2. Nick Kwiatkoski, Chicago Bears
Next up, the Raiders should consider pursuing one of the most underrated free agent linebackers set to hit the open market. Nick Kwiatkoski did not receive nearly enough credit for his role on the Bears’ defense in 2019.
He ended up playing all 16 games for Chicago last season, racking up 76 tackles, three sacks, one forced fumble, one interception, and four defended passes. Those numbers show just how good Kwiatkoski is capable of being.
At just 26 years old, Kwiatkoski would be an excellent addition for the Raiders both now and in the future. He could be a huge building block for the future and would be well worth the money it would take to get him.
