The Raiders are finally headed in the right direction. They have Derek Carr and Amari Cooper leading an offense that looks like it can put points on the board. Latavius Murray had a nice season for the Raiders, but they definitely were expecting bigger things out of the backfield.

Mark Davis isn’t as compulsive as his father, but the Raiders could make a splash to try and get wins on the board as quickly as possible in hopes of making the team look more attractive to potential suitors (or the city of Oakland) in terms of getting the franchise a new stadium. Forte could find himself in the silver and black, but if Marshawn Lynch decides to play next year, the Raiders might also go that direction as well.

Odds of signing: 8 to 1
