Las Vegas Raiders Veteran Linebacker Heading To Open Market


Linebacker Denzel Perryman is set to become a free agent after failing to agree to a long-term deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Despite being a Pro Bowler in 2021 and recording 83 tackles, two interceptions, and 14 tackles for loss in 12 games last season, Perryman's history of injuries has raised concerns.

He has missed seven games due to injuries in the past two years while playing for the Raiders. As a result, the 30-year-old linebacker may have to settle for a one-year deal in free agency.

Nevertheless, Perryman is expected to draw interest from several teams around the NFL.

Over his eight-year career, Perryman has recorded 586 total tackles, six sacks, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, five interceptions and 11 passes defended across 96 games.
