Way too Early Predicting the Raiders 2023 53-Man Roster

With OTAs and mini-camp on the horizon, we predict (based on today's roster) the entire Las Vegas Raiders 53-man roster for the 2023 season.

HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders entered 2022 with high expectations that were not realized. The 2023 offseason has been methodical.

Some have lauded the Silver and Black for a terrific NFL Draft and being frugal and calculated in free agency. Others feel like the Raiders got worse and did little to improve.

Whichever camp you find yourselves in, today I offer you my way too early 2023 NFL 53-man roster predictions based on who is on the roster right now.

I want to make that clear because I do not think the roster will look like this when the Silver and Black kick off the season on Sept. 10, 2023.

In 2022, this is how Dave Ziegler and Josh McDaniels broke down the initial roster per position:

Quarterbacks (2)

Running backs/fullback (6)

Wide receivers (5)

Tight Ends (3)

Offensive linemen (8)

Defensive linemen (10)

Linebackers (5)

Safeties (5)

Cornerbacks (6)

Specialists (3)

Here is how I project, as of today, the breakdown:

Quarterbacks (3)

Running backs/fullback (5)

Wide receivers (5)

Tight Ends (3)

Offensive linemen (8)

Defensive linemen (11)

Linebackers (5)

Safeties (5)

Cornerbacks (5)

Specialists (3)

I don't think the Raiders have finished overhauling their roster. That is why as the preseason continues, we will upgrade this list every time there is a significant event. There will be cuts from other teams, and I expect at least one trade.

The Raiders' offseason workout schedule is as follows:

OTA Offseason workouts: May 22-23, May 25, May 31-June 2, June 12-15

Mandatory Minicamp: June 6-8
