NFL media thinks Raiders top free agent could be underpriced on market

By most accounts, the top free agent set to hit the market from the Raiders is safety Tre’von Moehrig. One such account was ESPN recently who had him as one of just two Raiders free agents in the top 50, coming in at 13.


It makes it all the more interesting that Kevin Patra at NFL media just listed Moehrig among those players who he thinks will be underpriced on the open market.


This could be a swing-and-miss on my part, as Moehrig might have a stronger market than I anticipate. However, GMs have mostly eschewed spending on safeties in free agency in recent years. If they do so again, Moehrig could offer some C.J. Gardner-Johnson-type dividends. A playmaker who has improved every season, Moehrig showed versatility in the past two years, playing more toward the line of scrimmage (104 tackles in 2024). He’s generated five INTs, 18 passes defended and three sacks since the beginning of the 2023 campaign. At 25, he’s the type of still-growing, multi-talented safety teams should want in their secondary.


This is just to say that Moehrig is worth more than he will fetch, which speaks highly of his talents. The question is how hard the Raiders will push to try and keep him off that open market. And if Moehrig will test it to see what kind of market he will have.


Both Moehrig and fellow safety Marcus Epps are set to become free agents. So too is slot cornerback Nate Hobbs, who should also be a high priority for the Raiders to bring back.
