Here's an early look at which Raiders players are set to enter free agency.
Unrestricted Free Agents (17)
Any player with four or more accrued seasons and an expired contract; free to negotiate and sign with any team.
Restricted Free Agents (5)
A player with three accrued seasons and an expired contract. RFAs are free to negotiate and sign with any team, but their original team can offer them a qualifying offer that can come with the right of first refusal and/or draft-pick compensation.
Exclusive Rights Free Agents (6)
Any player with fewer than three accrued seasons and an expired contract. If his original team offers him a one-year contract at the league minimum (based on his credited seasons), the player cannot negotiate with other teams.
