No cornerback Duke Shelley -- It was not expected that the Raiders would not keep Duke Shelley.
Our Hondo S. Carpenter Sr. projected that Shelley would be one of the six cornerbacks the Raiders would keep, but he did not make the cut.
Shelley had a great season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2022, grading out as one of the top cover corners in the league on Pro Football Focus. Shelley finished with a 86.7 coverage grade, third-highest in the NFL.
As it stands, the Raiders decided not to keep Shelley, which comes as a surprise based on how well he performed last season.
