With seven weeks left in the Las Vegas Raiders’ season, it’s not too soon to start looking ahead to the 2025 offseason.
The Raiders are projected to have the third-most salary cap space in the NFL, giving them significant flexibility in free agency—a crucial opportunity considering their likely roster needs.
While the 2025 free agent class appears shallow at most positions, safety stands out as a potentially deep group. This is particularly relevant for the Raiders, as their Week 1 starting safeties, Tre’von Moehrig and Marcus Epps, are both set to hit free agency.

Epps suffered a season-ending knee injury earlier in the year, but Moehrig has been a bright spot, recording 65 tackles and being on pace for a career high, along with two interceptions. The Raiders may prioritize extending Moehrig, a 2021 second-round pick. If they choose not to retain both players, they could look to the free agent market for reinforcements.
The potential pool of safeties includes high-profile names such as Jevon Holland (Miami Dolphins), Camryn Bynum (Minnesota Vikings), Talanoa Hufanga (San Francisco 49ers), Budda Baker (Arizona Cardinals), and Andre Cisco (Jacksonville Jaguars).
With these options, the Raiders face some critical decisions as they shape their future plans.
