Raiders at Risk of Losing Key Starter to AFC West Rival on $45 Million Contract
The Las Vegas Raiders defense has played well over the last two seasons but could have to undergo some major changes thanks to free agency. Key starters like Marcus Epps, Robert Spillane, Nate Hobbs, Malcolm Koone, Divine Deablo and Tre’von Moehrig are all free agents.
The Raiders should be able to keep some of those players but it will be difficult to re-sign all of them. The hardest to keep will likely be Moehrig.
The former second-round pick came into his own in recent years and is now one of the best safeties in the NFL. If the Raiders want to keep him, it’s not going to be cheap. That could open up the chance for another team to swoop in and sign him.
The Denver Broncos have to find a better safety option than P.J. Locke this offseason, and they could do so by signing someone away from the Raiders,” Mosher wrote in a Feb. 4 column. “Tre’Von Moehrig has been an incredibly durable and reliable player in Las Vegas during the last four seasons.
“While he isn’t overly dynamic, he can play all over the defense and is an ascending player. Adding him to Vance Joseph’s defense would
give Denver the best secondary in the league.”
