Raiders need to bring these free agents back in 2025

The Las Vegas Raiders face an intriguing offseason.

The team’s season isn’t over, but at 2-6 with tough games remaining on the schedule, it doesn’t look like things are going to change at this point.

Many in Raider Nation are ready to give up on the season and focus on what lies ahead. Head coach Antonio Pierce’s team has plenty of cap space and an expected high selection in next year’s draft.

One of the most interesting things about the Raiders’ offseason is the number of impending free agents they have. The Raiders have eight starters or players who play entry-level snaps on defense ready to hit the open market.

Among these free agents, which three are the most important?

Let’s identify these three Raiders and see which ones Las Vegas absolutely needs to bring back.

Linebacker Robert Spillane – The Raiders found a steal in March 2023 by signing Spillane to a two-year, $7 million contract.

It became one of the greatest deals in recent memory. Since then, Spillane has made 227 total tackles, which ranks him in the top 10 of all defenders. It’s no exaggeration to say that Spillane has been one of the best linebackers in football.

Spillane turns 29 next March, meaning his best football is still ahead of him. Even if the Raiders are headed for a few years of being uncompetitive, Spillane could still be a key member of this team.

Safety Tre’von Moehrig – 2022 was a tough year for Moehrig, but the last two seasons have proven that he is a fundamental part of this defense.

In 2024, Moehrig has totaled 52 tackles, a career-high four for loss, four passes defended and two interceptions. He has been one of the Raiders’ best players this season.

Moehrig is only 25 years old and has been a consistent presence for the Silver and Black over the past two seasons. He should command a strong market, but the Raiders shouldn’t let him go.

Cornerback Nate Hobbs – Another fundamental part of the Raiders defense, Hobbs has been an elite force for the Raiders secondary.

Hobbs totaled 38 tackles, two for loss, five passes defended and one interception. The Raiders need stability in some form on defense, and that’s exactly what Hobbes provides.

Hobbs is also only 25 years old and should have a deal with teams in need of a cornerback. The Raiders should make him their cornerback of the future and not let him go.
