Oakland Raiders News: Complete 2016 Roster, Starters And Reserves Heading Into Training Camp

After their best season in four years, the Oakland Raiders made some major changes in the 2016 offseason. The franchise added some of the best free agents available, turning themselves into a legitimate playoff contender.

Oakland spent big money on new players, adding the likes of linebacker Bruce Irvin, cornerback Sean Smith, and offensive guard Kelechi Osemele. The contracts of the three players are worth a combined $100 million, as the Raiders put their salary cap space to good use.

The Raiders also made sure to re-sign their own free agents, giving left tackle Donald Penn a two-year contract worth $14 million. Oakland recently gave cornerback David Amerson a four-year contract extension that will potentially be worth $38 million.

Much of Oakland’s success, however, will depend upon the performance of their young players. Quarterback Derek Carr is coming off a Pro Bowl season, and he has a chance to take the next step and become one of the NFL’s top signal callers. Wide receiver Amari Cooper and defensive end Khalil Mack are looking to establish themselves as two of the best players at their respective positions, following Pro Bowl seasons of their own.

With NFL training camps beginning later this month rookies will report to Raiders’ camp by July 24, and veterans will report by July 28. The team plays its first preseason game on Friday, Aug. 12, and the roster will be cut down to 53 players by Week 1.
