Summary

The Raiders had huge struggles last season, ranking 29th defensively. Their once top pass defense took a step backwards. But the talent is there for this team to turn it around defensively, especially with a new coaching regime. Richard Seymour can dominate along the defensive line and Aaron Curry continues to emerge as a top linebacker. Ron Bartell and Shawntae Spencer were both acquired this offseason and should be the starter at cornerback, providing an upgrade over last season. The Raiders had 39 sacks last year, a solid total, but they can do even better this year with the talent they have on that side of the ball. The special teams have a lot of upside with Jacoby Ford leading the way. He has been an explosive return man since joining the league.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Raiders can turn it around some this season and help fantasy teams on a spot start basis. They have potential in the return game and should post solid sack totals. The secondary remains a bit of a concern but should at least be better than last season.

Notes

Mar 08 10:03 am
Updating a previous item, the Oakland Raiders have added two additional years to the four-year contract SS Tyvon Branch signed last season after the team restructured his deal. Branch will earn $6 million in 2013, in large part because of a $3.5 million roster bonus the team honored. Branch's cap figure has dropped from $10.9 million to approximately $6 million. His salaries for 2014 and 2015 remain unchanged; however, he now is slated to earn $6.5 million in 2016 and 2017.
