The Raiders have 28 players who will become free agents when the NFL's new league year begins on March 12 at 1 p.m. PT. Of those 28, 17 are unrestricted free agents, five are restricted free agents and six are exclusive rights free agents.
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.
