Pre-Training Camp Projected Raiders' 53-Man Roster
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.
You can watch our entire podcast on the projected pre-training camp roster below:
Whichever camp you find yourselves in, today I offer you my way to early 2023 NFL 53-man roster predictions based on who is on the roster right now.
I want to clarify that because I do not think the roster will look like this when the Silver and Black season starts 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 (4)
Wide receivers (5)
Tight Ends (3)
Offensive linemen (9)
Defensive linemen (10)
Linebackers (5)
Safeties (5)
Cornerbacks (6)
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.
