He\u2019s been there since 2012 and if he continues to play, it will likely be in Tampa Bay. But he would be a great short-term leader for the Raiders\u2019 defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He will be a high-ticket free agent. He had a good season in 2025 and cornerbacks get paid in free agency. He has, though, had some up-and-downs and injury issues. So, he could be risky. Yet, Spytek was with the Buccaneers when he was drafted and could have interest in putting in Rob Leonard\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Like David, Evans may be a Tampa Bay lifer. He\u2019s been there since 2014 and he is an all-time great Buccaneer. if he does leave, though, he may want to go to a contender. Yet, Spytek would probably love to have him help get Fernando Mendoza comfortable in the NFL on a short-term contract.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Spytek was part of the front office that made the defensive lineman a second-round pick in 2022. Hall is more of a backup type, but it\u2019s a premium position that the Raiders will want to add at.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jones and Spytek were in Tampa Bay together in 2024. The Raiders could have interest on a modest, short-term deal for Jones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Keep an eye on this one. White, a third-round pick in 2022, had a nice season as a rusher in 2025 and he is known for his blocking and his receiving skills. He could be a nice pairing with Ashton Jeanty in Klint Kubiak\u2019s run-priority offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Which of these players would you most like to see Spytek sign?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In his second season as the Las Vegas Raiders\u2019 general manager, John Spytek could sign some players he&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178392,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[84389,84390,135,137,136],"class_list":["post-178391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-las-vegas-raiders-free-agency","tag-las-vegas-raiders-rumors","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
