LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (6-11)
CAMP SITE: Henderson, Nevada
KEY ADDITIONS: QB Jimmy Garoppolo, WR Jakobi Meyers, S Marcus Epps, LB Robert Spillane, DE Tyree Wilson, TE Michael Mayer, DT Byron Young.
KEY LOSSES: QB Derek Carr, TE Darren Waller, LB Denzel Perryman, DE Clelin Ferrell, TE Foster Moreau, WR Mack Hollins, CB Rock Ya-Sin, QB Jarrett Stidham, DT Andrew Billings.
KEY STORYLINES: The Raiders likely won't have running back Josh Jacobs for training camp after the two sides failed to agree on a long-term extension. He could opt to return for the season and play on a $10.1 million franchise tag the Raiders placed on him. Jacobs led the NFL in rushing last season with 1,653 yards. There also are foot injury concerns for two key newcomers — Garoppolo and Wilson — that kept both out of organized team activities. Raiders coach Josh McDaniels has expressed confidence Garoppolo will be ready to go, but the quarterback's injury history is cause for concern.
