Which Las Vegas Raiders free agents won’t be back in 2022?

2. KJ Wright, linebacker

It’s surprising that nobody signed Wright before the Raiders did in early September with the way he’s played throughout his career.

The Las Vegas Raiders have seemingly been collecting any and every linebacker they can get their hands on over the last couple of years, and Wright has come in and played a pretty impactful role for them in 12 games.

He’s been a part-time player, but he’s racked up 32 total tackles and two tackles for loss.

At the age of 32 going on 33 next offseason, it’s likely that the Raiders will let Wright hit free agency. For the time being, he’s been a solid one-year rental for them.

I think Wright could wind up back in Seattle to play one or two more years in the league after this season. Seahawks fans were certainly lamenting his absence early in the season.
