5 things that stand out about the Raiders’ 2024 schedule

By Vincent Bonsignore Las Vegas Review-Journal

March 14, 2021 - 8:36 pm

With the free agency legal tampering period starting Monday, a person close to the situation confirmed that the Raiders will welcome offensive lineman Kyle Long for a free agent visit.

Long, a son of former Raiders great Howie Long, retired last year after a seven-year career with the Chicago Bears in which he earned three Pro Bowl honors.

Long, 32, missed just one game in his first three years after being selected in the first round in 2013. But he played only 30 games from 2016 to 2019 because of numerous injures.

But Long is reportedly healthy and looking to return to the NFL. He would provide a major upgrade to a Raiders offensive line that has a hole at left guard and potentially another at right guard should the Raiders part ways with Gabe Jackson.

Teams can begin talking to prospective free agents Monday. They can begin signing them at 1 p.m. Pacific time Wednesday.
