback Jameis Winston, Cleveland Browns – If the Raiders don’t draft a quarterback, they could add Winston on a short-term deal as a transition option.

Winston has always been an explosive quarterback despite turnover issues. During his 10-year career, he totaled 22,187 yards and 142 touchdowns.

Winston would provide a much better transition option than Gardner Minshew II or Aidan O’Connell as the Raiders search for their quarterback of the future.
