The Raiders have second-year corners Trayvon Mullen and Isaiah Johnson to choose first-round pick Damon Arnette, nickel back Lamarcus Joyner, fourth-rounder Amik Robertson and Nevin Lawson.

Amukamara stated a brief time after signing that he believed he d be a best fit in Paul Guenthers protective plan, however it appears that was not the case once the team got on the field this summer. Amukamara invested the last 3 years with the Bears after opening his career with the Giants and investing one year with the Jaguars. He was a starter in each of those stops and will now search for elsewhere to keep that streak alive.
