With less than a month to go before 2019 NFL free agency begins, boldly predicting what the Oakland Raiders will do just makes too much sense.

Things are about to get very interesting for the Oakland Raiders. With tons of salary cap space to throw around, a barrel full of draft ammo and plenty of issues to address, the upcoming offseason could be an escape for a franchise seemingly trapped in a state of ineptitude.

The assumption right now is that Jon Gruden is preparing for the unfolding of his master plan. He already spent the last year transforming this roster, moving pieces at a rapid pace while stockpiling future assets. Can he do enough during another offseason of endless tinkering to return the Raiders to relevance?

It’s anyone’s guess at this point. However, if someone is capable of pulling off a ridiculous overnight turnaround in unorthodox fashion, it’s Chucky.

So what can we expect from the Raiders when 2019 NFL free agency gets under way in less than a month? Most are preparing for plenty of spending, and powerful moves from the team that fans everywhere love to poke fun at. While I wouldn’t expect a barrage of big-name signings, don’t be surprised if Oakland makes at least a couple of splashes before all is said and done.

With that in mind, I’ve put together a few bold predictions for the Raiders during 2019 NFL free agency. Chances are none of them will come true, but they still help set the tone for an offseason that could be a turning point for Gruden and Co.
